Thank you so much——- it’s more than I deserve.
Willbabees “Hot Singles” is my all time favourite——- found Welch again after forty years!
Plus——- he has more knowledge of Mercury 60/70’s than anyone on the planet.
Even the “Rude” ambassador (Lassie) hasn’t got the depth of knowledge that Bill Welch. Has.

Got interrupted before I really got started telling you about a friend of mine, Billy Seebold !
Met him the first time at Havasu 1969———— ihe had a big old black caddy.
He likes vanilla flavoured coffee creamer———- and has to Have Cheerios for breakfast or he’s Cranky all day.
Scared sh-tless Of Rocky Mountain railways—— But does tend to drive the snot out of a tunnel boat.
Some of you might have even heard of a couple of other Seebold’s——— Mike and Timmy!
But the boss lady of the whole Seebold set up is Lynne——— Bill can do exactly what he wants——— providing that’s ok with Lynne.
Im meeting him up at Tavares this coming November——— legend in his own lifetime and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet (in this world or the next) !
So, if your in Tavares for the OFF meeting————- pop in and say hi.

Had a good four hours in the shop on Saturday———— another coat of varnish on K111—- pipes fitted——- dug out the cockpit——— set up the screen——- front rail and some progress on the drives.
Made the mount, out of a left over lump of mahogany——— another couple of coats and we’re cooking with gas !
Last picture I saw of her——— she was sitting on a very nice triple axle—— might take a punt at doing one——— depends what I feel like on the night.
Weathers changed, wet, wild and windy——-with more to come.
Been thinking about getting myself a milling machine——— never used one, always thought they were just a horizontal drill that put a face on a flat piece. Mark tells me it’s much more—— might have to look into it.
Four weeks Tomorrow and I leave for Florida——- Mark launches his boat—-Maybe Richie Powers and Bill Welch —- Gene Langham—-will be able to come and join in the fun at the OFF meeting!
Will take a piccie if there’s good progress. I’ll get back to you later in the day!
Will answer your last question Pilgrim——- after I talked to Craig—— he drives a P1 better than anyone else I’ve seen !

Good for them Pilgrim——- memories are about all that’s left of OMC——- I’m not putting the boot in here, I always loved competing with them——— some of the best times of my life were in the day’s of the “FACTORY WARS” .
But when it comes to “OUTBOARD HISTORY with old knowledgeable people——— go to the off meeting at Tavares and talk to the likes of BAKOS -SIROIS — ODELLE LEWIS—GENE LANGHAM—- MIKE BUTLER—-BROWNIE—— RICH LUHRS——ROGER HINSDALE and a few dozen others———- now THATS a wealth of knowledge!!!!

Been one of those “Bear eats you” sort of day ——- started off with the four vents behind the driver——- did four sets, but none of them came out the way I wanted, so I binned the lot and walked away from K111.
started something new, but I don’t know what. After a couple of hours, I went back to K111—— looked at the gloss varnish and decided it was crap. Stripped it clean back to the wood——- that was a waste of a lot of hours.
Still, as my sainted mother used to say——- if a jobs worth doing ——— ????
Close of play———- still nothing to show!

A while since I had a “Better than expected” day Bob——— seems, the older I get, the dafter I get !
Find I’m doing things twice over, maybe I’m getting more pernickety——— or just less competent.
Did it again with the upholstery in the cockpit——- cream leather and dirty fingers simply do not go together.
Put a bolster all the way round “the office”—— lined the lot in leather———- result was a SHOULDA WASHED YOUR HANDS.
First job today, is to get the hull back to bare wood———- rubber gloves and clean hands——- trouble is——— Madam does not like me using the kitchen sink to get the crud off my hands——— but I’m not allowed to use the bathrooms with my work shoes on——— catch 22 really——-
Taking her to the hospital today for a scan——- then the dentist——— then the surgery.
Didnt want to know at the swop shop——- past the sell by date——- too many infirmities——- guess I’m stuck with her for some time yet !
