I have a ChiHuaHua named ChaCha. I love this dog and therefore: #1 She is "chipped", that's right, she can be scanned #2 She is vaccinated against nine (9) diseases including Corona #3 She is licensed and wears three forms of ID at all times #4 She is fed home made food, no processed foods of...

Fellow Water Lovers, I must confess, I have eaten a Twinkie that was more than a few years old, but only after being deep fried and then dipped in chocolate (the Twinkie not me). Here is a link to the in depth study done on that particular example of TwinkieHood done by the Smithsonian...

Friends, Out of bad there is always some good and the fact that we talk more about health than sports now might be a good thing from COVID-19. May I suggest: #1 Keep a running tally of your vitals, taken the same time of day every day and log onto a spread sheet. Blood pressures, pulse...

TyBoo, this is not a monkey on your back but if the forum leaders elect to update the software, I am in for some $$$ to help out the effort. Others will help also. No complaints, no suggestion, just as offer to help out with the cost. Thanks for all you do to keep us up and running. Bob Jarrard

Unless you need a $50 Defender membership, the same unit on ebay has the same price and free shipping. Good unit as it has the better style compressor but all of these are re-badged and made in the same garage!!! Bob

So how is the weather where you live and what is the price of regular gas at your local Costco ($2.84 in Henderson - Nevada). Also, can you buy ethanol free gas close to home or to the launch ramp you use? All very safe discussion topics. Bob

Having spent a great deal of time, money and effort in trying to get a half a knot more from a sailboat - I have found that changing lots of little things in the mix is often less expensive, easier and more effective than dropping the big bucks on the big change. Just a few thoughts: #1 Bottom...

If everything in the world was nice and tidy as the British say, then we would be in Heaven or it would be heaven on earth. I can tell you that as a Christian Pastor I let the Higher Authority deal with these matters and worry my night sleep with Honda vs Yamaha or perhaps dual engines vs a...

Very nice cooler but that is painted so it needs to be kept salt free and a regular coat of wax will be a good idea. Bob

Funny how some folks just do not like a certain color. As I listen right now to Elvis sing "Blue Suede Shoes" (watch where you step bud!) I reflect on how blue is not my color but red is!!!! Glad to see a new hull get closer to the water - the more the merrier. Bob Jarrard

Well, I have always thrown a rope (ooops - a line) to a nice young man on the dock who drags in one end or the other and then we walk her in - I cannot backup a trailer either and it takes about an hour to get the ball and hitch together. See ya. Bob jJrrard

-- One big benefit in not owning a "real" boat is that I have no dog in the fight so I can say just about anything and the worst thing that can happen is that Doctor Bob will give me a dressing down (which I do not take as a light rebuke). -- I agree that the cavitation plate on most outboards...

-- While the whole issue of engine rating plates has been hashed here a few times, we have good first person knowledge base here on the forum of what works on a C-DORY and I limited my comments to that brand. I have lots of history on Boston Whalers and a bit on tinniies (I own one right now - a...

Just a thought, over the years there have been many add ons and doohickeys for outboards. You have to question why the manufacturer wouldn't design an optimum lower end to begin with and in fact the "Big Foot" models do that to a a degree as do the various shaft lengths (15, 20 and 25 for the...

There is always the great debate of Kort Nozzles which if they have no function are zip in benefit for lots of $$$$$ In fishing communities I do see propeller rings/prop protectors on more than a few engines, especially smaller outboards. I agree that in most instances, the Permatrim with Bennet...

Wonder why the salvage boys did not step in, secure boats as they could and tie them off to trees and the like? I know that all would not be saved but some were untouched for a long time, just adrift. Bob

I lack the medical knowledge of Bob and others but I have farmed a bit and can tell you that just about the time you think you have the death rate down on the chickens and the pigs, it all starts up again. I would appreciate everyone following the guidelines and that includes getting the...

I just clipped the same WSJ article along with other to send to my friends who do no read newspapers. I have been an addict to quality journalism but I get some comfort from the Wall Street Journal, the Jerusalem Post, and the Las Vegas Review Journal. I dabble at the Christian Science Monitor...

We live in Clark County in the state of Nevada. But more importantly, we live in a small town on the edge of Sin City - here the local fire department and the park and rec department together with our town hospital are covering the whole shebang. if you pay taxes locally, you should get services...

Yup - we will be seeing third and fourth round booster/amended COVID-19 vaccines and I think that it will be either in combination or coordinated to our flu shot. Here in Nevada almost everyone got a quad valent/four strain flu shot for free if they wished. If you look at the reduction in...
