I went to check on the repairs on my boat this morning, get the winterizing
set up and square away on my bill. The engine was running rough after my
overheating episode this summer. My new mechanic found that the port side
exhaust manifold gaskets had failed due to the overheating and were allowing
water into 2 of the cylinders. They also found that the oil cooler was
leaking and the wrong spark plugs were installed (I had my old marina do a
tune up on the boat last summer).

Every time the *OMC Certified* mechanic at my old marina touched my boat he
screwed something up. First he never replaced the impeller like I asked him
to, saying he checked it and was working fine. Then the boat overheated
because the impeller failed. Then he installed the wrong temperature
thermostat when trying to "fix" the problem, never finding the bad manifold
gasket. Earlier he used the wrong spark plugs during a routine tune-up.

Boy am I glad we switched marinas and now have a good mechanic. ;-)

Jim, did the "new" mechanic feel there was no other engine damage?

Unless the winterizing is already done, I'd still ask them to run a
compression test, to see if a cylinder is low on compression. ie burned
halve, blown head gasket, or even a cracked head.

These engines are pretty tough, but can still be hurt by accessive
heat, and in some cases, it doesn't take much, either.

Yes, they ran a compression test on all cylinders and said there was no
damage.

Actually it is good karma John as things are all fixed and I found a
great marina and mechanic.

My *bad karma*, as you and Reggie talked about in recent months, was
due to a dumbass presenting himself as an OMC certified mechanic. My
other *bad karma* was due to an old sump pump I failed to change.

LOL....I guess this *karma* thing is easy to turn around.


Hope everything works out for Jim. ;)


Why thank you John, but if already has. ;-)

Anyway........Friends are coming over in 15 minutes or so to watch the
OSU/BGSU game and then feast on 6 slabs of baby back ribs I marinated
in my special wet rub overnight. 3 slabs are cooked.....3 more are in
the oven as I type this. They will later be slathered with BBQ sauce
and grilled for 5 to 10 minutes on the outside grill.

Beer is on ice. Cole slaw was made this morning. Mmmm, mmmmm.

I remember telling JimH that his mechanic was a dumbass last summer, for
all the reason listed here. Yet, JimH response was his mechanice was an
OMC certified mechanic, and who was I to question his mechanice's
judgment. There is an old expression, "Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool my twice, shame on me". I remember JimH not only getting fooled
over and over again, but being very nasty when I told him him mechanic
was an dumbass whose ignorance was going to cost him money. Some
people wonder why so many bad things happen to them, when to everyone
else it is obvious.

JimH is not known as one who heeds good advice. It sounds like his new
mechanic is sure finding a lot of things to 'fix'. I hope he's not letting
himself in for another scam. I'd be checking a few things myself before
letting all that work be done.

But hey, he didn't ask for my advice, and if he did I wouldn't see it

Actually not true. I gave him credit when I found out. And it was not the
manifold itself but the gasket so thechnically his advice was not correct.

Anyway...................

Some folks like to live their lives remembering the petty (and often untrue)
negative things of the past rather than enjoying the good things of the
present........making their entire life negative. John and bassy need to
watch the old Disney film "Old Yeller", especially the part where Fess
Parker talks to his son Tommy Kirk about how to get over losing his dog.

An interesting observation..........John is acting very *Kevinesque* lately.
Both need to chill and move on with life.

LOL!



We ate at the kitchen table (avoiding the mess by eating in the dining room
over nice carpeting) and at the adjacent kitchen counter (we had 11 people
in total). The atmosphere was relaxed and informal. The ribs were great
and OSU played an acceptable but uninspiring game. Later, while sitting
around the family room and talking about nothing some of our friends had
seconds......all while sitting on upholstered furniture and not getting
sauce on the furniture. No drips, spills or stains.............we knew they
could do.

It was a good day..............my boat is fixed.............no furniture was
ruined while eating ribs.......we had a great time with our friends. Add to
that the fact that our daughter now has full senses back in her tongue after
the removal of 4 wisdom teeth.

Wahoo! We now officially have good karma. ;-)

PS: Dog gone it! If we only knew restoring our karma from bad to good was
only this simple we would have spent the money months ago to have it
changed. ;-)

to, saying he checked it and was working fine. Then the boat overheated
because the impeller failed. Then he installed the wrong temperature
thermostat when trying to "fix" the problem, never finding the bad manifold
gasket. Earlier he used the wrong spark plugs during a routine tune-up.

Boy am I glad we switched marinas and now have a good mechanic. ;-)


Again.......bipolar....
When this first happened, you actually praised your old mechanic when
someone suggested you seek a new one. Now he's an idiot.....typical.

Unless the winterizing is already done, I'd still ask them to run a

These engines are pretty tough, but can still be hurt by accessive

I remember telling JimH that his mechanic was a dumbass last summer, for
all the reason listed here. Yet, JimH response was his mechanice was an
OMC certified mechanic, and who was I to question his mechanice's
judgment. There is an old expression, "Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool my twice, shame on me". I remember JimH not only getting fooled
over and over again, but being very nasty when I told him him mechanic
was an dumbass whose ignorance was going to cost him money. Some
people wonder why so many bad things happen to them, when to everyone
else it is obvious.

Well, we know you never go to a bar to pick up dates. Your two

You're almost correct... just one partner, my wife.



You keep your's close at hand too, right? Your mom. You sick canuck.




Childish name calling........
Calling people names like punk just shows that you are an insecure

Obviously to some of you there doesn't seem much to life then nasty

Actually it is good karma John as things are all fixed and I found a
great marina and mechanic.

