: 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.

Hi paul. Do the straps go right around the car as well? If so won't the rear ones get burned on the exhaust!!
