It's True!

It really is true that once you retire you really don't have time to get everything done...there is just too much to do and the days just whiz by :-)

After finding out the 1975 Johnson 9.9 motor that came with the boat does start but with a lot of effort, we decided that we really wanted something lighter and easier.  Out came the Pro Bass and Cabela catalogs and electric trolling motors compared with a Minn Kota 40 looking pretty good.  Between the catalogs and a call to Cabela's in Eugene we decided to try Bi-Mart as we really wanted to fish tomorrow.  

...and this is what just fell into the cart along with a battery.

After shopping we had more trouble trying to find the park with the boat launch at Twin Rivers (the North and South Umpqua Rivers meet here).  We did find another lovely little park on the way.  Wish I had taken a picture or two of the park as it was one of those warm, last days of summer.  

Then it was home to make modifications to the transom.  This was a togetherness job.... ;-)

Notice the old piece of plywood....gone!

Corian cutting board from the kitchen....on!

And layered on top a piece of composite wood decking...finished!

Tomorrow, rain or shine, fishing!
