    Pigskin Pick’em

    Having been a Bills fan for more than a half-century, I do not guess on football game final scores, and that has just proven correct again. I looked at joining this one, because its such a great group of people - but at this point, I'll stick to the game plan.

    never thought I'd give a carp, but the backup cameras and ACC (when used to your liking) I now miss when driving vehicles with out them

    Cars you should have kept.

    Wanted one of those - had a 1970 Buick Skylark, really liked that car, and you could work on it, knew a little, learned a lot

    New Stuff on Vehicles likes/dislikes

    I gotta remember to put something like that up in the new-to-us boat lift up at camp so other people know when the boat is in the correct spot on the lift.

    Next time anchor.

    Ya, people on boats, you never know. Anchored in current, experienced boaters/swimmers jumping off the bow, staying close to boat drifting gently, grab a line in water off the stern, back in boat, repeat when hot again. The ONE GUY touting his experience as a diver, finally gets hot, jumps of...

    Caffeine good for sleepy old guy ?

    1-2 cups in the morning, some stretching, light exercise, start working on stuff for the Admiral and me. Never drank it at all til a few years ago when I used to work for an employer.

    2025 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    remember that, what year was it? btw, the Chiefs to have a short season this year (hopefully, but then again, not sure if the Bills fan in me wants that...)

    1986 Ski Nautique 2001 resto project

    Helpful thread and pics, thank you! That boat looks great, definitely better cosmetically than our 1991 Mastercraft. We're OK mechanically, for now.

    Resurfacing marine plywood decking

    if it's going to be raft (and not a boat), and who knows how long it'll float, just cover-up the existing deck surface

    2025 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    As a Bills fan, that could work in the Bills favor, but probably doesn't matter anymore Then, of course, there's this... "An Ohio woman has sued Buffalo Bills first-round draft pick Maxwell Hairston, accusing him of sexually assaulting her in 2021 when they both attended the University of...

    Need help with ID of what's left of an 18' alum boat.

    That camper looks pretty-cool, and must be a hoot to pilot! Your sketch and plan to resto-mod the boat, then take an ocean voyage in it are inspiring. Your mariner-skills must be top-notch too. Looking forward to seeing/reading about your resto-mod and journey!

    Can You Wear This Shirt

    There it is - punchcards! In our first college engineering classes, we used punchcards and FORTRAN 77, then it was an HP with RPN. I still miss RPN, and sometimes try to use it on my little hand-held computer (aka "phone").

    VP 5.7 gsi - Temperature Rising

    Rust and stuff in the cooling system? The risers on my "VP" V-8 had some in there when we put a new long-block in there a number of years back. After they were cleaned-up and reinstalled, the cooling-system in that boat worked great for quite some time.

    Cool day on the river yesterday

    The kids musta loved it, thanks for sharing! We had a great day out on 7th Lake in the Adirondacks with our son and wife running her Mom's boat out of their beautiful camp's boathouse on 7th lake, while our grandkids tubed. We stopped at "the beach", met some very nice people (we ended-up...
