    Well my semi retirement ends in just under 2 weeks. Job accepted and the backgrond check is done. Not sure if this belongs in the rant thread or best things in life thread...

    Correct, I won't have the PTO and we had cut most discretionary expenses, in case I needed to coast till age 59.5.

    I did buy a point for Colorado and will for WY and MT before the EOY.

    Bubble guts...take some pepto.

    Wife: You took the pepto gummies? You know they have melatonin in them...


    Who the $@&# thought that would be a good idea for a combination?

    So couple weeks back during the party weekend the pontoon was driven down the lake with the anchor still down at the highest speed it would go and the motor was making a beeping sound. Boat has sat since I was doing some maintenance yesterday and checked the oil, yeah gas in the oil rings are shot. This is why I do not have new boats.

    They do not give away Honda 50 hp motors, it was suggested that it may be time to replace the pontoon, I replied you mean the one with the less than year old flooring, the perfectly serviceable boat. Hell no if anything that is a reason to not replace perhaps just put a 10 hp on the back of it.

    Well said f it going for the fix to get the pontoon operable for Labor Day weekend, going to change the oil add some oil treatment and only have the gas line connected when the motor is being run. POS Honda is 22 years old and wearing out, I should have bought a Yamaha.
