journal entry for monday

today was just an average day for me on

essay basic

woke up early like i normally do so i

could work on my digital drawings

[Music]

then i went up to the salon for my usual

breakfast

four pieces of bacon egg over easy and

toast

then i always chase that down with a

small bowl of cereal

a girl's got to eat it's a school day so

i spent the next four hours hitting the

books

and clark expeditions after that after

they bought it they

actually decided to start exploring yep

with both my teachers define the

variable when you translate a verbal

description into an equation

okay so let's take two x plus six

equals nine my parents started working

on the boat

so i spent some quality time with

compass

we played compass

and we walked

[Music]

i came back to hang out with my cousins

on facetime for a bit we're learning a

new language on duolingo

yeah i got all the way to one i think

checkpoint the first checkpoint

so i got up to languages and colors

that's cool

dang it was really nice hanging out with

my cousins on facetime

besides my parents sounded really busy

on the hardtop project

project is a lay down fabric that will

tab to the soffit

and continue out over the bull-nosed

edge detail

we've been using a 10-ounce fabric for

this project so far

but are transitioning to a 7-ounce cloth

for the final laminations

it's a bit harder to work with because

it tends to bunch up and wrinkle

but has a much finer weave so the final

product will need

less sanding and less fairing

because of the size of this project it's

much easier to work in teams

lynn would wet out the field and i

follow behind

working the fabric to saturate and lay

it down

when it comes to the corners you need to

even take more time

tugging and pulling on the cloth to

learn how the fabric wants to react and

contour to the profile

and i'm not going to lie in the

beginning my corners both

inside and outside were awful and with

time have become

much more controllable this is why i

like to use

lighter fabrics i've learned that by

using 7 to 10 ounce cloth

it'll take you much more time and many

more layers

but it allows you to achieve a nice

finish on a somewhat complex substrate

takes time and incredible patience but

every day

our project gets a little closer it's

really beginning to take shape

journal entry for tuesday today was a

little different

i got up an hour earlier than my usual

time and had to hurry up with breakfast

because we had to hit the road before

traffic got bad

it's been over a year since we left so

being in a car feels weird

big day today yeah i'm gonna get braces

i'm kind of excited but i'm a little

nervous too

yep i got braces today so that smile's

gonna change a little bit

yep yeah i can't wait this is gonna be

so

awesome we'll stop for popcorn on the

way home

we were stuck in traffic but made it

just in time for my appointment

because of copic 19 my parents had to

wait in the lobby

but that's okay because i knew it was

going to happen even though it was a

little different

dr payne follows our channel so he

understands our schedule and lifestyle

and was able to customize my treatment

to fit our needs and timeline

you only got about two or three months

ideally right

before you go down the road if it goes

fast then we'll try and get her done

in that window the position of the

bracket on the two

so we have a kind of a sight line about

where we want that to be when we're done

right and the brackets are set in there

so once it gets down to level

it's leveling vertically and then

horizontally

the brackets are also kind of adjusting

to that wire and then we change the

wider

dimension right it gets bigger right so

the thicker the gauge the harder is

pulled

yes exactly we move up through the

series of wires

until the teeth are straight okay

interesting all right all right jane's

ready for me okay

okay my dad really enjoyed looking at my

scans

and talking about them with dr payne

so it's kind of like a ct scan radical

but it's

the design of the how the image is taken

is with this cone

beam type rather than slicing it like it

it still slices it but the way that it

is taken

the the type of uh of uh

radiation beam is different right uh and

it's

it's quite a low dose but you can see

that he makes a huge amount of detail in

there yeah

overall the visit lasted about an hour

and i was anxious to get back to the

boat

because my mouth was starting to hurt

actually it hurts a lot

so you know half an hour you can pop

those out of there

and that should be all you have to do

with that okay cool all right any other

questions nope

okay you're all set thank you so much

thank you

all right emma how do you feel

they're on i know it hurts

you want to give a big smile to kind of

