Progress Sans Pics

No pics today, but we did accomplish the following:

  1. On the platform, cut through the biscuits used in the seams between the sheets.  The seams weren't flush owing to either variation in the plywood or variation in the cutting of the biscuit slots.  By sawing through the biscuits we have allowed the seams to normalize to the extent they will.
  2. Trim the rear of the platform plywood to match the 2x6 sides.
  3. Drill the oak components of the galley partition.  These will be assembled in place.
  4. Trim the rear reflex fill-in on the port side.
The only momentous part of today is that at approximately 5:15 AM I turned 63.  

Tomorrow holds promise. 

Oh, and my doctor gave me a physical and pronounced that there are no current conditions to suggest a short(er) life.  I'm reminded of a New Yorker cartoon showing the very elderly gentleman, looking very decrepit with skin hanging from his bent-over bones, sitting on the doctor's examining table.  The caption has the doctor saying, approximately, "Well, Fred, remember all those healthy things you did earlier in life to add years to your existence?  Well, welcome to those years."
