It's all quiet on the western, eastern, northern, and southern front here!
Just C.Bill, JPS, Yukon and W1TEF (is that shorthand for amateur
radio?)...

Got out on the boat this past weekend for the last time this year. Caught
no fish, possibly because we just rode around and brought no bait.

Saw a boat I wouldn't mind having, a Hunt 29. Deep vee, nicely finished
and looks fast.

On Saturday I jacked up the axle of my Princecraft so I could put blocks
beneath the rear trailer frame.
Now the weight is off the springs and wheels.
Today I ran some Sta-Bil enhanced gas through the 25 hp Johnson while
spraying fogging oil in the carb.
Next I removed the sparkplugs and sprayed the fogging oil there plus over
the metal parts under the cowling.
I found my gear oil container nearly empty.... but I drained the old out
and pumped the container dry replenishing it.
I was a few ounces short but I'll wait until spring before topping up the
last bit.
Tomorrow I'll take the summer cover off, remove the battery and put the
winter tarps on.
