Re: Bansil and MamaTurtle create a getaway cruiser
No work on console, too many other things going on
BUT.....she is out of water and in front yard The 3 hr tour lasted 7 hours
So she hasn't been started since 4th July in the year of our covid.
So I charged a battery up, grabbed 40#s of tools, 5 1 gallon jugs of gas and a can of starter fluid.
We dropped Tahoe off with trailer at destination ramp and went to our property.
Made it to the parking lot at our property....
%#@÷×%_ jumper cables were left in Tahoe
1/2 hr later back at boat.
Hauled all that shit to boat in 2 trips with Porta cart, wifey went back to car and I prepped boat...
1)engine cover off... check
2) tank still 1/2 full, no thieves ( gas was a wasted trip)
3) mounted flag.....hell didn't even know it would stary...Murica
4) stuck key switch
5) pumped primer hard
6) sprayed fluid into intake.
7) hit key....vroom.....
Warmed her up....wife got on she was like
Then I pointed at the extra heavy azz battery...never hooked it up.....jumper cabled were just chillin in the shade....amazed.
1st stop was a splash of ethanol free full, I'll us the five gallons fires and shit.
Wife wanted a beer and fries
This is actually where we stayed 3 years before we got a slip....
Ready to....
My countries beautiful old glory.....
So we get 90% towards destination when wife asked where Tahoe keys are so she can back truck down
In the car.....on otherwise of lake.....so hit a quick u-turn
Rewind.....pups had a great time....all in all awesome journey

Re: Bansil and MamaTurtle create a getaway cruiser
Bansil, Bansil, Bansil. I'm very disappointed in you.
Based on the pics, it appears you forgot the most important thing........... A Koozie or Yetti holder for your beverage! Come on, man!

That makes it even worse! Unless your wife likes warm beer, you're forgetting these important words....... "Happy wife, happy life".

Re: Bansil and MamaTurtle create a getaway cruiser
I bought her French fries to go with her beer
She's in spare bedroom putting down flooring as I work on my cyclekart.... that's happy life.
I made a couple parts for motor bracket
She has a friend coming down, so...last weekend we tore out carpet and sanded floor.
I said I can't work on it during the week so girlfriends visit will have to wait
Monday she washed and primed walls, tuesday she painted the walls, today she started on the floors
So I will help on Friday for a few hours doing an accent wall and then hand over the nail gun and work on my stuff
She works from home so she sneaks away.... I love her to death

Re: Bansil and MamaTurtle create a getaway cruiser
Might as well show the room she redid so her friends could stay
I finished floor, put up trim and did her accent wall and hung her curtains and stuff.
Friday night she saw this....it was a long Friday for me.
Made her two nightstand tops. 1 is mounted on rightside
With her wine glass on it Mid project on Friday, break
