Hope all went well w/ your trip to the doctor & Mother Nature gives you some good clear weather soon!

Plant a tree, or something, to maybe try & garner some favorable conditions from her:eek:

Be well, be safe & make sure the BF is strapped down to her trailer. Been awhile since I was anywhere near a tornado. Don't miss it, hope they miss more then they don't.

Hey Wood , you may have stated back earlier on your thread but I was wondering how many yards of vinyl you used on the BF's seats? Been scratching my head on quantity for my seats..
Thanks and I hope all your tests come back ok with the doctor!
S.P.

I measured the seats as best I could and then added 10 % for waste and screw ups. For my Captains chairs (3) I got 5 yds of blue and 3yds of white. For the Bench seat I got 3 of blue and 4 of white. It's 50" wide.

Hello Wood. Your state made the news around here. Man you guys are getting hit hard with the storms and all. Tornados and large hail. I'd don't blame you at all for staying ashore. The wait will make the splash much more enjoyable. And the feeling of accomplishment will be what words can not explain.

Well, Skiatook, the town just 5 miles north east of my launch ramp, had their little airport get torn up by a small tornado Sunday morning. This weekend was exciting to say the least. Five people lost their lives in Western Ok. Very Sad!!! Tuesday is supposed to be a really nice day but... work scheduled is heavy so don't think I can take off. Maybe the weather will be good on Saturday or Sunday. I just have to be patient and that has never been one of my best attributes. Guess I'll focus on the small details and get them all taken care of. Thanks for everyones input. Appreciate it!!!

You and I are birds of a feather on that one! Waiting is tough, especially after all the work you've put in. Hope you can get a break soon!

Many thoughts and prayers have been sent your way this weekend Wood! Glad to hear you are ok and hopefully all of yours made it through good as well.
