So, with the display racks retro fitted we went out to the old reliable GO to set up the display for what we hope will be close to the last layout. Lots of people came by to visit so, it took longer than expected but it was fun!

Got the rack retro fit done today so we can set up and label up our last version of the paracord display. from this point forward everything will be on the truck period. Soldier A also got a few of the new bottle lanyards done as well. Two new sizes so the larger can be used on bigger bottles.


See everyone at the Grocery Outlet in Bonney Lake Tomorrow!

So, stepping back from the Ark completion again, we worked on the final retrofit of the paracord display racks. We have been asked not to give up on the paracord. So, we won't! That being said however, it needs to get much simpler as far as set up and breakdown are concerned. Ran out of paint for the first section back on it tomorrow.

Sometimes you just need to take a step back from chasing the beast and do a good old home town weekend event. That is exactly what this weekend turned out to be.

As everyone knows Saturday was all about setup, nothing really thrilling. Saturday was a nice warmup for today.

We got on location extra early, being that it wasn't that far from our AO. An awesome neighbor and growing friend was coming up to watch the parade and hang out for a bit. He had no idea what he was going to end up getting into, and he loved it at the end of the day!

We all played all day long! Gotta say kids can really wear you out! 

Reconnected with a lot of old pals not to mention the epic tank wars in the process!

Got up to Black Diamond a bit early today and glad we did. The field was mostly empty and that always makes putting Tiffany in place much easier. Once the Dragon Wagon Too trailer was dropped and Tiff parked we set up the tents for the tank battlefield and bumper cars.

 

After everything was set in place it was time to go back to the motor pool for chow and some r&r.

Well, as fate would have it, today did not go well. We got a real late start due to other scheduling and the epoxy flashed faster than we could work it, mainly because of the heat, and we lost the entire section we were trying to lay on. No photos... Soldier A was pissed.

All we could do is roll on a few new coats of epoxy and get ready for touch up paint. Gotta get her dolled up for the Labor Day events!

For the last two days Soldier A has been sanding the patio cover over

hang to put the last 2 coats of fiberglass on so we can install the DOT lights. It's amazing how hard the resin gets after it has had a year to fully cure out! Two days for half of it.

But one section at a time, right???
