Yeah, it would be nice to do something different. Where do you suggest launching? At your marina?

Everything/everyone well?

Hey buddy. Lampe marina works well. We could get together with Samurai33. Niagara river is still on my short list though. Maybe I could talk my wife into it soon.

Everyone is well. Unfortunately our Cobalt is in the shop this week to diagnose a misfire. The Number 3 cylinder appears to be acting up. Waiting on a coil pack and replacing spark plug as we diagnose. 🤔
