On Saturday we took the boat to Chestnut Neck. It took less than 2 hours to get there. Didn't go to Spring Garden this year. Asked that they repack the stuffing boxes and fix the float in the holding tank. Now it always reads full regardless of when it was last pumped out.
We didn't unload the boat at Sunset Marina thinking that it would be easier to just pull the car up to the boat and unload once it was on land. We waited for a couple of hours for them to power wash and block it before we got access and then Kevie made another trip on Sunday to clean up and bring back another load. Next year we unload a bunch of stuff before we leave the dock and then just leave the boat for them to do their thing instead of waiting.
On Sunday I changed the oil on the car. Turn the key to run (don't start the engine) and step on the gas 3 times to reset the oil change reminder light. Mileage was approx 128,700.
I put a new battery in the motorcycle and it started right up but when I twist the throttle it dies. I can rev it up using the choke and have no problem riding after I get out of first gear. Went to the auto parts store and got one of those additives that promises to clean the carburetor, put it in and after some 80 miles of riding it is better but still not good. Will run the whole bottle through and hopefully avoid taking out the 4 carbs and cleaning them by hand.
