What's a Bilge pump? I think I might need one...

I don't think you need one Stretchy, unless you have a boat! :) A bilge pump pumps the water out of the bilge (sorry, I had to... :p). The bilge is the bottom of the boat, between the flat part you stand on and the curvy part that sits on the water.

I fell asleep. :facepalm: Got another chic n hutch at TSC. Put it together, moved peeps. Sat down and fell asleep. Sheesh.

If I can't go in jeans and a tee shirt, I don't need to go. Today's tee says Reel Women Fish. (They also use bilge pumps, and can put together a new peep hut in less than an hour) :laugh:

Feeding the boys, then out to help Mr. V clean out the woodshed. It's been on the list for over a month. oops.

I picked up one of the new Cantina Bowls at Taco Bell on the way home from work today. They are pretty awesome! I got the one with steak (other choices are chicken 8-o and veggie). Finally something I like at Taco Bell! :)

Not vape related: if anyone has a need for a car diagnostic code reader, Newegg has them on sale for $20. Good reviews. Not top of the line, but works.

I knew I shouldnt have said anything... I finished up most of the hinges and stuff. Realized that the nuts were rusted to the cleats. So I need to buy new ones. That shouldnt be too bad though. So I started looking in to the electrical. I have no clue where Im losing the voltage. I think Im going to have to hand over hand trace down the power cables and make sure everything is put together right. So, after giving up on that part for now, I started cleaning up, and stepped on the hatch that covers the gas tank. And the floor broke. After looking closely at it, I now see that there is about a 2.5 foot by 4 foot section of subfloor is rotten. Here's the kicker... I dont know how to replace a boat floor. Nor would I trust my carpentry abilities in even attempting it. I would probably end up making it worse. I know electronics and mechanical.... So, Ive now had to rearrange priorities. Now I have to get the trailer towable so I can take the boat to have that section replaced, and then re-covered with fiberglass. This just got a lot more expensive... :mad:


Bfb I would have started on getting her powered up first. What's a pretty package with out power.:lol:


Sent from Drott's Dog house on the move
What good is power if it wont float? :D (at least when referring to a boat.)


I suspect that he is trying to take up less space and room at Mrs. E's suggestion. ;)
Mrs E wants to get the boat on the water almost as much as I do. This is the first vehicle project Ive ever had that shes actually supporting me on. She NEVER liked my car projects.

Nah, probably not. Bamrz already answered what it was!

When they have try outs for Ice Road Trucker. I want you to try out. I want to watch. The only thing I could do out of all of those things would be to take a nap..

I would love driving a truck! Not on an ice road though, I don't like cold and it looks way too scary.

I thought that Taco Bell Bowl sounded good on the commercial.The last time I ate at Taco Bell was at a swim meet with the kids in 1994.
Yup, the commercials last night got to me. There must have been 20 in the 2 hours I watched TV last night.

:lol: Growing up in a rural farming community I should have figured that one out!

Speak people. I've been formally told by Mr. Hubby to stay off my feet. I need a conversation. Hubby is out playing with lathe, the switch came in the mail and he is turning!

Ice Road Truckers? I could do that. We drove team from WI to the west coast and back every week. No matter the weather or road conditions. The roads over the mountains in WY, MT, ND get to be a sheet of ice. Slippery and scary. I can drive a semi on ice. I don't like it, but I can do it.

TMI Spicy, TMI!!!!!

Now I want Taco Bell. darn it.

And yes, spooky shed is getting cleaned. We just ran for the house/safety.... It was scary when we bought the house 12 years ago.
