As a tender motor it was fantastic. Quiet, good battery life, and enough power to anchor out and slow motor 4 plus dog for brews and chews. Haven’t fished it yet but at trolling speed it should last several miles and hours. I’m guessing top end is around 7 kts, so it’s not a speed boat. But it...

In the Fall I installed some Beachmaster launching wheels (fold up and/or removable for roll up storage) on the back of my Achilles dingy. We sold our big boat last year but still have the 10’8” Achilles with a Torqueedo motor. Also rigged up a slick battery powered air pump, in a carry tote...

Never met Tim personally but I’ve enjoyed his posts here for years. Condolences to his family and his buddies here. RIP good man.

Dad must have a new fangled chest mounted rod holder since he’s apparently holding an oar in right hand and scratching something with left. That’s a wide body fly reel I’ve never seen before.

Can you spot the discrepancy? OK then, I’ll start. They appear to be trolling forward into their lines.

It’s called patina, and if it was an original old Cheby (or similar) you might be ruining it. Subtle flavors from past sacrifices are coming through.

Smoking on a Weber isn’t very difficult, by reducing top vent and playing with the bottom vent. One tip from the experts I found was inserting a candy thermometer in one of the top 3 vent holes. More accurate than the built in thermometer (which fairly often stops working). It does require some...

I too am a knife guy all my life. Have a basket full. Many Case, Saks, Benchmades and a couple Spydercos. Recently I’ve turned back to SAKs though, particularly the 91mms. I have a dozen or so models, including 84mms and 93mms, but the Spartan is my favorite edc. The small blade is useful and...

Yes, all of us oldsters should embrace some level of exercise or stretching and balance routines. I hope to be active deep into my 80s and hope an hour, 3 to 4 days a week, is enough. Good luck. Back to regular programming…

Wait wait, I may be all in. The minor inconvenience has to help, right? Not like I’m sitting in front of FlyBill. Maybe it helps the baggy eyes, a deal breaker cruising chicks at Greenlake. Or, I catch a couple more fich.

The eye is eary.

70 Gremlin was my first car. Rode it pretty hard with many “adventures” and it never gave up, and with zero costly repairs. I’ve heard all the jokes but have no complaints. Bravo AMC. Interesting Pacer fact: the passenger door was bigger for loading parcels.

Strong case for stupid.

Cluck is the new quack.

PM sent on a framing topic.

Oh good. Another shop stop on the Oregon coast. Thanks for checking in, and welcome.

Fast enough, but long for a nightmare.

So, since I’m currently obsessed with poppers. What is the downside of: 1. Using whipped cream cheese. 2. Mixing pre-cooked crumbled bacon into filling instead of topping. (Or shrimp, w/ bacon top.) 3. Serving 1 or 2 in paper cups with sweet chili sauce. Open to ideas. I found a 10” trivet...

Ditto the Weber Go Anywhere GG. Mine doesn’t see a lot of use, but it’s hard to beat if I plan on Q’ing some meat in camp. I carefully applied Duct tape to the box seams so it would last as new. A credible grill.
