Thanks!!

Getting my boat back out and ready for fishing now that my son is interested and old enough to go fishing on it. It's sat more or less for the past 2 years. Am getting ready to tackle changing out the water pump impeller, but wanted to see if anyone had any tips/tricks before I get started. Did...

Yeah, I'm sure the cost varies across the country. At that price it would make a bit more sense. But it would still take a LOT for me to get to the point of raising chickens though. I'm cranky enough currently raising 2 kids under 5!!

I know several people that raise chickens. I've heard much complaining from all of them. Everything from the mess, maintenance, stench, predators, etc. Makes it extremely easy for me to never consider raising chickens. Even if it was cost effective, for me, it wouldn't be worth the headache. My...

Wondering if anyone has heard from @crazyboat? Looks like he hasn't been on since late November. I hope he, and everyone else, is well!!!

Honestly, I don't know the exact PSI. What I do is get everything setup and take the air hammer with the rivet tool installed to a scrap piece of 2x4. I set the compressor so the rivet tool just slightly dents the wood. This allows enough pressure to properly set the rivet without tearing up the...

I've done the same. Not just repair, but setting dozens of rivets on my transom and other spots on my boat when I overhauled it. Harbor Freight 3 gallon compressor, Harbor Freight air impact hammer and appropriate rivet tool. I use the head of a 5# hammer as the bucking tool. Zero issues with...

I saw Jim post a couple of pictures on Facebook the other night. One looked to be at least a 7#. Hoping he has hit double digits since then.

Sweet!! I've still got nearly 4 weeks before I can finally wet a line for the year. But it'll be for my annual 4 day trip with some buddies to a power plant lake in Virginia. ALWAYS a good time. Am really looking forward to it. Nice to see you back on the forums LDUBS!!!

3 positives at my work in the last week, and 1 out so far this week awaiting test results. Our administrators father is dead, mother is in ICU on a vent and husband is at home with bilateral pneumonia......all from Covid. Vaccines started rolling out this week. As a health care worker I should...

I work as an Orthopaedic Technologist (casting, splinting, bracing, etc.) in an Orthopaedic office. I've been to work everyday through all of this. April and May were rough with surgery centers and elective surgeries shut down. Thought we were going to start laying off. But things picked back up...

The pink or blue insulation foam from Lowe's or Home Depot is what most use. It's closed cell and doesn't absorb water. I've had it under my floor and seats for 6 or 7 years now with zero issues. I even fill up the hull of my boat a time or two a year to check for leaks. Pulled the floor up a...

We bought a Purple Hybrid mattress last November. I love it. My wife hates it and ended up putting a foam topper on her side due to it causing her back pain. I was having back pain from our old wore out mattress which went away after getting the Purple. Next time around we'll spring for a Sleep...

On my 1648 I run a 24V, 74# Minn Kota Maxxum using 2 Everstart group 27 batteries. I also pull of each battery independently for 12V for stereo, bilge pump x 2, LED nav lights, LED interior lights, sonar, LED light bar, 12V plug x 2 and starter for my '94 Johnson 50/35 jet. I have a NOCO Gen 2...

My old boat gas is all I use in my trimmer and leaf blower. Zero issues. Even put almost 6 gallons of nearly year old gas from the boat into my truck earlier this spring. Again, zero issues.

I have not, but it sounds interesting!! I figure he'll get enough use out of this that if the motors and/or gears implode with the increase in power, it'll be well worth it to upgrade them to keep this tractor running. So far so good though. He's been riding the crap out of it and no issues...

Yes. It's his preferred way to steer around the vehicles in the driveway.
