    I am perplexed...

    As many know, I had to replace a broken spring in my wife's subaru a while back, now I have torn it apart and trying to do both new springs and figured I would do struts at the same time.

    Awe ha! Pack rat season has started!

    Once again, the little buggers think they are going to take up residence in my shop! Well we once again started on our quest again last night when one ran out from under my roll around and set down and stared at me for a moment. So I grabbed the trap, baited with a bit of American cheese I...

Basically all that was left was...

    I have not seen this before, what is it?

    I suspect this is something to activate an old speedo on a boat, but I have never seen it before. Ideas, I am going to take it off because speedo's on a boat don't mean anything to me

    Decided to leave my SS with no paint...

    When I bought this boat over Memorial day weekend, I was a bit confused because the hull was all aluminum with no paint and no Starcraft badges on the outside of the hull. I did find out what the original color was on the boat by some left over paint on the bottom of the hull. It was avocado...

    Public Service Announcement, Don't buy..

    Well I purchased a new fuel tank here locally at Wally World, well known brand, but I would recommend, until the company that makes it addresses some issues on it, don't purchase one. It is called a Scepter Neptune brand and it is a piece of junk, it leaks, you can't install the fuel fitting...

    Prop questions.

It is a 16 foot Starcraft Super Sport I picked up a couple of weeks ago, it has a 1973 50 HP Lark on it, good running motor, but was noticing it has a small chunk out of one of the blades and a crack in another one. I am...
