Rick Thanks for sharing. That is a wonderful story and an inspiration to us all. M (Da Grump)

And what would be the limit for those that drink AND smoke ?? I just can't wait for the next series of TV adverts ..."Have you been arrested for...." or "have you or a loved one...." Should make lots of revenue for a certain sector of the legal community. (C-Brats excepted of course :-)) M

I think Bill Clinton started this with "it all depends what you mean by...." M

Jim, It appears that even two cups of coffee is not enough for my brain :-) Correction to my previous post:- My battery charge indication unit is a Victron BMV-600S and is doing a fine job. M

Coffe works fast !! Monitor is Magnum. West Marine #9369406. Worth every penny of it's $159.99 :-). Changed to Smart Plug connector at the boat side of shore power at the same time since the boat is plugged-in all the time at the dock and 4 slots down from me one caught fire last year. Get's...

Jim, After a series of "issues" with a Pro-sine 2000 last year which may well have cost me two sets of batteries and crappy support form Xantrex I did like Dr Bob and replaced the whole damned thing with a Master Volt 40 A system which is actually built like it was meant to be used on a boat...

I recall seeing somewhere a picture of a guy pulling an airplane with his teeth :-) Perhaps the answer lies with TWIN Sprinters... and it's only October.. M

Harvey, Good idea. The view has much less storage space than the equivalent sized trailer (which is perhaps a good thing for people like me who tend to take the kitchen sink etc...) so it could be good to get oversized "stuff" back there. The slide really illustrates just how much you gain by...

Harvey, In a word, Yes. But like all things, it is a lifestyle issue and depneds what you want to get out of it. We had a 25 ft trailer which fitted nicely behind the Chevy which also towed the boat. Rationale for that was not wanting yet another expensive engine and transmission system to...

Bob is spot on. The new Mercedes indeed a nice powerplant for it's intended purpose which is powering the sprinter chassis with various body configurations (The latest model uses the DEF (blue piddle) system to clean up the exhaust.) and has some increased load and towing capacity compared with...

Fishermans Bay also has cabins. Would recommend you call in advance as Dave is a very easy-going character and is not always around to answer radio. He also has e-mail at info@fishermansresortmarina.com or fishermans@dcnet.com As Barry said, a very pleasant walk to the pub. Some provisions...

Having just purchased a new Winnebago View on Sprinter chassis with the Mercedes diesel, I don't think I would attempt more than a "local" tow even though it is rated at 5000 lbs and 500 lb tongue weight. There is simply no comparison to a Chevy Duramax/Allison (which is admittedly overkill for...

Jim, Joan, Love the pictures of your haul-out and just sorry you are leaving us and taking away the sunshine you brought for so many months. Hope all goes well with your travels and maybe we see y'all next year. You know you are welcome to repeat the exercise. stay safe, M & K

Oh. Damn I forgot that. Must be getting old :lol: Here's a nice link for cat lovers:- http://www.kirotv.com/gallery/entertain ... 9/#2709642 M

OK Harvey. What's "growing up....sort of" :?: enquiring minds and all that... M

Looks like the "Big Ditch Dig" has started http://threesheetsnw.com/blog/2012/09/s ... rts-today/ M

Diluted white vinagar is often used as a solution to disinfect items and has no smell if allowed to dry. Don't know what the effect would be in a tank situation where it would never really dry. I like the concept of adding vinegar to bleach as a surface disinfectant. Vodka has the added...

"Miner recommends first diluting one cup of household bleach in one gallon of water and then adding one cup of white vinegar." That would make quite a brew for a boat or RV tankfull !!! Jus sayin, M

I think he should run for Mayor M
