Thanks for the warm welcome. I appreciate it.
I’m originally from Knoxville, TN and I’m now retired and living in Hampton, GA. For the past 4 years since I’ve retired I’ve been fixing everything around the house that’s got a motor on it plus my collection of old Mitchell fishing reels as a hobby due to boredom and now I’m buying things to fix.
I grew up at my grandfather’s Three Rivers Boat Dock & Restaurant at the forks of the Holston, French Broad and Tennessee Rivers in Knoxville. I watched my uncle repair a lot of outboard motors when I was a kid hanging out at the dock. My grandpa and uncle also had a lot of boat races at Three Rivers back in the 50s and early 60s. That’s where the best years of my life were spent. Those were the good old days!
Here are a few photos from back then.
