I'm about to wet myself!!!! Everything is falling into place and the launch is a GO!!!! Houston, We DON'T have a Problem!!!! Camera is charged, Friend in place to take video's and track behind me. Gunna just half throttle for most of the day since this old Girl has NOT been in the water for quite a while. Want to kinda break in the motor again so she gets used to chuggin along. Still got quite a few cosmetics to do but she's good enuf to splash. Once that's done then I'm sure the motivation will kick in again to do the final details. I hope to have something to show you tomorrow nite or Monday morning. Thanks for all the encouraging words.:)

OK, I stayed away as long as I could...only because I did not want to jinx your Splash Day...but I no longer have the willpower to keep myself at bay...

I only wanted to pop in and say that I hope the weather has seen fit to be kind to you, and the splash has gone better than expected...

Hopefully I am posting this while you are out there enjoying the perfect day with an ear to ear grin, that can NOT be wiped off for at least a week...

With that said, I will now quietly sit back and await the long anticipated report of how the day went...:D
