Finished Winterizing the 3-way valve and overboard discharge thruhull valve for the head, on a short trip South yesterday.





Covered up the bow. The leaves will stop falling soon.



They are packing the boats into the yard.



They need to finish scraping barnacles off the hull of that big trawler.

I intended to do the same, but it was 31* when I got up.

After 24 years of playing golf, got my first Ace this morning. #8, 136 yds, 50 degree wedge. Right at it, 2 hops and rolled in.

Opened up a bar tab for the bar area. I think I closed it at around $400, but honestly.....this morning I can't quite remember.

Congrats! I am trying for #2 but those odds are pretty slim.

Love the Vice Pro Plus. I started playing them a few months ago.

 

[BigN8]

Agree, I've been playing the Vice Pro Plus for about 2 years now. Perfect level of spin for my game, plus I feel like this ball goes further than others I have played.
What a crazy day yesterday. Hole #4 is a 160yd par 3 over water. I was 3' from the pin on that hole and made the birdie putt. Then I birdied #7, then the Ace on #8, and par'd the longer par 4 #9 which is hard on most days to par. I finished the front 9 with a 37 due to the double bogey I had on #6. I fell apart somewhat on the back 9, I was amp'd up so much from the Ace, plus the Fireball shots started to kick in! Still won $185 in the day game and right now if no more skins happen before the end of the year I've got $950 coming to me for the 6 Month skins game which is called the Big Boy Board. It's a $50 buy in for each 6 Months. One guy has an Eagle on #3, and my Ace on #8 so we are splitting the pot right now. I put a bounty on his skin yesterday in the clubhouse and told everyone in the bar if someone could cover his skin on #3 with an Eagle and take him off the board I'd pay them $250!!

Recreational boating season is over here in Norcal but related boat billing is a year round thing. Annual membership to boat u.s. is only $170 but I remember when it was $55. Boat insurance increased 50% over last year to $1,350ish but I did claim and get paid out on a broken windshield. It’s difficult for me to justify paying the annual insurance bill in full when the boat just went into storage for the next six months or so. I’m pretty sure it won’t sink or be involved in a collision in the backyard.

We pay $50 a month for boat insurance and that covers the boat and trailer at a total loss if it cannot be fixed. With that we also get on the water towing from any local towing company covered 100% and some additional roadside features for the trailer. I was originally skeptical as it was so cheap and our car insurance is astronomical in the same county. I guess they figure an accident is less likely on the water than on the road. Then again, I pick my boat up Wednesday from my insurance claim when it got swamped. I’m sure California is much more expensive across the board on most if not everything from what I hear.

We had a pretty early cold snap for NC, and then a really nice warm/hot snap. So, I grabbed the boat really quick on the last "warm" day of the snap to do a test fit for the impact graphics and to ship those back to jetboatpilot. My boat is beyond taken care of and the graphics are peeling up in several places on a lot of the graphics. I figured I can still get the OEM graphics, but they obviously suck and I'm what you'd call just an ok vinyl installer. And by OK I've done it a handful of times for jetskis and such. Didn't really wanna futz with 6'+ long graphics and them likely to peel up in a few years anyways....at best. Not to mention the cost differential between the impact graphics and these were neglible with an easier install.

This is why they do the test fits cause I have ballast overflow vents on both sides which were not accounted for in their original template it seems. So I taped over that with painters tape and traced it with a sharpie.

Headed back to storage. The temps dropped by nearly 10* from when I started just a few hours before.

Impact graphics came in. I think they did an amazing job. My wife isn't a fan and thinks they're too showy, but I don't think they're any worse than the factory ones. I love em!

At first glance the title peeked my interest, after further reading, they were talking about planets…

Got sick of waiting for a plumber to run my water line from the meter to inside the building and over the overhead door to the other side to an outside spigot.
Got a referral for a reputable guy and he looked at it and said no problem. That was 2 months ago. So i told him forget it. I will do it myself.
Dug the 40 foot trench 1 foot deep and buried the 1 inch main line with my shutoff next to the meter in my own box. Pushed into the building and ran all my 3/4 lines to the spigot.
Was easy and i saved over a grand by doing it myself. And started 8 this morning and was done by lunchtime
I hate relying on anyone for crap that i am better off doing myself

Why do I get the feeling that you have $1000 in stand mixers scattered around the property? You're already over halfway there just in that pic!
