What a day...

So we got up and took the boat in to Buzz's marine today. Then we proceeded to run many errands for most of the morning and early afternoon. We had pictures that were ready to pick up and quite a few places to go, so it wasn't til after 3:00 that we got back to Buzz's. Heres one of the pics:



The verdict? The oil injection works fine!! No more doubts, no more mixxing gas!! We removed the decals from the sides of the outboards cover, and have new "Mercury" decals on the way. At Buzz's we picked up some cowl polishing compound, in addition to some Mercury "phantom black" touch up paint. I'll post pics of the cover after we get that tackled and the new decals on it.

A final note...Between the truck, the boat, and 3 5-gallon cans, we bought almost 50 gallons of fuel today. Locally it would have cost us 3.299 a gallon. Buying it in Kearney, we paid 2.959 a gallon. An 18-ish dollar savings. It drives me nuts to think that ust a few years ago, our bill for the gas would have been 60-ish dollars, instead of the 150-ish we paid. We live in interesting times.
