Just finished cleaning the boat after a rough day. Wind sucked. Tide sucked. Dirty water. And the weekend warriors. I think one in particular got the picture when I asked him to pass the coffee, lol. Close one. Lots of hours for a couple. Someone had to stay on the wheel to get the drift to work. Glad folks caught.

beautiful fish and great job staying at the wheel, that takes skill and a necessity in those rough conditions especially with other boats getting chopped around in the slop

I had the Taco telescoping outriggers. when inshore I would retract them and lay them flat on the canopy or take them off completely...they had a tendency to slip / wear out on the connection area near the base...that was a long time ago so maybe they are designed and bulit differently now.

Putting the final touches on my project to take all 14 Monty Python's Flying Circus DVDs and convert them to MPGs so I can watch on any device on my home network.

I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition...

These are the gemlux. I guess lazy to take on and off.

Just installed the new starter on the lawn tractor. So now I have a new battery and starter and it still only turns an inch. I’m no mechanic and I don’t even play one on TV. Back to the walk behind

How hard is it to take starter out

Can't take my F150 out of park. Had to turn to YouTube to try and play mechanic. Turns out I have no brake lights when I hit the brake pedal. So I checked the fuse and that's fine. Looks like I need to change the brake light switch. That should be fun cramming my hand up into that area.

That makes sense, the car can't tell that you're holding the brake down when trying to shift out of park - good troubleshoot.

Some cars/trucks have a bypass so in that situation you can get out of park

Besides the two bolts holding the starter about 6 bolts to access it

Did you ever check the ground?

Yes. And now I’m in the middle of mowing the front lawn I go to empty the bag and now it won’t start

Chevy1 · 2026-10-05T15:50:51-0400
