Discouraged No More

Post by rfrye94760 »

She's back in her slip as of 7:00pm Thursday evening. Backed down the ramp lowered the OBM started up and it turned right off. I've never been so happy to hear a motor quit. Also, as I was driving down the street coming up on the launch parking lot I said to a buddy who was with me, "Dude, there's another Mac in the parking lot!" It was the "Isla" I believe, a beautiful 26X. Met the owner, Roger, and had a nice conversation about our boats. Very cool

Tech. at Main Marine and Ski found a couple flecks of plastic or fiberglass in the harness plug in at the motor. Blew things out plugged it back in and good to go. Must have been interfering with the ground.

Stop this. Stop this now.

I am going to count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached

then you will be in big trouble mister!

:D
