Never gave much thought to how peaceful life can be........ 
Four Daughters, Four sons-in-law, and Seven Grandchildren later .......
hock: :o :? 
Still, it was good to have them all in one place for a few short days. Nerves are almost settled enough now, to get back to modelbuilding
Lines drawing for the "Tern" are done, now it's time to begin lofting the frames. Because this will be a waterline model, that chore will be greatly simplified. Cutting, shaping, and laying in the deck beams will be no different, and is always a "finicky bit" to get done properly. The hull planking, and the deck are much easier to do, than the framing.
Trainfest is in November, not a whole lot of time to get things done. I'll be happy to reach the point where all the standing rigging is in place. ( the running rigging is a whole other issue ).
"Another day older and deeper in - - -" :o unfinished projects.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
