    Wish me some good luck...

    Tomorrow at noon I'm getting 4 wisdom teeth out. I guess that's not a big deal other than some pain... normally. I take blood thinners for an 'issue' I had in 1992 (a-fib now) and this is the first time I've been off of them. I'm a little nervous about it...

    I'm back!

    I had issues with my PC and I just got the new boat so I haven't been around/online for a bit. What's new? For anyone following my drama... I finally got smart and kicked my lyin' cheatin' ex to the curb. My new Sea Ray just rocks, I'm online dating and just got hooked up with a post high-school...

    Strange problem...

    The boat is a buddy's 2000 Baja Boss 232 / 496 HO / XR drive / SS mirage prop. It looked good and sounded good (still does) so he chose not to do a sea trial because the weather was horrible at the time he was looking at it. Bad news... the boat seems to slip the prop as it comes on plane. We've...

    Make it stop!!!

    Rain rain rain... some more rain, then some rain following the rain. My boat is all gassed up, stocked up and shined up... ready to go. I could live with some rain but now it's bloody windy too. We drove down to the waterfront and there's about 4' seas.<br />Someone make it stop!<br />I yelled...

    I need to shrink some photos

    A buddy of mine took some pictures of my new boat but they're huge. My editing program distorts them when I try to get them down a managable 640 x 480 (+/-). They're 2304 x 1728 at the moment. Can anyone help me with this?<br /><br />I don't know if it matters but they were in an RAR format when...

    Barnacle remover?

    The leg and props had barnacles all over them. They pressure washed most of them off but there's still that crusty crud where they were. Anyone found any miracle product to remove all traces of them?

    I bit the bullet!

    Bought it today.<br />Got a few months moorage included.<br />The haulout revealed a 'ton' of barnacles on the leg and props. Had to sea trial it like that... too bad. So I'll bring it home and do a good clean up on it before I start using it. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br...

    My timing is crappy!

    Figures! A beautiful 24' Sundancer has come up for sale and of course, I went out a couple weeks back and bought a 23' Baja as a 'in the mean time' boat. So the Sea Ray has an offer on it but the broker, a friend, has told me he doesn't think it'll be accepted. It only came up a couple days ago...

    What to do about a jerky neighbor?

    We live in a quiet, family oriented neighborhood. There's lots of kids, people walking, pets... a very cozy place really and everyone gets along. One fella' differs though. He's decided recently that everyone elses pets are his enemy. He has 4 cat traps in his yard baited with fancy 9-lives...

    Won't trim up

    Merc.<br />Will trim down with the toggle but will only come up with the 'trailer' switch. This makes me think it's not a fuse or breaker. Is this as straight forward as I think it is? It's been raining like crazy so I haven't had it apart yet. One power wire to the thumb toggle, one wire up...

    Northwest folks, what's with the weather?

    Another storm rolls through... power out, trees down and more sleepless nights at work. I thought all the trees had blown down already! Last night in Saanichton we had gusts of 60 mph. This is right on the heels of 3 other similar storms but this one was colder with a -15 wind chill. Previous to...
