Good soggy morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 52.9, solid overcast with scattered showers. Wind is only at 1-2 mph right now, but was blowing at 20 mph earlier.

Hey Seabiscuit- you must live in the "wrong" part of Oregon. Sunny here in McMinnville . My Ex was making a clunking noise all the way home from work in Salem last night and everything sounds worse when it's dark and raining. Dry enough today to get under my truck and check all the important stuff: Wheel bearings, sway bar links, shock mounts, etc. I can only hope the noise was from my hitch rattling.

Yes, a top is mandatory for us as well. I'm not sure how those guys in open boats do it! Nice to sit inside all nice and cozy and then no one wants to go out and grab the rod that has a bite.

On a previous boat we used it as our RV. It was a 3/4 hard top. A few years ago we did a wet and soggly trip on the Rogue. I think it rain 4 in that weekend but at least we had a dry place to sleep and drive in. Worked well and had plans to do a camper top for the rest. That would have been nice but ended up selling it.

Look what I found for $150. It may need the center tubes rewelded if I can’t bend them back enough.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 45.2, dry, but overcast. Radar looks like there might be some rain on the horizon if it doesn't go around us.

It had dried up and moved into broken overcast by noon or so. Broken overcast and some sunshine by the time we left for the Community Center in McMinnville for the YCSA membership renewal event.

Hitch rattle removal tool.......
