[mickyryan]

I’m a 2 or 3 a month kind of beer drinker .
other than that every once in a while my son makes a really good whisky sour .

 

[kcassells]

All good! Personally in regards to alcohol and drugs I respect everyones position.
Heck if it weren't for alcohol the Irish would have ruled the world.

 

[zool]

I will continue to indulge myself and I will continue doing my best in the good fight against and dry rot and rust.

I could sit and drink a quart of liquor in an evening (not every night lol) when I was younger - doesn't have any appeal for me anymore. Now I'll have 2-3 ales a month.

Use a good camera, get a really short depth of field, keep the background mess out of focus...

I’m a 2 or 3 a month kind of beer drinker .
other than that every once in a while my son makes a really good whisky sour .

I have a good recipe for that:
1. put two ice cubes in a tumbler
2. cover with whisky
3. forget everything else and just drink that!

 

[kcassells]

What...I keep coming here thinkin I missed pics?

 

[mickyryan]

ok so was holding off to get some pics of finished stuff but i willl explain what i have been doing
1 all gas lines ran including a gas tank drain i installed on the transom,
installed a water/winterizing drain on transom as well
still need to install the oil drain on transom but i did make a nice adapter out of brass pipe, i threaded one end to be same threads as oil pan
got the engine wired with a electric fuel pump and a low oil pressure switch to cut off fuel when oil pressure is low, also put a primer button on dash previously so if boat sits awhile i can press button and prime fuel system
finished wiring to the bow for the batteries and made the floor of battery area out of starboard and sealed it in
engine bay is fully wired except for i want to put single wire alternator 100 amp on and need to wire blower and bilge pump after it drys and is set"used 5200 to bed it down"

today i finished wiring on engine and trim pump and installed outdrive , replaced water pump on outdrive as well , fired engine up it cranked right up and ran flawlessly except the exhaust
riser felt hot, now i had checked the elbow and exhaust manifold all were like new, remember this guy had a exhaust flap stuck in his lower elbow so he had replaced a ton of parts trying to figure out problem, anyways i took outdrive off ran hose revered to be sure no debris then i checked thermostat and guess what none there, hmm could be the problem so i ordered one and have plenty of stuff to finish before it gets here
oh yeah here is some pics , dont judge i know my area is a mess i been working 9pm to 4am on it and haven't cleaned up
