    Six days ago, I injured my left shoulder while working on the boat. I treated it with rest, ice and Tylenol for a few days and it was feeling pretty good. Then last night, I completely wrecked it while putting a gallon container onto the top shelf of the fridge. I iced it twice last night and...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    Ah, but medicine, engineering and even teaching (think AI) are constantly evolving and changing, so those folks need refresher courses and perhaps testing or certifications. But owning and operating a firearm isn't like that, although laws may change, so owners need to be aware of such...

    Nobody fishing?

    I did a very similar thing years ago when I was living in Maryland. I'd launched my Bass Tracker and after I parked my truck, I realized that I'd left the drain plug out! D'oh! 🤪 I retrieved the boat, got it on the trailer and put the plug into place. Then, I relaunched and beached the boat...

    Nobody fishing?

    I injured my left shoulder 6 days ago. Treated it with ice and Tylenol for 3 days and it was feeling better. Then last night, I completely wrecked it! I was lifting a gallon container to the top shelf in the fridge and Kablamo! I was supposed to go fishing tomorrow morning (the last late...

    Yah, my wife won't be in the boat until it's fully checked out and ready to fish. She actually prefers it that way. :cool:

    At this point, the boat is now "technically" able to be splashed. :cool: The engine runs and the new hydraulic steering system is installed and working correctly. And the TM is there as backup. I'd like to get the TM batteries mounted into plastic boxes and circuit breakers installed before...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    Thank you. I've been around guns my entire life. Started shooting at 3 years old and at 71 now, still have a few. At one point, guns were my main hobby and I owned well over a hundred at the same time about 20 years ago. Sold the bulk of those to generate cash to buy my home here. Being...

    I spent 2 hours vacuuming the boat this morning. That really sucked! 😝 Now, I need to find my nuts. 😁 I think I have some 5/16 stainless battery nuts around here somewhere. :sneaky:

    I found some pix online of a red version of my boat. Mine's definitely been hacked. And here's another blue one, but smaller than my boat. That rear deck held 2 more seats.

    Because some prior owner pulled the front casting deck out. Most likely from being soft/rotted.

    Yesterday I bought more butt connectors and today I made more progress. Got the trolling motor wired up in the front of the boat and did a little cleaning. Tomorrow I'll get started on wiring the TM to the batteries.

    I work slower than molasses on a January morning in Vermont. :sneaky: But, on 18Oct24, I went to the Ortho doc and got another set of knee injections, which has helped. I also injured my heel on 15Sep24 and that's really slowed me down, but it started feeling better in the last 48 hours. I'm...

    Guys, lately I've been busy cleaning up the property after Milton went through. Nothing major; just deadfall and whatnot, but it needed to be done. The weather broke after the storm blew through and we had beautiful, cool weather. Lows in the upper 40s a couple times. Sixties for highs. We...
