So we putzed a little, then decided to go watch drag racing. Tonight, after he left, I took the bottom plate off the foot control, and the last doofus in there had put one of the wires behind the in/out lever, and the first time the foot pedal was depressed all the way, it pulled it off the spade.

Time to do some fishing. *Time to do some work on the boat, too. Anyone here have a boat? Steve Yes, *I have three and a pontoon. *All are surprising when the maintenance flag pops up. From here on to be referred to as "Tim's Navy"! Does that make me "Capt. Hornblower?" ?;^ Q Better than being Capt. Knobgobbler, like Larry |