show your new hardware

i know you're being such a trooper it is

gonna feel weird for the next few days

i'm sure

so how about we just take it easy today

maybe skip some school subjects

hey now hang out i'll mix i'll make you

some soft foods so

you don't have to deal with uh anything

hard because i have a feeling you're not

gonna wanna

bite down on anything okay let's get

this girl back

good job man

man as soon as we returned

i went up to take it easy and my dad got

to work

i wonder what my mom's gonna make

it's a short work day today but i'm

really anxious to see how our

laminations turned out

i first trimmed the edges with a fresh

razor

it goes pretty fast but i had 46 lineal

feet to remove

before hand sanding the perimeter

cutting the cured fabric

it always leaves a sharp edge so sanding

is

totally necessary i just ease the edge

so it's nice and smooth to the touch

after the hard top edge was finished we

directed our attention to the flat

surfaces and the soffit areas just work

that corner

so it's a nice little thingy

looking good just a little bit of

bearing in the corner

all together we spent about two hours

hand sanding all of the new fabric we

had just laid down

this is a very detailed process that

always leaves your fingertips

just a bit sore our goal is to

smooth out the surface so we could fare

all the seams of the seven ounce cloth

that we had just laid

with not much day left lynn mixed up a

batch of quick fair epoxy filler

and i fared out all the areas we had

just sanded

i use my usual gift card spreader and do

my best to smooth out a nice thin layer

of fairing compound we're getting

close to finishing the work on this face

so this is where i start really looking

at the smallest of imperfections

and everything is looking good so we

tent things up

and call it for the night

journal entry for wednesday i woke up

today and my mouth felt

so much better so i went back to normal

food for breakfast

not that i'm complaining because my mom

made me a special soft meal for dinner

last night

loaded mashed potatoes all right guys

dig in

my kind of meal

[Laughter]

it was so good after breakfast i

finished up my schoolwork as fast as i

could

because today is also music and art

i practice my violin

[Music]

and my favorite slip and paint with my

mom

mine doesn't look as vibrant as yours

mine looks depressing i love yours it

makes me want to cry

you suck

afterward we made an infomercial to

promote a product in our store

we had so much fun making it my stomach

hurts from laughing so hard

feeling bored tired of the monotony

of boat projects does your spouse

pay more attention to his epoxy work

than you

no matter what you do he just doesn't

notice

well do i have a solution for you

guaranteed to be fun guaranteed to get

you through the job

and guaranteed to make everything around

you seem funny

that's right it's thickened epoxy shot

glasses by onboard lifestyle

it's that easy while

he is totally into his project and not

you

simply pour a shot of your favorite

tequila and

every time he mutters the word pick an

epoxy

take a shot okay i have my thickened

epoxy

stick of foxy

it's so easy and so fun

and just kind of feel my seams now you

know this thickened epoxy

journal entry for thursday i woke up

today to a beautiful sunrise

and for the first time in a while no fog

my mom and dad were anxious to get

started on the hardtop so they got

straight to work

it was real nice getting such an early

start today it felt

warm and dry like a spring

morning while i prepped the surface for

today's project

lynn laid out the fabric and cut them to

manageable panels

she had to cut seven pieces so she laid

out a straight edge to make her cuts

straight and even with all the cloth

ready

she started mixing the epoxy it's a bit

warmer today

so we'll be trying to pick up the pace

to get all the fabric down before the

epoxy cures

we work as a team with lynn mixing epoxy

and i'm

applying the material and piece by piece

we work our way around the soffit

this is an exciting day because this is

the last layer to apply on

this side of the hard top it was taking

a bit

longer to apply because i was using that

seven ounce cloth

and it takes more work to get it to lay

down flat

with the epoxy curing fast i had to

bounce around and trim the tails in

areas

and then lay more fabric down

so

it was nice to apply epoxy on a warm day

but it sure

keeps you moving just as i was trimming

the last few pieces

i could smell the epoxy firing off it

took about three and a half hours

to get all of this phase down but i'm

very happy with the results

today went by so fast but i did get all

my schoolwork done

i have to go now because i have to help

my parents with our outro for our video
