I started with this... Originally wanted to keep it a tiller but the Merc 25 had been run with no oil and it was too far gone to save for a reasonable cost. I couldn't find a long shaft tiller 25/30 so plan B was to put a console in it and install this sweetheart that has been hanging in the back of my shop for 3+ years Framed a front deck w/storage area and plumbed the livewell and covered in SeaDeck (the lightest color available to keep things cool in the sun) Installed some LED front lights because light posts and flyline always wanna make love to each other in the middle of a double-haul.

Erin Brockovich wannabes. π

I don't like kids either....unless they are working and being somewhat productive. Which is even more rare than a good dog!

I somewhat agree, even though I have a "pet". Orion doesn't hunt, and he really doesn't work either. He does do a pretty good job of keeping an eye on everybody's boats around here, and he entertains customers so he gets a pass. π I did have to dock him a day's pay for sleeping on the job last week when the coons had a RedBull party in one of my customers pontoons. Usually he keeps a close eye on things around here.

Yeah, of all the breeds to choose from, pitbulls are the choice of all the crackheads around here. I don't have a problem with them except for the fact that I can't let MY DOG get around them. I couldn't care less if my Lab scraps with a Shepherd, Doberman, or another Lab, the worst that can happen is a torn ear or something.....But I don't want him fighting a pitbull, because they don't play by the same rules. Pitbulls will go for death with other dogs.

Where you get into trouble is trying to be "polite" to the owner. I treat all dogs like they belong to me, and have never had a problem with anyone's dog. If they need to be kicked in the head then I just do it without waiting for the owner to "correct them". I get immediate respect from all dogs. I also don't hesitate to pet or play with a friendly one. I love dogs.

You're just jealous. If you could lick yours you'd never leave the house.

My grandpa thought diesel fuel was the cure for everything. It does do wonders for bee/wasp stings, and mosquito bites. Butter (the real thing) is great for burns....of course that's after you've rubbed diesel fuel on it. π

I wonder how long before "Hillbilly" gets the axe ?

Yeah, nothing like a micro-dose of cyanide to get your immune system kicked into gear. π

Except for cigarettes, right? π

If money is not a big issue to you then you will probably be happy with a new motor that will give you good service for 4-5 years. Over time a number of little things happen to an outboard that cause it to run less than perfect. I'm a big fan of Johnson/Evinrude mainly because all of those "little things" are relatively easy to diagnose and repair at a reasonable cost. Even a complete rebuild of that 3 cylinder 70 (should it need it) isn't that expensive to have done. And if done correctly the motor is 100% as good as new....and ready for another 15-20 years. Yes I am on the Westside of Lake O (Gravois Mills) If you decide to buy a new one just tell me what they are allowing you on trade and I will beat that and take it off your hands. Just swing by and I'll remove it and write you a check while you throw a ball for the happy hound. π

Big brown Mayflys are hatching in the evenings right now, so it doesn't surprise me too much that a little Wally ate a popper.

I knew I wasn't crazy. I googled it and found this: The stems, unripe fruit and leaves are all toxic to humans. Cyanogenic glycoside and alkaloid in these parts of a black elderberry produce stomach upset, diarrhea, vomiting and potentially coma in those who ingest them. Skin irritation may occur from touching elderberry in susceptible individuals. Why do people like you always wanna be eating something that's destined to kill you? π Have you tried Stinging Nettle yet? That stuff is supposed to be the healthiest thing on the planet. Got plenty of that around here too.

It grows like wildfire around here. I don't care for it. I've always heard it was heavy with demons and there was special steps you had to take to get the wickedness out of it. I lack the book of cantations and spells. I did however get the first batch of ripe blackberrys today. We'll be checking them every evening for the next week or two.

I'm just trying to get a stupid Jon boat console! I honestly could have ordered a whole boat and had it built in less time than it has taken me to get a stupid console.

Well I like you too π€ Everything I put out has a solid foundation....To Me. I feel like I can usually back it up. -

You deciding, long ago, that you didn't like me... was a good call I think. The new crew....yeah they can go away anytime now and not be missed.....but the original crew.... There's nothing to even compare them to. -
I could probably give you a dozen examples of very common beliefs that are equally insane....but I won't. So, are they REALLY going to change a county name? Can this actually happen?

FOURTH GENERATION FUEL SYSTEM New Quick-Startβ’ technology allows rapid automatic fuel system priming There's your window Evinrude! They can't trademark Quick Start, that's patent infringement. Wake your lawyers up! -
Nissan outboard dies occasionally
fishinwrench replied to Fishfighter's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
Sounds like you've narrowed it down to a fuel supply/delivery issue. If the bulb goes completely empty and it takes more than 2 squeezes to reprime it then it is indeed siphoning back down. Consider the finger over the straw scenario. How many different ways are there to cause that vacuum to cease and the soda to leave the straw? Lift the finger. Put a hole in the finger. Put a hole or crack in the straw. The fuel pump diaphragm is the finger. -
Can a person still name a child Adolph if they want to ? Does everyone with the last name of Epstein automatically get put on the sex offender registry ? Are there Trump's that aren't related to the president?
