drum roll please.....

Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls... The fish are no longer safe.

I finally got the boat out for the second  maiden voyage, and I gotta say this one went much better for me. 

 For him on the other hand, not so much. I had talked to him at the dock a little bit, he was launching right behind me. Apparently he just bought this boat a month ago and first time out it overheated. He had the water pump replaced, this was the first time out after that and halfway across the lake the hot buzzer started going off again. Unfortunately none of the other boaters on this basin could be bothered to help. I mean, I understand it's hard to recognize that a fellow boater on a lake, that's adrift with the engine compartment up, might need help. 

I hope this marks up at least 10 warm and fuzzy Karma points for me. 

 

Anyway, the boat ran great, it's top speed was 36mph, 9 mph faster than my last boat that had a 120. It also rode like a dream, it felt like a tank but didn't handle like one if that makes sense. 

Super happy right now with the boat.

I'll get it loaded and rigged next week and am tentatively looking to make the first fishing trip of the year the week after. 

 

Rose bush progress..

I had a little bug infestation that I noticed last week and hit it with 7 dust, which by the way works like a dream. After the dusting the growth started again and it's doing much better.

 

Well, nothing more to rep....

 

Life lesson: when you open the fridge and notice the last bit of watermelon that is cut into Jeff size chunks is past it's consumable phase of life, but you're too lazy to walk it out and dump it in the woods, so you decide to treat it like a dead goldfish, make sure you at least squish it up a little, or you will have to wait til the stores open the next day so you can go get a snake to work the blockage through the maze of toilet and piping before it's sent on it's way. 

 

PS- If you have a house you should already own a snake.....
