    My safety tip of the day is...

    At my end of Lake Erie, the water did not drop 7 feet......after it dropped 4 feet, there was no more water left to drop !! Water here has been low for the past month or more. Hoping we are not entering the low water cycle that the lake goes thru every seven or so years. Been thru these high...

    What razor and single razor blade in it are available ? CHEAP Who sells such a simple razor and holder ?

    Unfortunately, in most cases, they are the same pump. The consumer just pays up front for the free replacements down the road. The mfgr is betting on the consumer to not take the pump back each time and most won't !

    My safety tip of the day is...

    Charters return to protect their clients....no sense getting sued for injuring your clients. My boat is only a 16' so I draw the line when waves exceed two feet. Can always go another day. When I had my 22', I drew the line at 3' waves, yes it could handle more, much more, but not in comfort...

    Same here, we added another 1200 sq ft, plus a 24x24 heated garage and a 24x40 two story pole barn to our retirement home. Probably will need numerous semi trucks when time to clean this one. Been here a little over 25 years now and it is scary when I look at all the crap we have stored !

    My safety tip of the day is...

    Grew up in the Port Clinton area of Lake Erie, had a cottage where the old rt#2 ran along the lake front. We saw 12' plus waves crash over the roadway many times and witnessed a number of vehicles literally washed off the road and flipped over !! Great Lakes are to be taken seriously as...

    rodent infestation

    Was the he road there first ? Years back I belonged to a gun club that had been there for over 75 years. Tall terms and banks with nothing behind them for miles. Then along came some developers and created some neighborhoods about a mile behind our berms. Then those little communities...

    What razor and single razor blade in it are available ? CHEAP Who sells such a simple razor and holder ?

    Lots depend on density of a guys beard hair. My father had really tough beard hair. He liked Norelco electric razors. He would wear them out in 6-8 months and return them under warranty ( one year) for replacement. After replacing a few, they ask him what he was cutting ?? My beard was...

    When we moved, after 23 years in our home, I ordered the largest trash bin I could get delivered to our home. Don't remember the yardage but it was big..could park two cars inside it ! Filled that up and two more !! Never knew how much crap we had accumulated......

    What model Mirrocraft do I have?

    I have owned Mirrors boats in the past, no complaints. Often aluminium m boats go by the year they are sold on the title, where the HIN shows date of manufacture. Don't put any faith in a date on the title. Even the HIN tags are added at a later date. Did a short tour of a small boat facility...

    rodent infestation

    Back in the late 90's we bought our property to build on. There were only three other homes in the immediate area with large spans of land between. Our property was 1320' deep, so I walked out back to survey the land. There was some shooting off in the distance, sounded to be way off. Before...

    Depends on boat size, but in reality, it makes no difference.

    What razor and single razor blade in it are available ? CHEAP Who sells such a simple razor and holder ?

    Yes it will, but not convenient enough....to time consuming, and a real danger to many of the uncoordinated folks that try to use them.

    What razor and single razor blade in it are available ? CHEAP Who sells such a simple razor and holder ?

    Yes, the hot shower does make a big difference. Used the disposable ones for years after the electric shavers became so poorly made. Got a coupon in the mail for a Harry's starter kit for only 5 bucks with free shipping. Ordered one and was very impressed. Had another coupon for blades, four...

    What razor and single razor blade in it are available ? CHEAP Who sells such a simple razor and holder ?

    I use the "Harry's" brand, initial kit is 10 bucks shipped to your door, nice razor, their blade sets are cheap compared to others...less than two bucks for blade set and they last longer than major mfgr blades...had mine for years, no complaints. Cheaper directly from Harry's direct than in...

    rodent infestation

    A .22 round can easily travel a mile, no one would take a shot at that distance with even a high powered rifle. If you can't take closeup shots in safety, far better to use traps of some form. Another reason for a good air rifle, after 100 yards the pellet will be in the dirt unless your...

    rodent infestation

    Very rare to see one wounded with my rifle, dime size groups all day at 40 yards, 3/4 groups at 50 yds. Head shots only, either a clear miss or dead.

    rodent infestation

    My favorite squirel, chipmunk, rat, and any other pest that needs eliminated is my precision high powered air rifle. Easy targets out to 40-50 yards. I like the quiet part, most neighbors and other critters are not scared off from the loud noise of a firearm...

    Side Bunk Placement

    Mine has two side supports on each side. Mine might be considered overkill, but it works and works very well. My last three boats had long side guides set close to the hull and never had an issue loading.
