Climbing Everest

If you can name all the gear here, you win a big prize.  This is about 1/8th of the gear we've got.... Seriously.

"So we're getting serious...."that's the quote I heard the other day when all this stuff keeps showing up at our house.  The sherpas of Everest would have a hard time with the load of gear we're accumulating for this "expedition".  We've also become good friends with Craig.  He has a list.  It's posted on the internet.... we've posted our household "treasures" on his list and are starting to sell some of it to fund the expedition.


The prop shaft and stuffing box... and it's really easy to access, really.....

Also got some boat work done the last few weeks.  New starter, alternator, cooling pump for the engine.  Stuffing box (where the prop shaft goes out the boat to the water, with the propellor on the other side) has been repacked to keep the water out.  Lots still to do, but it's getting serious.... look
out Everest, here we come....
