As soon as I finish the FOX, my Backyard Project starts. I have removed the old Deck and Patio Stones already, so it is a blank canvas now ready for the redux.
Your Backyard Furniture looks great, but wondering what you do with it when the weather is inclement and in winter, do you cover it, or move it to the garage?

Post progress pics!

Spent the last couple months when I can find free time rebuilding a mid 60"s ish boat motor. Picked it up for 100 bucks
Been my first jump really into the workings on an outboard. Learned a lot.

Got it out on the boat (11 ft aluminum) couple weekends ago and was a little bummed. Last year when I got the boat it has a 4.5 hp Jonson seahorse. And this is a 9.5hp evenrude sport twin.
Let's just say didn't seem to make a difference. I know it was starving for fuel with some line issues but quick on the lake fix seemed to sort that out. Was running smooth but just would not come up on plane. Puttered around but no where in a hurry.

Talked to a local boat place and he said I may be expecting too much for an old motor but suggested that I look into the prop. Old one could be worn or the inner bushing loose.
Said screw it and just ordered a new one in. ($125. On a motor I payed $100 for)
It came today and I'm thinking that may have been my problem. Haven't got it one the water yet but a bit excited again to try it out.

What do you think?

Correct prop to an outboard is what the right gear ratio is to your car.

I dunno , maybe because it's only 295,000 km young?

I'm sure the maintenance on a 300k 15 y/o german car isn't that much.
LOL, "all highway". Yeah, back and forth across Canada 50 times!

300K and the wrong front end.


I'm not sure why you want it.

Wonder what's going on with the GO train stopped close to islington & Bloor? Driver was blasting horn which usually means someone is crossing the tracks, trains comes to a halt and now emergency services are showing up in the TTC parking lot next to the track. There about 10 emergency vehicles jammed up at the toll gate and they can't get in.

EDIT: Ugh, looks like the train hit someone.

Ooooo...we had one of those on Monday night at work. Not nice for the engineer.

That would be awful. He was on the horn hard for a lot longer than usual before coming to a stop. Everyone is still on the train.

There's nothing they can do at that point. It takes a long time to stop. They probably won't let anyone off of the train until the emergency workers have the scene stabilized. Also I believe they have some sort of crisis intervention for the staff when it happens.

Very sad. I think it is a fatality unfortunately.
