I can't believe it, Pat. You're a lawyer fercrissake. You have a degree in screwing! Now get in there and do it right! Oh, I see you already did. Never mind. Don

White is ground, little nephew. If you grounded to the frame AND the hitch is connected, you might have a rather precarious ground through the ball and the hitch between trailer and truck. If you are not hitched up then you do not have a ground connection at all with that white wire...

At my age, I understand. Eating is optional, but an easily accessed place to pee at night without risk of falling overboard? Priceless. Also looking forward to a photo or three Don

I trust you will succeed, Mr. C. I would ask Dusty but it looks like it was built a century after his Navy career. Nice photoshop, but we preferred Gilly (Dusty calls it Torpedo juice) while at sea. Occasionally a few *"Submarines" while ashore. For David D, Diesel submarines have 4...

Captured Somalian pirate mothership complete with gun ports? Strange configuration. Deck house makes it look more like a workboat but the power plant just doesn't fit "workboat". The ports don't give the "replenishment" vibe - more the "Pirate" vibe. Could be a mothership of some kind, but...

It's clear he's asking if mileage suffers if one chooses twins instead of a single outboard, Charlie. My answer is that two C22 Cdorys, the Halcyon and the Rana Verde cruised from WA to Alaska and back. Twice! Mostly within sight of each other the whole way. The Halcyon had twin 40's, the...

What you've already read about the Tolands is correct. Allegiance is a form of respect and overall, most of the brats respect the Toland family influence. But you also said "guys" and I have to add my respect for oldgrowth Dave who partnered with Toland to create the Maraunaut. Prior to the...

I think you mean the Bay Bridge, Dave. The Golden Gate bridge is not scheduled for replacement. I saw a similar news story and remember my electronics training was on Yerba Buena island near the west end of the bridge. Found it hilarious that a major delay was cause by the Navy's reluctance...

Leave it to a marine to know where fully aged bullshit can be found. I'm surprised Susan wanted to outsource it. Don

Just don't sniff MEK. Otherwise the biggest mistake is using too much in the mix. Use too much and it won't set either. In using hardeners, less is more. I rarely use more than a small drop or three in a hefty tablespoon of resin. Don

Awchit, Boris, neither have I. Age related misteak. Yah, that's it . . . I meant 5 pin flat not 7. You can even use a 5 pin trailer plug in a 4 pin tow vehicle socket and everything will work except the brake lockout/backup light circuit. Good for emergency tows and no need to back up a hill...

The problem with 7 wire cable is that you don't need all 7 wires from the front of the trailer all the way to the rear. A second irritation is that a conventional boat trailer use a 7 wire flat plug whereas most trucks are fitted with 7 wire round sockets so an adapter is necessary. If I were...

You can get away with a short section of 7 way and do the rest with wire looms since the 7th wire is the backup light and is usually used just to open a solenoid on your brake cylinder when you're backing up. Yah it does mean splices up near the braking assembly but that's only a serious...

Dunno about Bill, but I use (and love) Roboform, Charlie. Cheap and all I have to remember is one strong password, which for me is a mixture of numbers, letters, and symbols. Yah it was hard to memorize, but it's made life much easier. For Internet purchases from even slightly suspected...

Ya know what? I use both public and private wireless connections to do everything. Banking, stock investments, portfolio management, bill pay and I buy online using my credit cards. Of course I use well known https sites and before I logon to a public WiFi site to connect with them, I notify...

A blonde finds herself in serious trouble. Her business has gone bust and she's in dire financial straits. She's desperate, so she decides to ask God for help. She begins to pray. "God, please help me. I've lost my business and if I Don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well...

For some weird reason I thought you were traveling north. I can understand Dotty's terror in not just a few spots along that route. We towed a 29 ft. 5th wheel up that route and when Mary yelled about "I gotta close my eyes", I answered "me too" and then she REALLY got shook up. Welcome to...

I hate to say it but Guy Fieri has featured a few spots here in San Diego and after trying his Blue Water Seafood Market and Grill, we decided to take his recommendations with a grain of salt. Yelp gives it a 4 star, but we must have been there on an off day because it was crowded and the food...

Joe, Loran C transmits at 100khz. That's about 450 khz below the lowest AM radio frequency and who listens to AM anyway? I seriously doubt the antenna is "tuned" much but if you really wanted to find out, there are ways to find the resonant frequency of the antenna - and that might determine if...
