hay guys and gals

well the other day the wife told me to go check out Joe Ann fabric's , and i remember some one else talking on here how they got a coupon for there and they got a great price !! well i stopped after work and sure enough 12.99 a yard and they had my red and the white !! but they didnt have any coupons so i came home and signed up for there email and sure enough they sent me a coupon for 40 % off on one thing !! then the wife found me another one for 40 % off !!! so tomorrow I will stop and pick up my VINYL !!! YEE HAAA lol she gave me a price of 207.00 for 8 yards of both white and red , and with the 40 % off it should bee 125.00 !!! too cool !!

The guy on ebay wrote me back and said it was more candy red , so that one wouldnt work any way !!! his price was 167.00 !! John

Boy what a pain i went threw to get it !!! went to the Joe-anns close to the house , well she got to measureing and she only had 6.5 yards of both, I need 8 , she looked on her puter and said they had 9 of the red at the other store and only 4 of the white there , so on the way there called home and got my biggest dimention with the white, thinking I could get that there and come back and get the rest !!! well got there and they didnt even have a yard of the red !! @$$%%$##$%$%%^%% but they had enought of the white , but it was 16.99 and half off, so it was 9 bucks more then the 12.99 and 40 % off so i got the 8 yards of that 72.00 bucks, ok I thought i would go back to the other store and just get the 6.5 of the red and get the rest in two weeks its going to take them to get some more in !!!! well I was on the highway and they had it closed down a 1/2 mile before I needed to get off, so 40 mins later I was back at the other store and the same lady seen me and and said she found some more of the red . so I got the 8 yards of the red for 63.00 bucks !!!!it is spralding vinyl

Re: pic of work so far

OK guys lets try this AGAIN , hit spell checker and lost this twice , once last night and then just now !!!RTERTR#$$#$%$%,

Mike its the stuff from Joe Ann's , it the high density stuff, its 2 inch, I am thinking i should have went with the 3 inch Theo !!

OK , well yesterday, Jeff was here and he said he would wire the new light ,I just wanted to hook up the new lights to the old harness and save the new one for after i paint the trailer !! so no problem there he got that done and then I needed some safety chains put on, while he was doing that he he noticed that the plug was pulled right out from the wires !!!#$%$#$% the kid pulled it instead of grading the hitch he pulled the wires to move it while he was cutting the grass !!!!! kids got to love then ???? lol

So told Jeff just to throw the new harness in, well after he got that done , I was working on the boat , we pulled the truck up and tried them , well we turned on the blinker on and they both would blink , turned the lights on and we got nothing ??????? well we checked the connections and they were all fine , so we disconnected it all and tried one wire at a time !! same then tried mixing and matching wires , same , I was really having fun by then , I was thinking it had to be in the plug , so we cut the new one off and went with the old one and still the same , well we were going to give up for the night and Jeff said lets try it right at the plug , so we took off the light and wired it right there , and what do you know , it worked just fine !!!!! its in the frecken new wire harness !!!@#$#%#$%$#%#$ so that is going back today and getting a new one !!!!!

well while Jeff was doing that i was working on the boat , I got the battery boards glassed in and got the speedo tube mounted and sealed , and the depth finder also mounted , I sealed it with pl premium, they will never come off again !!!

Ohh I got in trouble , forgot we had a couple open houses to go to today , so called Uncle Ed yesterday and asked if we could move it to Monday for the seats , and of coarse he not going to be home Monday, so Tuesday is the seats now !!$#%$%#$ lol

Ok guys wish me luck today !!! lol John
