With the seat and crate off it can ya put it in the center of the garage and stradle it with your Blazer? Garage is most likely to short at the door to lock and store it on top of your new racks on the Blazer. Long shots but worth thinking about.

I already know that I will not be receiving advance travel pay for my move and seperation, and I will not be receiving any money for my leave days im selling back until who knows when. I felt compelled to write my congressman about how this shutdown is affecting military members around the globe and got a automated e mail that says he cant respond due to the shutdown.

I got out of the corps back in may. Did 4 pumps to both iraq/afghan plus got medevaced on the last one. Still waiting on my disability to take affect. There was a bill passed a few years back that funds the VA one year in advance. Problem is there is no rule book on how to distribute those funds amongst the va departments. Im a full time student now and recieved my gi bill for this past month, called the va center on campus and asked about next month due to the shutdown. Counselors say they dont know if va edu checks will be cut. Point is. There is none, it is a shitty situation for guys like us. As for the kayak, do whatever you can to keep it man, but if it comes down to it, do what you have to do. Definately love seeing all the offers to hold it for you. Have a good sunday erryyyybody

This gov't shut down is an embarrassing portrayal as to how we treat those who have given/sacrificed the most for our country. Our lawmakers ought to be ashamed each time their direct deposit hit's their account.

Despite what's going on... We still live in the best country on the planet.

We should all begin to apply pressure to our representatives and demand they get this worked out.

Easy I can house your yak at my place for a while. At least it would be on your way to/from the DP launch.
