Thanks 'Dude! ![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif)
Healthwise, still on the mend. And some of the lingering complications will probable affect me for some time... but sure am planning on NOT letting it impact my ability to go fishing!! [

As you noted, everybody's fishing (locations/styles) and needs are different - both in regard to my rack design and tube observations. I just wanted to share MINE... and give back a little to this site that has helped me so much in the past!
And as for the [#0000ff]"keep messin' widdit"[/#0000ff] <lol> notice that I left the PVC "cross-member" mounting piece OPEN at the ends!! I did that intentionally so that IF I decided to extend it - from either/both end(s) - I could easily do so. They're ALWAYS a work in progress, huh! []
[quote TubeDude][cool][#0000ff]Welcome back. Hope everything (medical) is under control and that you are fully able to enjoy your fishing more.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Thanks for the personal evaluation of the two craft and the insight as to the pros and cons of each. That is always helpful to new folks that are trying to make decisions on new purchases. Ultimately, we all make our own choices for our own reasons...and they are usually different.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Nice work on the modifications. I'm betting that you will "keep messin' widdit" as long as you are tubing. I sure have.[/#0000ff][/quote]
