    Title and registration requirements?

    I'm curious to see what are the requirement for your state. Here are some of the variations. In Indiana, all boats need title and registration, all trailers need registration and only trailers weighing over 3000lbs need title. Illinois and Michigan have similar requirements. Missouri...

    Labor Day fatty

    Apparently, there's plenty of whatever this gal has been dining on. She whacked a pop-r in broad daylight. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a400/idbefishing/IMG00238.jpg

    How do I fix this?

    Fiberglass meet tree top, tree top won. It's hard to tell in the pic, the fiberglass had chipped off and exposed the wood (the bright portion) but not all the way to bare wood. There's a thin clear layer covering the wood. It's about the size of a nickel. The scratches are result of the...

    5 Hour Energy

    Anybody tried this stuff? :eek: I had 4 hours of sleep, drove 1 1/2 hrs to the lake, spent 10 hrs on the water, drove home and felt great. I drank half of the bottle in the morning and finished the rest when I got off the water. If you can snort this stuff it'd be illegal.

    Just when you thought old trailer bunks are useless

    My old washer is not doing it job at all anymore so I went out and got a new one yesterday. I solicited help but all attempts failed. I really needed to do the laundry so I said screw it. I'm gonna git that sucker myself. Went to the store today and the warehouse guys loaded it on my truck...

    The power of advertising

    So I was browsing through the Bass Pro Shop marine catalog while sitting on my porcelain throne. I thought hmmmm..........I could trade in my current boat for a Nitro Z8 for $28k or keep the current one and get a Tahoe Q5 for $22k. I better stop thinking before I do something stupid. :D

    Is filling the bearing hub alone enough?

    Or do you really need to clean out the hub, pack the bearings and refill the hub through the grease fitting? Wanna hear something shocking? I have not pack my bearings in 6 years and I use the boat a lot. All I have done is pump new synthetic grease into the hub 2-3 times/yr. Took the...

    Plugging in

    Does anybody else feel like we're living in The Matrix? As I went thru 2 different log-ins first thing this morning. I realized that I do this everyday in addition to several other log ins throughout the day. It's scary to think about how much we depend on the machines. :eek:

    How's your portfolio?

    Just looked at my 403b and it's rather depressing. For the last quarter of FY09, my rate of return is a negative 11%, only bonds make a tiny gain and all stocks took a dump. Maybe it's time for my employer to picks a different investment company. :(

    Bussman AGU-40

    Does anyone know if any of the automotive store or Radio Shack carries these fuses? It seems that I have to order it online. I prefer not to have to drive from one store to another to find it and I need it fast.

    What would MacGuyver do?

    "He made a tourniquet from the shirt he was wearing. At first, he used a hacksaw blade, and then a larger blade, The Associated Press said. He was almost done but couldn't make it through a bundle of nerves, and he remained trapped." Did anybody see this...

    My dilema

    Well, more like a small problem. I'm moving and U-Verse doesn't offer service at my new address. I know, big freaking bummer. I have A LOT of valueable recorded stuff on the DVR, all fishing related. Have anybody found or heard of an efficient way to save the recordings from the DVR hard...

    Back from St. Clair

    I'm now recovering from the 4 days slugfest on the gin clear soup bowl called Lake St. Clair. For some reason, the weather was awesome while much of the country wasn't so nice. I'm so used to have to work hard to have a successful day on the water in Indiana. This was a catching trip and not...

    Jet boat owners?

    So what's the different between driving a jet outboard vs. a regular outboard? I reckon no trimming would be necessary or does it even have trim? What about handling? Things I need to know about from the operational standpoint beside the obvious? This would be a Merc 90/65 Jet mounted on a...

    I've never thought......

    In a million years that I would be sunburned in the first week of April in Indiana. Went fishing yesterday, too much sun, too much wind, too sudden. I'm cooked and felt like crap on the way home and all day today. It blows when you feel like you're gonna puke at anytime. :(

    Final Four

    How fitting for Butler to be in the Final Four? They're going to have an overwhelming home court advantage. Hoosier Hysteria is in full swing.
