3 Yamaha's in a row outside of Cincinnati today. I have no idea who the other drivers are, we all arrived at different times.20200906_175724(1).jpg
 
BTW that mansion I posted is Richard Scrushy's former lake home before he was indicted and spent time in federal prison. It is in a high dollar subdivision called Willow Point which has its own airport and nearby golf course. The 6-lot home was constructed at around $18M. It sold about a decade ago at auction for $7.4M and the airplane hangar sold for $435k. It's hard to tell from my pics but there were 2 badass old school wooden speed / cruiser boats in the boat garages.

... and for @biglar155 those chairs and bench in the pic above have no complaints or volunteers to dress them up, and here's some other examples of "cottage furniture", the daybed/couch was due to necessity (custom mattress for the space), the pantry/rack is to allow easy removal of that stuff when we start removing the drywall behind it and remodeling, and the bunk beds are full/double top AND bottom, to give us room to store crap in that room while the rest of our remodeling projects are underway and still allow us to have guests - we've got 10 bodies in a 750 sq ft house thisweekend

Normally I’d agree with you but I’ve owned this trailer since 2010 and it’s always had trailer tires. I didn’t start experiencing problems with them until this season. One change I’m starting to regret is upgrading to “better” trailer tires (Higher load and speed ratings, even calls for higher cold tire pressure) a few years ago. Plus a new rim and better tire were just delivered. Now I have two standard tires on white painted rims and two “better” tires on galvanized rims. Basically I’ve got two spares instead one one. I won’t be replacing these tires and rims unless three of them go bad at close to the same time.
Sounds like the trailer alignment is off??
 
I spend all my time building stuff for other people and not enough time building stuff for myself... It's gratifying designing something, building it and seeing it completed in person. But dealing with ornery pretentious people can take the fun out of it real quick.

Here one of our latest completed projects. Rift cut white oak with black painted island and hood.

My wife gave birth to our baby boy on Thursday and we brought him home from the hospital today. We are looking forward to the adventure of being parents together. Weekend on the lake is spoiled now but there will be plenty of time in the future. Lol

Last Sunday my son and I fueled the jets and the vehicles that tow them. It’s was an expensive day but worth it. I did it again a few days later in preparation for winter storage (I fill the tanks before stabilizing the fuel).

OUCH!!!! I know the feeling but the $$ spent is well worth the time on the water.

I just filled the truck and 5 cans up for the same $$ but got just over 52 gallons last night
