    rodent infestation

    Yeah but its much easier to load rock salt into a 12 bore shell and the shot cup protects the bore and the cats make way more noise than the gun 😁

    Mystery bolt found in bilge

    That bolt ain't worn thin ....its stretched to death . Check the thread pitch where the bolt is thin and you can see the difference . Hopefully someone actually replaced the bolt and maybe either dropped or threw the bolt into the bilge .😁

    I'm sad, need new gps

    Sorry , I didnt make myself clear 😁 I meant that I wanted the striker to plot and then follow tracks along the deeper chanels using the quick draw ,so I can sneak about in the dark without worrying about running out of water at lower tides. Looking for Flounders is actually hanging over the...

    Ask any Ducati mechanic how to set the closing rocker ( desmodromic valve actuation )clearance ,0 clearance is Found by rotating the valve stem or closing shim . You can do it with dti's and feeler gauges but it takes 10 times as long and is no better . In fairness there is a required "knack" .😁
