    Do that with my trucklet and it'll slam on the brakes, sound the alarm and tell you to put the truck in Park.

    Actually, what I should do is insulate the garage and put in a real AC system. That would make a huge difference. Hard to justify the expense though. 🤑

    Decades ago, my original plan was to retire on Lake Norman, NC. Never happened. I've lived in FL three times, this time for 27 years so far. Owned my piece of dirt for 19 years and have roots that go down to the center of the earth. Can't see me moving. :sneaky: My Filipina wife wants to...

    I've been working sporadically on the boat lately. Heat and life stuff getting in the way. I did get the console inserts installed using DAP Weldwood Contact Cement. Worked great! Ran into some wiring issues and pretty much had to relearn soldering. 😒 Bought some new equipment and did...

    Question about prop nut tabs

    Back in May, after my splash, my buddy noticed that the prop nut on my 150HP Merc XR6 only had 3 of the prop nut tabs pushed down. The other 3 were up. The engine is a '92 and the prior owner had it for 11 years, so I'm guessing all is okay as is. I'd post pix, but that function isn't working...

    New phone

    My wife made a 150 mile round-trip this week through country roads and left her phone (Samsung s24 Ultra) on the dash, plugged in and navigating. After awhile, it overheated and went black. Once it cooled off, it restarted okay. Had to educate her about phones on dashes. :sneaky: In the...

    New phone

    When i bought my Galaxy S24 Ultra last year, all of my ringtone automatically transferred over. My wife got the same phone, but she was coming from a different provider, so hers defaulted to basic. I have the 1980s landline ringtone for callers not on my contact list. It's obnoxious and...

    Nobody fishing?

    2 days ago I took my neighbor to our fishing hole just to show him around. I cast for about 20 minutes. It was ridiculously hot. But, I hadn't been fishing for three months, so I was glad to go. And now my right arm, shoulder and wrist are pretty painful. Old guy. 😏

    simpli safe

    Whatever you install, make sure that it has virtually instant access to what the cameras are seeing or what the alarms are sounding about. It's important. I bought some cheap security cameras and they work fine, but they're slow to link to the Wi-Fi when alarming. Day before yesterday, a...

    Got the console paint job finished. Sprayed the last coat of blue on the console this morning. Worked nicely. And I bought some aluminum metallic for the inserts and they look great after being painted. The picture doesn't do them justice. The color really matches well with the gauges. I'm...
