    Where were you 25 years ago today.

    we were stuck for the next two days, then a special FAA notam was issued for flight crews only as passengers on the 4th day to let re-positioning planes and flight crews to get home. Then , like a week (?) service started up.....and that's when the TSA ...BS began.

    Servicing my trailer bearings

    standard practice for castle nut adjustment is to snug the castle nut up as you rotate the wheel. You are setting the bearings, not tightening the nut. Some say up to 25 lb/ft. torque on the nut .You can remove the drag by spreading the pad and pushing the caliper in a little. I've done so many...

    Where were you 25 years ago today.

    overnighting in Burlington, Vt. on a 4 day trip for Piedmont (Allegheny) airlines. Slept long that morning, didn't even turn tv on. Went down to the treadmill about 9:30. news was on. Got my attention when talking about a plane hitting the WTC. Started watching, WTF. We were scheduled for a...

    Servicing my trailer bearings

    well, I have a karavan trailer with the sure-lube system. I can't be sure that if I change a grease base that using that system only will remove enough of the residual grease. So it could still cause a problem.

    2026 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    that is what WM is requesting now after another review. LSU ...gotta say looks strong, but been a fan too long to put a lot into the first game. Not a fan of Kiffen for various reasons. But he, nor I, control college football. It's what it is, right. So, Go Tigers.

    Last weekend at the lake

    I get through Sept. on the upper Chesapeake usually. Then timing with putting boat on trailer/winterizing and colder air temps put an end to being on a pontoon.

    Electric car.

    "My buddy has a lyriq. Great car, the autonomous driving is amazing. We're taking a trip up to Baltimore tomorrow. He'll start with a full tank and we'll leave with a full tank. My ICE would require a fill up before I left and I'd have an empty tank when I got home. So 2 fill ups vs none for the...

    Electric car.

    electrics have a place for some people. Free enterprise, free choices....great! "God bless america", right? And as long as Sheetz, Buc-ees, Rutters, etc., put in their own charging stations, fine. It's when a group of "people" have substantial power and decide that "they" will decide what my...

    my fathers musings

    "The God Problem is one that persists high on my favorites list. It’s by Howard Bloom who graduated from Reed College a long time ago and has never ceased being impressed by the intellect that that achievement implies. Having read the book several times, I agree with his high self-esteem. Howard...

    Removing Spiders

    spiders are common at my marina. "SpiderAway" is a product I used once but the ingredients are vinegar and peppermint oil, so I just make my own. (peppermint oil-amazon) . It does seem to reduce them. I also use a bug spray sparingly. I have a double bimini top on a pontoon boat and they mainly...

    Pontoon defect (blemish?) on log

    never seen anything like that on any pontoon, including my '06 Lowe, or any forum. If that was a hairline crack, that toon would be full of water. Maybe looks worse than what it is. Aluminum experts should step in. Maybe a good welder could fill it in by welding or brazing.

    What kind of boat is this?

    popular back in the late 70's - 80's. My brother had one. They'll beat the heck out of you at speed even in a relatively calm lake.
