    At the bare minimum

    Can't eat the hot stuff. Did eat a spoonful of catfish cheese bait once for $10. (damn alcohol)

    Fried chicken addict here...

    Am I detecting another fried chicken aficionado? I learned last night that it was repeatable. Now to work on tweaking this combo. There is always something to try. Maybe soaking longer in the milk/vinegar. Or some butter flavored Crisco. Surely they will have better heart bypasses in a...

    Fried chicken addict here...

    I'm in pursuit of the ultimate homemade fried chicken and I'm getting closer by trial and error. I've combined a few different ideas and recipes and have come up with this. I take a measuring cup and put a tablespoon or so of vinegar ( I use organic but I don't know if that matters, just what...

    Trailer Painting

    Like the others said, brush/roller then rattle can for the nooks and crannies/corners. (international tractor red. just so I'll remember the color for touch up which I do need since I tried to park the boat on the fender last year.)

    water proofing

    +1 on what Ahab said. If you do some checking, most of the construction type plywood is made with waterproof glue anymore. Marine plywood is nothing more than a higher quality surface finish and fewer voids in the middle. AB grade versus CD etc. You can get treated marine as well, but I...

    Regarding removal of foam

    Back before I bought my boat I was checking on ordering one and I found a couple of places that made boats with a commercial designation. They had no foam and they also didn't have a horsepower rating. I've taken some of the foam out of mine. I've kind of wondered what the insurance company...

    Battery Box Power Station?

    Lawn solar lights huh? hm, I remember one of them stupid kid moments years ago when it seemed like a good idea to collect driveway reflectors. lol I'm pretty sure there was alcohol involved somewhere too.

    Battery Box Power Station?

    If you find one on sale I wouldn't avoid it. The problems with mine can be avoided I'm sure if you are careful. They are probably like everything else, made in the same factory and a different name put on it or use the same components. I plan on using some battery terminal protective spray...

    Battery Box Power Station?

    I use the Minn Kota one. It looks just like the atwood one and similar price. I'm not real impressed by mine. Positive terminal is loose on the outside, have to hold it to tighten. Guess I overtightened but didn't think so. When I took it out last fall the connections looked like they had...

    Showing my age

    ahh 1968.. what a year for me. Someone was still wiping my butt and changing my diaper for me! Can't remember it at all. (1year old)

    *Singing* "In the winter we can build a snowman"

    Wait a second..... that $%^@%&*& rodent that lives in the ground that eats a lot said it would be over. WHY HAS IT SNOWED MOST OF THE DAY? I can build a snowman now if I want. (cabin fever setting in....or maybe I got my meds off.. I'll let you know tomorrow!) **EDIT** Must be meds cause...

    Showing my age

    I have a similar situation. I looked in my storage a while back and I had forgotten I had one of those sony 300 disc changers. On the plus side they still sell them. Just a whole lot less than I paid for this one! LOL You can buy a mp3 player these days for almost nothing that holds way...

    Sleep study

    It took me a couple weeks to get used to mine, it's been over 10 years now and I can't sleep without it. It gets to be routine. Wait till the condensation builds up in the night and runs in your nose. Wakes you up real quick. Waterboard is what comes to mind. I've learned to run the hose...

    Seat Pedestals

    The answer is always- How much do you want to spend? Springfield economy pedestals are pretty cheap. Any of the usual stores have websites that will show you the differences in prices. While a 3/4 pin feels ok to me while fishing and I don't get the feeling it's going to break, I wouldn't use...

    Fish On Fabrications custom grab rails! **NEW PICS added**

    I don't know if I want to say "You know you are getting old when you really like this idea" or "I'm like a little kid with a New Toy!" But anyway I couldn't wait to see what they were going to look like on my boat! They aren't attached yet, just sitting there. Going to have to get it all the...

    quick disconnects for trolling motor?

    You can crimp but it takes the special crimper that looks like a pair of big bolt cutters. Had a set on my car trailer winch so I could take it off.
