Tru,
Hope that your 4 th was great. It is hot here just as they said. I am mostly staying inside now as my hip and leg are a mess. And the heat is bad on my nerves. I don't like taking the nerve pills so I either stay out of the heat or take them by the handfull.
As for the 5 foot deck on the Cobra. Maybe bury it in the front yard and use it as a flower bed. It costs around $35K just to get a dam permit to put a house boat on the lake here. I heard a guy at the hardware store yesterday that was really unhappy. He works for oe of the marinas and feels they are getting cheated as they rent their larger boats for just $7,500 a week and the others are getting $10 to $17K per week for theirs.
