It just means that while working on the boat I had  to give up playing the
piano with my left hand. 

What really brings  me to a halt is having grandkids here for the weekend.

Using a shop vac as a heater... who would have  thought?

"I gave myself a nasty cut with the band saw and that is  slowing me down" -
followed immediately by "I plugged the holes in the sole  of the boat and
drilled drain holes at the bottom of the keel and then  adjusted the boat
fore and aft so that the bottom of the keel was  horizontal. I then made an
adapter from plumbing bits and pieces and shop  vac parts that I then
inserted into voids on both sides of the keel like a  stethoscope, attached
it to the blower side of the vac..."

Your pace  while working one handed is making me look bad Graham.

For those who are dying to know how the  process of drying out the keel is
going, I thought I would post a couple of  pictures showing what I am 
doing. 

I plugged the holes in the sole of  the boat and drilled drain holes at the
bottom of the keel and then  adjusted the boat fore and aft so that the
bottom of the keel was  horizontal. I then made an adapter from plumbing 
bits
and pieces and shop  vac parts that I then inserted into voids on both sides
of the keel like a  stethoscope, attached it to the blower side of the vac
and turned it on.  The point of the double sided adapter was simply to allow
more air in and  to do both sides at the same time. 

Water started dripping from several  holes immediately
