    Auto Glass Anyone?

    I have a 94 Ram 1500 with a sliding rear glass. While cleaning the old truck up I noticed the entire glass unit moved with just a little pressure applied.

    Don't Press Your Luck

    That's the slogan for North Carolina's new highway safety initiative. Also, know as Operation Leave Room For Trucks. This is a mission of the FMCSA, it has been piloted in several other states and is now in NC. A great idea in my mind, since I drive one of these everyday I would sure like...

    Rudder Position Indicator

    The biggest problem I have when we take the boat out, is having the wife put the boat on the trailer. She won't learn to back the trailer down the ramp so she is left to tend the boat, I think the biggest problem she has is keeping the motor straight while coming on the trailer. So my thought...

I had taken the original vinyl off when I got the boat it was orange, sun faded, cracked, yuck... I used an indoor...

    The Blue Water Bug

    Light cracks the dark sky as a cool tropical breeze brushes your face. The colors are pale at first and as time rolls by they become vibrant shades of reds, blues, purples, and orange. The gulls chirp and the wave?s crash against the boat as you sit with coffee in hand, and watch the sunrise...
