Looks like we may get rain on Friday. Rain I'm good with, I've had enough of the snow!

Morning all. Very wet...I'll take snow any day over rain. haha. I'm ready for sun and heat. Was nice to come home after work and be able to work on the boat for a while. Got the onboard charger wired up, need to figure out how to mount it.

I guess I'm lucky to still have a coil for it to run off of. $52.00 at Amazon - no shipping cost with Prime.
My heart sank when he said that. If the new tach doesn't fix it I'll just run it as is. Nice to have but not *that* necessary I guess. I've had enough of these types of boats that I can tell by the engine sound, feel of the hull, and from the speedo where the sweet spot is.

Pretty morning in Montana...... A wee bit chilly, but the temp is on the rise.
No thought of getting the boat ready at all yet..... Snow is melting....

Belated soggy Good Morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Wet, rain and now the mercury seems to be going the wrong direction. Was 54 around 0200, dropped to 44, clawed its way back to 48 and in the last 30 minutes has dropped to 47.2. 46.8.
Took Sthickly, AKA Demon Kitty out to the camper last night and turned the furnace on and put her in her bed out there. Much better than trying to keep her quiet in the large kennel carrier. She settled right down and wasn't near as anxious and is resting quietly and peacefully now. She was supposed to be down and quiet for 24 hours and no rough housing for a week. Well, she really doesn't know how to be good - hence the nickname 'Demon Kitty'.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Wet and raining.
Checked on the possibility of repairing our Washing Machine. It was hands down very discouraging as far as repair vs replacement. So, we followed up on some washing machine shopping we had been doing on line at home and saw some models up close and personal.
Warden's birthday is the 22nd so I decided to break the bank, go for broke and get her and electrically efficient, save the planet Eco friendly model of Washer....best of all it will be delivered on her birthday!

Good evening Oregon and Visitors.
Rain wasn't to bad today but I could sure use some more weather like we had on Monday.
Jim if you had gone with the first washer I'm guessing you have some black and blue marks later.

Good morning Pat and those to follow.

Even having small hands, that FICM on the 6.0 is a real pain in the butt to swap out!
