    Some really cool shit
    I hit 20 years in August. Just waiting for my Letter. I was with SBU 11, and spent a little time at SBU 22. Mostly in Little Creek now when doing my Reserve shit. We are housed in the Group 4 compound there by 22. I started out as QM2 coxswain on a Mini ATC. The PBR was being decommissioned when I got to Eleven, in 1994. Ended up in the PBL, and have several nice runs in the SOC-R. Made E-6 as a QM, but made Chief as an SB (SWCC). Loved it, but it is coming to a close.

    Well. I got home yesterday from South Carolina and my Wet Okoles were here. :)
    So, I spent the afternoon installing them. I'd like to thank all those who gave me installation tips about a month ago. All went pretty smoothly, for me at least.
    They look great and I think they'll help save the original seats.:D

    Thanks Rob. Shouldn't you be out there harvesting game or something, winter's coming.

    I almost just ordered the fronts too, but at the last minute, I said what the heck, and ordered front and rear. They sent me the little cover that goes over the console too. It's pretty nice to have since the dog always puts her paws on it to ride. The last SUV she wore holes in it. Maybe this will give some protection.

    Back from Boston. I would not move there. ;) Poured rain almost all the way up. Drive home was clear but the drivers were some of the most amazing loons I've seen in a while; I forgot how mindlessly aggressive New Englanders can be behind the wheel. All the fenders are still straight though and we had a great time at the event. Wife's high school class is an amazing bunch, especially how well they've stayed in touch over the years.
    Couldn't agree more, although it gets pretty crowded in the summer. I'm not a beach person and I still love it there. So much to do.
    I got a used set from a member here. Only a few months in the truck but I like them so far. For one thing they make my base seats more comfortable!
    I'll be keeping a positive thought for you Charlie.

    :wave: Morning Cool Old Dudes and Susan. :D

    Welcome back Ken. Sounds like a great vacation. Now you can get back to ... well, your normal vacation. ;) Thanks for sharing the pics:cool:

    Hi Charlie. it's gonna be ok buddy. In my thoughts and prayers. :pray:

    Glad your trip went well and you survived the road idiots.

    I found the same thing with my seat covers. The extra padding made my base seats more comfortable and being waterproof is perfect for the way I (or should I say our dog Bear) use my truck.

    I'm just about ready for Winter here. We prepped the Quads yesterday and got them packed away in the shed. A little more reconfiguration of the garage for parkng vehicles and we'll be there. Once again Summer and our short Fall have slipped past too quickly for my liking, but there's plenty of Salmon and Moose in the freezer. Didn't score any Halibut (traded some Salmon for about 10 packs from a friend though) or Caribou this year, but that's how it goes. :)

    Have a good day all. :oldglory:
