I'm an an idiot and posted this in the wrong thread where it probably made no sense at all so I'm reposted where I meant to.

I picked up a 2012 Honda 5hp outboard motor from some old geezer who said it wouldn’t idle because of a part in the throttle linkage he broke or lost (he didn’t exactly remember ) Anyway ,it starts first pull ,and works perfectly so no idea what the dude was talking about .$100.00 and an oil change (a whopping 1/2 litre of oil ) and I am expecting many years of great service .

Be careful here us old geezers have and are kind hearted! The money doesn’t mean as much as the smile! That’s why grandkids get nice things…motorcycles come too mind here…

19 gallons of diesel @3.299$. That was after driving 345 miles to my Dad's place in Rice Lake, WI from home and another 162 miles from Dad's to Mauston, WI before filling up. The Baby Power Stroke in the eff one fiddy delivered 29.5 mpg @ 72 mph on the way up.

Had a headwind on the way back and it dropped to 28.4.

Some briquets for the snake method. . Had a 12lb bag strapped to the back of the Hawk. Works better than lump for smoking with steady temps. Ribs n salmon getting the smoke.
