    Is a Tiny Tach a good choice for testing?

    I've used the Tiny Tach with great success. Haven't tried the hand held photo types, but I'd think they'd be fine too, if you don't mind stopping whatever you're doing in order to take a measurement. One big advantage of the Tiny Tach is that once you set it up, you don't have to mess with it...

    Bluegill

    I just watched this a few minutes ago. It'd be great to catch whoppers like these! 😃

    Nobody fishing?

    Well, we've been fishing at our secret honey-hole pond almost every week since my prior posts. And we've met with success... and break offs. Frustrating! 😠 I hooked into another large bass a few weeks ago while using a Smithwick Devil's Horse. The fish hit the lure about 20' from me and I...

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Took this pic a few days ago in our front yard, using my phone, and through a window. :sneaky: The big girl was like: This is my stump! My stump! :LOL:

    Bluegill

    Bluegill really are darn fine eating! They're actually my wife's primary target when we fish. I posted this video 7 years ago and she still goes after the 'gills even just 2 days ago. The 11 bluegill in that little cooler weighed 8 pounds in total. Not bad and mighty tasty!

    Replacing old 2 stroke with newer 4 stroke advice?

    I'll clarify something I said earlier in Post #13. If I could afford a brand new boat, which was designed to handle the weight of a brand new 4-stroke outboard. I'd do that in a heartbeat. But, I can't. So, I'm stuck with rebuilding/restoring old boats with "ancient engines." To the best...

    Crazy sighting.

    Agreed. I worked in the space biz for several decades and "flew" some of those satellites. 📡 They've been over our country and around the planet since the late 1950s and early 1960s. Terrific stuff! 🛰️

    Mini Excavators

    It's a canine print of some kind. Not a cat. Need scale to estimate. Depending on where you are, it could be a wolf, a dog or a coyote. Got this from the internet. And I took these pix while scouting over a dozen years ago. Coyote track. Black bear track. Estimated size of 300 - 400...

    Replacing old 2 stroke with newer 4 stroke advice?

    Yup! I spoke with my Mercury mechanic and he told me that it simply wasn't cost effective to repair a 2005 150 4-stroke that he had at his shop because of lack of parts. So he scraps them when they come into the shop. Sad. 🙁 He calls my old 2-strokes "ancient" but I'll keep them for awhile...

    And we're home. All good. The hotel breakfast was disappointing. :sneaky:
