    What engine do I have?

    Just acquired an engine yesterday. May not be keeping it, but I'd like to know what it actually is. It has an Evinrude cowling, but the bracket plate apparently doesn't agree. :sneaky: From what I've been able to find from the Model number thus far, the engine is actually an 85HP 1978...

    Nobody fishing?

    Hahaha! Creative! :LOL: We haven't taken the KF out yet this year, but hope to do so soon. The weather has been cold/warm, cold/warm this winter due to El Nino. The boat has been cleaned, but I still want to do a couple of touchups before we head out. Fishing from the bank has been great...

    Just a reminder that summer will be here soon...

    We've had turkeys in our yard a few times lately. Very unusual. Then again, there's a major housing development going on nearby and they're likely being crowded out.

    OK I’ve had enough.

    It's full on springtime here. The grass has already been cut once, the bass are spawning, the trees are budding and we're having our first springtime thunderstorm right now. We started cleaning the boat and nearly finished before the rain came. Very nice! (y):cool:

    Nobody fishing?

    We went fishing a couple days ago at "The ol' fishin' hole." I caught a nice 2 1/2 pounder and missed a few others. My wife caught a nice little bass and a catfish. The boy hooked a good bass, then lost it when he had reel problems. He tried to bring it in by hand, but it broke...

    Hybrid Vehicles

    I have a buddy who drives for a living. He picks up medical stuff from a location and delivers it to a hospital somewhere. He uses the "company car" for the job and often times it's a Toyota Prius hybrid. At first he was wary, but now he loves the thing. It has over 450,000 miles on it and...

    Dang man. :confused: I understand about health and life problems. It's really tough and sometimes we have to make hard decisions in order to move on. You're doing what you need to do. Best of luck to you and stay strong! :cool:

    What is this?

    Underwater lights have been a trend for quite awhile now. While some are functional (like for fishing) others are purely decoration. Like cars & trucks with underbody or wheel well lights. :rolleyes:

    Found a new fishing hole

    It's a small sinkhole, about 50 yards in diameter and close to home. We didn't have our regular equipment with us, but my wife did catch a couple dozen bluegills which she released. We'll definitely go back. :cool: The drop off seems to go down about 20 feet, using the count down method.

    Tad bit windy today ...

    Yeah, that major front moved through here yesterday and we have several roof shingles missing today. Fortunately, I know how to deal with that. We're fortunate because south and east of here there were tornadoes.
