Absolutely.

This just gets better and better. If it were me I'd be moving into the garage and use the house for storage. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking "Geez, I wish I could do that."

Thanks for the vote of confidence guys! Speaking of which, mine took a bit of a hit this weekend. After loosening the belt more and making some carb adjustments, it became obvious that the low rpm issues I’m having is bigger than simple adjustments. In my (limited experience) opinion, that...

Great to read the journal again. If I need any trees taken down, you'll be getting a call.

The rotating throttle feature is new to me. Just shows how out of touch I am with modern sleds. Something you sharped-eyed guys probably noticed is that I did get the pan trim and bumper installed. The “bumper” is basically cosmetic but hopefully I won’t be running into any trees. A few more...

Nothing gets past you guys!:) I had to do several modifcations to the throttle lever to get the slides to bottom out, even with the cables adjusted all the way down in the caps. I had flipped ithe lever over to drill the cable seat deeper and I guess that, in the frantic activity of getting it...

Good progress on the cabin project has allowed me to spend a short amount of time in the shop with the Mutt. I knew the belt was waaaay too tight but I was pressed for time and I just wanted to see if it would fire. It’s a little boggy on the low end but perks up when the mains kick in. I’m sure...

Yesterday, this guy was feasting on a dead Muskie that had washed up on shore. Guess he came back for a refill today. Having two small dogs, my wife is not crazy about anything that will attract eagles so I decided to get rid of the fish yesterday. I assumed it was a fish that didn’t survive...

Agree about the feeling of fall Gary. Was sitting out on the deck tonight enjoying a cold one, taking in the fall colors and it really drove home the point that the summer of 2023 is pretty much in the books. I love summer and kind of hate to see it end but then, I feel the same way about winter...

Events such as the 9/11 attacks just seem to freeze details in memory that would otherwise be long forgotten. I remember being in 10th grade geometry class when we learned that JFK had been shot. I can still see the look on the teacher’s face when he came back in the room to give us the news. He...

Starting to get a real sense of the size of this project. It's big! Hats off to you for the progress you are making.

Hopefully your motor issue is minor. Like you said, maybe just a plugged fitting. Always wonder how long my impeller will last but it doesn't see a lot of sediment or sand so might last quite a while. When my friend was up we had a strange first day out as well. We found fish but they would...

HolyCow John! That's no branch, that's a tree. Glad to hear that you are on the way to recovering and will fully recover. Not sure if it was intentional but I got a chuckle out of your use of words in your statement that Gary posted. Out of the woods? Kind of an ironic description. Get Well!!!

You're a garage building machine, Mr., Clark. I've built a few garages as a solo effort but even in my prime I wouldn't attempt something like this. Excellent progress!

Yeah, it's unusual for our region. Wish there were more, very cool color combination.

Had a friend up fishing this week and we spent a few days chasing Lake of the Woods Walleye. Thought I’d post these next two photos, not because the fish are especially big but because of the different coloration. One is the typical greenish/light gold Walleye we get in this area while the...

Hooked up some of the electrical connections tonight. There is still some work to do on the lighting circuits and I need to clean up this rat’s nest with some zip ties and wire tubing but the important thing is that I’m now getting bright, blue spark on both cylinders. With carbs and fuel, she...

You couldn’t help but be in a better mood when you heard a Jimmy Buffett song. Loved his music and his lyrics. Probably my all time favorite lyric was: “Good times and riches and Son-of-a-B_____s, I’ve seen more than I can recall.” He will be missed.

Those 250’s are a sweet machine and in high demand in the vintage world. A few years back I was lucky enough to run across a pretty nice 79 at a very reasonable price ($600). It’s been a couple of years since I’ve had it out but I need to go through the carbs and get it back on the snow this...

Thanks Mr. E! Had to laugh at your new take on the lunar/solar tables. Have a friend up fishing now and the first afternoon was pretty good but I have to admit, for the most part, yesterday was tough. Made a lot of stops and burned a lot of gas but just a fish here and there. Then on the...
