For the boats maybe but what about the livers?! The Girl's Gone Wild bus is already in town and should be a crazy time. Not sure if I'll be in town and able to take the day off but if I'm here you can bet I'll be at Jobbie! (as a boatwhore of course...)

Im heading to home depot right now for material to make the king of all beer bongs. 10' of 1.25" clear tubing, a valve and a funnel big enough to hold a 6 pack.

you got the color right on, are you building that?
We are still not boating, not even sure we will be ready this weekend. Among other things Ian bought larger exhausts this year and when he installed them tonight there was a slight gap in gaskets on the trim rings, so he has to call Trick in the morning, to see what our options are. We can't take it out like that and have it leak. Plus there are still a lot more projects left. I think he has taken every single piece off the engine, and bought new or checked it out before putting it back on. I am not kidding when I say he is in the boat working at least 45 hrs a week and that is after working 55 hours at GM
To fill my time I have turned into a Landscape fanatic. I just finished moving a 30 ft woodpile and increasing our gardens by about 45' Our neigbors can't believe that we can not stop working, they think we are sick
Several passed by on their way to a party last Friday, Ian was in the bilge covered in fiberglass from fixing the transom and I was standing in the bed of the truck unloading 2 yards of mulch. Ok thanks for letting me rant

No, Seaquest kid's http://www.seaquestkids.org/ were in St.Clair last year, they are a great bunch of people that travel to many race sites and basically provide all the directions, materials, wood, hammers, nails, 3M 5200 screws, paint etc etc, to build these skiffs, then they raced them on the Pine River. It was a great experience for my 7 yr old daughter, now I'm not so nervous when I see her with tools in her hands.
She'll have her boat in St.Clair this year to defend the Konrad title, she's been busy over the winter blueprinting the bottom and coating it with speed wax.
