Boy the temps here have been perfect(N. CA.)low 80's and supposed to be 85 tomorrow! Had to get boat out and ready! Put gas tank in(few mo. old gas premix synthetic) and started right up(2 stroke 40 Merc). Had to crank her up a bit to get warm, but boy she purrs! Had water ears on and peein like a tall horse on a flat rock:) Got trollin/tach batt. slow chargin at 2 amps/12 volts. Let her run for maybe 1/2 hour to make sure main batt. good charge(Is that enough?)She did crank right up from main batt. Just wanted to share :) There just may be a sick day in for me this week :) Heinz

Another 4 - 8" of snow forecasted for today and tonight!<br /><br />Looks like a couple more weeks before we can even think about taking the covers off of our boats!<br /><br /> ENOUGH OF THIS SNOW !!! <br /><br />I envy everyone living in a warm climate today, but just for today!

Thanks for confirming it Kenny, I was hoping it was a figment of my imagination. We'll be seeing it in about 3 hours :mad:

Yeah gaugeguy,<br /><br />It's heading your way!<br /><br />It's really snowing hard here!<br /><br />1 1/2" of snow on the ground already!<br /><br />And, it's only been snowing for about an hour or so!<br /><br />And by the way, Figment, is the only Disney character I ever liked!
