    Getting the boat ready

    I remember it use to be alot easier. I had a birfday a few days back and it hit me that I'm sorta long in the tooth now and I can't do it all at one time. So I'll spend tomorrow and sunday finishing it up. After I had the tires put on yesterday I ran it by a trailer place and they re-packed my bearing and flushed my break fluid. I noticed coming home (a 10 minute run) that the breaks were sticking on. I'll run it back up there monday morning early so they can fix that. Probably just a tad to much fluid. Anyway without any delies we will be headed out some where tuesday around noon. Martha sorta rolled her eyes when I told her the top six was going to be on Amistad all next week. She may change her mind about Amistad but then that is a woman's thing to do I'll just agree and take her where ever she wants to go . Bass Boat Saver sure helps getting the boat ready, easy on easy off.

    Yeah that could be it. they will get it fixed monday morning for me. We have Martha's mom this weekend so I wouldn't be using it any way. 10 minutes from my house to the trailer place should not the breaks. And if that is my biggest worry then I'm good. Life is good.

    Know what you mean. It has to be belt level or higher for me to work on or clean the boat. Well, sometimes if I can lay down on my back and someone is there to help me up I can pull the drain plug.
