    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    With Christmas behind us, my daughter and her husband left and headed back to Denver. And I got 15 of the 37 items on my outdoor work done! So today, with the help of my assistant, I had a chance to get that box open for a look. 😸 Lots of paperwork included. :sneaky: I used my test...

    Got this a few days ago, but have been just too busy to even open the box. :sneaky:

    Jeez! What happened to global warming

    The largest temperature change I've ever gone through was when I left Australia and flew back to Spokane, WA. It was 115* in Australia when I got on the plane and when I got off the plane in Spokane it was -10 and snowing sideways. A 125 degree temperature drop. Brrr! 🥶 And I arrived one...

    Been very pleasant here in FL, so I've been really busy doing outside yard work plus inside the house stuff prepping for my daughter's Xmas visit.

    There ya go assuming that I actually catch fish! :ROFLMAO:🤪 Here's the link to the actual unit I ordered. I got another $100 off for military discount plus a coupon I had. 😁 https://www.basspro.com/p/lowrance-eagle-eye-9-fish-finder-with-live-sonar-and-c-map-us-inland-charts

    Well, what I was looking for suddenly appeared on my FB feed. Lowrance Eagle Eye 9. Went to BPS online and checked it out. Just what I wanted. Has the usual CHIRP stuff, but also includes Forward Facing Sonar and charts. It's an entry level unit, which fits my needs exactly. Ordered it a...

    I was able to adjust the sensitivity of my Active Cruise Control radar. I changed it to "Late" which really made a difference. For example, this morning I was driving along and a big pickup pulling a work trailer pulled out in front of me, about 125 feet ahead on the right. He was moving...

    Trail camera issues fixed, now pics from them ...

    Back in 1972 I was living in Ohio and went down to visit my dad in West Palm Beach. Stayed a couple months. While there, he told me that he sold his beautiful Browning Auto-5 12 gauge shotgun. It had 3 different sized barrels and the velvet lined presentation case. He sold it for dirt...

    Well DUH! 🤪 I was reading the manual some more last night and found that I can dig deeper into the menus and adjust the sensitivity of the ACC. The actual menu doesn't match the manual, but I get the gist. I have a lot of running around to do today, so will give it a workout. I'll also see...

    I definitely need to get my radar braking checked out. I was on my way to the gym this morning and a car 100' ahead of me made a right turn onto an adjoining road. My truck hit the brakes after the car had turned and was well clear of the regular lane. Annoying. :rolleyes:

    During the incident that I mentioned back in Post #557, my truck hit the brakes so hard that the ABS was activated. The car behind me slammed on their brakes and ended up about a foot behind me. My prior Trucklet was a 2022 Santa Cruz. It didn't have Active Cruise Control but it did have that...

    I have the paper manual, plus a .pdf file of it as well. ACC, if properly designed and installed, can work quite well. Maybe the dealer will figure it out.

    Thanks. I entered my info and it said Vehicle not found! :LOL: However, I have RTFM and watched a bunch of videos with no success. To clarify for everyone, I'm talking about being able to switch from Active Cruise Control (the smart version) to standard cruise by pushing a button. So far...
