The biggest project we have this winter is finding time to get back to Florida so we can use the boat. Why does work always have to get in the way?

The first Savage made is getting new vinyl and foam on the walls in the cabin and Scorpion full roller rockers. (should have done these when I did my engines 2 years ago). Planning on upgrading gauges and switches next year. That is if a new to me 37 doesn't find me first. I WILL be seriously looking next summer (2017) after selling my other home.

Good thread Mike, I always pay attention to these especially in the AT thread.

Nah...we don't cryo any of our stuff. Most of the tools we manufacture are sintered bonded tools as opposed to a solid cutter.

I'm sure we are going to really miss it but no we won't be there this year. I think we have been there 5 or 6 yrs in a row but it's time for something different. I believe we will be at the Lanier run and maybe Destin.
