  5. A career change is at times frightening but with planning and following up on leads you can make it. I started the tradesman road 30 years ago and have always been happy with my choice. Good luck Art
  6. Good for you Paul a nice boat and all the fresh air you can breath. Art
  7. If you contact Navionics they might offer a credit for the old one applied towards a new card. I haven't done it but it seems I had heard they were doing that at one point. Art
  8. While not a restaurant here was my lesson learned: It was summer time and hot as can be while I was working in an attic repairing a vent line that was never glued. I finished the job and was collecting the money for the work when she asked if I would like a glass of tea. I said sure thanks and she poured me a glass of it with ice and handed it to me. I downed the tea which was very sweet but it was liquid and handed the glass back and thanked her as I headed out the door. I drove about a block and then my head started to spin and my body felt like I was floating so I pulled over and for the next 45 minutes I felt like I had heat stroke. I was feeling better and since I have never had heat related symptoms so I called the nice Asian lady who had offered me the tea to find out what kind it was.....Well all that I can say is when someone offers you tea ASK if it is made from tea or something else it seems a refreshing drink in her house is made from Poppy seeds. Art
  9. Nice report the fishing looked great. Art
  10. You might look at a sling blade or kaiser ax as they are known. The swedish ax possible might fit your bill. If you are looking for a machete look for these features. A nonslip handle that is bolted, a high carbon blade and a thick spline. If you can flex the blade from the tip to the handle then their is more of a chance for deflection. Remember to put it away cleaned and oiled it will cut much better than if it is rough and rusted. Art
  11. It is made from hardwoods and has what looks like mitered joints. The time to glue/screw sand and stain is worth the 90.00. It appears to have decent casters on it as a bonus. To build this from scratch using blueprints you will have 8 hours atleast into it. Art
  12. I had a friend of mine who carried a compass on a key chain with lots of keys and he couldn't figure out why it read differently than the one in my truck. I told him it was because the truck was digital and his compass was analog. The good news is we don't let him go out in the woods unescorted any more.... Art
  13. So who is the lucky candidate who gets a rain snow check ? Art
  14. what no bread crumbs??? probably best to sit it out till the snow stops. Art
  15. If I was going to torture ya T.J. you can bet I will be coming to your doorstep were their isn't any witnesses. Art
  16. While Joey is worth 2 flats of cash...I can only afford 2 tires with no air right now. Art
  17. The tripods may be o.k. on the ice but I bought one for the boat and it was good for less than 5 min. before my boys said uncle. Art
  18. Can I have Pauls ticket if I ride a bike up their with 2 flats??? Art
  19. The next step back in your 2nd childhood puts you in diapers ya know... Art
  20. Thumbs = top of the food chain Art
  21. I did it with a 12ft boat and a 1967 elgin 9.9. The fun part was it has a stick to steer with and the throttle was a slide lever from the left to right. Every time I shifted my weight to reach the leaver the boat did a hiccup and got squirrelly Boy was that a scary ride....then I did it again. Art
  22. I love that era were fins were big and they made the cars and boats run just a little faster. I hope to some day restore one of the old boats modeling it after the "Batboat". Art
  23. I feel on review I cheated Aaron of his chance to have the discussion he deserves. I am trying to repair a mistake I made. I hope it does not come back to bite me... Art
  24. With calmer heads we can continue this discussion. Art
  25. Well that puts a kink in my approach...If it starts to get to cold you can turn off the pump if it is a jet pump and open the cap on top to drain back the house. Make sure you open all of the faucets hot and cold to allow it to drain. Art
