All systems go

I backed my boat down the boat ramp at Water Works Park and fired her up this afternoon. After priming her about a half a dozen times and five or six attempts at staring her she came to life. I let the engine run long enough warm it up and open the thermostat. Aftrer shutting her down I fired it up again. She didn't skip a beat. I think we're ready to go.

I dropped a small piece of nightcrawler in Pond X, mostly out of boredom. After working my way around the pond and trying different depths with no luck I called it quits.
