Yamalube | Outboard Motor Oil - Part 19

Some Wasted Yamaha 2m Oil

IMG_12My son likes to rummage through my tool bench in the garage to find the tools he needs to build his birdhouses. My son learned how to build them in shop class in school and he’s taken a liking to working with his hands. The birdhouses he builds are getting more intricate and he is able to sell them to our neighbors for a reasonable price. I’m glad he found a hobby.

Every so often, he would forget to clean up his mess in the garage. He would leave tools lying around and one time he knocked over some of my Yamaha 2m oil and just left the spill there for two whole days. It stained the floor but he was responsible enough to replace what he spilled. I taught him the value of a dollar and how he shouldn’t waste things if he could help it. He said he learned his lesson and now he cleans up every time.

Rainy Days Marks The Changining Of My Yamalube Oil

NSR50ITEMS001There’s usually not much to do on rainy days. I can’t do any yard work or any outdoor repairs to my house. My wife usually takes care of the inside of the house and she doesn’t really need me to fix or clean anything. So on rainy days, I like to sit in the garage and work on my boat. It keeps me busy and prevents me from spending the entire day in front of the television watching mindless shows.

I try to change my outboard motor oil at least once every two months. I’ve been using Yamalube oil and it hasn’t given me any problems. I like the sound and feel of a well-maintained engine. I also check to see if I need to replace any parts or if any parts are showing some major wear. I usually check the internet for any parts that I need. I don’t take my boat out very often in the winter, but I always make sure that it’s in good condition.

Taking Chances Without Yamalube 2 Cycle Oil

dogbaotMy friend likes to do everything by the book and doesn’t usually stray from the given instructions. That’s fine if you want to live a boring life but I prefer to take some chances. I like to ignore the GPS sometimes and find my own directions to my destination. I go to restaurants I’ve never been to and try their food to see if it’s any good. I also like to take the trail less traveled whenever I go hiking. Sometimes you find that there is more out there if you decide to venture out and trust your own instincts.

My friend recently found out that I don’t use the recommended Yamalube 2 Cycle Oil for my outboard engine. I told him that I use another brand that was a little bit cheaper in price but is essentially the same product. He argued that the manufacturer puts certain synthetics in the Yamalube oil that is custom made for the outboard engine. My engine was running fine ever since I made the switch but my friend still wasn’t convinced. He told me that I spent a lot on my engine therefore I should take care of it by using the right products for it. I haven’t decided to take his advice yet. I’m just waiting and seeing if anything will go wrong with my engine.

Won Some Yamalube 2w

accy2wjbwv-250I consider myself a lucky guy in some aspects. I’m lucky enough to have a good family and friends. I’m also lucky enough to be relatively healthy. I’m always thankful for these things. Although in games of chance, I’m not so lucky. I almost never win any type of lottery or raffle. Pretty much anything involving a prize or money, I’m not going to do well in.

The one time I actually one something it was during a random raffle drawing at a church picnic. The prize wasn’t anything major, just some Yamalube 2w, but it was something. I was running low on engine oil anyway so I was glad I was able to win something that I had some use for. Some people have all the luck when it comes to winning games of chance. A friend of mine won a 42 inch high definition television from a slot machine at a casino. He just put in some money and hit a button and he won. This same friend also ran into some lingerie models at a night club and got to hang out with them for the entire night. Oh well. I still wouldn’t trade what I have for anything in the world.

Words of ‘Wisdom’

Words-of-Wisdom-1024x718My mother always had strange words of advice to impart on me, that I’ve never really hear from any source other than her. Somehow, however, many of these words of ‘wisdom’ have stuck with me into my adulthood. I’ve noticed, on a number of occasions, her bizarre words of advice resulting in some of my own decisions.

For instance, one of her ideas was that no one should make a purchase on an empty stomach. So recently I made sure to have my fill of food before I went out to purchase a few bottles of Yamalube 2M for my boat. These weird little quirks of hers have stuck with me, but they haven’t ever caused me any hardships, so maybe there’s something to all of her strange little superstitions.

