I understand ( to some degree) why S & S would do a budget line of parts because we get calls for it quite a bit. What people don't understand is budget means offshore, no way around it. We just won't do it, hard enough to get some bearings in this country we sure as **** won't outsource our gears to another country and then put out name on it. Funk that.

If we did WS18 in TX we'd have to pick a different month than July, right? I figure it'd be awful hot that time of year.

Oh yeah it's hot. Spring or fall are the best bets. Spring for the bluebonnets.

And plenty of towels!! I was trying to think of a prank to leave a bunch of dry towels around the tub drain when I visited but didn't know if Kristi would appreciate the humor.
