the snow storm up north will probably kill my plans to fly to Detroit for the weekend. :(

IIRC, the outboard water pump also uses a jabsco impeller. I don't recall the alignment being all that difficult on the ones I serviced.

Oh, yeah! Sudwerk makes a very good marzen.

Hell, it may be cheaper to fly him south, pay for the beer, food and parts, and let him do the work.

RyJ Cazadores... and a Spaten premium lager.

I've worked a lot of OT since the wife has been in the Philippines. Needed a 2 day break, but it's back to it tomorrow.

Did you put a prostate feeler on the end of the "Prototype" or just make it to where it had an electric start?[jester]

My wife said the ones with the kickstart can be frustrating and having to work the clutch all the time takes a great deal of dexterity. 🍺

Just be careful during the human trials. I would hate to hear that you can no longer tell the difference between a fart and a sigh.[gonzo]

Thunderstorms rolling in.

I was gonna dewinterize the camper tonight, maybe fix some stuff since I gotta try to stay up all night. But can't take the tarp off wet.

So, Knob Creek and a CC in the garage it is.

What do you do? Figured you were a drafter for some reason. The ones I worked with in the past did the cad, and sent files to the floor. The dudes on the floor were the ones putting in OT to make it work while the cad dudes made it home for dinner and bitched about us changing stuff the next day.

I'm up late, as well. But in 3 months, I will switch back to day shift for 6 glorious months!!

Spoke with the wife today... we contemplated retirement in the Philippines. I'm unsure.

If we do... I can retire for good in December. But if we make the move, it will be financially difficult to come back if I decide I don't want to stay. 🤔

Safe bet is to get to 53, cash out my sick bank at 100%... then adjourn to Florida. It's nice to know that I have options, though. She says 30k for the lot and 100k for a very, very nice house with central air.

I'm tempted.
