Hey Wood, you're supposed to be gettin' rid of headaches now. I'm glad the repairs are done and you can take a deep breath and relax a little. Just wipe the last launch day off the books and pretend it never happened. Everybody deserves a do-over on occasion. The repair looks great.

Well did ya brave the sun and heat Wood? I'd understand if you didn't as I think I commented at least three times about how putting the bimini on the Jetstar was the best thing I'd done. Was a great day for some shade.

Sorry to hear about the headache. 106 will take the fun out of everything. Had a party for one of my grandchildren and it was 106 at
6:00 pm here.
Hope you get next weekend free to launch her.

I suffered from Migraines most of the weekend. Tulsa is under Heat Warnings soooo... needless to say the BF is still on the trailer. Maybe next week. We'll see.

Wow, I'd hate to have to pay the OK gas bill, someone left the oven on broil again this weekend. Currently 100, headed back towards 110 tomorrow.

I do not miss the summers in LV:facepalm:

Good thoughts for reasonable boating weather;)

What iboats would like - two of the UGLY pictures when you got your boat and Two of the PRETTY finished pictures posted here http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=568781&page=2 so it can be included in the gallery. LOL I can't believe I have to chase down vintage/antique fiberglass boats for the gallery. We are looking for completed boats.

Now if you did this before say 10, 20 or a long time ago with another boat and you have a before and after we will also welcome that.

Wood the same thing goes for your upholstery pics in a separate entry.

Thanks

Well, Splash 2 began today @ 2:00 pm. My Son and Grandson that helped me last summer with the wiring etc... came over last night from Edmond, and we got up this morning and prepped the Blue Flamingo for her 2nd Splash. I'm happy to report that it was a FANTASTIC day with NO ISSUES. My son is a GREAT Photographer and Videographer so I hope you enjoy. I know I enjoyed the 3 hours on the lake today more than any I have EVER spent.

Great video Wood, and congrats on the splash.

What I want to know is how in the heck did you keep that hat from blowing off?

Always a problem for me!

QFT for WOG, three generations worth! Love the LoneStar bow pennant. You guys must have gotten lost because I know those rock formations were not in Oklahoma. LOL Good on ya, Wood.
