Boats mass produced, no such thing anymore. :beat

Plenty of "wimen and beers" will be there. Need a cold beer, been a thick walet. Need a hot wimen, move said walet to front pocket. :stupid

Good point, I haven't heard about one new thing this year. Main reason I'm not going. LA used to be the show place for all the new stuff.

No interest. I only shop for things I intend to purchase and I don't need any temptations.

I wanted to pick-up some Boat Bling products, they usally have good show prices.
Need 1 or 2 Danick Hooks.
Need another soft cooler too.
Also need a new toy to tow behind the boat for next July trip.
I just saved a few hundred. :good

Just bought a $300 wakeboard for $35 at Goodwill.....hell, the bindings alone are almost worth $100.

My wife is a great bargain hunter. :good

They opened a Goodwill about 100 feet from our shops front door. As they staffed the place with my ex-employees, I told the Wife not to shop there. Better rethink this I guess. Good deal. :good
