    Nobody fishing?

    Ouch! I'm going to be getting one of those in the not-too-distant future. I have another ortho appointment tomorrow morning.

    Can't access iboats.com from Android, but okay from laptop

    Thanks! I just tried forums.iboats.com and it immediately accessed the site from my WiFi. I then turned the WiFi off on my phone and it worked again. I hope this continues working! During hurricane Milton, we were without power overnight and not being able to access the forums made for a very...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    Very little work done today. I went out there this morning even though I was feeling a little woozy. 😐 So, I just soldered the power connectors from the starboard micro anchor to the battery box connector. Then tested it, got the blinking green power light and that was enough. I guess you...

    The weather is cooling and being more conducive to working outside. So, I continue to make progress. :cool: Yesterday I finished rigging the second battery box. And this morning I got the starboard side Power Pole Micro Anchor hard mounted to the hull. During the process of hard...

    I was one who considered carefully. We're 10 miles from the Gulf and 100 feet above sea level. No floods for me, thanks. If I lived in a concrete home, I'd never evacuate. As far as I can tell, there are no places in the US which are completely immune from the hazards of Mother Nature...

    Yeah, there had been predictions of 15 foot high tidal surge, but that didn't happen. Surprised a lot of folks in a positive way. I heard one news report that there were 76? tornado warnings issued during the storm. Scary.

    Progress! :D Been awhile. It takes me forever to get anything done. :sneaky: Parts had to be ordered and I waited for delivery. Then hurricane Helene came along, then more parts ordered and more waiting for delivery, then hurricane Milton came along. Plus the regular life stuff. Not to...

    There is traffic on I-75. Big rigs mostly. A good sign though.

    I'm awake now. Power went off at 1210 here. Pretty stuffy in this motel room! There's a small storage shed outside and the door or something came loose and was banging all night long. Stopped about 1/2 hour ago. I opened the door a little and the winds have reduced to a breeze. Much cooler...

    Storm is making a hard right turn now. Will make landfall south of Sarasota.

    Speaking of palm trees. My stepson, aka "the boy," is staying at his GF house. A palm tree blew over and hit the house. No damage though.

    Can't access iboats.com from Android, but okay from laptop

    The issue seems to be sporadic. It's worked a couple times, but then fails again. Each time with Gateway 504 timeout error.

    My wife and I are settled into our motel. My wife has already set up house. :sneaky: The boy decided to ride it out at his girlfriends house. He'd been concerned about a pine tree in the backyard, but discovered a chainsaw in the garage and cut it down himself. I taught him that stuff.:cool:
