That’s awesome. Gunnar would ride in the backseat area with seats up and his head sticking over the main s console . His head would be next to mine. He would nudge me a little every now and then letting me know he was happy l We live in a small town and we would make our rounds. The girl at the...

Got a 7 lb fluke and used it a few times today as a stern anchor and a 15 lb navy anchor off the bow. Some times it was a little tough getting the fluke to set. But I only have about 3 foot of chain. I’ll try more chain. I threw it out when we got out of the boat to keep the wind from blowing...

I had a great Doberman. He was like my best friend went with me every where. I told people that wasn’t my truck it was his truck I’m just his driver. Very obedient and eager to please. But he knew when to turn it on. That night my wife heard the back doors to my shop rattling. I wen and grabbed...

I can see them taking a lot of time and care. Bees don’t punch a time clock like the fish business I grew up with.

Hello everyone, I’m planning the first of three trips to take grandkids to stay at Lake Somerville a few days and fish. This first trip is taking the most planning. After it I’m all set for the others. I’m doing my best to put them on some fish. I’m planning on using chum I have brewing and...

I have a similar incident. My first wife had a nephew that would sneak in our house in the middle of the night because he had been partying and didn’t want to go home. His dad would let him have it if he went home. I didn’t appreciate it at all and just happened to be pretty close friends with...

I use real butter to mix with honey then it goes on the biscuit. I’ve even put honey on pan sausage. Dog gone it now my beard needs a washing too.

That’s exactly what I had to deal with when I started on the boat. One day I figured I’d remove the flooring and see if it needed a rinsing out. Floor looked good on top. No slip coving etc. I unscrewed the metal strips and towards the bow there where old metal signs layered to make up that...

My homemade biscuits backed in a cast iron skillet!

I needed to replace the old one and while looking around I read a few articles (Here I go loosing myself in the internet again) about the different alloys. The aluminum alloy the anodes are made of is different from the aluminum on an outboard. And that it is good for backish water and could...

Amen brother, we had an awful year in our garden a few years ago and noticed we haven’t seen any bees. The next year we saw a few then a few more. But it’s nothing like it was 12 years ago when we moved here and built our garden. We have some friends that are about a 1/4 mile away as the bee...

I did some research last night. There’s other precious metals to go along with the platinum. Found more than one list of the topmost vehicles they are stolen from and F-series trucks where number one along with several hybrid models listed. Is you get a Diesel engine the no worries apparently...

I’ve been trying to figure out what they do with them. I didn’t know if there’s some kind of ring or something. Then again I need to google what all is inside them. I removed the shield today so I can use the truck for now but I’ll be ordering me an aftermarket metal shield that’s supposed to...

I may as well add. Speaking of thieves. Just yesterday I gathered up everything I needed to change oil in my F150. Removed the front spoiler that runs along t underneath the front bumper so I can fit myself underneath the truck. Went to crawl underneath and I saw the rear splash guard hanging...

Just received a new anode trim tab. It doesn’t give me any information about what alloy it is and I’m not sure I can tell. My boat goes to freshwater only so I wanted magnesium or at least aluminum. I’m afraid they sent me zinc. Could y’all look at the pictures and see if you can tell? I sure...

My wife was on the front porch above 10pm and could hear the back doors on the shop rattling. She came in and got me. I turned my Doberman loose out the back door of the house with me right behind him spot light in one hand and a property protector in the other. This guy was fast he cleared the...

Yes sir with today’s products you can put a watermelon in a marble sack. Where I applied that Cerakote ceramic plastic coating on the old shaft that spot still looks new and shiny. I have to force the height adjustment to move back and forth on the shaft until I get to the coated spot there it’s...

Thanks for the information. I have spray white lithium grease. Mine comes off the boat as soon as I’m off the water then it gets unloaded into the shop. If I’m going out the next day I’ll put the cover on the boat so no one can peak inside. Unfortunately we have a couple different houses in our...

Does it dry and stay slick? Or ever have any dirt etc stick to it. Silicone grease would be a lot cheaper than than Cerakote. Does it last awhile? Armor all and Pledge is what I used all these years because I was told to. But I’d have to redo it quite often.

I just took the tape off and thought I would post a pic. It’s easy to tell the little spot I put the Cerakote on the 12 year old shaft.
