    Dewey, Cheatham and Howe & The Three Stooges Tree Service

    First, let me go ahead and get this in.:facepalm: There, that's better. So, a week ago last Saturday these guys were driving around the hood offering to trim trees. That's a common occurrence in my neighborhood, and I usually decline the offer. However, for some reason I accepted that one. Did I...

    Another Float Trip Coming Up

    Deuce is excited. I'll be floating the Current River in Missouri in two weeks; launching the eighteenth and landing the twentieth. I've never done the Current, so I'm really looking forward to it. I'm involved in a local paddling club and several members have expressed a desire to join me for...

    For Anyone Considering a Refi

    FWIW I just dropped my primary from 5.875 to 3.75, paid off a second, and reduced the term to fifteen years. My payment is the same. The holder of my primary mortgage was Citi. I was poking around on their website's refi section ("does it make sense for you?" kind of deal) and a loan officer...

    Why Are My Brakes Suddenly Locking Up?

    21' Trailstar single axle trailer with Titan model sixty coupler. Free backing brakes. New master and wheel cylinders last spring. Towed fine all summer, but this evening I moved it out of the back yard to jockey some trailers, and while I had it out I decided to put on the new tires I had...

    Running a CPAP Without Power Nearby

    My brother and I are going camping and fishing this winter. It's a rare opportunity because of families, scheduling, etc. and I want to be sure he has a good time. He normally sleeps with a CPAP machine, but we'll be primitive camping with no power source nearby. I have no idea what the power...

    Tapatalk. Somebody Edumacate Me

    Pretty sure I've heard some of you guys brag about it, but I want to be sure I'm looking at the right one. Do I need the one that costs $2.99? How do it work? I'm late to this party. Help a brother out.:confused:

    Taking my old man to the Buffalo River while he can still go. Should be a large time. We'll launch Thursday morning and float at a leisurely pace to the takeout, camping Thursday and Friday nights on gravel bars. Ready to go.

    Oil Pump?

    I have a 2002 90 horse Merc that's been run a lot. It runs good, but it's started smoking quite a bit. I've had it for two years and I've noticed the increase. My mechanic, whom I trust, wants me to disable the oil injection and start mixing. How likely is it that the smoke increase is merely...

    Ladyfish okay?

    She was a prolific poster when I fist came aboard, but I haven't seen her swimming around lately.

    Plasti-Dip

    Thought I'd let you guys know about my experience with this stuff. I have an old Hypalon bucket boat that's seen better days. It works great for my purposes, but the floor has always leaked quite a bit. Just an inconvenience, but it can really be a hassle, especially on multi-day trips, so I...

    I do not recommend Luminox

    The following is a factual firsthand account. Does anyone else have a Luminox watch? Regrettably I do, and it's an unqualified POS, as is the company's attitude apparently. I bought one in February 2010. By April 2011 parts were failing and it wasn't keeping accurate time, so I sent it in for...

    Deuce has had it

    with coolers that can't survive his adventures. I bought a 120 quart Igloo about this time last year to take on weekend rafting trips (class I-II) and to use on the barge when another family joins us. I acknowledge I'm kinda hard on stuff, but I've already broken off both latches. That was the...

    Battery Issue? in the Admiral's Car

    2000 ES 300. Two year old Interstate battery. Two weeks ago I noticed it was really dragging when starting. I took a peek at the battery and saw some corrosion. I didn't have time to clean the posts at that moment so I sprayed them with a little of the same stuff I use on the boat batteries (not...

    Might Want to Check the Date Before You Respond

    There are several two plus year old threads that have been resurrected by a new member and have received responses from some not so new members. No skin off my nose of course, just thought I'd mention it. Apparently it creates extra work for someone, because it's a contentious issue in some of...

    Good Stuff

    I've been having corrosion issues on my party barge. The last two times out I've had to disconnect everything from the battery and scrape the posts and connectors to get enough contact to start the motor. Over the weekend I replaced the corroded connectors and sprayed the posts with this stuff...

    Time Share

    Anyone have or had one? I often see them offered on CL cheap or even free. What's the deal? Do people just no longer want to pay the maintenance fees? I've thought for several years about picking one up, but I'm not entirely clear on how it works. Can anyone enlighten me?

    Need Cross Bars For My Expy Roof Rack

    2005 model. Turns out they're not quite as easy to find as I thought they'd be unless I want to pay over three hundred bucks for a set of blue oval brand. I'm finding many "will probably fit" universal type options, which will be fine, but I know some other iboaters drive Expeditions so I was...
