Very likely the LAST boat ride of the year

The wx has been predicting a temp drop. It was bangin on 80 today, and the average high for this time of years is more like 60.

I knew I better test fire the 35 so I got the plastic garbage can and sure nuff the needle was stuck. Had to remove the fuel lines and blow air pressure into the carb hose to break it loose.

I was only out for about an hour but we had fun

You have several weeks left for boating.

Temps in the mid 60's to low 70's, great boating weather.
Probably won't see any sticking snow until mid December.

The dummy and the diesel.........The Grey Whale

Removing the 3-4 synchro hub was an absolute nightmare FINALLY got that SOB off. Oxy/ Acet, the great big old Proto puller, and an impact. And then it came HARD. Must'ha been those "Murphy's" tolerances all adding up in the wrong direction. I ruinated the stop ring and...

Enjoy that weather while you can. We are at 42 degrees right now with a high of 56 but that's my kind of weather. Time to hit the woods and fill the freezer soon.
