Yamaha Outboard

Since the weather is too cold I'm focusing on work that I can complete in the garage.  I have stripped down the outboard and there is a little corrosion I'm dealing with.  The paint is bubbled up in a few areas and I'm removing the white rust.  I have bought zinc chromate primer and the factory paint to touch it up.  I have not started the outboard yet but it should run great it looks to be in good condition.  The plan is to replace the spark plugs and replace the gear oil, grease all zerks and then paint.  The rest will be left for the spring time.

I'm excited to try this outboard out.  It has a charging output and at eight horses it should push the boat well.
The snow fell this weekend so it was snow angels this morning with Emily.

Emily truly enjoyed the snow this morning.  We ran around the back yard with our two Golden Retrievers Dory and Cutter.  Above a snow angel landed on our deck.

Wednesday this week we enjoyed the parade of the Seahawks through downtown with about 700,000 other fans.  We were able to work our way to the front and get close to all of the players.  Thank you Seahawks for a great season.
