The BALOO training is a class for cub scout leaders specificly for camp outs.  It is supposed to make more capable of handleing (in m case) 9 young boys on an overnight campout.  I am not sure what all I will learn, but I am looking ofrward to it.  These kind of classes do help out when dealing with kids at the boat as well as my den of little deamons..... I mean angles...... :angel:

Sorry I couldn't show. Had to go to Texas. Between this racing and the female going psycho it's hard to get anything done much less get out to the boat. Wow, I sound like I am 40. lol

So ya, what all got done?

It was a slow day.  My wife and I got the 40mm and railing painted after the damage.

We did a little bit of weeding around the SHARK Memorial.

Mainly we worked in the AFT Battery.  Got 3 wheel barrow loads of junk thrown away, then tried to segregate it.  We piled most of the junk near the ladder and piled all the goodies to look at along the port side.  Most of what is left is the old duct work Vaughn removed when he put in the A/C unit.  It's all junk, but more than my wife and I could man-handle up out of the battery...up the crew's mess hatch and then over to the dumpster.

Rick said he's got some younger kids coming that can get some of that.

No deck pulled.  I figured "why should I have all the fun"   :-\

Roger that.  It sounds like it's a good start on the junk heap down there.  We reinstalled the ladder for the gun access hatch in the con during our last event.  So, that's one less item getting in the way in the Aft Battery.  We also replaced some bolts on the crew's mess ladder that were too long or missing all together.  Tim Katzung graciously donated the hardware for the ladders.

This is kind of off topic, but last time i was in the after battery, I noticed that there were quite abit of giant copper strip that ran into the battery room that had been cut off and thrown on the floor. Since they cannot be re-attached, and copper is worht so much right now, I though it might be a good way to help raise some money for the Batfish would be to sell the copper wiring, just an idea.

Before we sell the wire, let's see if some of the reenactors need it for their battery project.  They plan on making mock batteries in the forward battery hold.

Back to the deck subject, with the 2 to 7 inches of rain on its way this weekend from Ike, I'm going to decline coming down to the boat to work on Saturday.  My next attempt will be early Oct. or the first day of our boat work week, the 19th.