My *bad karma*, as you and Reggie talked about in recent months, was
due to a dumbass presenting himself as an OMC certified mechanic. My
other *bad karma* was due to an old sump pump I failed to change.

LOL....I guess this *karma* thing is easy to turn around.


Hope everything works out for Jim. ;)


Why thank you John, but if already has. ;-)

Anyway........Friends are coming over in 15 minutes or so to watch the
OSU/BGSU game and then feast on 6 slabs of baby back ribs I marinated
in my special wet rub overnight. 3 slabs are cooked.....3 more are in
the oven as I type this. They will later be slathered with BBQ sauce
and grilled for 5 to 10 minutes on the outside grill.

Beer is on ice. Cole slaw was made this morning. Mmmm, mmmmm.


In the oven??? And you call THAT **** BBQ?

Hmmm. I still can't find any part in those threads that support Reggies
attack on me when he said:

==============

I remember telling JimH that his mechanic was a dumbass last summer, for
all the reason listed here. Yet, JimH response was his mechanice was an OMC
certified mechanic, and *who was I to question his mechanice's judgment.*
There is an old expression, "Fool me once, shame on you.Fool my twice, shame

I remember JimH not only getting fooled over and over again, but *being very
nasty when I told him him mechanic* was an dumbass whose ignorance was going

==========

Where did I get nasty. When did I question him? I looked at both links you
provided and could not find me doing things.

But I did read Reggie butting in on a thread about scum at the waterline
trying to stir the pot with me and Harry with a whole new topic, then having
JohnH ride up on his pony and defending Reggie, with you soon following
suit. It then became a JimH bashing thread spearheaded by the 3 of you.

Anyway I am done with you. Like Reggie you come here only to stir the pot
and try to start fights with me and others here. You are one of, if not the
most angriest and spiteful persons I have ever known.

Now go join Reggie in the bozo bin. The 2 of you can continue to follow me
around and post nasty things about me. You are the ones looking foolish.

Good bye.

You stirred the pot, Jim, with your lies and accusations about me and
my family. Are you still trying to lie to everyone here and saying that
you never did that to ME? Did you happen to see the posts that tells
the story otherwise? You are getting good at showing everyone here what

This is a classic!! Here JimH has went for at least a year posting lies
and untrue accusations about me, and worse, about my family. Now he
whines about someone saying "nasty things" about him?????

Before you go, I've still not heard your comments about your lies and
accusations to my family. Remember? You said you never said anything
about me and my family, only Kevins, right? I then posted several of
your lies that were TO ME. What do you say about them? Also, let's just
say you DID only tell those lies and accusations about Kevin and HIS

I think obviously most of us would stick up for our families, certainly
in person. In person, I doubt you have this problem often. On the
internet? I'm not sure what I'd do. It depends...on how serious I
think I should take him. On how anonymous we are--I mean how personal
can it be when you don't know the person that say things about you but
doesn't know you either, and you know he doesn't know you and he knows,
and everyone knows that nobody knows anybody here online...mostly.
Whew. Anyway, I guess it would depend, but I could see how I could
call the guy a jerk, don't worry about defending the obvious, and just
move on.

If we did know each other, or it got real personal, or something
private was exposed on the internet that shouldn't have been, or if it
got nasty in person, then we'd have some issues...that I would probably
follow up in person.

I guess most of us watching this fued thing go don't know what you're
talking about. The only thing I've really taken from this is the guy
doesn't like his former mechanic because he messed everything up, and
got the situation corrected with a new guy...but at one time he
defended his mechanic to some of you...and that was apparent a dumn
thing. Well, it is very common for people to want to defend there guy,
especially if the credentials part works out and they like him. That's
typical. That's a guy who is a loyal customer for life if you take
care of him. It's unhealthy to go out and 3 bid everything like in
industry engineering projects (and even then often not). If this isn't
the story, then as far as this thread is concerned, I'm lost. And I
don't find the need to follow every link from past threads, so I may
have missed something.

So, maybe a lot of us don't know anything about this slander towards
your family. The only reason I have a notion of it is because you
brought it up here. Maybe I'm in the minority. Don't know. If he
really did this, and you aren't exagerating things or misinterpreting
anything, then being frustrated makes sense. Do you know each other?
Is it a situation where it isn't already obvious it's just internet
smack talk? Are you just po'ed and find that its easy to strike back
on the internet? Other?

Okay, just to prove how dumb you are
From
http://dictionary.law.com

slander
n. oral defamation, in which someone tells one or more persons an
untruth about another, which untruth will harm the reputation of the
person defamed. Slander is a civil wrong (tort) and can be the basis
for a lawsuit. Damages (payoff for worth) for slander may be limited to
actual (special) damages unless there is malicious intent, since such
damages are usually difficult to specify and harder to prove. Some
statements, such as an untrue accusation of having committed a crime,
having a loathsome disease or being unable to perform one's occupation,
are treated as slander per se since the harm and malice are obvious and
therefore usually result in general and even punitive damage recovery
by the person harmed. Words spoken over the air on television or radio
are treated as libel (written defamation) and not slander on the theory
that broadcasting reaches a large audience as much as if not more than
printed publications

Where does it say in there that slander has to be "in person"???
What you are getting confused about is that many times slander over the
air is TREATED as libel "on the theory that broadcasting reaches a
large audience as much as if not more than printed publications".

I really doubt if it will happen, because I don't do anything to ****
him off.


Oh, you will. He's done it to everyone else here in the newsgroup. All
it takes it to prove him wrong about something, and tell him he's
wrong, and off he'll go!
