Got a laugh out of your pic. That trim is a big rust magnet. My 85 lets more rain then it keeps out. I will be doing the same soon.

Ray! getting into the addiction! get some.... BUT, right now the tuna are biting, so leave the yak and get on a boat. Get on a 1 day out of point loma, fisherman's landing, or H&M. I was on the New Lo-An limits of bluefin tuna and yellowtail, epic trip!

p.s. Congrats on getting an actual kayak, 90% of the guys nowadays say they "kayak" fish but are pedaling around in those hobie boats that look like kayaks. They are great fishing platforms and have many advantages over a kayak when using the sprocket and chain pedal mechanism, but that's why they aren't yaks.

I posted on your fishing trip but some reason it didnt make it. Looks like you had a great catch. Your truck is looking great and it is making me miss the ocean. Looks like you had a great time at the Lenard Skynard is supposed to be in my area next month got to work. Looks like he would be great to see.

Yes, Gevo. Great place. Pity that many people (even San Diegans) do not have the opportunity to enjoy it OR take it for granted and do not make time for this blessing. Let me know if you guy, visit. We'll have some coffee there... or beer- on the boat (illegal on beach - LOL!).

Thanks, Terry. With help for you guys.
Yeah, concert was fun. Saw the guys waving the confederate flag? Many people do not like that but during a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, it is acceptable- in fact cool- to me.

That is a big rust magnet that I still need to get rid of on a truck of mine. I have had water leaks on 4 different trucks due to the chrome trim.

Poor Man's Wet Okole...


Will also work as poor man's Weather Tech for the rear deck - LOL!
I wonder if this would last if used to replace carpet and make floor low-maintenance; hose-off, spray & wipe off.

That looks like a really thick rubber material and don't see why it would not work.
