    Woohoo! I finally got a workbench!

    Picked this up from craigslist this morning. Measures 72x27x34. Yes, the vise was included. It's a moderate duty unit but should be plenty good enough for my needs. No welding and no pounding on the table. :cool: Am thinking that I'll cover the top with some sheet steel. But first I'd add...

    ETRO for issues?

    Is there an Estimated Time for Return to Operations for the issues we've been having? I really miss being able to multi-quote when replying to posts. And didn't we used to have the ability to search individual forums as well as individual threads? Or did I mix something up somewhere? Maybe...

    Another cool old aluminum boat (big!)

    I'm keeping an eye out for an aluminum flats boat for my neighbor and ran across this beast for sale. 25 footer! Pretty cool. Not suitable for his needs but interesting nonetheless. I have no idea what the original purpose of this tri-hull aluminum I/O boat was, but if I had a need, I'd be...

    Where are the Goldfinches?

    They usually show up here about mid-October and hang around until March. Haven't seen a one this season. Wassup with that? :noidea:

    I thought it was a tinny but now I'm not sure

    Took the family late this afternoon to check out the sunset at a boat ramp we've not used before. On the way home we were cruising along when I noticed the orange glint of the sunset on an aluminum hull. We had to go another two miles to find a place to turn around so when I got back to the...

    Lunch!

    Last night a buddy dropped by and gave us some venison. My wife put some in the crock pot this morning. She turned up her nose at the gamey smell, so she only prepared enough for the boy and myself. But when it was ready to eat, she bravely tasted a sample... and immediately regretted not...

    Anybody know what this thing is?

    Found it while cleaning out my garage. Maybe some kind of tractor part?

    I need home electrical help!

    My buddy is wiring up my steel garage. Not connected to power from the meter yet. Most of the work is done. Looks great. But, when he got over to the main breaker panel, he discovered that the box is upside down! I don't like it that way. If I buy a new box two of the black wires will be too...

    Help! I broke my wall!

    I needed to replace a 1-gang GFCI outlet in the kitchen. My buddy and I got the new outlet, wired it up correctly and started to put it back into the outlet box. He was having difficulty so I helped... and pushed way too hard and crushed the drywall where the outlet box attached. :facepalm...

    Dock fishing

    Went to a nearby lake over the Labor Day weekend to check it out for boat access and to fish. First time there. Hoping to take my Kingfisher there someday. :) :rolleyes: Found the "resort" which has a nice restaurant with good food and nice folks. Spent several hours fishing from the...

    Sunset fishing

    Went to a local lake and fished from the bank for an hour or so this evening. We didn't catch any fish but it sure was nice being out there! I was keeping a close eye on the clouds, as there were thunderstorms on both sides of us. I caught this pic of the wispy clouds. The photo is NOT...

    1985 Mercury 50HP 2-Stroke 4-Cylinder

    Time for me to holler for help! Hi all, I’m installing a used Merc 50 onto my Starcraft Kingfisher. The KF thread is located here. I have some experience with car engines but not really much with outboards so this is a learning experience for me. Here are some pix of the engine in...

    A beautiful evening for a rocket launch

    SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying an INMARSAT payload and the launch was visible from the end of my driveway. Cool stuff! :cool: I got a couple cell phone camera pix but the rocket was moving so fast I couldn't keep up as it hauled up through the sky, but the exhaust...
