Watched a beautiful 8 point buck chasing some does in the back field. We hit 30 and frost.

Went from the second hottest ever October to colder than normal in two days. Got hoses pulled, pumps drained etc etc

So, I finally took a few pics of our new boat. Well, the engine has 44 hours on it so, not quite new. It moves right along. Probably about 60. I put it up to 45 and the wife shut me down. It's low profile so, it seemed like 100. I also took a pic of the canal that borders our property. It's super wide for a canal. This was taken 2 miles from our property, which is where the lock is to enter Lake Okeechobee.
200HP 6 cylinder motor
2 live wells with pumps to fill and an aerator for each.
trolling motor
2 large fish finders/gps
Actual gas pedal
Stereo
The bow and stern seats go up much higher than pictured.
2 poles on each side of the engine w/ remote Push down twice, and they swing out and drop to the bottom up to about 12 feet, to anchor the boat. Push up twice and they come all the way back up. You can also do it manually, to go partially up or down.

Nice boat!

We are still waiting on our new old boat. The mechanic that has worked on it for years, wife had surgery, so all has gotten delayed. A new oil cooler had to be put on it was leaking. A delay to get the cooler a delay to put in And a 8 hour trip to schedule to bring it down from NJ to MD. Not scheduled yet.

Used my kubota to tow our 92 firebird Transam down the drive. We are giving it to my nephew in law. He is so excited! It needs some love. Moving slow with good strapping it towed down so nicely. Sitting now for transport pickup. We got it down to the top of our driveway slope, letting the transport guys get it down that steep slope onto the trailer.

A 200 hp in a light boat like a nitro i bet you'd hit 70 and yes that on water feels and is very fast in a open boat . dont let the 5 year old nephew get in the wind suddenly at that speed.

Took a ride last week with two guys half my age to the skyline . It's the second trip we took and they told me they didn't want to go earlier in the year because they thought the old man would ride like an old man on a lazyboy on two wheels. The old man surprised the youngins they kept up at times but they were on bikes half the weight of mine.

Tail of the dragon is a road you don't want to find yourself on it's 318 turns in 11 miles and it is dangerous for many reasons they finaly banned tractor trailers and large campers from the road. it's 129 in Tennessee. a 280,000 dollar ferrari was just in the papers down there just last month ON IT'S ROOF every time I have been there someone is off the road, bring taken away in semblance, or donating parts to the tree of shame . After the ferrai we're going to need to find another tree.

My hubby loved buying cars, fixing them up then slowly age has hit. Hated selling. Now we find them just sitting around. I used to drive this one a real sweet ride. Detagged it when we got something else. I told him we have too many nice cars to drive so we should remove the sitting around cars

Only 77k miles on it. Have another 92 firebird transam, it may go the same way to someone that will give it love.

So far I have convinced him to remove two corvettes, one to his sons ex wrestling coach, one a friend of his son, two harleys, one to a son, the firebird, we gave his wife, my niece, my prius, not driving that much since I got the stinger. Shipped it to GA where they live. Now he is getting the firebird and can't wait to start working on it.

Oh and gave our neighbors sister a old VW bug, her truck broke and no funds to buy another.
