  1. It stopped snowing here in Gravi. I'm gonna say 4" is all we got. Fluffy powdery stuff. I cleaned off the vehicles, boats, deck, and made a path to the shop and mailbox with my leaf blower. Piece of cake. šŸ‘
  2. Oh boy, thanks for bringing back THOSE memories. šŸ˜‚ When my daughter couldn't see the centerline she homed in on mailboxes on the right. "Ok listen..... Let's SLOW DOWN, and stay BETWEEN the mailboxes". She actually said, "But if I go slow it takes longer to steer". 🄓
  3. Welcome to my world. You're a certified Mercury technician today. Congratulations šŸ‘
  4. How do you measure a snowfall when it snows sideways and drifts all over the place? Measure it all and figure an average ? I have 8" on the patio table and the vehicles, 4" on the deck, 3" on the rails, 4" in the middle of the driveway. And it's still coming down pretty heavily.
  5. Typical woman. Always gotta short ya by 2". šŸ™„
  6. Get the air purged out of that steering system on your Gambler before it happens to YOU !!!!
  7. Speaking of foul weather, did you hear that the groundhog died ? Can't decide if that's a good sign, or the worst possible sign. šŸ¤”
  8. In Feb. 1995 I stood in the kitchen of my lakefront home and watched as one dock after another either flipped upside down from the snow loading up on one side of the roof, or just collapsed into a pile of twisted metal, boats, and PWC's. My old wooden/blue foam POS dock squatted, popped, and groaned.....but she never did go down. šŸ˜šŸ‘ We got 15" in 36 hours during that snowpocolypse.
  9. I let off the throttle and the boat bow hooked somewhere in the neighborhood of 68-72mph and ejected me into 42° water. The prop had too much lift.
  10. The closest I've ever come to being killed in a boat was caused from me "looking for that perfect prop". I don't play that game anymore. Top end RPM is within range? Check. Holeshot is acceptable when the boat is loaded? Check. Good! I'm done. Another perfect job. šŸ‘
  11. Psycho witch. I'm guessing that she had some dirt on those boys, and the only way they could keep her quiet was to let her do whatever she wanted.
  12. Wap bop a lou Bop alop bam Boo !
  13. Have you heard Bill Burr's telling of the story when Chuck Berry and John Lennon jammed together ?
  14. Yeah we saw them Saturday. They certainly aren't afraid of anybody. Two of them were fighting over what looked to be a dirty diaper. Reminded me of that very crude joke about the two vampires fighting over a tampon. 🤣
  15. Welcome to the team, brother. 🤘 😁
  16. Not as often as you probably think. I know for a fact that who owns what, and where property lines are around HERE is almost always a nightmarish ordeal. I can only imagine what it's like out the middle of nowhere 200 yards from the nearest road on some heavily wooded mediocre sized stream.
  17. The tow guy doesn't even hook up to it. And even if he did.....where is he towing it to ?
  18. What kinda tickets? Parking tickets? šŸ˜‚
  19. Jus'sayin. Someone can't just call the law because they saw you get in a car and drive off.....and then claim that you stole it from them, UNLESS the car is legally registered to them.
  20. If you were to take a trespassing charge to court, there's a fairly decent chance that nobody would show proof of ownership. I don't think you can be fined or otherwise punished for trespassing, if it can't be proven WHOSE PROPERTY you were allegedly trespassing on. Much of the land within the path of semi-frequent floods is not deeded, likely has decades worth of back taxes owed on it, and was probably assumed by adverse possession in the first place. Therefore the county/state has no true authority to claim that you are breaking the law by merely being there.
  21. They already have one. They just need to kick all the grown-ups out of it. šŸ™„
  22. Absolutely šŸ‘ Spend that jerkbait and fluorocarbon money however ya want. šŸ˜‰
  23. They need to allow a few of us air gunners to thin out the black buzzards before they add a fish cleaning station at Bennett. You ever seen those dudes fighting over a piece of fish skin or a head? It's pretty nasty...... squawking, pooping, and ejecto-puking all over the place. It's like Friday night at a biker bar.
  24. Wow, that's an expensive picnic table. šŸ™„
