We put up the new canopy over the canoe yesterday. After the old one this was like a new larger house. Work continues on the outrigger. There were four people tying it together with heavy line. They would thread it through, make their loop, wrap the line around a piece of wood and then lean their weight on it. The end result was a solid knot that could not be budged.

Last week I went in for a physical. Since we've had so many of our Mudcat brothers and sisters turn up sick I thought I would report that I appear to be in good shape for the condition I'm in.
