    Windows 11 yes/no?

    I run a Windows partition on my Mac for some CAD software I work with: I will hold off upgrading for a while simply for stability sake. Windows 10 seems to run fine, so why upset that apple cart? I actually do the same with the MacOs. I was a later adopter of Big Sur and haven't upgraded to...

    1993 hydro sport info

    Nothing wrong with them as a brand. They're not necessarily a high end boat, but they do fine. A '93 with reworked floors I would be very careful when looking at. Most people who re-do the deck, don't do a thorough job. Condition is the most important thing in used boats. There's a good...

    Lost our best fishing buddy

    Sorry to hear of the loss of your pal. Still miss a couple of mine. They can be great friends.

    deer meat question

    I like venison most any way I've ever had it. But I really think it makes certain "sauce" type dishes taste better. Chili; as an example.

    New pistol for carry

    With the right skipper, even a dinghy can make it across the ocean. Even a .22 can make a decent carry gun for the guy who knows how to shoot.

    I find that I'm not really into the idea of too much technical diving - I'm not going into caves, or wrecks unless there's some type of tour system like Bonne Terre. If I'm reading right most of those springs have caves, but they're not the main diving thrust of the spot. I don't think I have...

    I definitely will do Bonne Terre in the next couple of years. I have a good friend who is considering getting certified and is a spelunker. I've explored a couple of cave systems here in Middle Tennessee with him, so I thought it'd be cool to do that one with him. The Georgia Aquarium is...

    1970 River Queen Houseboat new owner here!

    LOL ... it was a backhanded encouragement. Your project is a little nuts: but I met a couple of guys recently who had bought project boats for cheap, and were living on them while rehabbing them. One guy bought his for less than $8k. It's a lot of work, but if you're up for the challenge then...

    @achris This is what I've been reading about and talking with guys in Michigan about: https://thunderbay.noaa.gov/visit/ - my family's cottage is about an hour drive away from Alpena, MI so this is an easy area for me to get to. Apparently, there are some surprisingly nice dives in the area...

    4 hours of Bottom Time!

    So, funny but just the opposite really: I've been diving fresh water for the past 18 months or so. Generally load 12lbs in the BC and sink like a brick. In salt, I had been diving with about 16lbs, but as it turns out between my losing some weight (despite the boat photo above) and having...

    1970 River Queen Houseboat new owner here!

    Congrats Beth. You're nuts, but it's a boatin' kind of nuts. You've got a lot of work ahead of you, but I hope you get the project done and enjoy the boat. In the meantime, ask away and we'll help point you in the directions you need ... which looks like a lot 🙃

    4 hours of Bottom Time!

    Most of 2021 I was doing pretty simple dives in the lakes here in Middle Tennessee. It was basically analogous to tripping face first into a mud puddle - but I did practice all kinds of training stuff that I probably wouldn't otherwise. I did a couple simple dives up in Michigan on the lake my...

    ^^^ it's on the list! Right now I have more travel to do than I'll ever manage. But if the time comes, I'll be sure to let you know. Heck, maybe the chance to meet somewhere in the middle will pop up too!

    I'm the hippo on the left playing the bagpipe. I decided against carrying a camera with me diving for a while. I've spent so much of my life staring through a viewfinder that I missed a lot of the larger world around me. So, for the time being I'm not shooting many photos ... just kinda'...

    4 hours of Bottom Time!

    I had a chance to sneak away with the Admiral for a few days this past weekend and run down to the Florida Keys. We spent a few days there, and on two of them I finally managed to get some scuba diving in on a natural coral reef. Over two days, I managed to get four dives in totaling about 4...

    If it's just one website, I'm with Dingbat. It's on their end. You can try a different browser to see if you get the same issue. So far, it doesn't sound like your computer.
