Good morning!!!!

[DABSGT]

If anyone is thinking of buying a cordless pole saw I recommend looking at the Kobalt 40 volt. Last year I used an arm power saw but having 2 tears in my rotator cuff I made an impulse purchase and not only is it easer on the shoulder but finished the job in no time. Well now I wish I had a grapple but don't think I can pass that off as impulse to the wife. Off to pick up my cuttings.

Jet boats: never saw anyone water ski behind a jet boat. Not very popular here in the Midwest, most of the had poor ride comfort, and lack of versatility, and too much noise for 8-10 hrs of running on the water. Gas burn per hour will be about 20 gph at 2/3 throttle, and close to 40 at full throttle.

I guess you never saw me on/in Lake Somerville. What was really fun was to raise the rooster tail and drown the skier. What was not fun was getting the ski rope out of the jet intake.

Safety inspection on Tundra about to expire, might try to get one today.

Be safe
Have a great day

David, how often do you have to do a safety inspection? In my area, safeties are done when you buy the vehicle and then if it is over 5 years old then you have to have an emissions test done every 2 years. Vehicles do not need another safety until you sell it and that person puts it on the road.

If I remember correctly a new vehicle is good for 2 years, then yearly. No emissions test here, basically a look over, lights etc. Now they take a pic of vehicle.

Jet boats, brings back memories. Rule 1, drink beer in a long neck bottle to avoid 55mph and higher "beerspray" on your face and body.
My buddy had a highly massaged Olds 455 with a lot of Dr Mondello parts and heads. The pump had been built to handle the added HP. Boat would do an honest GPS 74 mph naturally aspirated. I referred to the engine as a "deep cycle troll motor".

Moved on to supercharged ford 460 in the next boat. Still runs great today on avgas.

Beer + supercharged jet boat. What could go wrong? :shocked::laughing:

Gary, yes.
Seems requirements vary about every state I've lived. Funny thing, when I was a teen, 50 years ago, passing the state inspection in Maine was tougher than here.
In Ga, the emissions tests was a challenge. This truck is a 2012, so hopefully no problems.
