I was hoping to do some Glassin this weekend but... If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all. I just got word that My Daughter in Edmond, has either a Bulging or Ruptured disc in her neck, and I will be heading down there tomorrow to be with her in the hospital for her MRI and Consultation. I've had 2 lamenectomy's on my Neck so she want's me to be there to hear what the doc has to say. We'll see how it goes and if I get back in town in time I'll be posting some Pics and vids so you can see the Old Man practice what he preaches.

Best to your daughter, it's always good & helpful to have somebody present when dealing with a big medical decision. Looking forward to some instructions on glassing when you get around to it. Drive safe.

Mike,

It was very cool to see the boat splashed and both of you smiling, even if it was a short day. Just like anything it does take some getting used to, and while nicking the boat here and there isnt your first choice, it really wont take much to fix. Taking care of the Mrs., is top priority, and it sounds like she is doing better? We all do better when both are supporting each other and you said it best, 40 years proves it!! Hope things go well for your daughter, back/neck stuff is so painful, family first, then the toys right??
I need to motivate myself on my Lone Star build, havent done much on that boat, but I did rewire the day boat (19 Spectrum with a Merc 90) and we will get out to fish Lake Erie Walleyes soon. Take care Mike!!
Dan

I am totally amazed at the way you guys respond to an Old Okie Fart like me. This forum is the BEST!!! I really am going through a lot right now and this place is helping keeping me sane right now. Just can't seem to bring myself to write it out but maybe later. Keep me in your thoughts and when you hit your knees. I KNOW you will.

The inmates have control of the asylum, glad it helps. Continued good thoughts you & your's way....

Saw a BF clone yesterday, a ways back off the road, & wondered when it last splashed..... Evinrude 75hp+ StarFlite

Drove the Admiral a bit crazy driving @4hrs (into 'new' territory for boats & boat parts) for her bday late/long weekend away.

But I did splash today Inner tube float trip down the Shenendoah River:facepalm:

Again, continue to keep ya'll in our thoughts. Have a better week.

Thank you SIR and my prayers are with you and your family.
