Re: procrastination vs .......
For just tarps, I personally would probably use up the usefulness then toss it afterwards. No need to look pretty during a T-storm, no one will be around.

Re: procrastination vs .......
Why have the new tarps look just like the old ones. Get your monies worth out of the old ones, then do the new ones.
Plus the noise the old ones make will keep the birds off your spreaders..

Re: Procrastination vs . . .
Just a thought- tarps are probably dirt cheap in Mxco, so the only investment is your time. I guess it depends on how comfortable/dry/shaded/sweaty from replacing tarps you want to be. I would replace, and buy new spares. You know you're gonna need them. Probably tomorrow! lol (Reach over and poke Bubba for me, will ya?)