All I Want For Christmas

christmas-gift-1024x640Last Christmas, my gift to myself was a boat. I spent a lot of time getting it prepared properly so that I would be able to use it fairly often from spring until fall – because I don’t live somewhere where there’s much of a boating season in the winter – and it really paid off with the amount of good times I’ve had on it. Everyone in my family knows how much I love my boat.

That’s how I know that, this year for Christmas, I can expect to be getting a whole bunch of Christmas gifts related to boating. For instance, I snuck a peek at my wife’s e-mail and I noticed that she had placed an order on some bottles of Yamalube 2-M, which will work perfectly for my boat. I’m very excited for Christmas to come this year!

Tips for a Smooth Ride

My best friend has had his boat a lot longer than I have, so he knows a lot more about boating and boats in general than I probably ever will. He’s always giving me hints and tips about what I should be doing to make sure that my boat is getting its proper maintenance and so it’s at maximum efficiency.

For instance, he was recently talking to me about his experience with fuel additives and he was making some pretty convincing statements, honestly. He wound up convincing me to pick up a Yamalube Ringfree Plus fuel additive because he said that it would make my boat run more smoothly.

Scarcely Stocked

I stopped by a boating store the other day while I was doing a little bit of shopping out on the town. I’ve had a boat myself for quite some time now so I always make a point to stop by the boating store to see if they’ve got anything in stock that I might need, just in case there’s something I’ve been meaning to purchase for my boat but haven’t gotten around to actually buying yet.

While I was in the store, I made sure to grab up a bottle of Yamalube 2W oil for my boat; I’ve been having a good deal of trouble finding it lately in brick and mortar stores, so seeing a bottle of it sitting there, I felt like I had to buy it. I decided it was a good purchase to make; when I went back recently, they didn’t have any in stock!

Winter Fishing for Bass

We had our last fishing trip of the year just recently. We caught a decent amount of bass, which was great because we all actually enjoy eating bass. A lot of people are fans of trout and salmon, but they tend to forget that bass is a perfectly edible fish that I think can be quite tasty if it’s prepared correctly.

I stopped off and got some Yamalube oil on our way home because I figured it’d be a good time to do some maintenance on my boat since we were about to hit wintertime and there’s not a whole lot of boating to be done in the winter. It was pretty chilly even here on our last trip, but once winter really kicks off, it’ll be unbearable, unless you’re out to do some ice fishing.

Leftover Oil

My best friend has always been a huge fan of boating and fishing and he finally got around to purchasing his own boat recently. He’s kind of become a little consumed with it, trying to make sure everything’s always in perfect condition. Boating has pretty much been all he’s talked about for weeks.

I used to have my own boat but I sold it when I was running low on money a while back. Even though I sold my own boat a while ago, I still had some Yamalube oil sitting around so I decided to give it to my friend, knowing he’d be able to make a lot more use out of it than I could.

Nautical Supplies Store

I went to a nautical supplies store with a friend of mine. They sell all kinds of things there, from scuba gear to fishing rods to boating equipment. Personally, I was there to pick up some fly fishing tackle. I’ve been going fishing for a long time but I’d never done any fly fishing before and I thought it’d be something new and fun to do to mix up our next fishing trip.

While I was taking a look at the different fly rods and accessories that the store had available, my friend was checking out general boating supplies because he recently got a new boat. He wound up picking up some Yamalube 2M oil for his boat because he needed to do some maintenance on it.

Scuba Diving

I decided that I wanted to try out some scuba diving; it’s something I’ve never done before but always wanted to do. I’ve got a boat, so with some supervision and some classes, I might be able to go out and do it with some friends after I’ve got enough knowledge about it.

Recently, after signing up for scuba classes, I went to this scuba store not too far away from where I live. I got a whole bunch of scuba gear that I would need for going out on my own scuba expeditions; I wanted to have high quality equipment to keep myself safe when I was out scuba diving because I think I’ll end up doing this quite a bit. Afterwards, I picked up some Yamalube 2W oil for my boat.
