: Thanks Chris for the excellent method, it worked!

Hey, you're welcome, Mike. Glad it was painless for you. Or was it? You didn't really say. Did you get some photos of how you did the fianl installation? I'd like to see your technique.

Sounds like it's rounding into a fine boat. With all the circumstantial distractions in SoCal this year, it's so good to be hearing of someone's dreams turning out for the better.

My sister's neighborhood near your location was evacuated... twice! The fire made a second run at the same group of homes from a different canyon and she had to get her fanny out but quick.

Some friends in Arrowhead, who used to be Forestry firefighters in the Skagit Valley, lost everything. It's just so hard to imagine what that feels like. I was thinking of building the family a new boat when I realized they needed so many more things of greater importance. We're sending them bedding instead.

Glad you're safe and BTW, how's the sleeping in the marina?

Chris
