Howdy All, Hope U All had a GREAT BOATING Season.  I know I did despite the cool windy summer we experienced in the frozen tundra. Well I’m back with all the smiley faces & all.  I’ve gotta get me a laptop for next season as soon as I recover some $$$$$ from the high fuel bill I’ve incurred over the season.  Sure could of used some of the good advice from this site when I reinstalled the F/B ran into a few minor glitches thanks to Stan for his time & knowledge in the help of getting my sycro back up. A word to the wise don’t take any wiring for granite, mark all no matter how simple it may look. My thought was at the time was this looks self explanatory why mark it 4 hrs. later I was still scratching by head, Thanks again Stan even though U drink that Moose Pi$$.To All I hope the off season goes by quickly & we are All back plying the waters, fuel prices allowing.  Fred B. it sure was a pleasure meeting U & the lovely wife although a short meeting but enjoyable. Big  s Live On Docsnow

Jeff, I’m putting my $$$$$ on the Detroit Tigers I know one thing they can’t lose any more games this season. When all the riff raft knock them self out of contention I’ll give U my prediction on who to place your $1 on I’m certain a frugal gentleman as U R wouldn’t wager to much more than that  By the way the Penguin’s & Red Wing’s are hockey teams (-: Had U forgotten I picked the NY Giants in the Super Bowl last season $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Have U pulled your boat as of yet ? Have a Great off season hopefully it’ll pass quickly. What do U mean you’re a professional tax payer I hear tail that the IRS is on a hunt in New Tripoli for some tax evading scoundrel in them there parts they wouldn’t be thinking it’s U now would they Huum!!!   Norm, BIG s Live On

The IRS may look but, as you know, those coffee cans are well hidden.
We hope to get a few more weeks out of the boat. I'm trying to square away all the tuning problems I got so they won't bug me next year. With identical Edelbrock carbs, the port engine spark plugs come out a nice light tan; the other motor's plugs are stark white and show signs of preignition. Same damn jetting, properly timed, running the correct (checked) temperatures, etc. Starting to PISS me off! Gonna rejet the carb richer and see if that cures it, but I'm running out of time.
The fun never ends.
Jeff

Joe, Other than just plan Ole Norm, who’s been a member since about 2001or 2002 usually on the site from Oct. till May the rest of the year I live aboard my Big Or used your saying of: Unzinced ships sink at slips. In terms of Unzinced hoofs sink elk on the range with pix of my grandsons first elk. Or this my jog the cobwebs when this new site started up U had me change my avatar from a well endowed young lady with BUD taps attached to her well endowed areas dubbed as the “Perfect Lady” or ask Jeff well maybe not he may tell U to eject me from the site Norm, BIG s Live On

Jeff, Unofficial roughly about 1200 gal Haven’t had the time to sit down & telly it up yet or it might be that I’m to frightened to do it ~$$$$~ A full day of fishing on average would run $250 OUCH, I usually run out on both eng.(10mi/20mi) than troll several hr. @ about 850/950 RPM switching eng to equalize the hr meters. I must be slipping into senility cause I can’t remember discussing running on one eng. Like U I’m not a go slow boater if-in I were I believe I’d buy me a G/B trawler which might not be a bad idea, after talking to several trawler owners that pulled into port & finding out what their fuel consumption was compared to mine Cheeze !! U - R a young puppy I’ve had my MC card for what seems like centuries but I’m not doing to bad @ 83 & still crawling around a Big M bilge Big s Live On

Stan, Ya I noticed they probably went for pretty cheap What did they go for 10 for a $1 after the Penguins took that savage whoop-en from the RED WINGS last year. Can’t believe U’d wear that other than in the bilge to change the earl. Norm, Big s Live On
