    Kinder, Gentler iboats?

    After all the locked threads recently, I kind of thought there was a moratorium on politics in general. At least until things cooled down a bit. Was I wrong? A tongue and cheek thread was locked last week that showed photos of the 2 Goofies. I just noticed a crack was taken at a high profile...

    Electoral Votes

    I was listening to the radio this morning and they had a Gov Professor from Texas A and M (I think) talking about electoral votes. He said there was no good reason for keeping the electoral college except that change would be difficult. I guess I need a gov lesson. I do not understand the need...

    Run for the Border

    If the government kept our borders closed, employers would not have to fear hiring illegals. It appears our governmet has placed the burden on, for the most part, honest business men and women to stem the flow by not providing employment for them. When they do hire an illegal by accident or...

    This is what I have been saying all along. We don't really know what they want. We only know what we want.<br /><br /> http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060220/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_060220165762

    drinking and hunting...hmmm

    Just heard the VP admit to having a "beer" hours before the accident. Hmmmm, makes me wonder why it took so long for him to become available to interviews after the shooting.

    More comments from American Soldiers

    DJ wondered why the other "comments" thread received little action from those opposed to the war. The answer is simple, for me anyway. There is nothing to comment on. WHat do you think, I am suddenly on the wagon and want to send more young people over there? This particular soldier feels that...

    Who is the luckiest person in the world?

    Reading the "Yates" thread led me to this.<br /><br />I never won a lottery for any material type possession. In fact, I have never won any drawing at all, ever. I don't have a huge bank account to rely upon. I am not getting monitarily rich performing my job. I don't belong to the local country...

    Spinoff, "Quality of Music"

    I am with many of you that have stated there is quality out there, maybe not on the radio, you just have to find it.<br /><br />I tried not to pose my original question in a way that would mean "favorite." I guess I screwed that up by then listing some of my favs, even though I thought they were...

    Quality of music

    My son and I were on our way home from a basketball game last night (Go Bucks 9-0)and we began discussing music and the quality of it. He is 17 and even though we grew up during different musical era's, we listen to similar music. Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Dylan, Skynyrd, to name a few. I also...

    More political correctness

    Are we the only country concerned with political correctness. I mean, do other countries think about it before they act or speak? Are they concerned they may offend the US or someone else?

    Double standards, Gov. of Ohio, Bob Taft

    Gov. of Ohio Bob Taft, prior to his getting caught, sent letters to the school districts in Ohio with a warning. Taft stated if any administrator ever took any freebies such as golf outings paid for by class ring companies or anybody else, he would have their license.<br /><br />Here we are...

    They are not "light" bulbs, they are "dark" suckers

    For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light, but recent information has proven otherwise. Electric bulbs don't emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark Suckers. The Dark Sucker Theory and the existence of dark suckers prove that dark has mass and is heavier...

    Shark Bait

    First of all, I know little about sharks, except they scare the bejeebers out of me. Here in Ohio, there is no habitat that would support them... or so I think. Although I have been to the Ocean out of Florida (Atlantic and Gulf) too many times to count, I have never seen one in person(I never...

    Trim Tab ? I think?

    I have a 1989 Johnson 70 hp. On the lower unit there is what the manual calls a trim tab. It is adjustable to 360 degrees on the horizontal. My questions are 1. What exactly does this little device do and 2. How should I set it?<br /><br />Any help is truly appreciated,<br />Thanks,<br />John
