Thank you for the compliment on painting guide. I would not call it rambling. There is more to refurbishing a boat then just batching holes and painting. Getting around obstacles be it aches and pains, hail storms, and disabled equipment is just as much a part of a long refurbishing job. The important thing is we stay on it until the day comes when we catch our first fish from the boat. That day my friend is around the corner for both of us.

Yes sir...............persistence and patience will win the day!!

It has been a very good day Just ordered a 2024 Tohatsu 6 HP MFS6DWS. Comes with a 3.1 gas tank and supply line. Only cost $1590.18. They only come in one color which is white. Hit three lady's on a two bet dollar machine. Only spent $20.00 dollars. Before we left the house told wife lets go win a boat motor and she laughed. Am on cloud nine right now just can not believe it.

It was just about seven months ago I hit $2,000.00 at the same casino on the same machine and bought a little over $1,000.00 in paint supplies. That jackpot cost me $40.00 dollars to win. Split that one with wife. That is are rule of thumb to split winnings. This time she said it is yours buy the outboard. We go once a month with $100.00 apiece. Usually right after getting are social security checks. Average over a years time is about $500.00 profit between the two of us. This year has been good. Real Good.

Got the boat out of the shed and sitting on the platform by the front porch. Weather should be fair for the next four to five days and plan on finishing the paint job. Need to get shed organized again and get ready to cut some wood up. I found a good source for hardware for the transom. Local hardware store which is privately owned has everything I need at a good price. They even have the vinyl washers. Outboard was shipped today so I need to get hot and build a stand for it.

Where is all the white stuff ?? We got covered in a blanket of snow yesterday and last night....woopee !!

 

[sonny1]

To cold today but for the next seven days we will enjoy High sixties to low seventies temperature. No rain at all in forecast much less snow. Looking real good. I have a lot of respect for those of you in the North. I despise snow. We do get some snow in Oklahoma but no were near what you all get.

Last night went back to casino so wife could participant in halloween costume contest. I did not want to go. After a long night got home and started to count money. I had money stuffed everywhere. T-shirt pocket, Sweatpants pockets and Jacket pockets. Had hit a few times but nothing major. She counted her money and had $1050.00 dollars. I counted mine and had $1500.00 dollars. Told her straight up this morning we are done with the casinos until next month period. She agreed. Offer made and I accepted. I now have $2550.00 for a brand new trailer for the boat. I Guess I need to show a symbol on the boat that the Creek Nation paid for it. Our luck has been amazing. The Indian casinos are well-known for not paying out. We had $400.00 dollars left over from Outboard purchase so I took her out to a steak dinner prior to visit to casino. Went into casino with $150.00 dollars apiece. Never hit a taxable jackpot. Just amazed and HAPPY.

Looks like it shaping up really nice! Got my 12 footer painted too now and the trailer on order.........like you shopping for a motor next.

Outboard will be delivered today. Wife is in route for a new hot water heater. Thank god I had a pan under it. Heard a drip noise coming out of hot water closet while using the bathroom this morning. Sure enough it was leaking. No water damage caught it in time. Can't leave the house because we have to sign when motor is delivered. Life goes on.

Coming along nicely !! What type of motor are you seeking ? New ? Used ? Fast ? Slow ? Elect. or Gas ?
Love to see the inside of it as well !!
Keep up the great work, sir & God bless !!
Sincerely ...........

Sure glad I stayed home vice going after the water heater. Opened and inspected prior to signing for delivery. Looking good. Pretty quick ordered late on the 30th and here it sits on the 2th. Going to leave it in the box until we are done with boat and trailer. Then we will set it up in water and run at idle for 10 minutes. Then off to a lake.

Yes I did. They had the best price and free shipping. Was afraid of slow shipping. Wish motorcycle parts came in that quick. Very happy with purchase. 2023 were not going at this price much less a 2024.
