Yea this one has a new motor. Before I got here the students drained the engine then filled up the hydraulic tank. You know how easy that can happen if you were in informed. It ran for a mile before locking up.

Worked for Deja Vu a couple years in Flint a little over a year in Port Huron and I don't really recall how long at Uncle Bucks in Durand. I spent so many nights at Uncle bucks the amount of time working and hanging out all seems to blur together.

Lou, that's why you should never put the drain plug back in until after you put the first quart of oil in....

Damn right, same reason you wait until you're about 400 yard from the dock if you're in a boat. Right, Chuck?

Sorry, Al. I can see how that gave you the impression Chuck may have taken his boat out without a drain plug. I referenced Chuck only because I know he has a boat and the subject was not hot tub back flips.
