    Finely received my new fuel line for my pontoon boat and was so excited after installing it that I just had to take it for a test drive. Boat started and ran good for one minute then died and would not start again. After examining I found that the new hose terminal end that connected to the motor would not make an air tight seal. Leaks gas all around the connection. I had the old fuel line and its pump ball still in the truck so I quickly swapped fuel lines. The boat started right up so I figure I just bought a factory defective hose for $59.00. Then I noticed no water coming out of the port so I trailer the boat and went home and ordered an impeller. I guess it's no fishing till after the holiday.

    Holiday weekend so no fishing for me. Texoma has come up 4' in the last 10 days resulting in a muddy Texoma. In lieu of fishing I have been making some fishing rods for a couple of friends and one for me. I am a little rod poor . Here is the start of a 2 piece 9' St Croix crappie rod for a fishing buddy.

    Glueing on the rear grip and laying out the guide spacing is all I have finished so far. I guess I did find the spline on the blank pieces also.

    Another 45 hours of effort and the St Croix will be done . You can't rush the best rod money can buy. Can't turn a profit either

    Here is the 5' ultra-lite bait casting rod awaiting epoxy.

    It is waiting because a friend wants me to show him how to apply the epoxy so he can build a few.
