    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    interesting comment about bottom paint. I did my pontoon after seeing pontoons that operate on the chesapeake without paint. What a mess. And a lift cost vs me repainting every two years doesn't work. but curious why someone wouldn't buy a boat that's been bottom painted.

    2025 - My Season By The Numbers

    Boating GPS

    Not understanding . My northeast subscription , which includes the bay, is renewed every april. Plus occasional updates. My bay map last year showed different depths and shoaling from the previous year in various places .

    I do have to renew a subscription every year for my Garmin, but it's worth it for piece of mind.

    Best diet to lose 20 lbs?

    "healthy" eating.....it's a conundrum. a personal choice based on one's knowledge and/or beliefs....and whats hanging around the waist. 🤔 Babies, kids....get cancer. Olders live into 90's, 100's and maybe they started every day with a shot of bourbon and a cigar. Livers as healthy as can be...

    rodent infestation

    they are clever. After I began dispatching them I noticed after awhile no matter how quiet I was opening the door and having my pellet rifle, if they saw me, they'd run. Also, if others were present like on the transmission wires, they'd chatter and flick their tails.....that's their danger warning

    rodent infestation

    lol naw, they don't. I've dispatched a few over the years that were hanging on the bird feeders and others would climb up anyway before I disposed of their buddy.
