    Where were you???

    On 9-11? At work glued to the radio (no tv available). When Reagan was shot? Teaching a class and I was notified by a friend. When the Pope was shot? Once again teaching and told by a co-worker. When President Kennedy was shot? In Catholic school and we were led into group prayer.

    Sea Foam success story

    Someone gave me a pair of craftsman chainsaws (actually made by McCulloch) that were in sad shape. That was 5 years ago. The guy said one ran and would not stay running and the other would not run at all. I tossed them into the shed and forgot about them until yesterday. I took them apart...

    Fill in the blank - Settle or start a discussion.

    Outboard ____________________ Is the correct answer ENGINE? If so why? or Is the correct answer MOTOR? If so why? We go involved in a discussion today about this and I decided to ask the "boat educated" masses. Just to confuse the issue IMO it is an outboard motor that contains an engine.

    A Unique Impellar Failure

    God bless my water pressure gauge on my dash. I was out last night and all of a sudden I had eratic water pressure..... then it went to 0 psi!! I was near the ramp and took it home. At home I started the motor on muffs and no water.... shut it down (only ran for about 15 seconds). Dropped the...
