What the heck is he talking about

Mine will have to wait until I get back from 8 days of adult beverages looking at beautiful half or not dressed at all women during halloween at Key West.

I just put up the frame, throw the pool cover over it, make sure all the doors and hatches are open, put in a tub of moisture control (http://www.damprid.com/products) tighten the steel cable on the cover to make a snug fit all around the hull, run bungies from the cover grommet holes to the trailer frame, greese the trailer wheel bearings and put on the tire covers.... that's about it. Whole thing takes about 2 hours. Plenty of time left in the day to enjoy a good Scotch.

If I can't get out 10/29 or 30, I will probably winterize mine then.

I am doing is easier this year, not removing the outdrive (did it last year with a new impeller) and not even removing the battery (need to get a new one anyhow). Going to run antifreeze through the cooling system, add more fuel stabilizer and then drain the oil before covering it up.

If you are going to run antifreeze thru the cooling system(I'm assuming an I/O) drain the raw water from the block before running the antifreeze thru. It will prevent from any pockets of unmixed water from freezing, and it will drain out any sediment in the cooling system as well

I truly believe that their unspoken but being worked for objective is to outlaw all sportfishing and give the fishing to either the very rich or the commercial fishermen as "shares". The rest of us can cut bait.

It's not a permanent agenda. It's one parties agenda which includes a twisting of the Magnusson-Stevens Act.

As long as NOAA is operated by PEW fellows, this agenda will be continued. What we need is conservative leadership who can appoint someone with some "common sense" (not an environmentalist agenda), to oversea regulations regarding our nation's oceanic resources.
