Rebuild job was complete, but we had a oil leak. Looked like valve cover gasket was leaking. Was supposed to try it this weekend but I ended in the hospital my self w a A-Fib episode. Hopefully I will be home tomorrow and try it by the weekend.

OK I will bite.. why Baby?

James, my wife said I was too grumpy and needed a "new baby" to get the "happiness juices flowing again. So I got a ski and named it Baby! Now if I can ever get on the water again I'll be a happy camper!

whenever I get grumpy my wife says "suck it up buttercup" she certainly hasn't said, "hey your being a real prick, go buy a ski or something"

I guess I married the wrong woman.

Well after 15 years of having sold my Polaris SL900 to fund our new life together she decided I have suffered enough.

Update:

Baby hit the waters this weekend and performed better than hoped. It pulls hard all the way to 7400 rpm. My friend punked me by giving me a learner's key and I played with it for about two hours. Eventually he came clean and programmed a regular. Needless to say how things have changed in the last 15 years. [emoji12]
