1 pointThe water pump parts for the Honda 20hp outboard got here a few days ago. I finally got around to installing them. As I was backing the pontoon into the lake and was thinking how easily the engine went back together. My little voice was saying "that was too easy, what's wrong". The engine had a lot of cranking, but no fire. It needed some go juce - which I did not have on board. Good sign, though, was the water coming out of the lower cowling. The pump was working, but I had forgotten to plug the telltale hose and carb drain hoses up to the nozzles in the cowling. Back to the house, set it all right, and grab some carb cleaner for go juice, and back to the launch ramp for a successful launch. I think I'll treat the first tank of gas this year with a 1/4 cup of ATF to get some extra detergents in the fuel system. I suspect that there is still some crud in the enrichment circuit.

1 pointHello all, I put my 520-8 up for sale on page 13 of the big show sale thread. Figured id add it here too to catch those not looking over there. Late to party, last minute for sale... 520-8 with good 42" s/d deck (blades nfg) Unit has 875 hours and clock works. All idiot lights and gauges work. Fresh oil and good battery. Yes it does need some light bulbs and minor doo dads. But it is still solid and very strong Tractor was used but not abused and runs great with no smoke or bad noises. Charging system works. I had plans to tear it apart and do a resto mod / rebuild it the way I would build a "520" and have come to realise I have enough 500 series parts laying around to build one using a 300/400 series as a starting platform. $1500 is my number... with genuine Wheel Horse wheel weights bring $500+ I feel this piece of Wheel Horse lore is worth it. I will haul to big show if paid in advance. Thanks Tony Andover CT (860)978-9039

1 pointFunny you should say that. My wife hates when I do the same thing. Usually, I will let them go on and on, then when they take a break to get their breath, I just say Hello?

1 pointMore yard clean up today. Last weekend, I was scooping leaves out of the lake onto the shore. Today, Morgan, the 14-8, got some cart duty hauling the soggy leaves off of the shoreline. Next, I finished up cutting up the tree that fell out of the woods and into the neighbor's yard - not the whole tree, just the crown. I was using our recently acquired Milwaukee Hatchet pruning saw. Was using an 8 amp hour battery. Over 5 evenings of working on this for an hour or hour and a half, I finished the job with 1/2 of the battery charger remaining. Pictures:

1 pointWorked a shift at work this morning, Then worked around the house for a while. I then visited relatives for a few hours in a weekly meeting called “Happy Hour” at my cousin Brian’s, Then picked up the basement/workshop and worked on my R/C car for a few hours. It’s a 1/5 scale Redcat Rampage that I got on my 30th birthday roughly 15 years ago. BTW that’s a roughly 4 foot diameter table.

1 pointIt wasn’t what I did today, but over the weekend. My wife and I took our camper about an hour away to the east end of Long Island, to Montauk,NY. We got up early Saturday morning to catch the sunrise at the lighthouse. It’s a beautiful place to camp, right on the beach! In the village of Montauk I stopped to take a picture of The Memory Motel. Yes the one The Rolling Stones sang about! As they said The Memory Motel, it’s on the ocean, I guess you know it well! Technically it’s not on the ocean, it’s probably 1000’ away 😂

1 pointMy daughter has a tumor in that area as well. We found, what we consider, the best surgeon at Yale New Haven. Long story short, she did not have surgery and we are monitoring the tumor with 2x / year MRI’s https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/sacit-omay/

1 pointThe first show where RedSquare was officially represented was 2008. That year, I believe that the only thing of significance was a banner made by Terry and signed by everyone in attendance, that banner was given to me and is proudly on display at @stevebo’s barn. Pre 2011, we strongly encouraged the use of Photobucket which was a great at the time when we lost the forum, but now any surviving photobucket picture is watermarked so I believe that this picture is the first RedSquare group picture.
