If they ever make another Karate Kid, Cobra Kai is in trouble if I'm the star. After all the "wax on, wax off," I woke up unable to stretch my arms and I probably shouldn't have attempted this over a 2-day span.
We are brand new to boating with this being our first year and this forum has been...
I'm hoping to rely on the experts here as this is our first year of boating. :) The cover that came with our boat is in great shape except for the ties, which seem to be fraying.
