This morning after driving through the night to get Canada Thrust to Pompano beach without getting stopped by the keys police force for driving at night without an oversize permit, I made it all the way to cardsound bridge and dropped a bearing on a two month old myco. While the service truck took off the old wheel I called OSO member BUIZILLA who I knew back in high school. He made phone calls and arranged for me to take the boat to a marine shop in Homestead for new bearings. The repair shop Dalton Marine supply replaced all bearing and seals in the one wheel and with labor and parts only charged me $198.50. When this happens I usually pay 3 to 4 hundred for the same serivce. Dalton was very honest and I recommend them to anyone that has a problem in the homstead area. As my luck progressed I headed north on 826 in Miami and with murphy's law on my side dropped the bearings on the other side of the same axel. this time I just took off the bad wheel and proceeded to Turbine Marine on 5 tires. Again I want to thank Jim aka Buizilla and to Dalton Marine Supply for saving my behind.

You too, How is dan hangin? I don't think he knew he was in the keys. Good to see all the scope members that came 3000 miles for a poker run. Now lets see some of the east coasters come to the scope run next year. Oh I forgot they can't boat in real ocean water
