Gee, it's over.... I guess we'll have to ditch all of the "OT" posts and
actually talk about (gasp!) BOATS!!!!

I'm going to put mine to sleep this weekend. Change the oil, fog the
cylinders, drain the manifolds, change the filters and give the
ol' OMC a gear oil change (one of those darned 1982 models with about 4
drain holes in it.... yuk).

It'll be ready for runnin' next April.

This boating year was a good one. Many trips to Folsom Lake, Lake Clementine,
and the California Delta, cruising the sloughs.

Looking forward to spring!


I'm planning on winterizing mine this weekend. I'll probably sell it
next spring, as I'm looking for something a little more family and
water sports friendly.
