Good morning, GoGo. It's 73 in Louisville and only going to 81. Thunderstorms are due all day long with a big front over around St. Louis due here sometime late this afternoon. Could have some flash flooding in low areas. Dean, I'm amazed at the temps you're having this time of year. A 40-degree swing from low to high seems strange to us in the East, but apparently is the norm out your way.
My Monday was a quiet one. My employer, Humana, has encouraged work-at-home to the point where there are usually only 2-3 people on my team in the office on any given day. Yesterday there were 2 of us, probably the same today. I miss the interaction, but it does allow you to concentrate on something and bear down without interruptions.
Consulted with Shane G last night a bit. He diagnosed some failed welds I found while waxing my metal in the boat. Turns out water intrusion/freezing was the culprit. Now to find a good welder that can fix it in the boat without burning it up.

My normal guy can't do it...his welder is hard-wired in one corner of the building that I can't get my boat anywhere close to. And the part is glued onto the floor so I can't take it off.

Charlie, I know you and Shane discussed welding, but did you happen to consider JB Weld for this repair? A lot of boat parts like that are what I call pot metal and can hardly be welded anyway. If the main goal is making it look better and keeping water out of the crack, I'd consider the JB Weld. Just sayin'.
Y'all have a good'n and be safe out there.
