what sucks more is YOU lost an entire summer, I only lost a hand full of trips at the end of the season. Next time you have an issue check with me, I have stuff like enrichener valves, ignition coils and check valves, bleed hoses and assorted fuel hose for these things and stuff like that to get one out of a bind. ( Mercs only).. plus any tool or meter you might need to fix those cantankerous old fighters.. talk about love hate relationships!

as you said bring on the hard water, uncovered the Can-Am the other day, engine fired off on a half revolution.. I just need to go over the trailer, winter driving raises hell with them.. Looking forward to the first hard water trip, usually by the 3rd week of December but some years as early as thanks giving, one ( actually a bunch of them) of the lakes up there gets a fall stocking of big breeder brookies, the only hard part is getting them before the locals get them all, cause they( the fish) aint too bright... but standing on clear ice in 18" of water and watching a 3lb brook trout slam a jig is pretty exciting. You,Me and Mikey NEED to fish together this winter.. even if we dont catch anything I think we will have a blast ( and eat well)

I still fished plenty. I’m sure you, Mikey, and I will fish hard water.

I’m sure we will eat like kings; I would drive for 10 hours for three pound Brookies, as well.
