    Where were you 25 years ago today.

    Two of us were doing a repair on the outside of one of our buildings. A coworker came flying across the field in his utility truck shouting we’re are under attack. We ran inside and turned on a TV just when the second plane hit. Could not fathom what we were seeing. A friend of my wife lost her...

    Electric car.

    Took our caddy in for a leaking seal under warranty. They gave me a brand new fully loaded Lyriq for a loaner,8 miles on the clock. I wasn’t happy about it being electric only because I know nothing about them. Much to my surprise I’m pretty darn impressed. Gobs of power, handles great...

    I placed an order from a company in Kentucky, I live in Pennsylvania. The last place it was seen was a post office in North Carolina. 😂

    Cleaning mold and mildew from vinyl seats

    After yesterday’s debacle as I was cleaning I could not ignore the mold and mildew on my seats any longer. Wasn’t horrible but enough to irritate me. Looked on line for products and methods and most I looked at showed it did a mediocre job at best with lots of elbow grease. So I did my own...

    Bald Face Hornets

    This is in a rhododendron right next to my drive about 6 feet off the ground. Bigger than a basketball. As much as I walk past that, today was the first I noticed it. Any suggestions on DYI removal?

    Inspiration.

    Hit the lake early 5:30 AM. One boat there before me launching. Was an older guy. Obviously moving slow but launched no problem. Two hours into my outing I was moving to another spot and hit something hard at 22 MPH in 20 feet of water. Decided to take out and take a look see. After I loaded up...

    Bourbon, surprised!

    I like a nice old fashioned occasionally when we go out for a nice dinner. I thought I might like to make my own at home once in a while. Besides a bottle of premixed for Christmas guest last year I have not bought a bottle of bourbon for over 20 years. Went to the liquor store today. I was...

    Get a deal once in a while

    Picked up this like new helix 7 mega DI GPS Gen3 with only 60 hours on it for 200$. I run Garmin echo map units on my Crestliner and love them. I have to say this humminbird is pretty impressive for what it is. Been playing with it and putting in my settings. I’ll plug it into the transducer...

    Cigarettes, shocked!

    Went into town this morning. Got behind a lady in the store that bought a carton of cigarettes. I didn’t think I heard the cashier right when she said the total, so I asked when I paid for my stuff. Sure enough a WHOPPING 125$ for a carton of Marlboro lights. I had no idea they were that much...

    Forest destruction

    A neighboring property owner had a so called forester come in to supposedly help him create a healthy forest. To cut down dead trees and preserve the saplings and undergrowth. Guy sold him a bill of goods. They destroyed a very healthy forest. Turns out the guy is a timber buyer. He came to my...

    Found a tackle bag loaded.

    Went over to the local reservoir this afternoon to make sure my Jon boat was secured for the incoming storm. Went over to check the launch and out in the middle of the lot sat a tackle bag packed full of expensive bass stuff. Estimate it at 800 to 1000 dollars worth. Went through it looking for...

    Arghh! Freakin raccoon.

    Just now My female black lab hauled butt out the doggy door with my male lab right behind her. That’s when the screeching and yelping started. It sounds bad. By the time I got outside a huge raccoon chased the female out of the yard where the battle began right up the steps on to our deck She...

    Cars you should have kept.

    All this talk about new cars and all the gizmos got me thinking of some of the old cars I had when I was young that I wish I still had. I had a bunch. Probably the one I miss the most was a 1967 Buick Grand Sport 400 with factory 4 speed and one year only big crazy air filter. Valuable piece...

    New motor arrived today

    After years of using regular trolling motors on electric only reservoirs I finally decided to go with an actual electric outboard. Mind you it’s not a monster, entry level only rated as a 3HP equivalent. It runs on 36 volts. I’m waiting on a 36 volt LiFeP04 to complete the set up. The separate...

    Off shore customer service frustration.

    Spent a total of 2 1/2 hours yesterday over the course of 3 calls and went through 6 customer service reps before I got one that I could fully understand and knew what was going on. Frustrating to say the least. You can hear the room full of people in the background jabbering away. Curious what...
