    What kind of wrench (name) is he using in this video?

    Agreed - it's a t-handled socket wrench. Clearly this guy has practiced his spinning technic for decades to achieve this level of spin. The drawback of the t-handle is that you don't get the ratcheting action of a traditional wrench. I have a t-handle from a car repair project long ago, but...

    Seafoam vs. Marine Pro Seafoam

    Since you didn't ask if Seafoam itself is worth the money, I'll leave that alone. If it is a product that works for you then by all means pay the extra money for the extra benefits. However, this question is like asking people if it's worth paying for the sprinkles on an ice cream cone. Some...

    Source for bearing buddies rubber plug

    I got lost. Is this a thread about a source for BB caps, or a rant about proper bearing maintenance? :rolleyes:

    Boat is put away for winter. What to do every day ?

    If you put your boat away this early, then it's time to get the snowmobile(s) ready to rock!

    Cars you should have kept.

    My 1983 Mustang - 112hp stock....oooh she was a beauty. Just kidding, it was a turd. I'm not as old as the rest of you, but my favorite vehicle of all time was a 1985 F150 with the straight-six manual transmission. It was the most comfortable bench seat. I could have driven for a week straight...

    Nobody fishing?

    You need to upgrade from AOL dial-up... :D It was a baby panfish, maybe a green sunfish? It was the end of our final fishing club event for the season and I needed to catch a few panfish to score some quick points. I went over to some docks and pitched a worm on a hook with my ultra light rod...

    Nobody fishing?

    I could squeeze that full sized man in the background with these vice grips!

    Building a fishing boat.

    Years ago I bought an old 12ft Starcraft that someone had similarly ginned up for fishing. It was HEAVY and came with a casting deck built on top of the front metal benches. I bought it in my late 30s and I still had great balance but found that the boat was EXTREMELY tippy for sitting or...

    Nobody fishing?

    I caught this beast on Saturday morning. She fought for what seemed like 45min, dragging out line repeatedly, running for structure, and extracting every ounce of my energy until I barely won the battle of exhaustion. I’m lucky to have survived this battle of wills…

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    So now you've learned what most people learn about project boats...they rarely get completed. You may still get it done but you would be one of the few. Life and other priorities get in the way. Retired folks or dedicated boat remodelers are typically the ones to claim victory over a project...

    2025 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    Well, those guys probably spit on each other while nose-to-nose on the line. We just don't see it. I bet that Chuck Bednarik, Jack Lambert, **** Butkis, and Ray Nitschke all did it. I get that the NFL is trying to crack down on sportsmanship. Throwing a guy out of the game for spitting seems...

    How to completely soften those tiny false rib bones by cooking.

    I keep a scaler next to my filet board. It's the only way that I'll eat panfish if I keep a few.

    I don't think that I've ever had to sit that long on the toilet, except maybe before a colonoscopy!

    2025 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    I do own two shares of stock. I did it because I am not a fan of public funding for sports stadiums. It's just a private grab for public tax dollars. However, in the two stock drives where I purchased stock, the Packers were using the funds to offset stadium renovation costs. I looked at it as a...

    Killer whales off Destin

    The captain on seeing orcas in the Gulf: “I’ve had friends that have. But no, I have never seen them personally. But I knew they were out there,” Ream said. It sounds like they are unusual but not that rare if his friends of seen them. A few years ago we were fishing off the Kanai peninsula...

    How to completely soften those tiny false rib bones by cooking.

    It totally depends on what we are talking about. Similar to salmon, northern pike have a Y-bone that some fishermen find difficult to filet. It's a good skill to learn and not too difficult. In a pinch you can just take the back strap and the lower section of the filet that is boneless, but that...

    Nobody fishing?

    From the spiny dorsal fin to the vertical stripes, that looks more like a perch to me than a bass. Cool either way.

    Oil selection

    Find the exact owners manual for your boat. Run the recommended type of oil. There are a lot of smart people on this forum. However, you are taking a risk when you trust anything that you read from anonymous people on the internet. There is no proof that anyone tested any oil, or that they...

    2025 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    Another guy that grew up in WI here. Packers fans have had it real good for a long time. We went from the highest of highs in the 60s, to the lowest of lows in the 70s and 80s, and back to the high in the 90s and ever since. I feel honored to have watched my team generally win most of its games...

    2025 NFL/CFB News and Nonsense

    For sure. Lamar Hunt took a decent product and helped it explode into what is the modern NFL. There were many things that happened along the way. The 1958 championship ("the greatest game ever played") certainly played a role along with a number of smart businessmen like Hunt. Like many things...
