Friday Funny 05-01/2020 (Gus Gets a Snootful)

Gus wisdom.

During this process of creating the new bimini, we have discovered that Gus likes new plastic/vinyl. See that black strip he is sitting on, it's a chafe guard material called "Shelter-Rite" that we purchased through Sailrite. It's used in areas that may receive a high amount of rubbing by something else, and it protects the Sunbrella material from that chafe. It will be sewn onto the leading edge of both the dodger, and bimini.

I unrolled it out on the pilothouse floor to measure and cut. 

sniff sniff

hmmmm

I love it!

Gus rolled in it from one side to the other, so it was covered in hair, and he was purring so much, that he drooled kitty spit all over it. Ugh. Bill called him a huffer from the pungent plastic smell that Gus seemed to love.

I put a scrap piece on the settee, and Gus was so worn out, he curled up there, and went right to sleep.

Don't disturb me.

This became his favorite place to sleep.

He is so enamored of this stuff that he can't help but assist everytime I work with the same roll of material...

Gus was much chagrinned when I had to roll up the parts I cut out to move to the sewing station:

However the plastic smell went away, and the vinyl lost it glamor. Gus is back to normal, off of his "high". 

As always, we enjoy hearing from you, either here in comments or on our Facebook Denali Rose Sailboat page.
