Tom... let me know when you throw those keys in the mail and I'll keep an
eye peeled for 'em.
I'm thinking of stowing the Johnson in my shed this fall/winter.

I'm really sorry Don - I zoned out again on that. The envelope is
sitting on the front seat of my truck.

I'm off to the PO right now.

Tom..did you say the keys were on their way?
Nothing in this mornings mail. Maybe your Homeland Insecurity is keeping an
eye on you and testing them.

Mailed them a week ago yesterday along with the sonar manual. I
shouldn't think it would take more than a week to get there from here.

I blame...

I have to changeout the trailer safety chain 'S-hooks' for something else.
Mechanic says those things were dumped 2/3 years ago up here.

Really.

Interesting - that's pretty standard on most trailers.

What do they have to be replaced with?

One little bulb gone also in the right side marker... rear lens assembly.
They can be tough here.

Normal maintenance. Probably not the bulb - just remove the lens
cover and reinsert the bulb.

At least in California, you have to have retainers on the chain hooks. Boat
places sell a small rubber clip that works for about a buck each.

That's interesting.

P/N SC1448

"Safety chains provide additional assurance by securing the trailer to the
tow vehicle."

Looks like something Gene would over engineer.

That whole rig doesn't even weigh 1,000 lbs.
