You doing good D? It's hot enough to F@#$ standing up!!! We finally got the Graffrig 5" screens for the flame arrestors back from them "after, seemed like 2 months waiting." So the engines should breath a bit easer now. Gaffrig did a great job on them worth the wait.

Doing pretty good VV!! Almost healed up from the surgery!! Playing Mr Mom until the kids start school. I have been researching my options with the boat situation. Undecided on wether I want to buy a new one, a "newer" one, or a bigger one!! Pretty limited on the spending!! I have paid off both cars so I have a little more room to play. Once I get back to work I will make up my mind!!

Glad you got your screens!! I bet they look pretty darn good!!!!

Keep in touch. I left my new house number on your voice mail today. The cell number is the same!!

Anyway I'm back, and will have an update after the weekend. I started day trading after 3 months of practice and learning the ropes a little, I have done so well at it I'm staying home and not working a real job now. With an average of 9K a week who needs a real job...


Dayum, I was hoping we would do some more boating. Drag that sled down here and tell me more about this day trading stuff.

I'm sorry Andy, but you have to understand everything I have is for sale but doesn't mean it will sale. I make the wife wear a sale tag when she goes to town.

Matt and I went for a Velocity ride today, it was sorta ruff out there but what a ride. Matt's Nephew was in the floor holding onto the bottom of the back seat a couple times. We hit a Sea Ray wake so hard it got quiet. We couldn't see anything but the stripe running down the bow of the boat.

Starboard engine was starting to get warm so we put it back on the trailer, Matt and I, "Mostley Matt" checked the impeller and it was OK. We flushed and re-tested back on the lake and it never got even close to hot. Thinking we sucked air maybe thru the flush Kit but not sure....Also we got some complements, not on the boat but the sound coming out tails and of course my big muscles.

VV- that ride will carry me through this week. I havent had that much fun in a boat in a while.

I saw a friend at the bar Friday night that said he was at his house in Tanglewood and could hear something "pissed off" throttling down the lake. I wish we had that kind of water everyday!

We missed you Saturday, you stay home and clean?
