Holy Cows......Yesterday I was sit'n out there on "da porch" sip'n a cup and got this thought.....put the registration numbers on "bubba boat". That sounds simple enough. Go to town, buy me some them stick on letters and numbers, come back home and install them. Right!!!
Well it didn't work out that way. On an unconspicuous spot I took a piece of that stick on number stuff, pressed it in place, turn around and the damn thing fall off on the ground. HUH??? Then I wash that same spot and stick on another piece......fall off. Well hell, go back to town and buy some that spray on glue stuff....what I did. That don't work either. Nothing will stick to a "bubba boat" made by Sevylor. Did you know that even duct tape won't stick??? So, here what I gonna do.....one of three things. First would be to stencil the numbers on with a Sharpie in contrasting color to the boat color. Does Sharpie come in white??? Another method would be to make detachable number brackets to hang on the boat. But, there is no place to tie them on. The last method I won't even mention.....too complicated to explain, but probably the best method.
Me and "pesky neighbor" Wayne was gonna go off and swak some golf balls today, but damn, 30 to 35 mph wind???? No way Jose.
Broke out my old printer the other day. My God, look at all the dust, dirt and sand. Will it ever work again? Well it did. Then I take it to "da porch" for a good clean'n. Ok, now how the hell ya get this thing apart? Any dust, dirt and sand will have to remain on the inside 'cause it ain't com'n apart. Then I priced new cartridges for it. Holy crap, I can buy a new printer for what they cost. Almost a hunert dollar.
Have ya ever notice that when Billy Bob do something it always turns into something funny?? Ya see, let's take the "bubba boat" for instance. A simple task of installing numbers turned into funny. The wind was blow'n, "bubba" was blowed up on some sawhorses, a wind gust come up and away go "bubba". Blowed slap off them sawhorses, headed for the cactus garden. Quick action prevented a disaster of a gazillion little holes. Damn, that were close.
Back in the old days where I come from, they used to license the motor, not the boat. We had these two small metal license plates on a chain that we hooked to the boat. We could take the motor and plates and rent a boat, put the outboard and the plates on it and off we could go. Didn’t have to haul us a boat around.
ReplyDeleteROFLMFAOOOOOO,,,can just see you chasing that boat in the cactus patch!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like some of that rubber they built THAT CBOAT with has some silicone it it!!! Try some sillycone caulking on it.. It probably won't melt the rubber too bad.
ReplyDeleteDizzy, every state requires registration numbers on the bow of a motorized boat. Even trolling motor powered. In Texas you have to register the boat and the motor also.
ReplyDeleteLOL Trouble....luckily for old Billy Bob, there is a fence between the yard and cactus garden.
Ben....the "bubba boat" ain't made out of rubber. The air tubes are made out of pvc or something like that. They fit inside the outer skin, what I have no idea what it made out of. Look like sealed canvas, but that ain't what it is.
Use a stencil kit and a can of elastised spray paint its what they spray pvc car bumpers with it will work just fine you can get it at the home depot or lowes about $7.00 a can.or as another option you can make a double sided plackard and fasten it to the tie down eye on the front of the boat..
