One More

Friday finally came and once again  I managed to get some work done on the dory. Pounded little strands of loose cotton yarn into the seams and cracks on the dory's bottom planks. It took all afternoon, I was surprised. But it is all in there now and then some more primer on top of it. In the sun. Nice day.
Next time the plan is to put some Interlux Brown30 Seam Compound on top to fill  up the seams, then guess what more primer on that, then maybe bottom paint.
Tomorrow, though, is a trip to Salem to pick cherries again with Brother Bob Bailey. Me and Charlotte went last week but the cherries we found weren't up to my amazingly high standards for size of fruit and flavor. With the cool weather this spring the cherries did not mature as fast as usually, so everything is a week or 10 days behind. Three years ago Bob took me to a great orchard that had beautiful big fat fruit very late in the4 year, last year we effed around and dint get there until too late. This orchard is on the west shore of the river down there north of town near the Wheatland Ferry we will be going back there tomorrow.
I'm going down on the Greyhound but I have to complain about the southbound schedule there's a bus at 6:30 AM and then none until after noon. Why isnt there a bus when normal humans can go and get something done during the morning?
One more would be great.
