    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Made it back to Tennessee: I don't know if the weather pattern on the way home was due to Helene, but it was certainly consistent. Saw this around Shelbyville, TN

    Hurricane Helene

    Hang in there y'all. I literally chased rainbows home from PCB.

    We need to make a day like Ground Hog Day for that guy. Can you imagine what his life insurance premiums are like? I hope the thing just fizzles. But it doesn't look like it will.

    Yup. As long as I get 24 hours head start on her, we'll be good. We caught a little bit of Francine up in Tennessee, and I expect we'll see a little of Helene too. But I only like lookin' at hurricanes from a distance.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Took a breather to do some diving down in Florida for a day or two (gotta' get outta' here before the storm hits!). I've been playing with HDR images when I can, and I did one from the St Andrews Jetty's in Panama City Beach:

    'Speck said it better than I would have. Cool forge. I've known a couple of guys who blacksmith, love to watch 'em work. Wish I had the time to give it a go.

    1974 Silverline Tri Hull

    Welcome aboard. Nice Comoro. I used to have one - a 17'. Great boats. I'd do what CClassen suggests.

    Parking boat in driveway

    Humorously, for us we have a "required front yard that runs 50' from the curb. Stay with the math here ... from the edge of the curb, my driveway runs 60'(ish). The required front yard is 50' (you can only park cars and trucks on a paved driveway in that 50'). That leaves 10' before you get to...

    Possible purchase of 73 Chrysler cadet

    Welcome aboard. The old Chryslers were cool; kind of an odd-ball boat move for Chrysler during the "me-too" era of trailer boats. And it is fun to play with vintage glass. But, i agree the $1,500 number is more in line. Is there a link to an ad?

    2013 - 2016 V8 Mustang vs Camaro? Same prices, I love them both

    Wasn't talking money at all. I'm the cheapskate with a '92 4CYL :cool:

    2013 - 2016 V8 Mustang vs Camaro? Same prices, I love them both

    ^^^ They're offering conversions for the new Camaro that I think look pretty slick. I like the conversion better than the Camaro.

    2013 - 2016 V8 Mustang vs Camaro? Same prices, I love them both

    There's a very well kept Cobra II for sale here in town ... and it's tempting. The "Pinto-stangs" are gaining some popularity again. I've had a '76 ... and I've had a Pinto as well ... and I liked it.

    OMC 140hp with 400 stringer sterndrive lots of questions!

    ON your engine - probably starboard side toward the stern - you should find a metal tag with an ID on it. It could be something like 990245C or more like 140FTHRCIS (depends on the year). You can use that number to determine what the original setup was.

    2013 - 2016 V8 Mustang vs Camaro? Same prices, I love them both

    Old School Mustang. Cheap. Easy to mod. Fast (well ^^^ not that one :ROFLMAO:) Mustang (excluding special editions) has never really been the overall winner of too much. But, generally dollar for pound they're kinda' a good deal for a muscle car. // I kinda' pick muscle cars by year more than...

    To shallow?

    Here in Tennessee, we have pretty rocky lakes. I wouldn't do that here. But other places I've been with softer sandy bottoms, and in still water like that - I'd do that. I'll even beach a boat in the right conditions.

    OMC 140hp with 400 stringer sterndrive lots of questions!

    Welcome aboard. Transom doesn't matter as much with the Stringer. As long as it's not taking on water. '81 should be mechanical shift, so you can use any marine gear lube. You don't need anything particular in it. (Unlike the electric shift)
