The 3 hr tour lasted 7 hours :happy

So she hasn't been started since 4th July in the year of our covid.

So I charged a battery up, grabbed 40#s of tools, 5 1 gallon jugs of gas and a can of starter fluid.

We dropped Tahoe off with trailer at destination ramp and went to our property.


Made it to the parking lot at our property....
%#@÷×%_ jumper cables were left in Tahoe :roll:

1/2 hr later back at boat.

Hauled all that shit to boat in 2 trips with Porta cart, wifey went back to car and I prepped boat...

1)engine cover off... check
2) tank still 1/2 full, no thieves :donno ( gas was a wasted trip)
3) mounted flag.....hell didn't even know it would stary...Murica :nana
4) stuck key switch
5) pumped primer hard
6) sprayed fluid into intake.
7) hit key....vroom..... :alright

Warmed her up....wife got on she was like
👌

Then I pointed at the extra heavy azz battery...never hooked it up.....jumper cabled were just chillin in the shade....amazed.

1st stop was a splash of ethanol free full, I'll us the five gallons fires and shit.

Wife wanted a beer and fries

Bansil, Bansil, Bansil. I'm very disappointed in you.

Based on the pics, it appears you forgot the most important thing........... A Koozie or Yetti holder for your beverage! Come on, man! :biggrin2

I bought her French fries to go with her beer :lol3

She's in spare bedroom putting down flooring as I work on my cyclekart.... :thumbsup that's happy life.

I made a couple parts for motor bracket


She has a friend coming down, so...last weekend we tore out carpet and sanded floor.

I said I can't work on it during the week so girlfriends visit will have to wait :nono

Monday she washed and primed walls, tuesday she painted the walls, today she started on the floors :mrgreen:

So I will help on Friday for a few hours doing an accent wall and then hand over the nail gun and work on my stuff :alright

She works from home so she sneaks away....

Might as well show the room she redid so her friends could stay
I finished floor, put up trim and did her accent wall and hung her curtains and stuff.

Friday night she saw this....it was a long Friday for me.

Made her two nightstand tops. 1 is mounted on rightside
With her wine glass on it

Well...1 week out, our glorious celebration of our country's Independence :alright

So tried to work out trim not working, wiring...said piss on it, grabbed a glass of wine and flat blade screwdriver. Bleed screw....loosen....check, dropped 2 inches.

Removed the $165 dollar ticket front seats we don't use, and took off big azz trolling motor.....
