    Wheel studs making me crazy!!!!

    I can't find the flippin' wheel studs that are common to my trailers :confused: This is weird to me because in the beginning of my career I was a parts guy and I can usually find anything. I can find 2" x 20 that are close but the ones I have are 1 3/4 and the wheel side of the stud is...

    Port or Starboard? All messed up now.

    This is kind of a fun puzzle. We have all engaged in the typical Port/Starboard discussion, but I think I have a new twist that I don't recall ever seeing discussed . . . There is a tiny three car Ferry here in Newport Beach, CA between Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Island (1/4 mile). The family...

    Biggest (and longest) deal of my career . . .

    I have been working for the last 9 years to secure an additional Truck OEM for our product. We had Caterpillar previously, but our partnership with them ended in 2005. Then the search for a new partner became Job 1 at the company. I had my first meeting with these guys in October 2007, and we...

    Will Windows upgrade remove a virus?

    Scenario: I got a Dell laptop given to me from a friend who has given up due to tons of Spyware, Malware and possibly viruses. It was a kids computer and he downloaded stupid stuff. I can start it up and I have run the Diagnostics utility and tests and the computer itself seems fine. I can...

    Boneless Leg O' Lamb - Rotisserie

    OK, I am doing two 3 lb. boneless legs of lamb on my BBQ's rotisserie for T-Giving. I use it quite a bit, but I am struggling with a cooking time issue that I don't understand and am probably over thinking. I have read 30 minutes per pound. Here is my issue. If I put these end to end and the...

    Tragic Safety Reminder

    I thought a while about posting this one. We get plenty of these, but this one has something that should be especially sobering to all of us who think we are too good, or too smart or too experienced to have anything happen to us . . . Despite the irony, I think I do know how this happened...

    Craig's List question

    I am listing a pick-up for my BIL. He lives in Lake Havasu, AZ, I live in SoCal. I want to list it in both places to get more exposure. Also, I literally live at the intersection of four counties, so when I list something for myself there are about three Craig's "lists" that make sense for me...

    Sucky boating week . . .

    This is long . . . Well I have had a good run of boating luck, and although most of my issues this week were not necessarily boating, they were all part of a trip. My oldest son had a Lake Mead houseboat trip planned and we were to meet him out on the lake. Started out with needing trailer...

    What's this small hub stuff? Some sort of OB only type barrel? I have one: 48-16994-24 and was thinking of running on my Bravo, but I hear it will suck. Now I wonder if it would fit at all. Boat's not here . . . ??? Has a solid style hub and cast in castle nut i.e. no Flow Torq.

    Lake Mead Water Level - Obstacles

    I saw a post in the Channel Marker thread from rjlipscomb about concern for underwater obstacles at Lake Mead. Some of you may have seen various posts of mine on this topic. In general I think people are way too worried at Mead due to significantly lower water levels in the last 5 or 6 years...
