: I nominate Rehd to do the R2K3 floatbag construction demo :D Do I
: hear a second?

Nomination!!!

But, Chip....... by sheer volume of votes, I guess I've been voted out.... :)
Whew!!

Probably the two best reasons I wouldn't be a good choice.... :

1. I've yet to make a float-bag, ( although, after these 3 boats and the possible two others I may have lined up, I would be fairly proficient by R2K3 )

2. I put all my efforts into picking, swapping, trading and finagling the two weeks vacation around the show-weekend this year. However, I have to pick my vacations at the end of November, the year before and I guessed that after a few years of having the show on the 3rd weekend, I would give that my best effort. I got them both.... at quite a cost of time and favors... ( 20 years in and I'm 4th or 5th from the bottom of the seniority list )
My vacation now starts the day the show will be over ( the revised dates ).

I could have voted, when Joe gave the option, but since He's the Man and the show wouldn't be the same without him, and he mentioned that the 3rd weekend wouldn't work for him, there wasn't much point and so I abstained.

I have already gotten a special invitation from Mihke Hanks to try and make it up to SSTIKS instead, but again, there's no vacation time available in that time frame. :( So, again, I will have to watch from the sideline as all the new adventures and demos take place and hope for a good crop of pictures soon afterward.

It's O.K., as I have probably gotten a couple more boats to build for friends and that time will not go to waste. And I should be an expert on the subject by R2K4. :) Plus, I will probably be building a trailer to haul all the boats I'm planning up there... :D

I do appreciate the honorable mention and confidence that I could actually pull it off.. We'll see... :)

Thanks Again Chip
