    Unplug charger from power supply to save energy

    I have a Nokia E71x smart (er-than-it-needs-to-be) phone. When I unplug either the AC or DC charger from the phone, it gives me this message: Unplug charger from power supply to save energy First, I prefer that people that intend to sell me stuff keep their opinions to themselves . . ...

    Sucky boating week . . .

    This is long . . . Well I have had a good run of boating luck, and although most of my issues this week were not necessarily boating, they were all part of a trip. My oldest son had a Lake Mead houseboat trip planned and we were to meet him out on the lake. Started out with needing trailer...

    Small hub Merc Laser II?

    What's this small hub stuff? Some sort of OB only type barrel? I have one: 48-16994-24 and was thinking of running on my Bravo, but I hear it will suck. Now I wonder if it would fit at all. Boat's not here . . . ??? Has a solid style hub and cast in castle nut i.e. no Flow Torq.

    Lake Mead Water Level - Obstacles

    I saw a post in the Channel Marker thread from rjlipscomb about concern for underwater obstacles at Lake Mead. Some of you may have seen various posts of mine on this topic. In general I think people are way too worried at Mead due to significantly lower water levels in the last 5 or 6 years...

    So that same guy . . .

    . . . goes to the launch ramp after a weekend in a slip, and his trailer is gone. Poof!: This is the same guy in my other weekend thread, and believe it or not . . . he got it back in three hours . . . Holy flip? Well the story is that some Meth freak and a couple of cohorts were out on...

    Almost sunk one this weekend . . .

    Well I guess this is kind of a warning . . . Also a reminder to simply pay attention!! We were at a beach on Lake Mead with pretty steep banks. I have a friend who has a '06 236 SSi Chaparral. We have noted previously that the boat takes on some water when beached bow high. I assumed...

    Hey, like who cuts your hair?

    I hate taking the time to get my hair cut, so about two years ago I started just trimming it a little so I could procrastinate longer . . . Well it didn't take me long to figure out that I could trim it forever and never go and pay money ever again. I haven't been to anybody in over 18 months...

    Velvet Drive 71C issue

    1:1 tranny, fresh rebuild by amateur (no, not me, better than that) . . . I am running on a stand in my garage (350 PCM Engine). If I move the selector to reverse, the engine lugs and wants to die, it does turn the correct direction. I can keep her running with some throttle, but seems like...

    Some chest puffing and Questions . . .

    Well I got this PCM 350 with my ChrisCraft replica project. I have slowed a little (a lot) on the boat part, so I decided to get my juices flowing again by getting this thing running. I hooked up all of my gauges and the ignition so I am running it as if it is actually in the boat before...

    Yesterday's race - NASCAR

    If you didn't see the finish you need to . . . Crazy race, and once again NASCAR will have to respond to Talladega critics concerning danger to the fans. I think they were lucky that nobody was killed, but you could also argue that the fence did it's job. Wow!

    Stern drive installer

    My nephew has left Magic Boats and is starting his own shop. I'll say one thing about Nathan, he has big cajones to quit in a seriously down, boat market, but I digress . . . He wants a rolling stern drive jack/installer thing. I have found a few Yardarm Installers at over $1000 :eek: Yeah...

    Income Tax - Dependent question

    I still have to go get my taxes done. My 20 year old also wants to mail in his 1040EZ. Last year it was better for me to take the deduction for him instead of him filing for his refund. Is there a standard rule of thumb for where this crosses over? He is due a refund of $590 if he files on...

    What is this?

    I got this with my Chris Replica project and I am cleaning out the garage . . . A lot of the stuff I got was more hot rod than boat as the Chris and Hot Rod guys use a lot of eachother's crapola, so I was thinking non-boat. Maybe part of floor shift mechanism?
