    Tackle boxes

    I understand. :) But, we'll be fishing the flats and I like to toss lures. Never have been much of a live bait kinda guy. My wife, on the other hand, loves using live or cut baits. Then again, if I don't stop wrecking my shoulder (like I did again this afternoon), I may never be able to...

    Tackle boxes

    I picked up a couple of soft sided items 2 days ago. A small bag and a larger tackle tote. Experimented this afternoon and the small is too small and the large is too large. Guess I need a medium? :unsure: :LOL: Once I find a size that works for me, I'll relegate that giant old blue box...

    Cutting cable TV

    Okay, I just switched back to Spectrum. I got their Double Play Select package which includes 125 channels plus internet. They also threw in a DVR as well. Total price comes up to the same as what I had with just SlingTV and internet, which is $125/month. Bottom line - I cut my...

    Tackle boxes

    This morning I went to Walmart to buy tackle boxes and fishing gear for my family. I bought a couple of medium sized tackle bags (with 2 plastic boxes each) for my wife and the boy. They'll be for bass fishing. They already have smaller boxes for panfishing. I really got to thinking about...

    Tackle boxes

    This is my current box and it's just too big. I think I got it back in 1985. I may end up downsizing, getting a smaller storage setup and trying not carrying everything under the sun with me. 🙄

    Tackle boxes

    Yeah, I hear ya about piles of stuff. When I had my Bass Tracker Tournament TX-17 several decades ago, I'd have 3 or 4 good sized boxes with me. Plus at least 4 rods, each rigged differently. And I fished alone, so there never was a space issue. Nowadays, it's me, my wife and "the boy" in...

    Rebuilding 1985 mercury carburetors

    Yeah, those stators are pricey. I just spent $150 for a new one a couple months ago. 😒

    Cutting cable TV

    Well, I just learned that although the Hulu Enhanced DVR does allow pausing and buffering live TV, it doesn't allow fast forwarding through commercials on buffered live TV. :unsure: :cautious:

    Cutting cable TV

    Yes, it allows FFWD & RWD during commercials. It also allows pausing live TV, which is something that I really missed with SlingTV.

    Cutting cable TV

    I made a boo-boo. Recorded the news this evening on Hulu and while watching I tried to fast forward through the commercials. No joy. I figured it out quickly enough. I'd selected the Expanded DVR option at sign-up but failed to hit the "Submit" button. D'oh! 😏 I've added it now and will...

    Tackle boxes

    Hey, thanks for that info. I'd not considered the boxes getting wet. Mind you, when we're out fishing, the boxes typically don't get splashed and we don't fish in the rain. But it is something to consider. :unsure: Like the time 30 years ago when I accidentally kicked an open hip-roof type...

    Cutting cable TV

    Yeah, me too. I now have the Hulu DVR set up to record The Simpsons and my biz show. Guess I'll be testing that out tomorrow.

    And it begins. 😐

    Cutting cable TV

    Quite frankly, if I could find a way to keep the business show that I watch and then cut all the way back to basic Hulu or some other setup, I'd be doing that very thing. Alas, that just isn't possible yet. :( And even then I still wouldn't have a DVR. :cautious:

    Cutting cable TV

    I signed up for Hulu Live+ which is currently $55/mo but will be going up to $65/mo on Dec 18th. I also added another $15 for enhanced DVR. And my Spectrum internet is $75/mo. That'd put me at $155 plus taxes and bottle deposits. :ROFLMAO: But, I won't stay at that level. I'll keep looking...

    Tackle boxes

    My "new" tackle box (less than 5 years old) broke badly enough a month ago that I ended up trashing it and pulled out my old standby, which I've owned for something like 35 years. Both boxes are general purpose types and are large, although the old one is huge compared to the newer one. The...

    Cutting cable TV

    Okay guys, I just dumped SlingTV and closed my account. The service just sucks. The DVR kept getting "lost" during playback. It would skip around, repeat itself, insert extra commercials and the FF/REV function was sporadic at best. And the Guide was terrible. However, I'll really miss all...

    Connecting a 2nd gas tank to a Mercury 40hp 4 stroke

    You swap at the tank, not at the engine. All it takes is a quick disconnect setup. See "D" and "E" in the pic below. I have this same setup and it only takes a couple of seconds to change tanks.

    Time for a new laptop.

    Oh yeah, I also got my truck back on the road! New tires, shine job, etc. 😁 Check out those reflections. :cool:

    Time for a new laptop.

    Well guys, I thought I'd give y'all an update. The $50 hard drive with Windows 10 preinstalled that I bought didn't have a key, but I knew that at the time of purchase. I figured that I could use one of the 3 legit keys that I already had from the two prior hard drives and the case of the Dell...
