  1. This has to be one of the craziest days for nasty weather,  6 rip roaring thunderstorms since 1pm and they just keep coming, massive rain dumps and a couple blasts of wind that sent the chairs for a loop.  Couple of trees down and lots of new sprouting twig ends all over. 

  2. Bad ground, corroded wires along the circuit.  The sending unit is a basic rheostat,  where the metal arm rubs along the wire winding around a longer post.  The shorter the distance between the metal arm contact and wire winding, the lower the ohms will read. 

    There's a whole variety of different shapes but most use the same principle.

  3. Well, I'll make an attempt.

    I get the following words in no particular order.

    Refresh, Fisherman, Mother, Hooked, Whale, Oil and Beef with a bunch of left over letters.  I'm going for an Excedrin or 2 now.

    I'm bordering on the 7 decades shortly.

  4. Well there's lots of rocket scientists out there who probably never passed physics 101.  If you don't tie down the rear of the boat to the trailer even a piece of 2x4 does nothing for saving the transom.  What you want is to have the boat and trailer going over potholes and bumps to do it together, not the boat flopping around on the trailer and then the weight of the motor adding to the motion.  A transom saver ensures the unsupported lower end of the motor from from flopping around.  I've watched mine going over bumps, the whole trailer, boat and motor move up and down as one unit.  No flopping.  Your toys, due your diligence.

  5. Yes the rat traps do work until they get wary of them and then they'll avoid them no matter what bait you put in there.  I use a Crosman Baze XT, 1200 fps, one shot dead at 80 feet with the pointed pellets.

     So for now, in my house the air fryer sits at the back of cupboard gathering dust.

     

     

     

     

     

    I'm sure if you go to any house there is probably a pile of cupboard queen appliances that have been used once or twice never to see daylight again.  I like my cast iron fry pans and stainless pots.

  7. The old ARGO's were a far cry from the newer ones.  I remembered having to change roll pins on  the axles and when the newer splined drive shaft ones came out, oh joy.  But you still have to do due diligence and make sure everything is oiled/greased and adjusted.  Newer fuel injected motors are much better too.
