Grrrr, just venting. I have a water leak in my main "all the hvac crap goes here" room. I first found a pin hole leak in a 1/8" copper line going to my ice maker. I fixed that and thought I had too much water on the floor from it. I dried out the floor and it stayed dry for a day. This...

Looking at relocating to this area. How is the fishing for us small boaters? What options are available? Can a 16' tin get out into Charleston bay?

So I took a late trip this fall to Mille Lacs. I decided to pick up a spare tire 1/2 way on the trip because I new a place - Milaca unclaimed freight - had a acceptable price and one of my tires was already pretty well worn down. So I have a brand new never used spare. I am planning to...

I have always liked the way my trailer has performed. I never considered switching from rollers to bunks until now. I had a leaking rivet on both sides of my boat. Same rivet on both sides. I had always considered it was a goofy flex point in the boat. Here is the rivet after repair...

So, I wanted to make sure I wouldn't need to do anything more then just go pick up my A/B foam and I did a quick check of the site I plan to pick it up at. Then I stumbled on this: https://www.duratec1.com/dpstyrosafelaminatingresin.html A pre-accelerated, orthophtalic, unsaturated polyester...

If you followed my conversation with Bubba in his new rod thread you will notice I have been looking at options for a new rod/reel. Well a few circumstances forced me to buy a setup. First, the Rod. Last weekend when we were on the way back from fishing we passed a combo building with a pawn...

Here is a brief example of how to do rivets. I am sure others have much better methods but this is what I use. Use it as an example of how to figure out your own technique. I use solid aluminum rivets that are either Flat Head or Pan Head. Flat Head Pan Head Any of the round headed...

Looks like its going to be getting down to the final weeks. Next week might be the end of the season. We went out and it was overcast and 52*. I was throwing various items and my buddy was throwing a blue lure. He landed a fish and had two follows. I wasn't getting any action so I switched...

I carpool with my wife and today she needed to attend a meeting that was going to have me sitting around for an hour tonight waiting on her. I have been having fits with one of my baitcasters and I took it apart last night to clean and lube. I wanted to test it before this weekend and decided...

She likes to sit on the front steps and watch the world go by. Unless its too cold to go outside. Or too hot to stay awake.

The season is going to be coming to an end in another month or two and I will be redoing my rig this winter. I decided to get started with the thread so that I don't end up months behind on the updates and never get around to them. The boat is a 'Northwood' 16' V. All of the research I have...

I am planning to get started with a complete redo out my boat this winter after the Musky/Pike season dies down. At this point I am collecting pieces needed for when I start gutting the boat. The first thing I plan to do is paint the motor. I figure I will need to winterize it, and have it off...
