    Been a little cold.

    Got lucky. Hose reel not broke. 60 pound bag of concrete poured at noon today is already hard. The last batch looks like I just poured a bag on the ground without mixing in the water.

    Been a little cold.

    I mixed a 60 pound of concrete about 2 weeks ago. It was upper 70s. I don’t know why but it never dried out. It rained 4 days after pouring and the piece cracked and broke. A few days later I cleaned it up and made new forms. While I was at it I crushed and scattered the wet chunks which now...

    It would just be a makeshift ring compressor.

    DeWalt corded drill DW106 Type-2 keyless chuck, bits slipping out?

    Cordless is handy. I have 2 with of them with 20 volt batteries I use all the time but it is the corded drill I grab when I am cutting holes in steel.

    Nobody fishing?

    When I retired I thought I would fish all the time. I even live near a large lake with several smaller options nearby. I fished most weekends when I was working.

    DeWalt corded drill DW106 Type-2 keyless chuck, bits slipping out?

    I know what you mean. I grab mine anytime I have serious drilling to do and I have a place to plug it in.

    Get a deal once in a while

    I don’t have much use for facebook myself but marketplace has been very good for getting rid of all kinds of stuff. I bought a burner phone so I wouldn’t have to give out my regular number but found out there isn’t any need as long as I use marketplace.

    DeWalt corded drill DW106 Type-2 keyless chuck, bits slipping out?

    I had to change out a keyless chuck on a brand new Dewalt for that reason several years ago. It simply would not hold a bit. Tightened it as tight as I could. Bit would feel tight but come loose almost instantly when in use. Dewalt sent me a replacement chuck for free. I opted for a keyed chuck...

    If I could get by without a full size pickup I would probably just drive the Willys CJs around full time.

    When boating, always ___________________

    Some of the I/Os I have seen have a toggle switch. The lanyard will flip the switch to off if used otherwise it causes problems because people bump the switch and accidentally strand themselves. All of the outboards I have dealt with do one of 2 things without the lanyard. They either crank...

    One fuel line to two engines

    I have never really been around kicker motors. I am guessing the one in this case is big enough to have power tilt/trim hence the desire for switches. What I have seen were tiller control and manually tilted so having a manual selector wouldn’t matter. Hanging the primer bulbs vertically is a...

    One fuel line to two engines

    DANG! Even fuel valves for aircraft are not that high. Here I thought there is nothing more expensive than aviation.

    One fuel line to two engines

    I always wondered why the I/Os in the fleet didn’t have a primer bulb. They sure come in helpful when a boat gets run out of fuel. An on/off valve on each line maybe? But that brings us back to switching.

    One fuel line to two engines

    A 3-way valve on the filter outlet would take care of it too. Maybe that is what was meant by “selector switch”.

    One fuel line to two engines

    I think a primer bulb or some other check valve on each line coming from the filter would take care of sucking air through the other engine.

    Electronic steering

    Very rare for these rental boats to be run that cold. Never as rentals. It would be a trip to the shop for maintenance (boats are kept lifted in slips). Even then, not many would go out on a day that cold around here except to fish. That really not that cold. I wonder if softer seals would...

    Electronic steering

    I do not understand this comment. I have been maintaining several Sea Star equipped rental boats that see 100-200 hours a season and have yet to replace o-rings after 5 seasons. A couple of those boats are 10+ years old. I have had to replace a few cylinder caps but not on every boat and...
