It is a good feeling to know it is good to go. I have enough other projects going on so nice to have one done.

Yeah you have been fighting that bike for a while now.

How is everyone here?

Troy ... if the boat actually launches and runs we might have to have a party. How many times have you attempted this now (including announced non-launches).
Time to party Michael! This was the fourth attempt at the water and luckily successful!

Congrats Troy on the boat! Let's go cruzin! LOL!
Thanks Cory! Lets go!

Good morning Dennis and MN!

Another day in paradise. I drove Desiree's car yesterday and noticed the brakes are grinding.......ooohhhh boy! I wonder how long that has been going on? Well time for a brake job I guess.

Pics look good Troy! Sure is a nice looking boat! I will get one some day, hopefully a deal like you found.

As long as synthetic has always been run in your motor, VW spec is 10,000 miles (with a filter change at 5000). I always change mine at 5k regardless. Mine doesn't come out as clean as I like. If I was changing at 5k, and it looked pretty new, I'd let it go longer.
