1. Saunter over to the vehicle parked down the street from your house and gently rap on the passenger window- dismissing from your mind whatever unsavory images that you see. As the window comes down, ask the wife if she has any nail polish in her purse for a quick fix-up (it is winter after all and we're talkin bout the transom on your duck boat here!)
and/or...
2. Invite the wife's "Special Friend" over to the transom for an evaluation either prior to or after the nail polish touch-up. The choice is, quite naturally, yours to make TreeDoc but I would personally opt to the consultation before because "Special Friend" would be treated to an up close and personal evaluation of my props wheel cup pitch immediately following. Mmmm. Does cavitation occur through hardened bone, cartilidge, and grey matter???
