Good one, Marc! Cold oil build up the forearms!

We had just no wind on the sound on Saturday, though I heard it picked up
later. Sunday was gusting 25-30, just great sailing though some water managed
to get past the dodger a few times.
Who won the tacking dual?

RB

Not compared to you!

Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Horass has a lot of experience pumping out with his boyfriend.

Try pumping it out.

Yeh, we had one of those for the old A4 on the Catalina 27. Worked
ok. Hard to flush it out well, but it's better than nothing.

Ignore the idiots.

You need a pump that works through the dipstick. I use a Tempo Oilboy

The filter is more of a problem, since it always makes a mess. I keep a
pack of
extra large diapers to try to contain it.

Great suggestion... noted in the log for the next time it's an issue.

Add a 12" length of 1/4"' brake tubing to the pump intake hose. This
allows you to probe the oil pan and retrieve more dirty oil. Also, you
can fit a small disposable paint roller tray under the engine to
capture the mess from the oil filter. Remember to warm up the engine
or you'll be a long time pumping.

Ignore the Loco character. He's an idiot. Buy a electric oil changing pump


Hey don't pay any attention to this dimwit. He knows nothing about boats. Buy
one of those vacum pump cans. Stick the hose down your dipstick tube, pump
about 40 times, release the trigger and go drink a Coke. The vacum does all
the work and when it's finished all the ould oil is in the can. Pick it up and
walk away. Those electric oil change pumps are a mess.

Yeah, Loco, I'm sure he'll listen to you after you pot-shotted him for no
reason. You're such a jerk!
Why don't you learn to read a header, pinhead? Doug should learn this too, but
he's too busy seeing if his trawler is more expensive than his neighbor's boat!

Wait, did I say 25-30? I meant 45-50. Forget about those buoy reports that
still show wind in my area did not top 15 yesterday - BOY it was honkin'! We
could only manage a scrap of jib as none of the girls were bold enough to go
forward and raise the main and I certainly wasn't about to unhook the harness.
Besides, no one felt like heeling because then the soda cans don't stay upright
on the seats. And that water coming past the dodger was not just leaking
through the faulty seams, but genuine green water - err, well, really brown
water, with little specs of NY runoff trash in them. But I was sailing, while
you ninnies were playing with your computers.

Hoo Ahh
