Post Cutting it close
I now feel sympathy for anyone who is trying to get finishing touches on their rig by the weekend.

Right now I have a boat with an incomplete transom in the shop, a motor sitting in the crate at a dealer, and a piece of 1 3/4 by 4 tubing somewhere between Ft. Worth and Tyler.

The only thing I have ready for Caddo is my ice chest.
