Some more... 8) for the wallet.... 1. Use the tape to reinforce those little plastic pockets in the wallet. 2. Use it as a poor man's laminate for cards, etc.. Art

Here is another UBI - I use that ~2" wide clear packing tape for many little functions such as reinforcing the edges of our 'blackout shades' where we grab them to pull them down and to make tabs on 'self sealing 'zip-lock' type bags to give us a better pull to open them. There is also the...

We do own an old Singer treadle sewing machine with the leather drive belt. It still works and it was my wife's grandmothers. It is fun to play with now and again. Art

I have acquired small collection of leather belts over the years with each having a particular purpose. Well, with time they have gotten scratched and marked. All my leather 'stuff' has 'NEATSFOOT OIL' soaked into it to keep them soft and water resistant, no rot. I have used this oil on my...

I would suggest a wet/dry canister 12vdc type. There are several found with a web search. I have used mine to clean wet areas and it is going strong after 8 yrs. Just keep them clean and check the wires periodically. art

Now Harvey, did you just 'reiterate' a 'key' point? :roll: Art

More of a side question, but is there a requirement for a boater license in OR? If so, what and how does it impact on the situation? YES, do take a Boating Safety Course as suggested. Some avenues are available via on-line state sponsored self help which will give you the vocabulary and...

Rob; You could also bend the wiper holder, only AFTER, you have tried all the above great suggestions. I have attached the adjustment procedures of my wiper arms here to add something else to your tool box - You will find it within this 'documentation folder'...

It took me two times having the carbs cleaned and rebuilt because I thought I was using the boat often enough. I thought that by having the extensive water separation/fuel system I would be safe, even when I can view and drain each filter. My bad and with the help of todays gas, I lose. After a...

Rob, Thanks for your kind words. Since the beginning of my new journey I have started physical therapy with positive results, between that and the medications that block the nerve responses. This journey will be slow, but it will go forward. I kid folks here by saying ,'l may not be the fastest...

I failed to add to my earlier notes about the coax and connectors. The coax cables you most likely will see attached to the VHF antennas will be either the RG58 series or possibly the RG8x, both of these are about 50 ohms impedance. The RG58 is the smaller of the two in diameter and each will...

Over the years I have also invested in sets of crimp tools for BNC, 50 and 75 ohm impedances and the PL259 UHF connector all for the RG6, RG8X, RG8/U, RG58 and RG59 cables. I mention this to show that there are individual crimp tools and crimp tool sets with interchangeable jaws and...

WOW, So many encouraging comments and experiences. :thup What a follow up to my experience last Sunday when after I was prayed over, the pain in my back was gone. I can now walk up and down my stairs without much difficulty, though I do need to strengthen the legs after so long a period of...

My, my, 'Free Money', I am so blessed with what we have had and have now. I can't forget the support of my wife, friends and adopted families here. Since my purchase of Sea Angel, it has been kept abt 13 miles from my home in dry storage. I just call ahead during the week and it is placed on a...

Bob, Thanks for the encouragement. I did meet with the neurosurgeon and, like yourself, I too have heart disease. He does not recommend that I have the surgery. I have to smile a little for when I started to carry my cane - I had a lot of people opening doors for me. This is something new, to...

As an older guy,72, I seem to be starting to fall apart faster than expected. My question seems to be at what point is it best to sell my 2005 CD-25, SEA ANGEL? The engines have just been serviced and ready for the year(467hrs ea.) In the past 3 months I find myself now climbing stairs one at...

Hi Dick; For SEA ANGEL, a CD25, I had a camper back with 'glass' and screens panels fabricated locally. I later added two zippers to be sewn into the roof panel (one from each side towards the center)so I could reach the running light post and to move from the cockpit to the bow safely. In 2007...

Age hits, again.... Thanks for all the dedicated work and time procuring these fine burgees.. What was I thinking forgetting a Thank You. :oops: Art

DA NAG; Now I can adorn my bow rail with this great burgee (arrived Thursday) and leave the port stern rail for the 'Stars & Stripes' (already mounted). Yes, now I think SEA ANGEL has some ADDED CLASS. Art
