    Need help catching thief/saboteur

    I now deal with a sister-in-law with cancer. She lives in a R/V park with lots of pine and live oaks around. She chooses to stay there. Someone has been entering her rv looking for her pain meds(now locked in a box). She also locks her rv, now. I couldn't believe she left it unlocked for so...

    adding troling motor to 'row only' jon

    Pretty sure I know the answer but thought I'd ask anyway. Wife bought me a troling motor with an anode at the bottom of the shaft. A nice little 10hp Evenrude would have been better, but I'll take it. I row a very simple, bare bones jon boat in salt water....other than battery nav lights...

    Local Vonunteer Fire Dept.

    The Florosa Fire District's annual 'Santa Run" just went by. Handing out candy canes. My son is driving. 20 years ago we caught him, numerous times, building little fires and putting them out with his toy fire trucks on the side of the house. We knew he would become an arsonist or a fireman...

    Florida weather

    25 degrees F this morning. I'm about 1 mile north of the gulf. This is Florida, in November, for crying out loud! This isn't supposed to happen untill January, or February. People think "Florida, grunt, warm" but this is Northwest Florida. The 'other' Florida. More like southern Alabama, really...

    Linux and Adobe

    Since Adobe has abandoned Linux users, I'm wondering what folks are using as a replacement? Gnash? Lightspark? Another I'm not aware of? Pros and cons?

    1952 Johnson 5 horse TN-28 mechanical rebuild

    Well, 200 bucks WAS too much but it is what it is, and I'm only 1 year older than the motor. I don't know...I think I feel a connection. Found water in the gear oil. Most oil loss, if not all, is comming from the lower end gaskets. Seems to be oil free below the prop. But what are the chances...

    new toys

    One of these guys could have been my Father.

    Missouri (left) transfers personnel to Iowa in advance of the surrender ceremony planned for 2 September 1945. Yeah, picture didn't go through. It would have been like "where's waldo" anyway.

    British seagull

    I know some of you guys collect outboards. There's a Seagull on Pensacola's craigslist. I may have the engine and serial numbers this evening or tomorrow. Appears in good shape(pictures). I don't collect, myself.....otherwise I'd make the trip to look at it. Just thought someone might be...

    1971 evinrude 9.6 cowling

    I've found a motor(see subject line) almost free. Does not have the cowling, ie. cover. I've looked at 'marineengine', 'boats.net', and craigslist and found plenty of parts for a rebuild but no cowling. I see no sense in rebuilding this motor without the cover. Where else might I find it...
