    Default New motor and new console


    Linda and I have been riding for 14 years in our boat. I was always behind the windshield and she sat in the open on the other side. Well I decided that should change. I got a wild hair out of the clear blue and this is what I came up with. I built it without her knowing about it and boy was she thrilled when she saw it. I still have a little work to do on it just to make it better.

    She can have the wind in her hair without the gnats in her eyes.

    You need me to send a decal that says “THE BOSS”? LOL
    Nice work, by the way.

    Thanks Buddy, She knows who's the Boss and who's the Hoss. Now that she has had the surgery on her rotator cuff I feel more like a mule with the load I'm pulling.

    Thanks fellows
    Linda has been doing well but today was a little tough. Lightning and thunder keep her up all night, I think she slept 2 hours early this morning. She was up at 4:30 and helped me drink a pot of coffee. As much as she tried to sleep she just couldn't get comfortable enough. Her shoulder starting hurting and she hit the pain pills but that didn't help none. I prepared her supper and then with a full belly she crashed from 5:30 to 8:30. She feeling better now but probably won't go to sleep until after midnight.

    I took a ride to the Lac Friday with my daughter to get some hours on the motor. Perch jerked for dozen and then went riding. She sure rides nice. JR as soon as I can leave Linda by herself or get someone to be with her, you and I have to hit the Lac. It's been way to long.
