    Working on my outboard on a deadline, I had to reattach 2 bolts on the oil tank and mount a potted electric coil on top. Much to my angst the wire for the coil has to go behind the oil tank to get where it mounts, it involved loosening several nuts to get the tank to loosen up just enough. Pissed at myself but I git it done just waiting for a band of rain to come thru then launching and testing.

    On a positive note I must be getting older and wiser, worked on the motor tore down a lot of stuff, I did it without a single cut or smashed knuckle.

    Being on vacation and realizing the company as a whole is not a company as a whole.

    So, I got a reminder that I have surgery Sept 7. It then dawned on my wife not even me, that it might be hard to get in a stand and draw a bow the 10th. I might not shoot the first deer this year boys

    Trying to have patience, then realizing it was the first thing to leave as I've aged.

    After that time you basically willed yourself back to life, then killed a deer, I don't put anything past you. KILL

    Well now I am really pissed, Home Depot clowns show up to inspect the installation that Home Depot clowns did the week before, they did not bring a replacement with them and the clown spent 5 minutes looking at it and said yep it's bad. I have an 800 number to call Monday morning. I am not waiting for another Saturday, oh and next Saturday is Labor Day weekend.

    Fishing with the boys on the dock, youngest has his favorite toy tractor on the dock, yep it went in right at the end where the water is 12-16' deep. Grandpa has to go to town when the hardware store opens to get a pair of goggles to dive for the tractor. Worst part is I am allergic to lake water when I submerge my head it will be like somebody dumped a bag of cement in my sinuses and my ears will be wonky for a few days.

    Dropped between a 100 to 150# log on my left thigh. Actually both but left took the blunt. Did some damage I fear. At the least, crazy painful.

    Ps no not cutting just move in a 6ft maple log

    Power is out, likely from the storm that just blew thru. ETA for restoration 3am. Glad the temps dropped from the storm.
