    Good point about the muffs. I'll be sure to use a barrel for testing.

    I. Don't. Know. 🤷‍♂️ If it were possible, would that give me enough "off" time for the siren while waiting for the engine to pull and circulate enough water to turn it off normally?

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    My bud ran a little late but made it this morning and we got the trim/tilt gauge calibrated. Yay! 😁(y) I'm "guessing" that the fuel sender is okay. When I turn the key on, it jumps to 1/2 full, which should be close. When we splashed it a year ago, I added 10 gallons to the tank, which...

    I love the smell of sealcoat in the morning

    Yeah, I really should have done the sealcoat two years after asphalt installation. I'm glad I finally got it done, late or not. I was thinking that this would be a good project to put on a subscription service. Pay a little every month and after 18 months or so, receive a notification to...

    I love the smell of sealcoat in the morning

    I got my driveway paved in August 2021. And finally got it seal coated all these years later. :LOL: I'd actually planned on "doing it myself" with the help of the boy, but after calculating the material and tool costs, plus what I'd have to pay helpers, it was actually a little cheaper to...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    My buddy got back to me and I took the mower over to his place. He put the deck belt back into place while I was sitting there talking with him. Didn't even know he'd completed the job. I got the grass cut just fine after that. My friend used to do a lot of property cleanup jobs for folks and...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    I went out at 0730 this morning to cut the grass, but the deck belt came off my JD 150 riding mower. Waited for my buddy to wake up, then sent a message asking for help. And he's also supposed to help me with the boat this weekend. Still waiting. 🤪 Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I contacted...

    And for me with the Kingfisher, it was the number of hospital trips.

    Oh yeah, I'm also fighting Cogon grass, one of the worst top ten invasive grasses in the world. It can have 3 tons of underground rhizomes per acre! I feel like I'm fighting the giant plant from outer space from the movie "The Little Shop of Horrors!"

    And here I am again. Have done even more outside work, including laying 2 pallets of new sod by the new front steps and nearby area. Still have more sod to buy and lay. The boy is out of state now, so more sod will wait until his return. And plenty of indoor work got done too. Day after...

    Wow, what a load of stuff you've been through. It all passes and you're obviously getting on with life. Congrats on the new home!

    1979 starcraft super sport cable steering to hydraulic steering

    I installed (well, my buddy did) Uflex hydraulic steering last year in my 1997 Mirrocraft. It has a Merc 150hp XR6 that came off a bass boat with dual cable steering. It was a straightforward installation, except my bud had the controls reversed! :LOL: I figured it out before launching. We...
