Funny story time- The Nordic arrived from California on a warm, breezy Thursday night. The moon was high and the stars were bright when the doorbell rang. The young man standing before me only served to block my view of my new obsession. After dispensing the pleasantries and signing the stacks of paperwork, the boat was all mine. I sat in it for what seemed hours, just poking around and seeing how things operate. I was in love,in love with the dirtiest boat I have ever been in. (You guys will learn, I am SUPER OCD about that stuff). The next day would be used for cleaning and registration.

The next morning arrives, as expected. Sleep was something of a loss due to my excitement about finally seeing my girl during the daylight hours. I get up, follow the normal hygiene routine, and quickly dress. I opened the door to the garage, hit the garage door opener and who do I see? My father-in-law. He is already scoping out the boat. I go down, greet him, he hands me a coffee and in all seriousness looks at me and says "Jay, I dont want to overstep my boundries here, but, well, can I help you clean the boat?". I quickly assure him that his help is more than welcome since this is considerably more boat than the Pachanga. We proceed to steam clean, wash, wax, scrub, grease, and spit shine her till she looked brand new. It was a great day!

Moral of the story- A) I have a kick ass father in law and B) definitely helps to have another set of hands there

Mi familia is a the complete opposite, my mother is actually trying to get the funds together to buy my Pachanga and my Titan lol. I was trying to talk her out of it lol.

I have it stored at Highland Lakes marina. I also put in there too, it is one of the last ramps you can launch at on the lake. Pretty nice deal on storage and then I get free launching.

Has the little bit of rain helped at all with the lakes??

Let me know if you want to do a little cruise, always looking for an excuse for a run! Planning on one the weekend after Xmas as long as it isn't too cold.

Yeah, I am totally jealous. Make sure you guys get some video or pics or something of those bad boys

Funny Side note- You may both have Sunsations, but you two definitely reside on opposite ends of the sports car spectrum Let me know when drag strip day is too, I am down for sure.
