Wow !! I guess being in Maryland where most of the Crabs come from is advantageous. We paid $6 a dozen for the 5 dozen she got yesterday. Even the Male Jumbos were only $40 a dozen. This guy has been selling live crabs for years out of a refrigerated truck that is on the Liquor Store parking lot. I'm sure he buys them from local crab fishermen..... :thumbsup:

I would expect it should be a lot less there, but those prices are for steamed, ready to eat.

Good Morning everyone. Prepping for inventory. This is the least fun part of the year. Engines moved to our account without us knowing it, then having to physically find them in many locations. I still haven't figured out a way to have some at the Belgium office/warehouse location yet though....maybe next year

If inventory is off and you end up with an extra 150 HP outboard, please ship it to me! My boat would love to leap into the present and try being a 4 stroke.. Two stroke runs just fine but just not as awesome as a 4 stroke would be..

Sorry, I don't think I have a 150. Some 400-600hp though

Is that a full bolt-on frame?

I think so. Same as a Chevelle in those years. My son's 70 Chevelle is full frame. GM used the changable front frame sections on the Camaros and Novas and the like....

Neighbors kid was building a GM vert a few years ago (he has his own place now so his cars aren't there anymore). I think similar. Had frame off. He had a second frame, but didn't have re-enforcements for vert.

A guy from the Ukraine told me 25 years ago that if your condenser goes bad you can wire in a tree frog to get you home. But they don't last real long so grab a couple if you can..

Well I am going to have a fun day. I am going to run into town (1hr) and fetch my Dad and take him to a gun shop. I need some Mag Pul widgets and the shop stocks them. It would be much easier and likely cheaper to order off the web but then I don’t get to hang out with my Dad!
TTFN

I work in Product Development and Engineering at Mercury Marine. I do failure analysis. So end of test investigations and reports, field failure analysis, and pretty much anything else I am asked or find interesting. Lots of rabbit holes, depends on how far you want to take something. Essentially, I find out what happened and point the finger. Nothing is ever my fault, always broken when I get it. Perfect narcissistic job. I have access to everyone (from engineering to purchasing to service to manufacturing) in the building for anything I need. I really enjoy my job.

The tech rep i knew 20+ years ago really seemed to enjoy his job. Smart fellow. Went from mercury to polaris then harley davidson.
 
Ya, so pick up wheel cylinder, replace it refill master and bleed air out. Right? Oh hell no, no pressure to back brakes at all. Been fighting with it all morning. I’m not pleased. Got fed up and blew all the fluid out of line back to master cylinder. Pulled resevoir and cleaned it. Finally stopped for coffee. 11:45.
 
I'm 7 cups of coffee in and still can't hardly keep my eyes open.
Who the hell put three mondays in this week?
 
Finally got brakes to make pressure at the back. Fresh fluid seems to have helped. Dropped the oil, now i need to go fetch winter tires from the shed. Before that i think i will go insure new trailer. Im trailering it into winnipeg, to the mall where she works.
