Good Morning NTOWS - Happy Thursday

[Bill Hamilton]

Good morning everyone. Zero dark early here at Anna and can't sleep due to a bad cold. Figured I get to post the morning call before anyone else.



Gettin' the boat back tomorrow (today) from the shop where they had to replace the water pump / impeller. Engine overheat alarm so I shut it off and had to wait for the shop to get to it. They had over 400 (yes, 400) boats to winterize and they are now down to 40 to go. Average price for winterization is $250 - 400 so they did alright except that they couldn't get to my boat for two weeks.



I pulled the lower unit down to see if I could replace it myself but the impeller was seized on the shaft, key was gone and it was more than I wanted to tackle.



Eveyone have a great day and Happy New Year.

Morning all, moving slow this AM. Nice today, but colder soon. In the 20's this weekend early, and only to the 40's during the day. Our winter has been really strange so far.

[Bill Hamilton]

Gunny - I never touch the stuff but I appreciate the thought! Just come on down and enjoy yourself on Saturday.

 

[Carlos Hathcock III]

How bad was it Bill?



You feelign better?



Sue is sick now too..and jsut before I leave for Hawaii too....

 

[Ken Neeley]

Gunny,

Are you doing the CSI show in Minneapolis?

 

[JD Johnson]

Bill B, are you having a relapse or just an illness that you need sleep to combat? We will keep the prayers headed your way.

Carlos - Not too bad. The impeller was seized on the shaft and they had to cut it away. Both sides of the water pump units were ruined due to heat. They fixed everything, changed the lower gear lube (no water or metal). Water pressure is better than it ever was. $200 bucks wasn't too bad after almost 4 years. That's all the service I have had done on the boat since I bought it. Of course, that doesn't include all the stuff I do as routine maintenance. I am not going to complain.



Feeling a little better but just a lousy chest / sinus cold.



If Sue is sick why don't you just take her to Hawaii with you so she can get some R&R in the beautiful islands. Too much TAD without your bride is not good for you. You didn't spend as much time away when you were in uniform.
