    Goex Pinnacle Black Powder

    I recently purchased a bottle of GOEX pinnacle black powder. When I got it home, I discovered they were long and wedge shaped rather than flat and round for a specific caliber like many of the other premeasured BP. I'm unclear on how to load these: Does the apex or base of these wedges go...

    Trail Cameras

    With hunting licenses going for sale in PA this month I'm beginning to think of the fall hunting season. For the past few years, I've also been thinking of building a permamnent tree stand where my kids can come along. We have about 12 acres of wooded property where we see deer on a regular...

    Outdoor Wood Furnaces

    Now that the winter and cold weather is pretty much behind us, I am thinking of a proactive measure for heating my home for the 08-09 season. We currently have an oil fired forced hot air system which was very pricey (about 3K) to operate this year with the prevailing fuel costs. I have a...

    Chev. S-10 Blazer wheel hubs

    I've owned a 98 chev blazer since brand new and keep on having problems with wheel hubs wearing. I've had 2 replaced by a mechanic at $400+ each time and have replaced 2 by myself. The last hub I replaced has less than 8K miles on it and is now beginning to show signs of wear again. It...

    Trim & RPM Guages

    I just woke my boat up from her winter nap and took her for a quick ride around the lake to make sure everything works ok. Although it started up easy and performed well, I noticed two guages were not working properly. The tilt and trim on the OB motor (F150) works perfrectly well. However...

    Ballistic Re hub

    I picked up a prop at a fishermans swap meet last weekend which I intend to keep on hand as a spare backup. The prop is a Ballistic SS 14 1/2 x 19 pitch and is excellent condition. The problem is that it has a spun hub which the seller was up front about. With the chances of having a nice...

    98 Chev Blazer Radiator Flush

    I planned to flush my radiator this weekend. Earlier in the week, I purchased a bottle of radiator flush/cleaner and then topped the radiator off with water and drove for about 200mi. The guy at the auto parts store conveyed the radiator holds 1.5 to 2 gal of antifreeze so I agreed to...

    TC Triumph in-line muzzleloader load Info.

    Last weekend I just purchased a Thompson Center Triumph in line muzzleloader with a Nikon BDC scope. I have been doing the flintlock thing for the past 10+ years and know the mechanics of front stuffers fairly well but in-lines are an unfamiliar arena for me. I picked up a starter kit which...

    Xpress Boats

    I've been to a few boat shows in search to downsizing my boat from a 20' fiberglass Center Console to a lighter aluminum welded hull between 17'- 19'. In previous years, X press boats caught my attention with a lightweight, functional, and sporty design. However, all 3 dealers within a...

    Towing Charges

    I have a Chev Silverado 2500 w/ Duramax Diesel and have been offered an opportunity to do some towing for a local dealer. It involves a trip to South Jersey from PA once a week (about 250 round miles) Jan. through March and a few local shows within 50 miles of the dealership. Since I won't be...

    Chain Saws

    My only experience with chain saws has been as a borrower. One was a Stihl which cut very good but was very tough to get started. The other was a Husquvarna which started easily but was a little too heavy and quite tiring after an hour of use. Now I need to buy one of my own which will be...

    Muzzleloader Conicals

    I have a TC Hawken that I haven't shot in a few years and only have experience with shooting patched roundballs from it. The barrell has a 1/48 twist which is suitable for shooting conicals but I have never shot them before. This summer I aquired a box (about 100) of conicals from an estate...

    Best rewards credit card.

    I have a handful of credit cards which were aquired by provoking offers. ie. 10% off first order, free merchandise, etc. Any single one has never really afforded a significant reward and I am considering only using one card to maximize rewards (preferrably cash back instead of $ off if...

    Yamaha 4stk 30HP Outboard Jet.

    I'm looking for a 25-30 HP tiller jet drive for a 15ft mod V riverboat. Visiting Yamahas web site they indicate their outboard jet drives begin at 30HP but do not list any specs for a 30HP jet drive. The smallest Yammie jet drive I see listed is a 40HP which is a bit overkill and pricier...

    Credit Reporting

    I have an X tennant that skipped out (breaking a 1yr lease) owing me a month rent plus it was about 1 1/2 months later until the smoke cleared and I was able to get another suitable tennant. I have a judgement (in my favor) of about $1700 from the district magistrate but learned that...

    Satellite TV Service

    Thinking of the long winter ahead after putting the cover on my boat and am trying to educate myself on having satellite TV service installed to help make the days pass faster. One person told me satellite TV may eventually become obsolete as broadband TV programming will begin becoming...

    Hot Maps Premium Problem

    I have been having a problem with my Navionics Hot Maps Premium card in my Lowrance X18C Sonar/GPS/Plotter. Once a lake is located, and I begin zooming in to view depth and structure, all keys become inactive until the unit is powered down and then powered back up again. If I put in a...

    Minn Kota Shear Pin Broke

    I hit a rock and broke the propshaft shear pin. Ironically the prop is fine. The worse news is that the pin broke off both sides with the solid piece stuck in the prop shaft. I've tried banging it through with a drift but it won't move. Also have broke about 5 titanium drill bits trying to...

    I made a stupid mistake the other night. It was dark and when unhooking my trailer, left the breakaway cable on. Pulled the truck away broke the cable to activate the trailer brakes. Got a new cable and fixed that problem but today I towed the boat to a lake about 10 mi from my house...

    Min Kota EM series

    I've read a few articles in varuous fishing magazines about Min Kotas EM (engine mounted) trolling motors. However, I have never seen one on a boat or know of anyone that has one mounted on their motor. It is something I'm interested in since I don't have any place to put a kicker motor on my...
