Good morning guys.
I have been a little busy lately.

Congrats on the truck Josiah.

I went and bought a new/used motor for the boat last night.
It is a Honda 9.9 hp.
The old one that it can with was nothing more that a PITA to keep running.

You're not kidding John. We didn't let an intermittent problem shut down our weekend plans though. If it fits, it ships!

Good evening everyone.

Put a hitch on my mom's Sienna, that makes the second hitch I've done this week. Forgot how much fun a Sienna is, took me over three hours to complete everything. My sister's CX-5 on Monday only took an hour.

Spent most of the week up in New Hampshire riding with family and had a really great time. Have a new internal harness coming for the transmission in my Town Car, so over the next week or so I need to get my hands on a good in-lb torque wrench. Fun fun.

Good morning guys.

I have been busy at work and I have taken the boys out 3 nights fishing on the boat.

In anyone is interested there is a Deep River Ancient Muster parade today at 11.
It is the largest gathering of fife and drum participants and enthusiasts in the world and has been referred to as “The Granddaddy of All Musters”

Good morning Pete and everyone else.
It is already hot sticky out.

I think I will take a ride up to Cabelas later today for some fishing stuff.

Good evening everyone.

Was hoping to get out on the boat today, but the rest of the family couldn't make it. So I ended up taking the Wee Star for a ride out to Providence.



Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Good morning guys.

You know it is going to be a hot one when you wake up and it is already 74* out.
Try to keep cool.
