Start of today's trip:

Your fuel burn is very close to what I predicted. I calculated 6.7
gph at 4,000 RPM and it looks like you were at 6.2 actual. That
probably means you could increase your prop pitch by an inch or so and
still make 6,000 WOT.


I wonder what the impact of burning off 50 gallons of fuel will be. The
tank holds 100 gallons, but there certainly is no reason why I would
want to transport that much fuel. Keeping the tank half full will save
about 320 pounds of dead weight.


Another photo or two. Some like 'em, some are aggravated by 'em. tough.

The first is of a jetty at Deale and the second is the commercial
fishing dock at Chesapeake Beach.

Next time get some wake, rod and fish pics.
And what's on ice in the cooler.

You know, I did wet a line but it was so damned hot yesterday, I just
wasn't that enthusiastic about fishing. A wake photo, eh? I suppose.

The cooler contained:

Two cans of diet coke.
One can of Mexican beer.
Two bottles of water.
One cup of canned fruit.
A couple of cookies.
Ice.


I don't eat a lot when I'm out on the water in the heat.

I get hungry when the fishing is slow, but don't care for beer until
late in the day unless I'm in a bar.
How do you secure your tacklebox?
Why Mexican beer?
What other mods are you planning?
I don't recall seeing a bimini.

Are you going to show us a picture every time a number changes on your

At least it's about boats.

John, I sincerely believe you could do the newsgroup a favor by
following a little less closely. I think Harry's foibles are pretty
well understood by most folks here without you and and a few others
making special efforts to point them out.

Lead by example.

Ah yes, his 'foibles' are kind of cute, aren't they? Hell, it's just Harry
being Harry.

invite a friend...

He's a commie

Right now he working on repairing that old malfunctioning brain of
his.
I don't recall seeing a bimini.
I think Harry has better pictures, he is just screwing with a couple
of the guys;) A channel marker, a breakwater, and frekin' bait
steelers, bait steelers sitting there, right in a line, ready for
slaughter. Somehow I seeing Harry pin them against the dock with his
pickup truc,,, oh, er, Parker, breaking their little bait steelin'
legs.

My tackle box is a tackle bag with four to five large plano containers
insider, and lotsa zip pockets. It stays put.

I prefer Mexican beers. I don't drink much, but when I do, it's either a
Mexican beer or some "girlie" drink like a margarita or pina colada. I
don't much like the taste of alcohol.

Not planning many mods. The bimini was folded up and in its storage
position against the front deck.

Hey...those are quality pictures, taken with my digital equivalent of a
Brownie Starflash.

I don't shoot or otherwise harm ducks. In fact, I sometimes dump out a
bag of corn for them.

I noticed the quality, that's how I know you had better ones
somewhere;)

I just reread my post looking for any mention of *cute*.

Can't find it.
