    Some good stuff happening

    Dinner break! My buddy's wife and little boy came over, so naturally we had to add dessert too! 😋 Initial setup and testing the heating... worked great! Here we started testing the cooling and it was rapidly dropping the inside temperature. Just 5 minutes later it had dropped...

    Some good stuff happening

    My buddy showed up this afternoon and got right to work. And the AC is now fully installed and functional! :cool: The boy and I had cut up a couple of the foam insulation sticks into little donut shapes (by the door) and used them to plug the holes in the sheet metal end sections where...

    Yep, it's a multi-type thermostat. Dunno about the painting/grinding thing but I do know this... The AC is done! 😁

    Some good stuff happening

    We went to HD this afternoon and picked up a generic air filter, some foam pipe insulation and a couple of 3/4" PVC elbows as well as a 24" section of 3/4" PVC pipe. Got everything lined up, ready to go to work. Foam insulation installed. Foam insulation installed on the outside section...

    This afternoon we did a little garage work. I had to decide what to do with my old RC airplane stuff and ended up choosing to keep it for awhile longer. Who knows, I might actually finish that AU-23 Peacemaker that's hanging from the ceiling someday! :sneaky: So we removed everything from...

    does this look like it had power tilt and trim?

    Yes, that looks like the same setup that I have on my 1985 Merc 50HP outboard with power trim & tilt.

    Some good stuff happening

    Well, it was an interesting day today for sure. My wife found a big jewelry box that she wanted from Craigslist. We went down to pick it up and on the way home we spotted a roadside flea market kind of thing. So we stopped to check it out. I noticed a bunch of loudspeakers and sent the boy...

    Some good stuff happening

    When the boy was done with school yesterday afternoon, we went out to do cleanup and rearrange the garage since the basic wiring installation had been completed the day before. We spent just over two hours cleaning and arranging, then went into the house to rest and have dinner. I have these...

    The boy and I were in the garage this afternoon, working on the Kingfisher, when my neighbor buddy showed up unannounced! Ho yeah! (y) He wanted to get to work on the AC project and dug right in... with the help of the boy while I uh, supervised. Yeah, that's the ticket! 😁 And much...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Long boating season? It's only 366 days this year! 🤣 I'm just glad that we got it all sorted out and that the KF is back its normal, happy self! Actually, I can relate to having to store a boat in a frozen land. Went through that myself when I lived up north. I feel ya. 😉 Shorts &...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Hi guys. We had a great time using the KF actually on the water last weekend! The boat/motor is completely back to normal. 😁 But there are still a few more minor improvements we'll be making. This afternoon we installed some pads to prevent the Bimini top from scratching the paint when we...

    Specific paint for outboard motor?

    It's the regular single part paint. True, it isn't fuel proof and I can verify that it isn't bug proof either! While towing with the motor up, it got splattered by a big dragonfly and that definitely left a mark. Then again, it's very easy to touch up. And at some point, I'll buy a travel...

    Cutting cable TV

    THANK YOU! I just signed up for Locast and it immediately popped up 46 local channels for us. FORTY-SIX! :eek: It looks like Locast has a bunch of the channels that I'm paying for on Sling (and previously paid for on CATV) but I don't watch a lot of them anyway. It's really nice getting the...
