The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Thanks everyone for the welcome back. I surely miss those days when I was working 3rd shift and getting home at 7am and being on the water fishing by 7:30. 2 hrs of nice quiet time before the tow boaters came out. There was always that one guy that just loved to buzz and harass me. He's come...
Wow, can't believe it has been so long. Looks like 6 years!! Yikes.
Back then about that time I had a life changing event that led to a triple bypass. Long recovery and a fear of being on the boat by myself as I would always do. Because of the heart disease it caused a couple changes in jobs and...
I know from previous conversations that many here also do some shooting and I have rekindled the interest and even got the wife involved. So far she is enjoying it and becoming a pretty good shot.
Thus all pretty much came about as a result of all the trips and extended stays I had been making...
Hello again everyone. Yes I am still alive, barely. It's been a horrible year but I'm hoping for a much better next year. Quick update about me and what has happened since I was last here.
Feb I had a catheterization done on both legs and was recovering nicely and looking forward to getting in...
So what is everyone doing now that photobucket has changed their Terms of Use? No more 3rd party image hosting!! I had a lot of pictures on here that are now gone and I refuse to pay them a ransom of $400.00 a year for their service.
Well it looks as if I haven't been here since the middle of March. Even missed my Birthday, so thank you all for the well wishes.
So this New Year hasn't been so kind as I finally had a surgery to repair my legs, http://forums.iboats.com/forum/other/dockside-chat/10341958-hope-to-be-back and I...
Just got home yesterday from another hospital stay that was supposed to be done last month. They did another surgery on my legs and so far there has been much improvement. Much of the pain has been relieved and I'm much more mobile. Now to regain my strength and now that it's warming up soon...
Been awhile, see some major changes since last visit. Really feel out of touch.
Been a long slow summer and not much has changed other than been back in the hospital twice since I last visited. The July trip was rough but I did get my 1st helicopter ride.. Then on Labor Day my wife splurged and...
It never even got started this year. With the 2 minor heart attacks since Jan., the last being just a few weeks ago I just had a follow-up today and left disappointed. This time they found and showed me 4 more areas that are occluded but not bad enough to stent. Didn't mention anything about a...
So I finally found a nice pistol to take up the sport again and just received it today. It's a Taurus PT92C that I'd found on a web site and got it for a pretty good price in my opinion. From what I've found on Taurus website the gun was manf. in Jan 1997 yet it looks as if it's never been...
I haven't been to one in 30+ years and don't know what to expect or how to find a good one.
I know there are a lot of shooters among our members so let's hear you stories or advice. I'm still looking for a handgun to be used for home defense and general plinking. So a nice used model will do. I...
Many have participated in my other gun topic and I appreciate feedback. Now for the next question. Reloading presses.
Long ago I used to reload for pistol calibers and enjoyed it tremendously. Back then I did it the hard and long way with a single stage press, dippers & scale. So thinking that...
I know that I see topics brought up here on occasion about guns and such and know there are a good number of members that own them. So I'm looking for thoughts and advice.
Many years ago I used to own and did a lot of pistol shooting, was even doing my own reloading. I enjoyed it then and had a...
Well friends guess I'll be taking some breaks for a while. Tues. afternoon had another bus ride to the ER and just got home this evening. I really hate going there because each time it gets harder.. , and harder to stay. Had another catheterization performed and got away this time w/o any new...
Wishing a Joyous Christmas and a Better Next Year to all our members
As it turns out we will not be alone after all this Christmas. Our son and family is coming in from Minn., our daughter and family from Tenn. and best of all my little sister and her family that I haven't seen in years will be...
Anyone experienced with these things? I've got a Kero-Sun 23000btu heater that I'm have problems with. It will light but then burns down quickly like it's not getting fuel. Wick is only 1 year old and wasn't used that much and the tank is full. I've gone thru the directions for cleaning the wick...
Since the last update there must have been a change made and can't figure it out.
When I make a post with a picture pasted from photobucket there was a img. code inserted in the text box as it does now. I could edit a picture by that code in the text box after it was posted. Now after I post a...
Do of you fine members happen to have any pictures of their boats with the Rustoleum Red or Blue paint?
I'm curious to see what these colors look like on a boat. Going to be painting mine and have been thinking I'd like to do it in a dark blue but I also already have some red that I was going...
I feel for all you folks out west. Last evening we had storms begin about 3:30 pm, was still raining at 5am when the wife left for work. Weather report this evening was that we received over 4" of rain in that period. It is now storming again and we have received almost another 1/2" tonight...
