Working on the Water
Somehow a day at work ended up in a day on the water. Shooting some video for Engine Builder Magazine and we ended up closing out on the lake! Can't top that.
I'm loving having the boat on a lift. I was on the water Monday, Wednesday, Thursday.....I have more water time in 4 weeks than I got all last year. And for some reason boat is getting faster. 86.6 this week by myself and 85.2 yesterday with 5 guys and their camera gear and it was over 90 degrees out. We were floating while I was showing them Mellencamp's house....a bass tournament must have started and I saw them all running... I said you guys wanna race some bass boats? So we put on a chase with them about 1/4 mile ahead so hopefully we got some good video running them down. And those damn things were scooting, that last one took me a bit to pass.
On that bass boat note....I think I need some boost.
These guys have done some marine coverage in the magazine and on their website with Saris and Crockett....so maybe check it out if you like boat engines.

I am struggling with it not being perfectly clean when I show up. Its not bad to wash and I haven't had bird sh*t or anything like that.
1. Pollen right now which is super easy
2. Spiders. I hate spiders. I have ZERO in my garage, and plenty on the dock.
Anyone have a good spray that works well on the dock?

Peppermint and vinegar 50/50 mix does pretty good. I also go down to dock late at night and spray poison. The combination works good.
