    Boat mooring in rocky areas (aluminum boat)

    I think he's talking about houseboats on Lake Powell.

    Model Airplanes

    Heh heh... yep, it's like that. When I was on a deep space probe project, it was about 45 minutes one-way light time, 90 minutes round trip, to the spacecraft. Send the command, go to lunch, come back and find out the command was rejected. Send again, wait 90 minutes again, then confirm...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yeah, I really enjoyed getting rid of my nasty glasser donor boat. Always fun! :LOL:

    New pistol for carry

    No worries. Here's a comparison picture of a few of the .22 rimfire cartridges. .22 Long, Long Rifle and Magnum. There are plenty of .22 caliber semi-auto pistols and rifles out there. Kel Tec makes the PMR-30, a thirty round semi-auto pistol in .22 magnum. Neat gun. A buddy had one and...

    New pistol for carry

    I was talking about .22 magnum, not .22LR. A different animal altogether. :)

    New pistol for carry

    Speaking of magnum, I thought it would be interesting if Taurus (or a qualified gunsmith) could modify the little TCP 738 into a .22 mag caliber. Things line up fairly well and 15+1 of .22 mag would bring more firepower than the 6+1 of .380ACP. :unsure:

    New pistol for carry

    I carry a Taurus TCP 738 in 380ACP. This is my second one. I was happy with the first one and I'm happy with this one. It weighs 10.7 ounces and is pretty much invisible. I think it weighs less than my phone in its case. It's tiny and fits in the palm of my hand. :sneaky: The thing about...

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    I used 3M Scotch 4905 VHB Tape. Double-sided sticky stuff which is used to adhere badges and whatnot to vehicles and vessels of all sorts. Strong! But it's very easy to remove if ya make a boo-boo. Just wiggle a bit of dental floss behind the badge and "saw" it down. Badge pops off, use a...

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    Yeahhh... polishing aluminum is a pain. Mostly in the hands! :LOL: I cut the Starcraft boat and trailer letters, logo and the Kingfisher bird for my 1976 Starcraft Kingfisher using aluminum sheet and a scroll saw. Then I hand filed and sanded everything. Took a lo-o-o-o-ng time! :sneaky...

    How long to wait for a materials delivery contractor to return a call?

    Unfortunately, yes and no. :sneaky: There's plenty of room to maneuver around the house, but the "soil" here is just sugar sand with a little grass on top. It's like driving on a beach. Those 70,000 pound trucks get stuck in the soft stuff. 🚛 :cautious: These pix are from when I was...

    How long to wait for a materials delivery contractor to return a call?

    Nice. (y) :cool: I texted Company #1 this morning and set up 2 more loads to be delivered on Monday. The owner was very cooperative. So, we have the weekend to get other things done on our project. Still much to do! This afternoon I bought 4 sprinklers so that I can wet down the sand...

    Thanks, we'll "check" for it! :LOL:

    Need advice about a home water well

    Yes, it's a submerged pump. I don't know if there's more than one check valve though. 🤷‍♂️

    Installing a new asphalt driveway

    More progress made yesterday. :sneaky: After 3 hours of using my little tractor, I'd only managed to get a part of one pile moved. :rolleyes: So I called for backup and my neighbor friends came over to take care of business! The younger on my tractor and the elder on his big Massey...

    Need advice about a home water well

    I'm in the middle of a driveway paving project and as a part of the process, the well bladder was moved out of the drive and over next to the house. The well head (the black rectangle) remains where it was before and is still in service. Everything works normally. We're planning on installing...
