    Union dues and fees

    Recently at work, we were forced to start paying "agency fees" to a union if we didn't become full fledged union members....anybody know if these fees are tax deductible, either Fed or State (CA)?

    Eminent Domain

    Don't have any first hand experience, but I do have a friend who's parents went through it....State (California) built a new four-lane highway and it was going to pass directly through their property. This was about 7-8 years ago....State made them a direct offer, basically "market value" as...

    25hp Johnson won't idle and fouls plugs

    If the engine has been sitting for an extended period, could need to have the varnish and garbage cleaned out of the carburetor....old spark plugs...wrong mixture (the tag on my 25 Johnny says run 100:1, so take that as you will)....

    Title(s) for Motor(s)???

    You mean to tell me that California actually knows about a tax or fee and they're not collecting it too? Yet :LOL22:

    Remember this car?

    I happen to know Mike Boyd a little bit....and yes the "Wing" is a bad *** ride..... ps; I was in the back of a pick-up going down the return road at Famoso a few years ago when Mike and the Wing went *** over teakettle at the March Meet....we were one of the first ones on the scene as he...

    Oakleys

    I've been wearing Ray Bans for 20+ years....awesome polarized lenses and **** durable...buy the Italian made ones, not the Chinese ones (yes, they sell both and yes, there is a difference). They typically run about $160 a pair and Ray Ban has a repair/replacement program as well....

    Ensenada, BC, Mexico

    Family, friends and I went to Ensenada, BC, Mexico last week for vacation....took my 14'er down to fish around the Punta Banda area, south of Ensenada. Fished 5 of the 7 days we were there and caught upwards of 150 fish, with most released. We did keep a mixture of about a dozen sand bass...

    Too much oil?

    and also....I know it's been up here before on the mixture ratio thing, but my Johnson has a sticker right by the fuel inlet that says 100:1....I've run the mixture at that since I got it and have had zero problems....smokes just a little when cold, then clears right up and starts first pull...

    1985 Johnson outboard (25hp) water pump ?

    So, this week, I tackled changing the water pump in my old-ish Johnny...with the help of the internet and West Marine, I was able to get it all apart and change the pump with no real issues arising (changed the whole thing, impeller, housing, seals, etc, because I don't know when the last time...

    salt water??

    I take my 14' tinny to San Diego Bay all the time...got an old 25hp Johnson and a saltwater TM....none of them have EVER given me a problem due to the saltwater. I pull it through a coin-op car wash after every trip and spend 20-30 minutes washing everything off, but other than that, nothing...

    Can it ever be too hot to fish?

    Here in my little corner of the world, the average daytime temp during the summer is 110-115 degrees (Southeastern CA desert)....I catch most of my fish during the summer months...I question my sanity when I'm out fishing in those conditions, but that's another issue... :LOL2:

    Tongue Length

    Fencing companies.....Steel supply store....Farm or Ag service company....Welding shops....Online (though the shipping is usually a deal killer with that).....shoot, Home Depot or Lowe's can order it.... if you have internet access at your house, I guarantee there's someplace to buy steel in...

    I like rice

    Peeing on your feet (while in the shower :wink: ) DOES help control and get rid of athletes foot....yes, it may be kinda gross...but it does work (don't ask me how I know this).... and yes, peeing on jellyfish stings works to quell the rash too....no personal experience, but lots of saltwater...
