: Nice drawings. Is that Google Sketchup?

No, I have to try that sometime, though.

I've been trying to teach myself Adobe Illustrator. After many years I can finally draw a few curves, straight lines, long boxes, and then color inside the lines. :)

Looking back at the files I've saved over 2010 I find I haven't been using this program for a while. Time to scrape the rust off.

For the benefit of art critics: Here is a plan I dredged up from the older files of unfinished ideas. It is for holding a pad of a double layer of carpet on a car's roof with overlapping straps that hold the pad to both the car and the boat. Straps also hold in some plywood wedges to brace the boat so it doesn't rock side to side. It should be an interesting saddle for the cartop.
