The snowbirds are out moving about, making plans for their winter travel and blowing my phone and e-mail account up.

It has been completely nuts and one of those weeks that I take one step forward and 3 steps back. I am buried for a couple weeks and the orders continue to pile up everyday. Looking back a year ago at this time we were busy but not this crazy busy.

Now that everyone is getting their coaches ready for their winter travels they feel it is a good time for new toppers and awnings. Geeeesssshhh..........Now I see how you Marine people feel in the spring time.

Onward and upward I guess......My wife is now officially a stitcher widow. She said she would see me sometime around Christmas.......lol.......:)

I see a lot in town already the restraunts  are crowded , you would think chris the rvers would get them ready a bit sooner but I gueese most stay till after thanksgiving .

I got a rush job for a different dealer then my landlord from a snowbird sale , and a big job on a trawler quote today the guy though he would beat the snowbird rush but if he waits too long he will be at the end of the list ; hopefully he will call Monday, that will fund my new boat motor rebuilds

Here in NY I see that some of your clients are waiting till after Thanksgiving to fly down.  Mike do you have your flyer up in some of those restaurants that offer those early bird specials ? 
I understand there are three religions in Florida - golf, fishing, and restaurants w/early bird specials.
