Default My new canopy cover

I just have to show off my new Bruce canopy cover. Paul gave it to Louise for Valentine's Day, but clearly it was really a present to me. Pretty sexy, don't you think?





Now, just in case anyone out there thinks I'm naive enough to believe Paul gave it to me only out of love for me and Louise, I'm pretty sure I know his real motivation. I've heard talk that we'll fly to St. Paul again soon and there was only one hanger space last time. I think Paul is afraid that his warrior-princess, the Valkyrie, might have to get wet outside if she has the better cover.

Default Standard or Extended?

I thinking about ordering a canopy cover from Bruce's. It looks like Mickey got the standard cover (very nice,btw ) but Bruce also sells an Extended cover.

What if any benefit is there to the extended cover?

P.S. Is Mickey pronounced Mike-e or like the mouse?

Mikey is named for his builder Mike Seager. Take it from there.

Default The standard is good, but...

I have no experience with the extended model but I am using Mikey's (yes, Mike-e) a lot now and still really like it. Still recommended.

That his new coat is covered with pink hearts.

Most guy wouldn't wear such a thing.

Just kidding Louise, it looks cozy.
