    A holes that design larger boat motors. I have a 115 hp mariner. To service the sparkplugs you remove the shorouds, then pull 8 bolts to remove the bracket that covers the sparkplugs. Carbs, can not see them have to pull another 12 screws to get the shroud off to access the carbs. what a pain. No pressure the motor has to be running tip top by Friday night.

    If you go to Denny's do not have the lasagna. I had that for lunch when I was out with my Dad, I did not even eat half of it, it was so greasy. I do not do well with grease, even deepfried food, I can not eat prime rib the fat content makes me ill. I am sitting in my office after lunch and I started sweating, had to bolt to the bathroom, puked my guts out. Couple people were like what the hell? Figured you didn't want to listen to me puke. Never again.

    The work week leading up to a vacation drags on so much. Leaving for Colorado Friday and last few days have been ridiculously slow ha.

    So I was following conventional wisdom trouble shooting my motor. To me it felt like a fuel issue, changed fuel cells, changed plugs wires etc. Opened up the intake manifold to see the carbs were spotless. My next option was to open up the fuel pump. I decided to wipe down and clean the plastic intake manifold. Discovered an unconventional failure the plastic back plate of the intake manifold has a crack right by the lower carb intake, the lower 2 cylinders are the high speed cylinders, huge vacuum leak right into a carb and cylinder. This 1992 motor is the newest motor I have ever owned, the modern tech frightens and confuses me.

    Coyotes, they have gotten bad here. I took out one den two years ago on us. They have been dropping large #'s of pups on neighbors. I saw pups up the hill from us that were already big a month ago.
    I was out working until 9pm last night and they let loose behind the house. I have to say it unsettled me. They were at the chicken coop 2 nights ago.

    I am absolutely sick to death of seeing and hearing evidence against the Bidens and zero done about it.

    Wow I just listened to that Jason Aldean song. Was expecting total craziness. I heard nothing of the sort.

    Holy Hanna!!!!!
    I just went out to get produce out of the Gator before the storms hit turn and look down my drive movement catches my eye. A freaking BIG blk bear is ambling down the drive at me. I run for the door yelling for hubby to look just as he turns and goes up into the corn field.
    Man healthy bear even at dusk I could clearly see how Shiney his coat is.
    Probably the one A.J. alerted me to back in June. Dang glad I put the birds in early today

    Happened to us after we moved about 15 yrs ago. Bought a generator. Run it twice a year to make sure it works. Have needed it twice. Pretty cheap insurance.

    Said every adult since at least 1900.

    Having said that, it's hard to disagree

    Evidently the perpetually offended do not care for it, they did push the song to number 1 on the charts.

    I remember when it was considered a good thing to draw a line in the sand against certain behaviors. Guess not anymore in the Twilight Zone that is America.
