    So, my 2025 Bayliner VR5 200 hp 4.5L mercruiser STILL barely pulls me up

    As we age, things get more difficult. How old is your ski? Newer skis make a world of difference. I got a new slalom last year for the first time in about 30 years. I struggled to get up on my old Connelly HP. With the new one, I pop right up. Same boat...same driver. If you have a ski...

    Re-post of Boomyal's Brined Turkey Recipe!

    Flathead, Is this just a store bought bird that is frozen? If so, yes, no issue. That's what we use every time we make this brine. Thaw the turkey, brine per recipe, and enjoy. Absolutely delicious smoked with some apple, hickory, and/or pecan. Cook to about 165 to 170 max. The juices just...

    Older Ryobi 18v drill battery

    I have an old set of those too. I bought new 18V green tools to expand my collection and all the batteries are interchangeable. The new Lithium 18V batteries fit and work great in the older tools. The newer charger will charge both the NiCad and LiOn batteries. The older charger will not...

    Boat reverse polarity

    I believe you have that slightly backwards. Red (typically a switched wire) or black are hot and should go to the line or hot terminal, typically a brass or gold screw, White would go to the neutral or silver terminal on 120V receptacles.

    How Do You Utilize Sliding Rear Window on Your Pickup

    No idea what you mean. 😋 Nice to have the sunroof cracked and the rear slider open. Good airflow with little noise.

    Turbo tax

    We've used Turbo Tax for many years. Never an issue. Pretty simple, but the upselling does get annoying. :)

    Starting your car in this cold weather.

    Haha. Who has a manual choke any longer? Tractor at the farm has one, but I ain't driving that on a day like today! I found this one funny. That could have been worded better. I think the intent was to not crank for more than 10-15 seconds. "Try to start your car, which should be turned...

    cooking

    Gotta rest brisket for a min of 2 hours. I have a dedicated old Coleman plastic cooler I use and stuff it with blankets during the rest. It can rest for many hours and still be OK. I've rested up to 5 hours when the brisket gets done much faster than I expect. Leave the wireless probe in and...

    cooking

    I've had the point get done before the flat and vice versa. I wouldn't separate them until after cooking, but with a probe in each part, I can make a better informed decision on when to pull from the smoker. I now separate before cooking. That way the entire flat is seasoned and I get more...

    Joe, multiple probes for different thickness of meat or multiple things in the smoker. If I cook a whole packer brisket, I put one in the flat and one in the point. Or cooking meatloaf and chicken at the same time allows me to know when to pull the chicken as its always done sooner.

    cooking

    I've had similar issues, speck. Mine were caused by the placement of the base unit in relationship to the probes. They gotta be almost on top of each other it seems. It also depends on your smoker material and thickness. I'm using a Cookshack electric model that is solid SS. Doesn't...

    I see that now. Missed that is is wifi and Bluetooth. The Inkbird model also graphs your cook per probe that you can save. I don't use that feature, but I do use the temp alarms so I don't over cook things. I had their wired probe model before the wireless one and have been very satisfied...
