Weather permitting I am taking the Rebel out for the first run with the new power.  Word is Donnie will be testing as well.  Should be there around 5:00.  I still need a water dump fitting and I have that ordered from Rex.  Nothing a little duct tape wont fix for testing.

Ten minutes ago, I just finished replacing the impeller on the Whaler motor. Tomorrow might be a good time to test it out.........depending on the weather.

Thanks for the offer Frank.  I'd take you up on that but I ordered a blue anodized one since I am putting it in the blue part of the gel.  I also ordered one to replace the plastic one I have for the bilge.  They were only 12.99.  I'd spend that much in gas going to Denton and back in my truck.  LOL.  Still need to figure a way to have a beer together though.  We never managed a Wed dinner any closer to you over the winter.

Frank. Been to Lewisville a few times and each time had issues with drunks in high powered boats almost running us down. Have they cracked down on that stuff?? Not wanting to sound like an old man, I bring my kids with me all the time.

Okay cool...so you know what I'm talking about then. Yes, that's about where I was over near the dam and Sneaky Petes. Haven't been back on that lake since April 2008. But since y'all have a good spot for the jets, I might have to head out there one day over the Memorial day weekend.

Those days are numbered.  OK recently revised it's boating while intoxicated laws.  AZ, NV and CA have also started cracking down.  You will still have idiots piloting those boats but the drunk ones will be on the way to jail.  It's not going to happen over night but I bet 5 years from now the boating while drinking crowd will have changed drastically.

Hope today works out for ya. I think the weather should hold out......30% chance of some rain between 3-5pm so after that, you should be good to go.

Got soccer practice this afternoon or else I'd be there helping ya out.
