Yesterday, Aug 23, was the fifth anniversary of my dad's death. He was an engineer and a materials expert, fascinated by new gadgets and processes. Somehow it seemed very fitting to me that yesterday was also the day we got 4 coats of the wonderful copper-epoxy bottom paint we've been so excited to try. I don't know whether he would have thought the concept of adding copper powder to epoxy to repel barnacles and other marine growth brilliant or wacky, but I'm sure he would have had an opinion!

They say the best minds have messy desks!
I love this post!
LOL RoseAnn - If a cluttered desk is the sign of cluttered thinking, then what is an empty desk the sign of?
