Short ride around Melton Lake-Edgemoor-Illinois. Just estimated the time

I have apparently gained a pound.  I have not been able to make myself run at lunch.

April 30

Weight is up a bunch.  I thought all the ditch digging and fairly normal eating would register a decline.  I drank a lot of water at Aubrey's last night and weekends mess up the poop schedule so Monday's tend to be up.  This is more than usual.  I also have not run since Paris.

I may go to the lake tonight to weedeat the front.  I have a drifting tree in the water beside the dock.  It is the whole durn tree, too heavy to haul up the bank, so I also need the chainsaw to cut it up.  I will have to pull 4 ft of it out of the water, cut off, then pull some more out.  This is the sort of drift wood that kills props in the spring time as the level comes up.

April 29

The outdoor wiring to the dock is now all finished.  I replaced the ceiling fan in the gazebo and wired in the lamppost.  Everything works, no sparks, fires or other drama.  The lamppost was much more difficult than I expected.  The outlet and photosensor were located at the top of post where all the connections had to be made.  It was tight. 

I got the boat almost dewinterized.  We have two problems.  One, the oile cooler inlet pipe is smashed (probably by the boat dealer when they winterized) so that the hose would not seal.  I bent it back into more or less round shape.  I don't know if it will seal.  And the drain plug on the exhaust manifold won't thread in.  It was cross-threaded years ago.  There are almost no threads left in the hole.  I am going to try a new plug.  If that doesn't work.  I may be in for a new manifold (and maybe an oil cooler).

Ditch digging. I buried the Romex for the lamppost. About 30 ft of trench. I still need to wire in the lamp. That is the easy part. Then the dock circuit will be finished. I also want to de-winterize the boat tomorrow.
