  1. There are a couple of unknowns here, how big is your gas motor, how far do you run at any speed above idle to charge the trolling battery. Safety issue, none that I can think of other than don't trip over the booster cables and make big lightning bolts,,,a.k.a. sparks. Depending on the output of the alternator on the motor and time spent running at speed, you can achieve some recharging.
  2. What Wayne said, Round Gobys have the front pelvic fins fused together, I see a distinct split on the picture shown upside down.
  3. I see some optimistic smiles there, hope for the best.
  4. My alligator hide must be a bit thicker than yours, I asked her, quite loudly if she knew where most the United Funds went, a couple folks further back said, United Way administration and wages. Now if you want to donate to my pension fund then I may reciprocate.
  5. First post you call her the "girlfriend", last post you call her the "wife" and you've been around with good luck, hmmmm
  6. Carling eh? Bet you remember Hey Mable..Black Label
  7. Where the heck are you finding a 24 for $24? Not nice to keep secrets..
  8. Hahahaha, I have room in the garage if you need.
  9. Boom, dig and dispose, or Fffffft, wait and dispose.(Don't know how to make a crossbow arrow noise).
  10. Thou shalt make yourself aware of the process and then you won't be wondering. http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/debs-obs-paperwork-paperwork_boat_licence-3212.htm#how3
  11. That's why I said right from the start, it's an inferior product, and like you said, that should be addressed while they are building them and put the interference filter into the unit, not something as an fix after you annoy the customer at his cost.
  12. It doesn't say in the manual where the fuse locations are?
  13. Lew, yes I've got a borderline case of sleep apnea, they did the test, yada, yada, plugged me into the Darth Vader air compressor, what a fight. Went back several times for different masks, full face, nose only, the best I did was 2 hours. The last horrible episode had me wake up with about 50 psi inside me and ready to hurl..very far. I guess somehow it was filling my gastro intestinal tract for quite a while. Anyway, burped and pharted for an eternity. Next morning the machine went back. There is another alternative they advertise, it's a dental fitting that prevnets snoring, advertised a lot on the radio. Here's the link: http://torontodentalcare.ca/dental_services/snoring.html
  14. I don't think the weight capacity is actually derived from the number of rollers, that comes from the frame, springs, axles and tires. Obviously the more rolers you have, the more surface contact area you have with the bottom of the hull and spreads the weight out more over the hull. The trick is to have all the rollers applying equal load bearing.
  15. Strange, nobody standing around this guy, I think it's the smell he's exuding, Called Eau de full of ______. I'm with Terry on this one.
  16. That's pretty life like, very nice job.
  17. Ya, I understand ya. I wonder why people choose walking along a highway instead of back a little further. Then there's people that have the white line fever and don't see or hear anything for miles and miles, wouldn't know if they hit anything at all. I'm sure a semi wouldn't feel much more than a mosquito sized speed bump and in the dark probably never saw anything at all. A smaller vehicle on the other hand, if they didn't see it, then at least feel it, but even there, some are soooo oblivious to their surroundings.
  18. Nothing wrong with your rant, for me, brakes are those things that prevent the splat or in other words, lack of ability to come to a controlled stop.
  19. Nothing a water truck can 't fix, fill the moat and float your boat away..
  20. Wife: What's on TV? Husband: Dust...and then the fight started.
  21. Then I guess I wasn't that far off.
  22. A nice report, maybe I'll just keep my old beater for another year or two.
  23. I've got an older galvanized rim with about the same runout, that was done free for me at XXX Tire Shop on Anne St in Barrie, couple of numbnutz that couldn't mount new rubber on the rim and seat the bead without warping the rim on the machine. Try to prove that. You can get a good idea of the runout by slowly spinning the rim, with or without rubber on the hub. Place a piece of 4x4 or brick on its side beside the tire with two thin rulers on top pointing toward the rim, one ruler on top of the other. Rotate and find the spot on the rim closest to the ruler, slide the bottom one to touch it. Continue to rotate slowly until you find the furthest away spot. slide the top ruler over without disturbing the bottom one. Lift both rulers together without disturbing the distance between the two, you'll then see approximately how much the rim is out. Now there is another remote possibility. If there was some crud in the jig when they mate the outer rim and inner face of the wheel for welding and everything is not 100% aligned when they weld it, you'll end up with a wobble. Who knows how many "escaped" quality control.
  24. The only channel that gets static from the F/F is 69, mind you , my F/F is ancient and I'm not about to put it to pasture yet. If you're getting static on all channels, then I'm suspecting you have a questionable quality F/F/GPS and it shouldn't be doing that.
