    Regular cruise with my current vehicle isn't available. I wish it was. :cautious:

    Yeah, they have radar detection for obstacles. Mine is too sensitive and has inappropriately hit the brakes a couple of times. Like when a vehicle pulled out into an adjoining lane last week. I was completely clear, but it hit the brakes anyway. I'm able to turn that feature off, but it...

    I've had adaptive cruise control with my new 2026 Trucklet for a couple months now. I don't like it. I'd had it before on a 2013 Genesis and that one was fine. My prior 2022 Trucklet had regular cruise only, which I liked a lot. And I can't "turn it down" to a regular cruise on this vehicle...

    I'm watching Fox News Sunday and they just gave a report about how soldiers in the field who do not have a maintenance background can download 1000 hours of maintenance videos to smart glasses. Using generative AI, it allows them to fix vehicles in the field. I guess it'll eventually be...

    Pretty much the same for me. I have a Garmin Striker 4+ mounted at the helm on my boat as my only unit. I'd like to have a bigger screen unit there and move the small one to the trolling motor. But that would leave me with the low feature unit up front. I was thinking maybe I need two big...

    Anybody doing any boating or fishing related shopping? I almost pulled the trigger on a new fish finder. Almost. :sneaky:

    Still no boat work done. 🤪 But man, I've been busy around the ol' homestead! :sneaky: After receiving all the boat stuff I ordered last month, I finally finished the gauge schematic but haven't connected the full circuit yet. It's still waiting. But, I did test the siren and that puppy is...

    Transom bolt pattern for older (1983) 50HP 4 cyl Mercury with power tilt and trim

    I had a 1985 Merc 50 4 cyl on my Kingfisher. I just held it in place over the transom with a shop crane (from HF) and started measuring to get center. Once I was absolutely sure I had it centered. I drilled the holes by using the mounting points as the drill guide. Easy peasy. You might be...

    And all the experience, etc. of Eric O and Ivan will be programmed into the AI. That's the point. It'll take time, but in 5 years the world is going to be remarkably changed. Hopefully, for the better and not like with Skynet. 🤞😬

    Yep. It's definitely in the early stages of development. I heard a report on a news show this morning that we could see 99% unemployment within 5 years due to AI. Sounds outlandish to me, but who knows how bad it will actually get. I'm old and retired, so no effect. My wife's an early...

    Anybody heard of AI (Artificial Intelligence)? Seriously. And even more, the currently in development AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) . Imagine an AI setup which has been programmed with all the knowledge, experience, training, insight, and even instinct of 10,000 expert mechanics...

    Nobody fishing?

    My wife and I went over to our favorite lunker hole last evening. Unfortunately, the entire pond was covered in scum. We fished anyway. :sneaky: My wife caught a number of bluegill, which she used for bait. She did get a couple of big bites, but couldn't get them in. I only got one bite...

    Problem with my buddy's 2008 Honda BF-A 90HP outboard.

    Yeah, he has the lower unit off already. He's fairly sure that the next step is to remove the oil reservoir (4-stroke) and associated stuff. Could be tricky. He's a very experienced mechanic, which is why he doesn't want to go in there ham-fisted and mess something up. :LOL: He also has a...
