    Jeez! What happened to global warming

    Live in NW Indiana, about 1 hr SE of Chicago. Start burning around Thanksgiving. Usually burn 24/7 until the temperature get back to the mid 30’s F., around late March, then burn at night. Have a Lopi insert. I would estimate I go through 1-1/2 to 2 cords. I stack my wood in 13’ rows, 7’ tall...

    modified leaning post? Bolster?

    Totally agree. Plausible deniability! “adapt/modify something like this”

    projects other than boats

    I rebuild/semi restore old power tools then sell them as one of my too many hobbies, primarily 1960 vintage Craftsmen drill presses but other things now and then. Here are some before and after pics of a Craftsman wet grinder on what I believe is a Delta stand. Added oil cups and brass and...

    2025 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    Totally agree. Not sure MNF has the draw it had say in the 1980’s, but I always felt every team should have an appearance on MNF to promote the league and every team. Being a Packer fan, they sucked then and were never on MNF, but they did have some great players that never got any limelight.

    Pump themed anchor

    Bought a 1998 Slyvan 17” Blue Fish this fall from the original owners, as I was going to retire and the Mrs. loves to fish. But my boss conned me into another year. (Work from home so easy money.) The boat has a MinnKota Deckmate on the bow but no anchor. The only place you’ll find that anchor...

    I find it interesting how when hooked up, the boat dwarfs the size of the tow vehicle. The Subaru towed the Sylvan with no issues. Kept off the interstate most of the was and kept it below 65 most of the time. Of course braking was a little more noticeable but nothing to worry about.

    Just joined. Sold the only boat I owned about 20 years ago, a 12 aluminum Sea Nymph. As I will retire within a year, my better half, who is more of a fisherman than me, suggested we get a boat. Found a decent 1989 17’ Sylvan Blue Fish from the original owner, with manuals. Has a 75 HP Mercury...
