    Another Democrat Disgrace . . .

    Well maybe not a disgrace, but a very interesting thing to ponder. I was listening to my favorite talk show host the other day, Dennis Prager. He has taken the "success in Iraq is bad for Democrats" thing a step further. If you want to debate the Iraq success is bad for Dems thing call your...

    I'm back and in awe!!! Pics

    I will be posting more about Houseboats, Lake Powell etc. in the appropriate sections, but I wanted to share the awe that all 23 of us are feeling after a week in Paradise. To understand Lake Powell you probably have to experience it, but I'll do my best with a few pics and some info. First...

    I'm Outta here! Parting thought . . .

    Lake Powell thru the 10th . . . Catch you guys on the flip side :D Parting thought/question: Something has been bugging me . . . Why have George W. Bush (a conservative), Tony Blair (liberal to our standards and now gone), John Howard (liberal to our standards) and now Gordon Brown (a...

    Audio equipment question

    I have an issue with my boat's sound system. No need to discuss the merits of music on a boat, but for the record we are in love with having a big "system". Didn't know before we got it as it was already on our current boat. 1000 watts, 2 - 10" subs, 2 - 6x9s 6 - 6" mids and 4 - mini tweeter...

    Foreclosure stuff

    My youngest brother is facing foreclosure on his house :( My Mom and I are trying to help him, but he is being evasive and not facing the reality at this point. As far as I can tell he owes around $450K which is the total of a 1st and a 2nd . . . He is somewhere around $25K behind. Value...

    International shipping risks - eBay

    I have a prop listed on eBay (Item number: 230150779292). Auction is going well, but I have a request to ship to Norway. I have answered that I would "consider" it with a $50 handling fee. No response yet as I just sent the note, but what are my real risks? If I add the fee, and get all $ up...

    Crabgrass help!

    About 6 weeks ago I paid my gardener $1K to rip out my old lawn (Fescue blend) that was infested with Crabgrass, bermuda, some clover etc. He did an OK job, and tilled most of it, but really didn't get everything turned over. Reseeded with Marathon brand Fescue which is basically the standard...

    Whose honkin' idea was this?

    Well I am now filling two Hummingbird feeders every two days . . . There are swarms in my backyard. They harass me while I take the 30 seconds to rehang the feeders. They start at the crack of dawn and go until it's completely dark. Nobody mentioned that we would become intimately involved in...

    Skinnywater, Libertarian, D-Day question . . .

    Today is the anniversary of the D-Day invasion. It got me to thinking about Libertarians and how they would've responded to WW2. How do you see that? I am guessing based on defense vs. World's policeman that you would've defended vigorously against Japan and any invasion by the Nazis, but I...

    Laptop Wireless and LAN

    New laptop, Dell D620. On my old one whenever I was on a LAN connection it would automatically disable the Wireless deal. On this new one, it is still searching for Wireless connections all of the time, which is annoying etc. I can't find anything in Properties that seems to make sense...

    Remote hardrive ID10T error

    This is really an SHT, but I am putting it here in case I can save somebody some time . . . I just swapped work notebooks (those of you paying attention will recall a certain coffee incident :rolleyes: ) I have a Western Digital Passport remote hard drive that I use for back-up and figured...

    Inboard testing question

    I may be looking at a boat with a pair of V-drives. If running on a hose, can you safely check shifting on the trailer? When I say safely I mean is the stuffing box OK run dry temporarily? I think they are supposed to seep some which is why I am worried . . .

    Check out this sweetheart

    I found this on ebay yesterday. It is a 1976 32' Campbell sun bridge crusier. They were/are built in Lake Havasu and I have only seen one of these before. There are quite a few 22 - 28 footers, and there was a Regatta last week and I drooled over a couple of them. According to this add they only...

    Coffee Syndrome

    I am in our Houston office. I don't really know these people, I am probably going to be their interim new boss, I am trying to leave a good impression. I just tripped over my laptop's charger cord, yanked my laptop half-way off the table, spilled an entire cup of coffee on my laptop keyboard...

    Flow Torq confusion

    I just bought a Bravo 1 prop I found on Craig's list. Beautiful shape (said never run), 22P Part # 48-831910, $100 . . . I am familiar with the Flow Torq II System with the plastic insert thingee and the related hardware. Now to my question, this prop appears to have a stainless equivalent to...
