    Back on the water, catching fish

    Finally got the bugs out of our Starcraft Kingfisher and went fishing this morning. 🎣 My wife and the boy caught bluegill and I hooked a couple small bass which came off at the boat. My shoulders have been killing me for well over a month and I simply couldn't get a proper hookset. 😖 But...

    I need a small in-dash tachometer

    I've been seriously thrashing the web for a 2" diameter tach which can mount in my dash and work with a 2-stroke motor. So far, no joy. I've found a few automotive tachs which would fit, but can't handle 2-stroke engines. There is very limited space on the dash for the tach. I suppose I...

    Time for a new laptop.

    I typically “jump in” to learn about recent tech when I need it, then I buy it and get back out. I generally don't stay up to date. Such is the case now. :cool: I prefer Windows. My current laptop is a Dell e6500 running Windows 7, which was built in 2008 and which I purchased used 3 years...

    I need a timing light

    I've been beating my brains in trying to find a suitable timing light for my 2-stroke outboard engines. :grumpy: I'd ordered one which took over a week to arrive. Got it out of the box and it was defective. Sent it back. Did more research and ordered a different one from a different vendor...

    I need a part number for a neutral safety switch remote control (1985 Merc 50HP ELPT)

    1985 Mercury 50HP ELPT, 4 cylinder, 2-stroke. Power tilt & trim. I've searched for hours today and just can't find the part number for the neutral safety interlock. I'm sure that it's been used on a variety of engines but I want to be sure that I'll get the right one if needed. My remote is...

    How do I get this apart? (1985 50HP ELPT)

    I want to replace the bushings and spacers on my power trim cylinders. How do I get this done? I removed the outside bolt and the inside locknut but that's as far as I can go. I thought that I might be able to pry the stud out, but that didn't happen. How does it work? :confused: The end...

    Comet Neowise

    Anybody paying any attention to the comet? It won't be back for 6,800 years. I certainly won't be around then! :p My family and I finally got a look at it tonight. Skies were finally clear of clouds. It was very faint because of the hazy atmosphere here. But we finally made it out with...

    Contagion (2011 movie)

    My wife and I watched this movie a few days ago. It's really eerie how close it is to what's going on in the world with Covid-19 now. :cool:

    Insight spacecraft just landed on Mars

    I watched it live on the NASA channel. I was holding my breath just like the folks in the control room. Completely nerded out. Brings back big time memories for me. :nod: :D The first image from the lander on the ground has already been received...

    B.A.S.S. vs MLF

    I haven't been paying much attention to the bassin' world other than struggling to regain my old skills when I get a chance.:cool: I've been a Bassmaster for some 35 years and was surprised to learn of the major changes happening there when I read my November issue of B.A.S.S. Times. Turns out...

    A little rod repair action

    Went out to the garage this afternoon planning on sharpening hooks and doing some general tackle preparation for a fishing trip this evening. And found a problem. I've had this 6' 6" MH Shakespeare Ugly Stik for well over 30 years. Caught a bazillion fish with it over the years. And missed...
