@*(&^@#(*&^%@

snapped a spark plug this morning doing an early season tune up.

Looked for spare, couldn't find it.

Off to west marine (where last season they only sold the NGK for $21 a pop). "we don't stock that anymore. Nobody from MA to NY has one.

Then to Pep Boys. Nope.

Then to boaters world. Nope.

sparkplugs.com, YES. and they have the champion for only $6.00/plug so I bought a dozen.

BUT, I am out of commission for a few days..... UGH, just when things are starting to really heat up.

Gave me time to work around the house I guess. wife was happy.

sorry had to vent

i bent my wookie

If it's for a Evinrude Ficht I have 8 XC12PEPB that I have been trying to sell on craigslist for $4.00 a pop.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Our mechanic always taught me to never throw out the old plugs. Always keep your most recent set as a spare, just in case..

wicked bummer though Zacs...

Yup..
WM has the %$%$%$%$-iest plug selection I have seen.
I wanted to do the Optimax on the r/v today.
Wont have them in through Monday.. if it wasn't such a pain to buy from a state system I'd go elsewhere,,, but they are good vendors when it comes to taking a P.O.
