:laugh: Sam,
No worries about the hijack. We are happy to see activity on dad's thread, and you all are very entertaining. That smiley face was meant to go HERE so apparently I'm having some issues too.
Friderday, we are about an hour south of Jacksonville, as Sam indicated. Mom and I are totally on board with some water outing; especially once we can take the boat (and make use of everyone's boating knowledge - as we have none). We already heart you, by the way.
Mom has been working on getting the trailer ready for the big flip. WE ARE SO EXCITED about the flip. I try to help some but work gets in the way
Anyway, we replaced the bunk carpet and put them back on. Mom went today and got new tires; our neighbor switched out the tires (since an air wrench or some such thing was needed for the lugnuts). He also helped us replace the big roller on the back. We still need to replace the smaller rollers that go up the middle (I'm sorry I don't know the technical term) but mom has already removed the pal nuts from the old ones so we don't think it will be too hard after this. We'll need to ask for expertize on getting them to the right height (when the time comes).
Oh, Sam, mom tried some ferring (SP???) today on the random boat pieces that will go inside (after being painted white) but she found the "premium marine filler" to be not nearly as easy to work with as you made it look. conversely, she says to tell you all that she is REALLY good at sanding if anyone needs any help.
Thanks again to all of you for your unbelievable coolness.
