Dumb Winterizing Question

[DawgFish 65]

Hey all...



I know it's a bit early, but I wanted to ask this before I forget. When you winterize your boat/motor, is it OK to leave oil in the enigine resevoir? Thanks!

Should be "reservoir". Sorry, my fingers have been drinking.

 

[DawgFish 65]

Oh yeah, ignore the spare "i" in engine as well. Apparently, the rest of me has been drinking too.

 

[Bob G.]

Yes. I usually top mine off. I was raised (although not properly) in PA and it can't be winter already!!

What's the Winterizing thing again??? Oh that's right, just make sure you don't take the boat out of the garage the 2 days it snows!!! LOL

 

[Rob LaMoy]

HAAAAAAAAA! You funny Trepper. I've had Mac practicing his naked ritual snow dance all summer just for you! I hear it's going to be a record cold in GA this winter! With LOTS of snow! And when the Gov declares a state of emergency because of a measely little 3" on the ground, we're calling Tom Brokaw to announce to ALL GA residents, that it's all YOUR fault! LOL

Cast the lure, fast retrieve and BAM a HUGE Northern took the bait!!! Rob's HOOKED!!! Trolling, Trolling, Trolling!



I can't WAIT for the cold weather, you know morning in the 40's, got all my BPS supplied Striper Trolling gear gonna try for my first Striper out of the Tracker!!

 

[Rob LaMoy]

40's. cold! Ha, we PRAY for 40 in Feb. YOU WANT cold Mr. I'll GIVE YOU COLD! "Hello IBM, you need to transfer Trepster up to Burlington VT for January." Yeah -20f, that'll freeze your scrawny butt in a hurry! And that's without wind chill. Whataya think Buzz, take Trep ice fishing this winter and stick him on a bucket? LOL I'll just bring it down with me when I come in December Trep! Just for YOU!

[Rob LaMoy]

[TrepMan]

Shhhh, don't tell my boss!



Yes, I work for Big Blue. Long story, too much detail, been here going on 2 years Sept 30th (close to a record for me in longevity, 15 years 7 companies never fired always better job more money, and REAL LUCKY!!).



Work internal IT Managing a group that develops Lotus Notes and Web software for the Sales groups in Strategic Outsourcing. Best job i've EVER HAD - I work from home 100% so no matter how BAD a day it is, ZERO Commutte and only 10 seconds from my cold BEER!

Bob G - I do NOT work for the Lotus side! I happen to agree, Notes 5.0 not UNLIKE EVERY Windows version required more memory, disk space and faster processor!!
