A New Season Begins...Finally
The above pic was snapped by Deborah the first time I stepped into the wheelhouse early March 2010, Freeport Long Island....it truly was a unique moment in life. The boat had been sitting for two years and it looked like it was ready to sink at the dock.

The Lambs Will Have To Wait For April....They're Not Going Out This March Apparently...WTF
Like most of you, I have completely "had-it" with winter. Enough of this BS and my goodness, do we all need a break or what?

If you change the oil every 3k with good synthetic oil (Mobile 1) you can expect to hit 500k+. So the truck is a 2003 and it came up from Florida with ZERO rust and in just about mint condition. I will never buy another used car or truck from
