A little piece of history







We are boat-sitting for my brother, who just relocated his family to New Mexico. The boat is a family heirloom you could say. It is 50 years old and belonged to my grandfather on my dad's side of the family. Well, my brother and Jon have something in common in that they like to tinker around with cars, boats , and motorcycles. They both change cars about as often as I go shopping! Well they have both owned my grandmother 's 69 Ford pickup which we currently own and Jon drives . Now, we are adopting the boat until they have room for it. Which will be never because Jon is not gonna give it back. Sorry Chris! He recently had the boat sanded, revarnished, and tuned up. It has all original parts down to every registration card, the original trailer and brochure. Of course Jon couldn't resist a working boat in the garage without promptly heading to the lake. So, he went not once but twice to Benbrook lake this weekend. And after a few snags got it out on the water for her maiden voyage.
