Finally made it!
After being on my littoral deathbed one thing that kept me going was getting back to the lake! Well we made it down on Saturday! Lots of leaves and a water leak in my big camper kept me from uncovering THE FLOATER though.
Good news is the PS cover made it through the winter and rainy spring without pooling one bit! Next weekend we get her ready to hit the lake!

Re: Finally made it!
Crap Craig, I had no idea you were under the weather? Sorry to hear it and feel bad that I didn't know! Hope you are doing better. I don't think it was the thought of boating that brought you around. I think it was BMR's birthday wish in No Holds Barred that popped your ass out of bed. Made something pop on me, anyway!
If you need anything Denise and I can help with, YELL!!! Your thoughts helped us out a through the years.
Get well and GET WET!!!

Thanks Bryan! It was rough on her for sure. only missed 2 days visiting me but that is because she got shingles the last week I was in there! Appreciate the thoughts. You need to bring down the new toon so we can race!

Glad you are getting better Craig. Good to get out and get in the water as well.

Re: Finally made it!
Made it down again just me and the Admiral, the cover was still fine, once it was off the seats looked great as well. Only one seat corner had a stain and it came off fine. THE FLOATER started on 3rd turn of the key on a fresh battery! Since I still have issues with my left arm from the stroke the Admiral helped me with opening her up. After taking off the cover and cleaning all the seats while I jacked with stereo not working, she said "after 8 years this is the first time I have ever helped with the boat I like it! and the kids can start doing grocery's and trailer stuff now!" BTW Dual stereos have 2 fuses one inline and one by wiring plug in the back (the bad one).
All and all a successful day of dry boating!
Ready for next weekend!
