I wanted to redo the OL trailer and have the transom clear coated, but we need a new furnace (knew that) and the 10" of rain in 3 days has caused our pool liner to "implode" (holy poop, surprise). Not that I'm bitter....NOT! So, I'll be lucky to afford a new lanyard.

Sounds like a good time to level the pool and start a garden

Im, ready to have a chain saw party! Then i'm gonna scrap all the new parts. Get rid of the truck. Buy a rubber raft and hire someone to row my a$$ around. Hot dogs and beer are cheaper anyway. Brian
