With all due respect...and I mean...with all due respect.

Well, week 2 of darts is in the books and we didn't fare much better than last week. There were just a couple shimmers of hope, but not much. Now...I love my fellow Thugz and consider it an honor to be a part of their team, but after 2 weeks I'm the only one on the team with a singles victory. Not that its a bad thing, but B2 here we come!

Off the subject of darts and on to the good stuff...the St. Charles Boat Show begins today and runs through Sunday. The Thugz gents are going to be in attendance on Sunday for a few hours of browsing and getting that winter "fix" in. After that we'll have the big one...the St. Louis Boat Show...just a few weeks later.

In the meantime, I've been curbing my boating appetite lately by purchasing some equipment for the boat that I'll be installing before the Tahoe hits the water this spring. I already purchased an amp (more power to the speakers Captain!) and its partially installed. I'm just in need of the power wire and such and that should be arriving in the mail anyday. I also bought an MP3 player the other day. I've got a jack on the boat that it can plug into for our musical enjoyment throughtout the days. My other purchase so far is battery cables. I'm going to be installing a 2nd battery on the boat (to power the amp) so I've got to get all the cables and components for that. Sometime in the near future I'll be getting the battery switch and I'll be able to wire the badboys together.

There's a few other items that will be purchased in the coming months. I still have to get a spare tire, a spare tire mount for the trailer, and the granddaddy of them all...a customer snap-on cover for the boat. I tried the "one size fits all" covers and they just don't cut it. I'd recommend to anyone buying a boat to give up the extra $$$ to have one installed on the boat when you buy it.

That's it for now...
