I have been running back and forth from the local sporting goods/hardware store to buy supplies for my evinrude restoration project......<br /><br />Today they were putting out all the outboard accesories, new trolling motors, boats, plastic tanks, and most importantly the marine grease I haven been waiting for. I bought too much. Have enough oil for the whole year, enough lower unit lube for twice the motors I have, and enough grease to fill a few trailers' hubs. NOW I know its really spring :D

Re: Its about time

Yeah, the color of green is starting to take over my yard. Its funny how the weeds start growing first. Wife doesn't want me to put the boat in this year, says I need to get more done to the house this spring/summer.<br /><br />I told her I need to get the boat in the water so that I can catch my share of the fish before others do. . . . Nope, she didn't believe me for one second. Oh how I'm going to miss those scantly claded women at the marina. <br /><br /> :(
