    Skinny water day.

    Just a word of caution, never let your dog ride in the bow when under power. They can easily get thrown out resulting in death or serious injury. It’s more dangerous in a prop boat but even a jet can cause death when the boat runs over him. Had one of my duck hunting partners lose his lab when...

    Cross country trailering advice/tips

    Sounds like you have well thought out the trip, you are prepared. Couple comments - on that long of a trip probably a good idea to have a second spare. I would also have a replacement set of wheel bearings and seals and of course grease and tools to replace them. Something most people dont...

    alaska cruise

    The 360 dining is only on certain ships, not all. The last time we did it was on an Alaska cruise but not all princess ships that cruise to Alaska offer it. A full drink package if you don’t drink alcohol is not worth it. Look into a zero alcohol drink package which includes speciality...

    alaska cruise

    Absolutely! You want them both for land tours and viewing from the ship. We bring a pair for each of us. In fact every cruise we go on we bring binoculars.

    alaska cruise

    Also the the train ride to Denali is great as is the White Pass scenic railway ride out of Skagway. I went for a tour of a sled dog facility where they raise and train sled dogs and the head guy is a participant in the Iditarod dog races. It was quite interesting. (I love dogs) Also went on...

    alaska cruise

    Both the ship and the tours are great. One of the reasons we always get a room with a balcony is the scenery we see. Plus it’s nice to sit out on the balcony and read, sleep, or just watch the world go by. We’ve seen spectacular sights. Once out from our balcony was a pod of killer whales...

    alaska cruise

    I 100% agree you need travel insurance that includes cancellation insurance and medical. But let’s remember we’re talking about an Alaska cruise. If you require treatment ashore you are going to a US facility either in Alaska or possibly Seattle Wa. You are obviously responsible for treatment...

    alaska cruise

    My wife and I cruise a lot, at least 2 or more times a year. Cruised to Alaska 4 times. It’s our favorite but after 4 times we’re concentrating on other destinations now. As far as sight seeing it depends on what ports you are visiting. I haven’t been on a tour yet I didn’t like a lot. Rather...

    Do I need a trailer?

    It’s awkward to pick up and handle and it’s heavy. 100 to 120lbs may not seem like that much but it is when you’re dealing with an awkward object like a boat. Also take into your age, size and physical fitness. When I was 30 id toss it into my truck no sweat. Now a days my back would protest...

    Real ID

    Getting real ID just isn’t a big deal. When you renew your DL just get the real id dl. Then you are set, no problems, no hassles. I fly frequently, if I didn’t have real id then Id have to carry my passport. I do not want to carry my passport unless I absolutely have to, don’t want to increase...

    Best way to secure pistol in truck?

    I agree with you. Everyone just needs to be prepared for what ever happens during a shooting event and after how ever they think best. I’m always worried or concerned but at the same time I’m prepared. Practice and train, practice and train…….. Maybe a better word instead of worried is aware...

    Best way to secure pistol in truck?

    If your worried about getting sued, need to leave the gun at home Sorry, have to strongly disagree. If you carry concealed and have to use your weapon even if completely justifiable and completely within the law, you likely will be sued civilly by spouse or family of the victim. They may lose...

    Best way to secure pistol in truck?

    A lot to comment on here. First an fyi I’ve been a gun guy since my dad gave me my first gun at 9 years old. Was an NRA certified instructor, and a hunter safety instructor. Been a hunter my whole life. I’m an old guy now. Still shoot and train at the range one to three times a month. It’s one...

    Listing to port side

    I’ve been around boats my whole life and have never seen a boat design anything like that. I can’t imagine any advantage of any kind for a design like that. I only see major disadvantages to a boat like that. What ever type of fishing you do there are lots of boat designs that would be far...

    Listing to port side

    That is interesting. I’ve never seen a boat set up like that with OB on one side and having to balance it by putting weight on the other side.First thing that comes to mind to correct this is to try adjusting the trim tab. Also even though you think the weight distribution is even it may not...

    Don't know what I got

    It hasn’t been started in 20 years? I would bet it’s not exactly going to fire right up. There are a hundred things I would check and do before turning the key. First thing I’d do is check the gas tank. Any tiny bit of fuel left in there for 20 years has turned to a gelatinous mess. You likely...

    Need Help & Advice on a Purchase....

    I personally would generally go for a newer lower hour boat. They are both older boats so you can expect some problems now and in the future. Salt water trips is better than all or mostly in salt water. If you lean toward one then spend the $$$ and have a mechanic check it out. Do not buy...

    So I know I have a sig 1911 45 caliber

    Not positive what specific model you have but those slots on each side of the frame below the barrel/front of the slide are rails. Rails are mounting platforms you can mount things like lights, lasers etc.

    Liqui Moly ceratec engine oil additive any good?

    I concur, oil additives are snake oil. It’s marketing that sells them, it isn’t because they do anything for your engine. If you follow the owners manual and change your oil and filter at recommended intervals and use recommended viscosity oils you’ll get long engine life and there will be no...
