Downloaded it and tried it, that is a cool game, and yes it can be addicting. But I can't figure how to shut it down, there's no shutdown/exit button or anything, I end up rebooting the phone to get out of it, WTF am I missing here.

Another quick weekend in the books. Didn't do a whole lot Sunday. Fired the boat off and checked a few things and pulled the cover back over it. Going to try to go and drop it in Pleasant the next couple weeks. Got to burn this fuel so I can put fresh in.
Been tossing around heavily about getting a drive shower. I have only been wanting to do it for 20 years now and just haven't done it. With the age of this thing I should have done it a long time ago like I wanted to. Been looking at all these years at the Simrek for the alpha. Seems to be the best option and not punching holes in the cavitation plate of the drive.

Every time we hit the water and we cruise for a while I start thinking about it. Like a trip from Thompson bay to the dam. We do that quite a bit non stop. From Pleasant Harbor to way up to the river non stop. The thing is no spring chicken. Plus it would help on collection of water deposits on the drive making it white and tough to clean up.

Went to put the grill back in the chevy Monday afternoon and one clip was gone. Found it on the frame rail broke. Got to looking and one other wasn't happy, Midway should have all 4 this afternoon to pick up. Have no idea whay a plastic twist clip would break after almost 20 years in Arizona. The grill hasn't ever been out of the truck. Sad thing is they get $4.50 each for them. I asked the parts guy if they were laced with gold. I don't think he had a sence of humor.

Yeah, they are good sources for factory fasteners, if they don't have them it pretty much don't exist, I bought quite a bit of stuff from them in the past.

Didn't get much done around here over the weekend. Got the garage cleaned up Saturday morning from the chevy project. Getting close to a dump run for the trailer. Changed my blood pressure meds that have me in a little funk. Need to call the doc today and report BP and whats going on to get that adjusted.

I feel sorry for those around Havasu and parker this weekend. I'm thinking both places will be like a holiday weekend with everything packed with people. I didn't hear or see anything from last weekend, but as things loosen up places are going to get crazy. Time to start mid week boating.

Restaurants are able to open today with limited capacity for distancing. I'm all for getting things back open again, But I'm still not comfortable with this thing being under control. To many people are not taking this thing serious enough for me and not enough medically yet to control it. I have a feeling we are going to have another wave of people getting and dying from this in just a month or two.

Yeah, most opened up here yesterday too but at half capacity, it's about time people get some fresh air, not good to be cooped up, wish the fkn media would quit spreading bull$hit and start reporting the true facts instead of scare tactics.

The media isn't helping at all. To many people are thinking this is all B.S. since they haven't got this thing. I haven't got it but know people on the front line and having to deal with trying not to spread it to their families. I'm waiting for them to ask me to go back into the office. I don't want to until I feel comfortable to not get it and drag it home.

After wook today I decided to go out and dink with the boat a little. I got the shower and put it on and noticed after I got the shower on that there was some oil residue all around the drive where it meets to the bell housing. Grabbed the torque wrench and checked the nuts. Little lose but not bad. I figured I would clean up the oil and keep an eye on it. As I got it all cleaned up I discover part of the gasket was hanging out. Â Â So I have ordered a new gasket set and new nylock nuts to replace the originals I should have replaced years ago if not last year when I had it off. Needles to say that everything I did last year I will have corrected from hurrying to get it ready for D.S.. Â Â Goes to show you that if you don't have sufficiant time to do it right. DON'T DO IT!! Â Â So guess what I will be doing Memorial Weekend.

Ahhh yes, learned that a long time ago, lol, that sucks but I think we all do it, in fact I still catch myself trying to get in a hurry and have to back off and come back later, probably won't be your last time either, lol..

Well, we have good news, Doc says my X-Rays looked great better than average, still no bending or twisting and can't lift more than 10-15lbs as long as it's close to me, said I can do $hiat as long as it don't hurt, if it hurts back off, I go back in 2 months which is my 3 month follow up and restrictions should be lifted, and so far it looks good at 6 months to get back in the boat..

Or do you plan on on beating on it.
