    What motor is in your boat? My 351 only needs 2 gallons of rv antifreeze. cheap insurance and it keeps corrosion at bay in the internals of the motor.

    Watt is from Pewaukee, WI, near where I work. He bought a big house in Summit, WI, he supposedly splits wood by axe for training/ conditioning. Our friends daughter's bf ( yeah, I know ;)), is family friends with the watt family, and they have a lot of camp fires in Summer.

    Two gallons of rv antifreeze will do it. Different motor, but small block v8.

    Up at 4:30. Coffee. Let Giz out at 5. Really cold and chilly to the bone rain. No skunk this time. Giz shrieked at him across the lawn a few days ago and he took off. Have actually convinced my bride to hold off with the bird seed for a while this fall. Reminded her it was premium skunk food too.

    Caffeine a goin down. Time to get ready to enclose the porch this morning. Put my plastic panels up to keep the nasty stuff out for the next 5 months. The ground is soaking wet in the woods so I'll wait until after lunch to go out there and work.

    Took care of some things around the house and camp today.

    Turned well pump off, drained all the water out of the pipes and hot water heater. Then turned all the thermostats to OFF.:thumbs:

    My neighbor and I put the grapple back on the tractor. And I moved a few logs and some brush to the piles for saving and for burning.

    Did a little :saw: to a few more stumps today. There are easily 100 stumps from 2-24" that have to be cut lower or dug out.

    I dug out four stumps that were not to close to any other remaining trees and put the stumps on the burn piles with the grapple.

    Now I tired and am sitting in the car getting ready to watch another soccer game. Only a couple games left!

    Using a set of chain falls in his building it takes us about 10-15 minutes. Eventually I am going to have to get a set of chain falls and set something up at my place. It is only the third time we have put it on/off since completed. LOL

    Just had 2 major sounds of explosions in the area, preliminary report by provincial police pointing to 2 earthquakes somewhere here in the valley. No damages reported @ this point. Really loud and the ground was vibrating momentarily.
