    My set up is a bit different, I took the intake hose and put it in a 5 gallon bucket with mixed antifreeze and ran it till the mix was discharged. I used real anitfreeze. I also have a couple of drain cocks way down low. I am running a single screw no outdrive.

    Lesson learned

    I drain the motor then I pump it full of antifreeze, pull the thermostat so I don't have to run the engine till it warms up to pump the mix thru till it discharges. Cheap insurance and makes me comfortable all winter long.

    My neighbor rode his bike over yesterday, he bought a 49cc motor kit that mounted to a regular pedal bike, he said he paid less than $200 for it. It goes pretty fast.

    NO insects or spring birds this year.

    Pelicans flew in to pay a visit yesterday, the eagles did not care for their visit. Funny how some birds are intolerant of other birds in their area.

    Best buffing compound or cleaner wax

    I live at the end of a penulisa beautiful bay out my garage window. I spend a lot of time watching birds negotiate bay space in the spring. I saw something this spring I watched loons mate, considering how vocal loons are the process was very quiet. Cross that off a birders list.

    I hope for another summer like last summer we got to sit at the end of the dock and watch loons fish and teach their youngster. Loon migration is amazing. We are so blessed to live on a super clear lake with visibility on a secchi of 14 feet.
