Thanks man. I'm very thankful that it wasn't worse and honestly the turn around time wasn't awful. The time also worked out, since I'm working from home right now.

Dude I'm not sure. I just put a deposit on a new Sea Doo (325 hp from factory!). So that will be my next big purchase.
Still waiting on the VA to pay me so that has put a damper on my funny money purchases but probably Icon Stage 3 is the next big one for the truck.

So will the new Sea Doo be outfitted for fishing? When does the season end where you're at?
Up here there's maybe another month and a half at best for fun on the water and for motorcycle riding.... Boo....
Any trips planned to have some fun with the truck and Sea Doo?

I passed on the fish pro model (if they made a 230hp or a 300hp model I'd consider it) but I also ordered the larger fishing cooler with mounts for poles, gaffs and nets for the ski I currently have. Season is mostly year round here, I mean even if it becomes long sleeve-T weather I think I'll manage. Yeah my step dad was saying about the same. Hes taking his boat out the second week of October, even with some of the nice days during that period he doesn't want to risk a freeze delaying him or damaging his boat.
I'm very busy right now, and its far far too hot to be out too much but I'm looking at a 4 day Ocala trip in October. Buddy was talking about meeting up there. Bring some dirtbikes and fishing poles. I may also be doing another cross country trip here soon but I shouldn't get too ahead of myself.
Also my buddy was saying that we could jet ski to the Bahamas from Miami... at first I laughed it off then I realized I did like 77 miles in the Chesapeake bay without issue, and Miami to Bahamas is like 60.

A jet Ski trip to the bahamas would be awesome!
Too hot..... man I wish that was a problem up here.... another cloudy / rainy 59 degree day here...

97 feels like satan's anus.... nvm the "real feel" is 107. This weekend its only supposed to get hotter, and with humity shooting up and chance of raining chilling at 80 percent.
Yeah I think we'd have to have a bit more coordination that "hey lets go" and neither of our skis has a GPS, but we are seriously talking about it. Obviously dry bag for clothes and all that, plus extra gas and emergency gear. We think it would take us about 3 hours at 30 mph (to keep off boost and save mpg) accounting for set and drift.

Are you saying satan has a hot bottom? You cheeky monkey!

Also, replaced my cracked tailgate plastic, cleaned behind the plastic, greased the latch mechanism and added a bedrug onto the tailgate.

Added some LED strips to the awning.

Where did you get those? And do they have amber? I need some for my awnings as well.
