Rented a pontoon on Powell today. Haven’t been here in over 40 years. Place is incredible especially at 20mph when you can enjoy it😁

Navajo canyon? Looks amazing! Any debris?
Yep and yep. We caught a decent sized piece of driftwood. Quick stop and a reverse/forward and it was gone. My boys traded spots up front shouting out directions after that.

Did you burn the house down?
🤣 Thought about it 🤣 thank God it's not my house, this is the 2nd one, we've also 2 crickets in the house😳

Yeah that fukin cricket is 2+ inches long

Edit: This thing isn't a cricket, it's a Katydid, some say it's a grasshopper that's decided to be violent. It's a predator that will bite and draw blood, it is a known predator of the endangered Songbird, yes this thing kills birds and frogs.

Looks great.
So what size and pitch is it?
Thanks, it's a 10" with a 15 pitch, I found Jim's prop shop and he's 4 blocks from my restaurant, I had no idea he was there! He's got an 11"- 14 pitch for $400...I'm a little anal on how different sizes and pitches perform

Will he let you try it out? Gotta try a bunch at this altitude to see what works best. Took me a long time to dial in my ski boat at 5000 ft.......

He said the one I have is better for top end..I'm gonna try it out prolly next week.
The 11" 14 pitch he said was more for holeshots and planing out quicker. I might just snag it for $400, as new props are at least 1k.
I'll keep ya posted on the test drive next week.

Going home 4hrs and 10min late. Had to fix the plane from a bird strike during the previous flight. They epoxied the hole 😳

Fuel transfer issues now, still haven't taken off, we are now 5hrs delayed 🤬

This plane came in from Detroit and had a bird strike during the flight. It was supposed to then go to Minnesota but the repair delayed that flight and after 3.5hrs, they gave that flight our plane that was already on the ground expecting us to take off on time on their plane on time, well that didn't happen so now delta has 2 planes that were delayed for 1 issue, they robbed Peter to pay Paul and Peter got fucked twice.
