    vaccination

    In most jurisdictions as far as I can see, when you get your first shot it is tied to the date and time of your second shot. The person who lost their place in line cannot get the second shot in any case. My first shot came with a second shot date and time (both made clear at the time of making...

    vaccination

    I got my first COVID-19 shot yesterday here in Boulder City, Nevada - at 74 7/8s I was the youngest person in my group. The minute we add the "I" word to the decision to vaccinate or not, then the discussion ends for me. We vaccinate to control a disease in a general population, the personal...

    SBS 2021 CBGT - Zoom

    Don't fret - Zoom is easier than posting pictures on our Forum!!! I even had a name we might consider "Chat's in the Cockpit" with virtual coffee and donuts - no masks needed. I was a bit resistant at first but in the three Zoom groups that I meet with every week, we have had zero flamers, no...

    SBS 2021 CBGT - Zoom

    Yup - the wife and I Zoom every week. Not hard, download the app to your phone or computer, someone volunteer to be the host (pro version is best), set an agenda and away we go. There is a short learning curve, how to mute you audio, how to salvage a session with a weak signal by turning off...

They have trees to climb, safe routes to follow, a night time Hiding Hole that is near the trucks. I have a friend who has a...

    Eco boost

    We just sold our horse ranch in Yucca Valley and rats eat Fords and MBZs there everyday. Here is what we do: #1 Try not to park outside, it is the kiss of death! #2 Get some barn cats - no names please and pick them up in threes at the entry to a local country Walmart - never let them into the...

    Recovering from Covid

    David, thanks for taking the time and effort to keep us informed about your recovery. We are a strange little family, some like me with no boat but a BRAT to the core and others with much much more invested in our community of boaters. Those who cannot care about the Forum, the Boat, and the...

    Jim and the Blond (former owners of Wild Blue)

    Men (and wives), Captain Jim has published a very transparent log on his blog of a bout with prostate issues. Most of us could not be that open and his posts are a gift to us who have secret worries, do not do well with health issues, and are getting up there in age (all plumbing systems are...

    Power stations

    Battle Born is right down the street from us here in Nevada. I agree that you can build better and cheaper than you can buy. The new Bluetti can charge from multiple sources including 12 volt batteries. Personally. I like Honda 2200 and a 60 amp charger/inverter but then that is why they have...

    Newbie questions about generators

    The latest version of the Honda 2000 has Blue Tooth, a nice app, and you can turn it off with your phone. It is 2200 watts with a higher max continuous load rating than the older 2000 (which I have had for ten years or so). The new models have a fuel shut off switch, the older ones do not. You...

    Condensation

    Mascoat but there are others also. There is a thread or two here on the site. Marinauts used this material for a bit. They are nice folks but this is a large application material but they have sold smaller quantiles. It can be brushed or rolled but a strong airless is best. Two to three coats is...

    Ford F150 or Toyota Tundra or ???

    We put 365,000 miles on our first 2006 Toyota Tundra LTD and it never once broke and did not ever go to the dealer as in never. I did change the oil 120 times and put in two timing belts (not cheap). I sold it for 40% of what I paid for it and then found a "Grandpa/Barn Find" 2006 Tundra SR/TRD...

    No need to lose your whole life's work!

    Bob, you have given so much great advice to those on the forum and I really appreciate all you share, often from the School of Hard Knocks. When I see one neighbor with a hose save three houses but the rest of the block burns down, it breaks my heart. Insurance is not the answer to risk, it is...

    No need to lose your whole life's work!

    C-BRATS, I had offered in a prior post to come alongside anyone of you who did not want to get 2 minutes on the daily news feed in front of the total loss of your life's work or worse yet, the death or injury of a loved one. My parents lost their home in Napa twice to floods. I have friends...

    Honda eu2000 - two tips

    C-BRATS, The new Yamaha has a fuel drain and petcock. You can modify the Honda to so the same thing so you can reach the drain screw via a hole in the access cover or put in the shut off switch mod but these things run forever on a float bowl of fuel. I use Sea Foam and Stabil Marine Fuel...

    Front deck tarp

    Horrible Fright (Harbor Freight) tarp, sometimes free or a only a dollar. Fold and staple till you are happy, then tape the final shape with doubled edges and mark the grommet holes. I put in two next to each other to allow for cross tightening/in and out bungee hook up - then look to a lift...

    Front deck tarp

    We have a house in the desert and find solid shade covers blow away or tear themselves up and without wind, the heat still comes though. The company link below leads to all kinds of shelter cloth/material one of which I really like is Aluminet. They custom cut and hem and will put grommets as...
