At least My boat left the boathouse a few times this weekend.

Good thing you are not paying Cooter for labor on YOUR oil change...What'd it take like 8 hours? Must be a Fountain thing.

Unlike the “Fountain, New for 2006” no cabin Power/light option or the sun pad re-upholstery program. I’m figuring that getting the material to actually stay on may stop the parachute effect and add a mile an hour or so….

Uh, OK, so we have no idea what you're talking about. But, you haven't been talking much lately anyway.

When are you going up to the Bay Axa? We'll be there Friday morning.

For those of you who witnessed Mich's boathouse antics yesterday, the vet said just add metamucil to his food so he can pass the feathers easier, f'in dog

Not what he told me the weekend before when they were in the boathouse. But you shouldn't be picking on the poor Quebeckers anyways.

The oil change actually took less than an hour, it's all the talking that stretches it out. What can I say, every time I open the hatch on those motors it draws the lookers.

I'm sure Ragged will reply with a crafty response and explain...

You, Bird, are a puzzy! What happened to Wednesday? I took the time off and everything? At least come up Thursday night! We will be there sometime Wednesday!

Glad to hear he will pass the feathers. If it comes out alive Get a video of it!

Great to have you and Kitty up at the River, looking forward to some memorable boating adventures!

Dave

I had Larry the canvas guy do some work on the headrest part of the pad. Didn't like the way it looked so I had him tear it apart to redo it with an xtra thin foam overlay. A few of the glue joints had come loose so he decided to redo all of them. So I'm anal about little chit, may have him overlay the rest of the thing as well, it just looks better to me. Not a BFD . Then the breaker switch for the cabin power took a chit, again not a BFD, power to the cabin is not a performance diminishing deal so if I can't get one in a couple days I promise not to offer it up as an excuse for the "Big Event". Plus my "12 Volt Guy" says it could be bypassed with no issues. BTW, thanks for the help 12V.

We will likely be there on thursday evening. Samantha has friday off, and I hopefuly will need to change props out.

Don't blame the poor dog, he probably thought it would taste just like chicken. Just be sure he is all cleaned out by the weekend, Rip is cleaning up and we don't need Mich trashing it, with all the company comming we'll need the extra space.

I'm going to call ECFC Bob after lunch to see if they have one on the shelf, if not I'll call down to Regie Land and have one sent. I can always tag the wires together if I can't get one by the weekend, or use the flashlight.


Crafty enough response for you???
