Well, this is what I saw Friday. Let's just say, it was a bone head move on my part but everyone involved was OK.
Not a good day to say the least.

When the first serious boyfriend comes over to pick her up just do this. When he opens the door toss him a shotgun shell, then once he looks at you tell him the next one will be coming a hell of a lot faster if he does anything stupid or hurts your baby!!

Well... guess my boating season is over...

Ignore the shrinkwrapped boat that has been parked on my lower lot for months.

Hope that is it. Around here we seem to have a lot of starting capacitor failures.

Same here. I paid for that repair ONCE (I think it was like 175.00 visit on the weekend. He left me the bad one and I bought a spare. When the compressor won't kick on, I install the spare and buy another one. I know I've done that at least 4 times since i've had that unit about 10 years.

Looking for squirrels....

Finally upgraded the house toolbox. Traded in 4 other boxes. Ironically enough, it's the exact same box I used to own for work (4 years ago), and still had some of my stickers on it. 84" Cornwell Custom.

My office has turned into a shipping center for the last two weeks, sending Xmas gifts to troops in Afganistan. We are just taking turns, I think this is the last batch!

Camouflaged 242 in my back yard. The shrink wrap blends right in with the the snow.

No more work this year. Time for the season pass to pay for itself

So it begins finally. I think the switch and circuit breaker needed replacing. Also why non marine wire and fastners are bad.

That is the plan. The switch crumbled when unscrewed and there was no nut or thread left on the circuit breaker. It will look pretty and new when I'm done and scrub the bilge some too and check all wires and fittings.

Looks like you will need to borrow @Mainah's tinning cauldron, hahaha.

Nothing fancy, just a jetboil with 1/4" aluminum plate and a large copper pipe cap with solder in it. Works fast.

Another ski day at a different resort today, I'm lucky enough to live within 1 1/2 hours of 4 resorts, my season pass allows me to ski 3 of them.

@veedubtek That is a beautiful Thing. It brings back back childhood memories from 40+ years ago. As my fathers gopher in his garage we had many scenes similar. We shortened a karman ghias floor pan by 11" and placed a hand laid fiberglass dune buggy body on it. It had a 356c engine with big mods and a tortion bar he made at IBM. Rear mods also on transaxle to keep on the asphalt. Even with street tires it took fastest time of day at an SCCA race at a 1/3 mile oval, beat some pretty impressive cars and had a lot of people looking under it after. So what happened to that beautiful thing? Engine or tranny?
