Fueled and ready to go....

[blueh20pc]

Spent all weekend tyding up the boat, and am ready to go...

Well, not so ready, while hooking up the trailer tonight after the kids went to bed, I had no lights, at all. The fuse on the armada blew, so I replaced it with a 15 amp, turned the running lights on, no lights, and touched the ground wire and she was getting reallllly hot. I've got a bad positive somewhere. I'll figure it out wednesday.

I turned the lights off, disconnected the trailer, and towed it with no lights through the back streets to the gas station. 3.88 per gallon here on the beach. I needed about 50 gallons. Ouchy. Fortunately that's 2 trips for me.

I got a draggin brake pad also. Wonderful.

I'll figure the lights out wednesday when it's a lay day.

But the boats full of petrol, scrubbed down, everything tested, ice is in the freezer, kids are asleep and I'm going to go to bed and dream of big tunafish.

See you guys at the dock.

You suck!

Bluewater called last week to get my cc number to fill mine up, 200 gallons worth. I didn't even ask what the $/gal was. Sometimes ignorance is best.

See you Thursday!

You do suck. Tell you what. I'll put that 50 gallons in your boat. You fill mine up. I'm probally looking at 70-80 gallons to top mine off. And I'll probally burn 60-70 in one trip. Wanna deal??

Fortunately, I keep a gas can in the pickup, and on the way home from work every week or so, I get a 5 gallon can of premium and top it off. Tends to spread out the cost of filling up over the year.

I know I know, I should keep the tank full, but it makes it so much more bearable, when I only add 20 bucks a week to it.

The boat holds 120, and I'll burn 50 a trip, so I'm full now, and will have to reload on the way home. maybe top off after the first day at the marina.

ANd Fruition,

A good friend told me a few years back that you like to go fast, and do'nt know how to find the GPH gauge on your instruments.
