Thursday went according to plan. Dakota went to the groomer and while he was gone we had a visit from Steve Lippincott, head man in charge of Lippincott canvas...we talked about all sorts of canvas, got some prices, then whittled it down to fit our budget. We are getting black Bimini, black screens for front and side windows, black canvas weather strip around the aft deck, and some sort of awning thing that will keep rain from dripping on/in the hatch. They won't start til the end of next week...and he promised to get us on our way as fast as he can....still saying 4-6 weeks.

He returned with paperwork etc after we picked up sweet Dakota....and fell in love!! Why are we surprised?? Anyway he is looking for the perfect boat dog for his parents...and he really wanted to just take ours. We assured him there were more available...so hopefully Dakota won't go missing. If he does, we know where to look.

Friday weather was suppose to clear...but that sure didn't happen. We did laundry and a few inside jobs...but not much. This cold drizzle is depressing. Though not as bad as the ice storm they are having in Wichita and Fredonia. Our weather looks to get better this weekend...and we are are just a little stir crazy.

We have plans to get together with our friends John and Diane (TUTTO BENE) Saturday night...super bowl is on Sunday so we'll have to find a sports bar ( though we'd rather be in Fredonia at Bauman's fab party).... Tuesday is our day to get together with the ladies on WHY KNOT. I think we are going to visit the tapas restaurant. Other than a little WSU BB and boat projects, we'll just be hanging out on the TUMBLEWEED...tough life! Ha!!
