I'm So Slooooooooooow

Back when I used to do all my kayak work alone in the man-cave (my office at NAVSEA Balboa), nobody ever knew just how much time I take when outfitting a kayak. I think I took a month on my first Prowler and nobody realized. Nobody knew just what a slug I can be. Nobody ever watched me spend an hour laying out the exact positions for the switches on the power distribution unit. Nobody was around to time me as I pondered just what the best position would be for my fish finder. Nobody ever checked the clock as I applied three coats of Starbright to seal a switch. Nobody until now. And it's not like my wife is timing me. She knows that I waste a lot of time; in fact, she expects me to waste time. No, this is worse. I've chosen to do all the work on my yak in plain view of a bunch of kayak professionals. That's right; people who can outfit a kayak in an afternoon. As I work on my yak over at OEX, I have put myself on display. My slow-ass thought/work processes on display for all to see....and comment on. Bets are being made on how many more days it will take me to finish. I've only been working on it since last Tuesday. That's blazing progress by my standards, but, sadly, not by the pros. Oh well; at least I entertain them with the crazy crap that I do with a kayak. I should probably finish this week, or Brent is going to start charging me rent.

In all honesty, I'm getting close to finishing up. I've got most of the cutting, drilling, welding, bolting and bashing done, and I'm now working on the electrical system. I'll see if I can finish up on Wednesday (I think I said that last Tuesday as well). I need to wrap things up so I can start doing some real work.
