lol If so, they screwed up because the trailer saved the jeep from exploring the bottom.

Got one of these Mission mats. Mission Reef Hex 112. These things seem awesome compared to one of those roll up ones. It is bigger than expected.... 11.5'x13'x8'' yikes...
Hopefully it'll fit in the ski locker!

yeah. I ordered the other one. Didn’t expect the box to be so big and was hoping to hide it before the wife saw it. Didn’t work. Was yelled at for ordering this right after a Bote dock (after telling my wife we should save money because she wanted to buy something). Ha. Oops. Why do they saw? Ask forgiveness not permission?

You will be forgiven after it's floating in the water and she realizes how awesome the Mission mats are. It's become our #1 boat accessory for us and guests we take out.

Agreed, we love ours.. Wanted the one with the net in the middle but got voted down. It's heaver then expected, but hey I can stand on the edge of it and not sink. Do yourself a favor and use the electric pump, then pressurize it with the hand one.

I saw this in the parking lot at work. It brought back a lot of good memories. When I was in high school these were all the craze. I never had one in high school but I had a girl friend who did (in a lot better condition of course). If that bench seat could talk.🤮💩🤭

Out in the woods again today tapping trees and fixing downed mainlines, it's been windy. This 1" main was on the ground. A tree had fallen across the line a few feet in back from where I was standing. The lines are built to take a hit with minimal damage resulting. The wire that runs with the 1" tubing, tie wrapped to it every couple of feet, is high tensile wire. The wire tying it back to the tree, the tie back wire, is a soft wire and will break first instead of the tubing stretching or breaking an anchor tree. Not hard to fix with a couple of ratchet straps. Luckily I could reuse the same tie back wire on this one.

Back where it needs to be. The blue 5/16" tubing around the tie back wire keeps it from growing into the tree.

The finishing touches on the new dash bezel and fuel tank selector switch install

Learned again today, must bag and mark all screws upon removal, you'll never remember when its time to reinstall

@Ronnie you live in a whole different world out there. If you came to my area you’d think you went back to the 1800’s. Around here if you see a Tesla it’s like seeing a UFO.

Funny, ya we build with stone and timbers cut from the land around us and hold our houses together with wooden pegs. lol
