Boy is it so nice after Labor Day. I just came in off the water after a short ride with no other boats. So peaceful and serene. Just me and my thoughts.

Shirty factory tires have awful wear at about 500 miles. Both sides look the same way.

doubling back on this one. the manufacturer looks to be fixing the issue and sent me a warranty email to complete.

That looks like an alignment issue or the boat is overweight.

Factory trailer with boat. Actually have photos from the dealer when the boat/trailer delivered on the semi as the dealer was just as shocked as we were when the boat delivered. Let’s see what happens…

Nice. Last holiday a guy decided to launch his boat between mine and another and bounced off of mine. [HASH=7708]#hollidaywarrior[/HASH]

Owners manual for my dads deer rifle that he gave away to a neighbor years ago because he thought my brother or I would not want it.

I know the feeling, after my dad passed, we came across the holster and several magazines for his service weapon. Found out from a neighbor that he sold it years ago, as that caused a big fight between he and my mom that the neighbor remembered - she wanted it to pass to me, he just wanted the memory gone. Understandable, but still...

Just spoke with the tire manufacturer. They are sending me two new tires under warranty and cover up to $45 in cost per tire to Mount and balance. Humanity is restored.

If not under inflated, which it should not be at that psi, then check the toe with a measuring tape. Measure at 3 o'clock and compare with 9 o'clock on the tire. Obviously measure the inside between the tires. If toed in it will wear the outside and if toed out it will wear the inside. Camber is measured at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. Positive camber will wear the outside and negative camber will wear the inside. Camber is more difficult to measure due to the top of the tire being enclosed in a fender. I have an old Alemite toe bar that my dad has used since the 70's. Very similar to this. SPC Performance Toe Measuring Gauge 39 In.-60 In. 99374
I know, it does not do you any good sitting in my garage. A picture works too...

@zipper thank you for the detailed imagery. I want to see if our local tire shop can determine if I have a problem or not.

Found another goodie today. This was in the scrap bay at work. Pulled the cord and it wouldn’t move so I turned the blade by hand, set it back down and gave the cord a pull and it fired right up. Brought it home, checked it over, greased the wheel shafts, gave it a bath and mowed a test plot with it. Blade is sharp and it mows great. 2020 model and self propelled.

That’s a $150+ gain IMO

“…and mowed a test plot with it.”

I LOL’ed pretty hard at this one. Pro dad move!

It could be the last time on the AR192. So I had to make it special

Damn and I thought two at the same time would be great!

Job brought me to Perrysburg OH today. Really cool little town. Anyone from around here? See a 242 at the boat club.

Agree Perrysburg is a nice place. My grandparents lived in Port Clinton Ohio not far away. My grandpa, uncle and stepdad all had our charter boats in Port Clinton. If you have an opportunity to go, check it out.

My wife has spent a month or more in Port Clinton in the last couple of years at https://canvastraining.com/ for her marine canvas business.

One of my uncles is the master mechanic at Marine Max Catawba. He has a 26’ Penn Yan convertible and we had a 28’ Bertram convertible. If you guys can ever plan the walleye drop for new years, I highly suggest you do it.
