Put me down for first dibbs on the pretty blue 2001 Ski

Chris & Zoe - I think you have the makings of a 'made for the internet' movie. I hope to get to see your family sometime this summer.

Mojo - sounds like the Sandstrom's have their eye on something they can restore in the next few years. I'm sure Paul will be updating us on his new ventures.

Way cool Chris, thanks for sharing. Awesome addition to the Mars' fleet..

So what is Paul and Jen replacing this beauty with?

I would enjoy that. The furthest I typically get into Iowa is to lake Okaboji ( down in mid august this year), but I could make an exception. If you are back up here be sure to let me know.

What a great story. I really was moved.

Dave, I was thinking the same thing! Calendar pic for sure!

Gary, like Joe said....You ask Zoe! She's extremely excited to get it to a reunion.

Adam, your performance at the Steeler Den canceled out any preconceived notions.

Pete, the Continental is coming along quite nicely just taking a bit more time than expected. We were hoping to have it back for the summer but its looking like late fall would be more realistic. I'll shoot you a PM with the details.

Chris, I hate to admit I was so moved your by post, but what a great love story, A pair destined to be together, kept apart by circumstances and then finally reuniting to spend their lives together. Don't get me wrong, yours and Zoe's story is nice too, but you and the '88, that is magic. Congratulations. Had I known you were in town I would have offered to buy you a Minneapolis Beer.

its too bad Zoe hates me so much, she's turning out to be more and more of a keeper with every story

Cool story. A match made in heaven, all the way around.

I have a green 89 SN and green 78 Tique pair in my garage. I have a long way to go to get the SN to be a pretty as your 88, though my Tique looks OK.

sounds like you better ask Zoe!

Clearly that's a boat that just arrived at its forever home because there's no way Maddox will be letting that boat go.

It's interesting the amount of sentimental weight an object can hold in peoples minds.

one of my favorite stories ever on here .

Wow. That's a great story! You are doing a great job taking care of that girl, keep it up! Actually I meant Zoe, but you doing well with the boat too!!
