I have permission to bring our convention style display board and we can hang pictures from it.
It's about 8' X 10' and if the pics have a little strip on velcro on the back they will stick to the upholstery.
I will try to bring it to breakfast Saturday for approval.

Just a "heads up", you guys might want to hang fenders on your boats on display.  The Atlanta Boat Show opened yesterday, and right before the doors were scheduled to open, one of the "Wakeboard Demo Tanks" broke and released 200,000 gals (?) of water onto the convention center floor in a hurry!  Needless to say, the opening was delayed while they cleaned up the mess, put displays and boats back where they belonged, etc...... :o

Just kidding about the fenders, the odds of that happening again are astronomical I'm sure, but can you imagine the havoc that created???

Who ever is involved with set-up on Wednesday, please watch this video.
I have never set the thing up so I'll be useless.

I like the guy at the end of the video with the 2x4 squeegee! Bet that worked great. What a waste of water.....

I have mentioned to a few people that I have purchased a vinyl cutter. I put together this design and cut a few of them. If you are bringing your boat to the show and would like one or 2 for your boat let me know what color you would like and I will cut them and bring them tomorrow (WED). click on link below and pic will show up

.odt is usually from OpenOffice or StarOffice.
.docx is M$'s new closed proprietary format used in Office 2007 and newer.

.doc became ubiquitous so M$ couldn't control its feature set as much anymore, so they had to come up with a new one...the  'x' in doc'x' means that is supports .xml coding standards...its still 'open'...just not really when the lawyers get involved.

What's all this mean in English?

It won't open on my mac either. Maybe just do a screen shot of it Shawn.

The 'cliffs notes version' is that it needs to be saved as type .doc, or exported as a .doc file, which OpenOffice can do.  The rest of us won't be able to read it otherwise.

Now...I'm just guessing on the file type...google says its a OO (OpenOffice) file type, so I'm going with that.

I would like two of them Shawn for the Trailer. What do I owe you?

That looks sweet!

What time do you plan to be there tomorrow? I will be there from 5:30 till maybe 7:30 or till the job is done.


by the way: That is the first "real" screen shot I have seen. I could not stop laughing! I meant use the Print Screen button or if you have windows 7, the clipping tool is the best thing about windows 7!

Shawn and I are bringing down Glen's GT tonight after work, I would expect that we will be there around 5:30-6:30 depending on the traffic and how quickly we can get out of the house.

I've not had any reason to check the volunteer manning schedule, but a happy FYI from Lake Rathbun, IA ... I'm driving up on Saturday for the boat show.  Booked a little room just a block or two from the convention center so I can park at the hotel and walk over.  I'm excited to meet some of you guys and check out the boats ... especially the GT.  I have a feeling I'll be leaving there with some flake-envy, but that's a good thing.  Taking my daughter with me, she'll enjoy checking some of the boats out & having her picture taken on a few.

Cheers!
