Well long story short. Grrrrrr Its not fixed and will be trailering it home in the morning and installing the cat kit and muffler myself. Screw gerber body n glass and 405 muffler shop on south sheilds okc ok... Need a HOT shower to cool down....

Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

46F @ 88% RH, double gorgeous with 4 mph breeze and predicted to reach 68F here in Paradise.

I offered my surplus 12' Jon boat with 5 hp Johnson to the local Sea Scouts and they responded with an affirmative, so more treasures out of the way. The Sea Scouts are who I donated my 24' Columbia to when I bought the 36' Cascade. i have positive Boy Scout memories growing up and continue to believe in them and what they do.

Evening...ended up taking the tools and parts to the truck. Took 20mins to put on the cat kit. Made me even more mad at the muffler shop. 20 freeking minutes,

Got the last joist up and welded. Now to skin it. Might take a bit. Looks like we get rain for the next week. I hope so we need it.

Shower time.....

You go brother! You remind me how busy things were on our Oklahoma farm growing up. The good part is that it taught me to be a jack of all trades and mostly kept me out of trouble because I was too busy with projects and chores.

It also made me more creative solving problems, by building what I needed or wanted, from available piles of junk and boxes of misc. parts, plus bailing wire which we had in abundance.

It made me a better trader and bargainer from scrounging and negotiating for parts I didn't have, and gave me a good work ethic just trying to keep up.

It is refreshing to see that things haven't changed that much, more than half a century later and my hat is off to ya brother..............

Gooode morning all! 49F @ 86% RH, double gorgeous, and predicted to reach 70F.

A gorgeous day yesterday spent puttering. I hauled half a dozen LPG and refrigerant tanks to storage and brought the 5 hp Johnson from storage for donation to the Sea Scouts.

Yesterday was my day to find things, starting with an Adias bag with an Armani suit, Van Heusen shoes, and a $60 tie, et al, lying on the sidewalk. I infer it was stolen from a car and dumped, so posted it on the neighborhood forum as found.

Next, I find an I Pad lying on the sidewalk walking Miss Layla and the next house I come to has a kid playing in the front yard. I asked him if it was his and he said yes, so I gave it to him.

No packets of money or bank bags so far but a good trend.

Our gutters and valleys are now clean and ready for another year. Not as bad after our one 120-year-old Fir blew down, but we had two and the other is still burying us in needles and cones, aided by a couple cedars. I've considered getting gutter guards but not sure with our steep roof pitches how well it would work out.
 
Morning Misfits. Supposed to reach 70f today so most of the snow from yesterday's snow storm will be long gone. Nothing left but the tree damage.

@GW...looks like you had on heck of a day. Hope the suit fits...ha ha

Lots going on today. Nutes and tea for the girls. Working on the boat later. I read the owners manual on the new engine cover to cover last night. Might even test fire it.

Almost forgot...final round of the PGA. Gotta fit that in as well.
