One of those days

[Broke Down]

So I've had a sinus infection for a few days and got a steroid shot yesterday, I finally fell asleep this morning at 5:30am. I woke up around 9 and decided to finish wiring my trolling motor and clean the boat. Took the kids to a cub scout meet then put the boat in the water.......right off the bat, no plug. I load it back on the trailer and let it drain cracking jokes with a guy next to me saying he forgot his plug and straps still on a few weeks earlier. Got the plug in, cranked the engine, cranked it again.....again....bang it fires, dies at the dock picking the kids up and won't crank. Drop the trolling motor and it works flawlessly, that felt good. Crank the engine again and it will stay running pumping the bulb. You know it would die 30 feet from the trailer and I would have to get it on by hand. Call my brother-in-law and he reminds me about looking at the fuel filter inside the hull, yep.....completely corroded and sucking air. Oh well, back home, boat washed......ordered a pizza. Life is good.....haha.
