I'll tell you about who cares about inflatable boat fabric. I was with the wife over at a friends house having a few when his wife brought up the subject of how I had bought a boat, how my wife had told her what I paid, and that it would be a cold day in hell before she allowed her husband to spend that kind of money on a little rubber raft. Being well lubricated at the time, I launched into a 20 minute monologue categorizing all of my research that led me to purchase the hypalon and cancel the PVC ,downgrade the motor and hold of on a new trailer for hopefully finding a used one, in order to be able to afford it. I realized that I was excited about the subject! How sick is that. I was met with silence(these people don't boat, fish, shoot, or hunt. I'm still not sure why we're friends.) So the lady says to my wife "Your husband's a boating fool, isn't he?" She says " You're half right."

Well, the last part's not true, but the rest of it really happened. And I did get called an idiot later, so that makes it OK.
