    Best Jet Drive

    I remember my buddy’s dad had a jet boat in the 80’s that had a 454 in it that had the Berkeley jet drive. I remember him having to work on it pretty often. If I recall it was something with the steering that was always giving him trouble. It was a lot of fun. It wasn’t crazy fast but it...

    1978 Johnson 140hp running rough. Need advice

    My sister was supposed to take me for my drivers test and never showed up so my girlfriend took me in her car. I had hadn’t driven a stick yet but I somehow managed to pull it off. I still have not been able to get my daughter to learn. It’s a never ending battle. I taught my son and he only...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    I have never been over that way but I worked with a girl from Oregon and she had some great stories and pics and it looks like a beautiful place. Maybe someday I’ll make it over that way.

    Radar tower removal.

    I worked for an electrician for awhile and would always leave 1 if not 2 extra strings in the conduit. He always gave me crap for wasting time on it. Several years later he reached out and thanked me for saving him time on the jobs he had gone back to to add things.

    Trailer Tongue Too Long?

    I was humbled by a short trailer not long ago. I definitely need some practice. I can stick the landing with the boat just about anywhere but my buddy’s little lawn trailer just about gave me a stroke.

    They were good but I’m pretty sure I would have enjoyed the bottle more on its own. I hide stuff like that now in the shop fridge.

    I was saving the last bottle of porter that a buddy gave me from a micro brewery in main for a special day. That day came and when I went to get it was gone. I asked my wife where it went and she said she used it to braise the ribs we had last week. Then tells me she only used about a 1/4 of the...

    Arghh! Freakin raccoon.

    That’s a beautiful dog. I have only know 2 people to have Dobermans and they were great dogs. One of them bit me once but it was my own fault. I just walked in as we were good friends and that’s what we did. But when I did the dog was laying by the door and I scared her so she took action...

    Arghh! Freakin raccoon.

    I have trapped and relocated many critters over the years. I hear with raccoons you need to take them at least 10 miles away or they will find their way back. Not sure if that’s true though.

    Arghh! Freakin raccoon.

    Those dam raccoons are as tough as they come and can be really nasty. I lived in a house on stilts than was 13’ above ground and got into with one one night I kicked that dam thing 5 or 6 times with the last one kicking it over and off then deck. It hit the ground and just ran off like nothing...
