Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Well a most heart felt Thank You to all!

I have had one of the most memorable and enjoyable B-day, thanks to my Wonderful Angel and one True Love...The only half of me that's any good...My Beautiful Wife!

Here's a re-cap of the PG rated version...

The day started out with an awesome breakfast at IHOP...sorry I ate it all before I got any pics...

Even though I was sworn to do ZERO boat related activities, she took me to BassPro and gave me some choices...

I had a tough time deciding between all the tasty possibilities, but after much deliberation, and a couple of "eenie, meenie, minie, moes"...I finally settled on these really neat additions to my boat booty bag...

A two bank, 5/5 on board battery charger...

9 each, #360 tackle storage boxes...

And a few new lures...

Got home, chilled for a few before meeting up with some Family at a newly opened "Flanigan's" for an incredible dinner and drinks...then headed to the In-Laws for dessert...

Earlier, we had gone to the Mega Winn-Dixie super market Bakery and picked out a really yummy cake...again, sorry... GONE! before any photographic proof could be obtained...

After all that, came home fat, satisfied and happy and spent the rest of the evening watching the NNS race I had taped earlier...:car:

Woke up Sunday all fired up to spend a little while playing with some cardboard and came up with...

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Got a mock up of the Console...

And here they are side by side...

That's all I got for now, but stay tuned...things are gonna start shaping up in the next couple of weeks...

Hope everyone has had a great weekend, and may the work week fly by...

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Cardboard is killer stuff. Been working with it myself all day today. I'll post later.

Very nice work on the hull. You know, I think the legacy of this site and all of the boat restorations here is the level of work quality and what it will do to the boats that have been restored.

I'm pretty sure that many of these restored boats, because of the quality level of much of the work here, will be around for over a century from now, maybe more.

Glad to hear it all went well for the B-Day.. Excellent choices for the boat booty bag..
Having all the FREE cardboard sure does make it nice.. Alot eaiser to make mistakes with it..
If you cut it wrong just use that cool looking hot glue gun and glue it back together..
Great looking mockup for the console and tackle storage.. Looking forward to see more
brain storming..
Have a good week..
