Long ago, when I was in high school, I worked at a country club as a valet for parking cars. I got to drive a lot of different vehicles. Way back then, diesel cars that came in were load, rough and smokey [particulates were heavy unlike gasoline combustion]. The other annoying thing was having...

I was out riding my bike last night checking out everybody's Xmas lights and I was surprised to find a gas station that sells 90 octane Non-ethanol gas for $4.39/Gal. I was surprised to see this. If it's still available next season, I'll use it.

It was in the other forum where a Corn Growers Association member posted, "We have the right to sell our product." My response was, "You have the right to sell your product but you're forcing a product onto the market where nobody wants it but still has to pay for it." We are getting screwed...

I don't even see why they are trying to push this crap when this Admin is trying to push electric vehicles on us. I recall discussions about this in the old forum. My guess is the Corn Holers ASSociation.

I’m so glad I put the boat into storage last week. It is currently snowing enough that it is starting to stick. Nothing like lake effect snow.

In the past I have always used EZ ON-EZ OFF. Works great. Just wondering if vinegar would do the same.

Does vinegar replace the acid bath?

I finally got around to posting my video to youtube. This is my second last run passing the Port Abino Lighthouse on Lake Erie. It was a nice day and it good to have the border open.

Well, it’s official. My boating season is officially over. I winterized the engine this morning and got the voltage gauge working again then buttoned up and delivered to storage. See you in 6 months. This is the methodology to winterizing my boat. It looks crazy but it actually works well.

The last day. Wind is picking up as the next weather system approaches. So I’m “hiding” in my little cove next to Bethlehem Steel. The wind farm in the background.

Yeah, this summer wasn't the greatest. The Canandian forest fire smoke restricted my use many times. The winds and waves were annoying this year. These conditions are what governed whether I felt like trailering down to the ramp and back. If my boat were in a slip, I probably would have doubled...

I was able to check on the boat and the good book shows 21 times I took it out.

The logbook is in the boat which is in a temporary storage area. I don't know how many times I've actually taken the boat out for a ride. But with taking a ride on the Erie Canal a couple of times, puts a big chunk time on the clock for a single outing. I'll have to check this coming week...

While this weekend is looking like trash, the weather upcoming next week is looking fairly nice for this time of year. I will likely take my last run on Tuesday and then change the oil and winterize. Then to storage next weekend. I will have put on approximately 50 hours this season.

I almost never like coming home especially now that I don’t have a slip.

Those kinda waves cause a lot of damage. The Army Corp of Engineers; or it contractor, just finished repairing our outer break walls. Damaged from last years wild weather. I wonder what this year will bring.

The photo was taken the day before. Yesterday the weather was also nice up until later afternoon as the weather system moved east. Today, its raining. The next round of nice weather looks like next Wednesday and Thursday. But I plan on going south into Pennsylvania and do some much needed bike...

I was out yesterday which maybe the last time out. Kinda cold but it was nice. We entered Canada for several miles and then returned. Did not stop. We passed the Point Abino lighthouse and Sherkston beach. The lake was so nice as compared to the entire summer. I have some good videos but too...

BTW. The MFR of my hitch is Titan. I checked it today when I put the cover on due to the impending rain.

I have a freebacking hitch. I've had it for at least 5 years. Originally, I'd have to get out of the truck and "flip the switch" and then back it in. Sometimes, the switch would pop and the brakes would engage. Man what a pain in the ass that is. Now, I just come to a stop and back it in. No...
