    The never ending chat thread, chat about anything That your up too

    When the power folding step gates first became a thing we kind of scoffed. But a friend made the observation that as he got older he started to appreciate the idea of some help getting and out of the truck. I'm beginning to see his point.

    Mrs. Avenger and I were down where my friend keeps his boat, and I was showing her where one of his dock mates boat was stolen from. We looped over to the ramp and it appeared somebody had to do some emergency brake modifications.

    Almost,... For Once.

    I think you're right. The Captain's observation was similar. If they don't care enough to break your chops, they don't care. Unlike your observation about not making it personal, he and his cousin (Not actually a relative. Long story.) are unmerciful with each other. I don't think most people...

    I see a potential conflict of financial interests here when somebody has their self-driving cat bring them home from a tavern. All of these things represent a potential massive loss of revenue to law enforcement and insurance companies.

    120 in one operation. :eek: Do you know what it takes to get a CDL? The testing and requirements are quite thorough for a reason. Yet somehow sanctuary states are handing them out like tic tacs. WT Actual F?

    You're right. Some people love to break b@lls and that's just how they relate. And if they're cool with that, that's fine. In my general view, that's not the way you treat people you respect. And I tend to be compassionate towards people who are having a bad day. Particularly if it's one of...

    Almost,... For Once.

    We ran out to the JI this morning, really expecting to just drown bait. We (meaning me) got a couple of short fluke. The captain and I both brought a couple of Sea Robins aboard which generously sacrificed a few fillets for bait. While that was going on we worked our way back through the...

    Also, the location of the fuel fill right under the sail panel indicates the gas tank is in front of the trunk, behind the rear seat.

    I believe that is the gas tank. The construction and the straps all look like typical gas tank. I think what you're interpreting as a gas tank is the trunk floor.

    I know about it, not from personal recollection at the time, but forgot her name. Squeaky Fromme OTOH, that's a name you don't forget.
