    Redesigning my cabin bunks

    In my cabin is 2 bench seats/bunks. They are just upholstry covered foam pads that sit on plywood sheeting. I have tried different densities of foam, but still they are uncomfortable to sleep or sit on. Plus after weighing (both = 48 lbs) the plywood panels, I think there should be a way to...

    DeVillbis HVLP

    I bought the kit from Eastwood that has a small gun and a bigger one. It is a nice kit that has just about everything to clean and maintain the guns. Today I finally used it to primer some wheels. Oh Boy am I sold on it. :D I just hope it can lay the paint on them as easy it was for the primer...

    Craving a Beer Lately

    Its been over 2 years now being a good boy. Got to say seeing my friends at the dock acting goofy after a few drinks sorta makes me have a couple. The bad part is they keep going after a couple and then its not acting goofy, but silly stupid. That turns me off of having a good time with their...

    The Importance of Grandparents

    The thread about the youngster getting a small outboard and his parents making him return it to the old guy got me thinking. It was once the grandparents that taught their grandkids many things from their lives. Certain traits and skills are being long forgotten because it seems that kids of...

    1984 270 outdrive

    I just finished getting a friends tilt working properly. I checked the latching paws to make sure they would latch down. They took it to the lake today and called and said this. "When I put it into forward and idle, everything is fine, but when I throttle up the outdrive flys up out of the...

    Strange Dog Behavior

    Last night my dog Keeper was acting weird. He is somewhat affectionate, but not near as much as he was last night. He is no doubt overweight so he spends a lot of time laying around. However last night, he would go over to where my wife was sitting and sat down right by her legs. He would stay...

I then paid more...

    Ford Wheels

    What is it with Fords 15" wheels. Aluminum or steel it doesn't matter, it seems they all rust or corrode. Can't find them anywhere around here. Plenty of 16's but no 15's. I did a bit of searching to find out what size tire I would need to go to using 16" rims. It seems that the 215-70R-16 is...
