Water down about 10 feet. Rainy weather has returned. Just not sure it will be enough to stop the power generation, heat and evaporation from zapping the Lake. COE has been good about trying to hold it steady to 10 or 11 feet down. Now comes their real test when the heat sets in. We need a LOT...
Whenever possible, I brush my teeth with Fluoride toothpaste 2 or 3 times a day. No cavities since I have gotten older. You're not supposed to swallow the paste but lots of chemicals enter your blood stream through your tongue. What is a good alternative to Fluoride out there? In our water...
Soon as La Nina cranks up the rain goes away. You can count on in. The Lakes soon follow suit. Our Lake has been steadily dropping since July. The COE did a good job of keeping it usable for all of the Summer. Extreme heat, wind and no rain for much of the Summer. We had part one of the drought...
Are these "Scientist " insane or what? Hard to believe I have to pay for this bs tv show. Turns out UFOs came here a long time ago and trained humans to build useless buildings that withstand earthquakes. UFOs let humans borrow high tech equipment to carve stuff on rocks and out of rocks. Then...
Solar regulations have made it hard for SC citizens and businesses to supplement our electrical needs until now that is. Things have change to make it feasible to get Solar panels etc and get rebates from the power company. All this delay because Utility companies did NOT want the competition...
2 months left before Boating season around here. Sometimes it warms up in early March enough to go boating. January has to be the worst month. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel in February. All you can see in January is February. Cold in the SE. Only a high of 30 tomorrow. I would...
I debate this with myself every Spring. I have around 5 gallons left in a external fiberglass 12 gallon tank. I add little Star tron every time I put fuel in the tank during the Summer. 2 cycle mix. I leave the pressure valve a little open during the winter so fuel doesn't find another way out...
I have seen recent Polls out that talk about how many Americans are unhappy with their lives. I am happy with one side of my life--boating and personal. But I really anxious about the financial side. Anxiety has been building for a good many years now. I can forget about it for awhile when I am...
make a difference in Pontoon speed? I had 2 6 gallon tanks under the seat. I took those out and put a 12 gallon tank on the outside beside the outboard. 12 gallons equaling approx 72lbs. Seems that this new location has drastically slowed down the top speed of the Pontoon. When someone moves...
I haven't had any problems in a long time. 1990 3.0 Mercruiser I/O 4 cylinder. So were were riding along and I notice the gauge go from 14 volts to 12 volts. So we go back to the dock and I see the blue wire to the alternator has snapped. I repaired the black or brown wire a couple of years ago...
I can't remember the time it rained on the 4th of July. But here it is streaming up from the Gulf all day. I have seen some trying to boat between downpours. The day isn't over but it doesn't look promising. I don't think I have missed boating on this day except for low water level one year...
A couple of years ago my 1993 Godfrey Pontoon submarined a bit and broke loose a grey running light wire. So I hooked the three wires back together and the lights started working again. Toward the end of last year it subbed and broke loose the black wires. No lights again. So I go out today and...
Had this Pontoon boat a few years. Yamaha 40 2 cycle. No trolling motor --yet. Stereo/CD player/fish finder/GPS. Came with 2 batteries. I unhook the GPS system after using. The FF is built in
No way to switch between batteries. Big black cables connect positive to positive and negative to...
I have eaten Oatmeal off and on for a long time. I have read where the Old Fashion brand is the best(Micro 1 cup per day). I have stopped eating it at times because it makes my muscles feel weak. I think it has an effect on your testosterone and Insulin levels. That may be the problem. Could be...
I had the big V a few years ago. Nothing really painful about the procedure. The recovery is a bit more painful but not unbearable. Not expensive. The stress/anxiety of thinking about it before the procedure was a problem. Makes you wonder why men with a lot to loose ie paternity suites, don't...
