    Guess on Merc 50 vintage?

    Anybody see anything that helps identify the approximate year model of this OB? I know the cowl may not match, but any clues would be helpful . . . Also, any chance this unit has trim and tilt? Thanks.

    Labor Day Weekend plans?

    We're heading to Lake Mead in a couple of hours. Wish me luck with the flipped up traffic, the District decided that the kids needed to start school yesterday (instead of this coming Tueday, like every year for the last 50 or so) so we have to pick them up at school and hit the highway . . ...

    Keep an eye on your kid's laundry (true story)

    A couple of days ago Mrs. QC handed me a little mini-bottle of eyewash that she found in the washing machine. The label was washed out a little. She says, "Take a look at this.", with some aggravation in her voice. "I want you to check Jeff's car for any signs of pot. Why else would he have...

    What do you get when you cross a Pony with a Frog?

    I don't know, but let's try and come up with a punch-line? First attempt: Well intended attempts to lighten up DC despite QC's attempts to be Doggie Downer Debate Dude Second: Webbed hooves (better?)

    Stainless Steel Gimbal Ring - Bravo

    Anybody ever see or use one of these? They are made locally and I was wondering what you guys think. I need one and am thinking of going this way. The original design seems to be a weak point and this is lower cost too. He also makes a swivel shaft . . . Thoughts?

    Last minute Sierra trip

    One of my good friends just bought a motor-home and asked my two youngest boys and me to go with him and his daughter to the Sierras last weekend. This is 5 hours north from LA and although I have been often in the Winter this is only my 3rd time camping up there. Never at this place before...

    We are heading out Sunday at oh-dark-thirty for Lake Mead. From there to Havasu early Tuesday. Fireworks over the lake that night, which we should be observing from the boat. It's one of those boating merit badges I still need . . . Home on Thursday. Lots of driving, lots of boating, but...

    Australasian iboats penalty box

    I am currently in Australia and have not been able to get to iboats since the 10th. Although I have found that life does indeed go on, I have missed the place :cool: <br /><br />Anyway, something Aldo said got me to thinking and I have found a workaround for those that use a VPN with a...

    Incompetence, Ford Dealers, really long rant

    Our 2003 Expedition's main AC fan switch failed and I got some help over in Non-boating tech. That was all good. Went to get the part today and I swear the following is a true and un-exaggerated account of the ratzoflipamackidingalingjackaround that I went through to get it:<br /><br />Tried...

    What will you kill?

    I always ask animal rights activists, or vegetarians that are that way because they don't like killing living things, if they own bug spray. If they answer that they do, I simply say, "well, we both have our line, I just draw mine a little higher". Where do you draw your killing line?<br /><br...
