On pause

 Well, I capped off another week spending more than I make. I'm sure it will all be worth it, hopefully after this round I'll be able to get out in the next week or 2. That is unless gas prices me out of the market..🤷‍♂️

Then all this is for not👎..... 

who am I kidding?

 I'll still go....... into more debt.🤑

For the love of the game.

Be safe, 🙏 that I can get this boat wrapped up next week. Or at the very least that it blows all next week, so even if I was done I still couldn't get out.

🤷‍♂️

Really close....

 Well from the looks of it right now I am going to miss my start date for fishing... I'm hoping it's only going to be a week unless I get what I need fixed, fixed. 

I had a pretty good week got quite a bit done, at least done enough to fish... until.... my bilge pump stopped working, and the alarm on the motor stopped alarming. So those are the 2 things I will have to address before I go out. 

The stuff I did get done....

Yep I got all my fishfinders mounted and even switched out my fuse panel. The bilge should be a pretty easy plug and play. The alarm I'm hoping just had a fuse go out on the motor. Not sure bout anything else just going to not think about anything else til Monday.

Hope everything is going well for you. Stay safe 

talk to ya next week. 

Ran out of time this week...

 Saved all the happy work for today and ran myself out of time for this. I'll have a good update next week though. 

Only 1 more week and I "should" be on the water.... 

still going

 I spent more money than getting alot done this week, not too happy bout that. The main cost was a new starting battery

Yeah... that was a chunk of change I "wanted" to spend only because the old battery would drop to 50%  after only a week of not being charged. So just to make sure I can get back in once I get out, I thought it would be a good purchase.

The other stuff I have started and am working on is getting my new fishfinders mounted and installed. I have my Helix 12 ready to install since I got the mount installed and the wiring hole punched and started running the wiring.

My 7 is next but I have to move the Garmin around to allow the 7 on the dash. When the Garmin was mounted on the dash I didn't have enough room between the windshield and the unit to install my 7, so I had to come up with a solution......

 I removed the base, cut off locking arms, and attached a couple aluminum brackets. This way I can lower the unit in front of the dash and allow more room between the windshield and the Garmin to install the Helix 7.

 And I'm hoping to mount it kinda like this.....

The only difference will be when it's mounted it will be level..... ha ha.... 👈😆 and I should enough room to mount the 7.

Other than that there's not much going on.. the weather kept me from shooting my turkey guns this week but I'll do that Monday. The weather is also going to get in the 50's next week so that will be good to shoot in. I was hoping to get my boat worked on this weekend (rebuild carbs) but my guy has to work, so hopefully next weekend.

 

So that's all I got, since I have the ground work laid, I'm hoping to get at least the fishfinders done by next week. 

Be safe til then. 

did some work

 Well, I got my boat back from the canvas maker and this is what he came up with. 

The windshield cover unsnaps and comes off while leaving the cockpit cover on... I like the fact that it will keep the bugs off the windshield and the foam on the back will soften the blow of any wayward rocks.

As far as what I did this week I crushed cans, changed out my water heater (with Cliff's help), got my chair base put in, and got my fish finders mocked up to mount. Next week I'll be putting them on and changing out the old electrical board with a new marine post set up.

Gotta go, til next week be safe.
