  My wife and I just did away with having kids all together so we can avoid these dilemmas 😆

  We did away with having kids so we could afford to have the boat... choices!

  You only know the true meaning of love when you have had children. So how could you love your boat if you never had children. Now a have four girls that have grown up and moved on this is a good thing more time for me and my boat

  The market for pre-owned children is probably a buyer's market right now.  Everyone has been home with the kids during the pandemic.

  Is it going to be like oil, and go into negative territory?

  I love my kid.  Wouldn't take all the money in the world for him.  I also wouldn't give a nickel for another just like him.

  Not to mention there will probably be a glut in the market during the 4th quarter do to people making tricycle motors during the lockdown.

  We have had probably 6" of rain over the last couple of days from the tropical storm  out in the gulf.

  Today I washed her (usual Sunday), replaced interior bulbs with LED’s, fixed dock water line leak (again), put back 1 and tightened up other cockpit under sink mounts, redid the TV antenna connector and now have perfect pictures and more channels. The had lunch and relaxed.

  When we bought the boat the transporter removed the radar and when they got to the harbor it seems they just popped open a tube of silicone and spread it around and plopped the radar back down.
  
  It was bugging me all last season, so today I cleaned it up as best I could and resealed with some 3M 4000UV. Not perfect, but way better.

  Also found a guy on eBay who makes fender covers using OEM Sunbrella fabric for a fraction of what TaylorMade charges. Put those on today...

  When you order just put in the notes what color you want.

  Removed the aging/dated decals and buffed/waxed. Our neighbor friend said, "What, no more Miami Vice?"
