Mine has a friction plate, I haven't replaced it but it appears to be a relatively painless procedure to change, when I'll need to. Hopefully after I move to a snow free zone

Not sayin you should do it. whatever you're comfortable with. I have been get more comfy doing my own stuff these days, so thats my choice unless it's like a internal engine component, then I'll look for help, until I learn how to do that stuff too.

A buddy of mine who lives about a mile away and is terribly disabled was yakking about his 19 yr. old sat inside and watched him do all the shoveling during the storm. He just signed for a car for the kid. Thats was kind of bothering him at coffee this morning.

AS it should have bothered him. Sounds like the kid is part of the entitlement generation. We have a neighbor who's kid is like that.
The mother says he has ADD....

I say he is just a lazy schlep. He stands on the porch smoking a ciogarette watching his step father shovel (step father is in late 50s)

Guys are kind of on hold. Everything is done except for windows and siding. it has been too cold and snowy to side. They were actually willing to do it and did the Tyvec and corners but I told them to wait until the weather breaks a bit.

No boat, back in the suds.
