Well all things end--had big plans for my big Jeep--
bought it in '01 to tow my New Boat planned for '02.
Towed the Grumman as well as the Maritime like a champ-
Was going to fix it up - but @ 8 miles to the gallon plus in need of more TLC than I could give...it took a back seat to my "modern" Jeep XJ in '03 - hadn't really used it in 2 yrs...
Bought it for $500 in May '01- sold for a crappy $200 today...but it had to go quick- because tomorrow's my last day @ Marshall !!! -- 8yrs..
Atleast it went to another Jeep J-20 owner...a good home is worth the low price. Anything is better than teh Bone Yard.
43 degrees - overcast..
Have a cold but still needed to fix the cover on the boat.
water pooling in aft section badly---needed to fix the structure.
good thing I found those 2x2s in the Storage unit.
everything looks ok we'll see..maybe I got it right this time..
Well that's it 2007 season is @ a close....What a Great season.
36 trips on my faithful boat.
Got a new cover for the Cowl for storage.
Started @ 11 am and was done by 6pm
Not like last year ( 64ish and Christmas eve)
I'll have to change the motor oil is Spring...didn't have the oil..( 2.5 quarts)
Had to use just what I had around to get this done today...just enough old 2x4s to make my tarp teepee.
and I forgot all of my new Zuke parts @ home and my sweet new wife delivered them to me...So many new things happening.. just gave my 2 weeks @ work on the 6th as well..
-new job
-new wife
-new 1st house
all in the last 3mons.
Nice and mild today 45ish - made it a chilly but bright sunnny criap dec day.....had to get it all done now...because of the hectic time I'm in now...tomorrow may be to late...Boat covering done by 6
not sure if I missed anything..except greasin' the zerks..
Happy Christmas and a Merry New year...will be for me--start the New BM in ONe Month!
Had everything set to hit Moriches with Ad. - Up @ 4am
got a call form Ad... No Go 25 MPH + 30 degrees - incoming tide...not worth it.
Possible to hit the beach -----later?? nope still crappy.
Like a washing amchine.
So I headed to Sb - cleaned out the truck and released the eels...all in good shape swam away .
that's probally goin to be it....maybe one PB trip left - but my boats gotta go to bed as soon the weather leaves...
going to House inspect tomorrow..12pm.
