I wonder how long that hike will take

Definitely looks like I'll be taking a walk around the lake. I pulled the spark plugs from the motor and there is water in the engine. I'm not a mechanic but I know that is pretty bad. I have no idea how the cylinders can get water in them, though. I mean the thing was running just fine right to the point where I shut it off last time. Wouldn't it have died if there was water in there? I'm not talking a little water, either. The damn things are full so you can actually see the water right up to the hole the spark plug goes into.

Crap. I'll mess around here for a while and walk around to the marina after lunch.

Unless there's some handy mechanic reading this who can help me out with a virtual engine overhaul?

The only possible scenario I can think of is that your engine block is cracked and you are leaking water into the cylinders through the break when you try to start it. The chance of this being the case is very, very remote but I can't think of any other reason. You just don't get cylinders full of water under any reasonable scenario.

I guess it won't matter too much what exactly is wrong with it. I rented it locally so they'll just swap it out with a different one. Still, it's a pain in the keister having to walk all the way to the marina.

Ah well, it'll be good exercise and the scenery is freaking gorgeous. I'll just try to enjoy the walk.

Aren't there other cabins there? I mean, you don't have to circumnavigate an entire lake, do you? Just walk to the next cabin and hitch a ride.

Most of the cabins are empty (it's out of season) but I am hoping to run into somebody. There aren't too many cabins along the side I walked yesterday in any case. The far side (from me) has a lot more so I don't think I'll have to hike the whole thing.

This is sort of wierd - your nom de plume is the same as a girl I dated a few years ago.

How do you know? Did you know Becky? Do I know you?

Becky misses you.

That is really twisted, lady. You are either seriously lacking in current events or you are about to get IP banned.

I'm pretty up to date, Sweet Meat. And she really does miss you. >:-}
