So is shrink wrap really that good of investment.

Of course I'm one to talk. I don't have a cover on my boats, but then
again, I store them in my warehouse.

You know, I wonder the same thing. I've got a nicely fitting canvas
cover,
propped up down the centerline with nylon rope which I can easily tighten
when needed. The cover costs about $400, new, and I think it'll be good
for
at least four years, going by past experience.

I don't see the advantage of shrink wrap. This way, if there's a great
day
in January and I want to go out, I can do so.

John.

That makes more sense than shrink wrap. If a canvas cover runs 400 bucks,
that's about 3 years worth of shrink wrap. If the cover lasts 4 years,
you're ahead of the game. Shrink wrap never made any financial sense to
me. Maybe I'm missing something...

Since I boat during the winter, I have a portable garage from Costco. About
$180. Plus a $700 snap on boat cover. Since we get so little snow. Maybe
an inch or two every 10 years, mine works to shelter the boat from sun
damage.


I can't understand why a person with a barn would even consider spending
money on shrink wrap every year. I'd just back the boat into the barn and
shut the doors.

If you had an old barn, your family members probably would shove you
into it, barricade the doors, pour gasoline on the wood siding, and set
it ablaze. That way, your wife could find herself a man who'd rather
spend time with her than pretend he was a golfer.

I don't know what religion you practice, but I am surprised that it
would endorse this kind of behavior.

Tell us again why your (wife?) refuses to use Krause as her surname. Is
she embarrassed to be associated with you? It must be a heart breaker,
knowing how she feels about you. Eh.

Yours does...Leviticus 1:9

"But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest
shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made
by fire, of "a sweet savour unto the LORD".

Wow, Harry's quoting the Torah.

From Leviticus 15, "'When any man has a discharge from his body, his
discharge is unclean. And this shall be his uncleanness in regard to his
discharge; whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body is stopped
up by his discharge, it is his uncleanness. Every bed is unclean on which
he who has the discharge lies, and everything on which he sits shall be
unclean."

I wonder if he thinks of this in the morning when popping his pustules. He
sounds like an 'old testament' kind of guy, which is OK. But, I don't think
the Jewish faith would condone his behavior any more than the Christian
faith would.




Gee, I wonder if Reggie will send a snarky comment your way.

Nah.

Harry, you really should start at verse 5 and you'll notice that it is
a sacrifice of a bull. not a human.

Uh, Tim...I know it was animal sacrifice. But like everyone else, I feel
it is my privilege and duty to use the bible to prove any point I want
.. :)

You know, like being anti-abortion but pro-execution.

But is it cheaper to continually have to tear it off in the spring and
throw it away?

--------------------------------

Around here shrink-wrap is often collected and recycled in the spring.
I don't know what they do with it, but apparently it has some use.

Condoms?

Do they make condoms big enough to slip over Justhate & LoonyToons heads and
all the way down to their feet. (all 5'5" of them)
