Just wanted to thank all that post here in Dockside Chat. I enjoy the humor, the honesty, the freedom, the candor, and the lack of those lacking common sense. Solving the small issues of the world one day at a time.
A toast to all who post here!
Have to give give Nascar / Fox credit for the opening ceremonies of the race. Nice to see recognition of the souls that have allowed America to be free.
The Lincoln Letter was a great touch to honor those that have fallen to protect our freedoms.
Have to be honest and say it it brought a...
We have started a rebuild of our 62 Land Rover. Rover's had aluminum bodies, no rust. The original frame and other parts are steel, some galv.
Saw a ytube video on rust remove with electricity. A tub of water, some laundry soda mixed in, a battery charger, steel wire and some sacrificial...
Several years ago I bought two trailers for $50. The first I welded up the frame, dropped a $100 tin row boat on it and sold it for $400.
This one laid around until it was decided that it will become a flat bed utility with options. It will carry a Sunfish and a few kayaks when a rack it...

Turns out the fine hull was owned by a Starmada member. "Snowday Blessing" was loaded for fun, kayaks...

Over the Holiday weekend, two families rented a pontoon on a large local lake. While anchored at a sand bar they let the kids swim. A 15 year old boy started with a life jacket but proceeded to take it off. The parents requested he put it back on more than once.
At some point the teenager...
Used my blower (Craftsman *8hp OHV 12xxxx series Briggs) a week ago, Left it out on the side of the driveway. Went to start it up and couldn't pull it over. Did some reading on line and it sounded like the valves needed adjusting to allow the compression let off act properly.

My Hp G56 has a screen that pops up stating that the windows license will expire soon. I went to settings and entered in the product key on the back but it was not accepted. Thinking this is due to an upgrade to windows 8.1 at some point prior to my ownership.
Is there a work around for this...
