    Bearing buddy issues

    While it can’t hurt, I think you’re confusing bearing buddies with EZ -lube hubs. I see no mention of spinning hubs in BB instructions. https://www.bearingbuddy.com/how-bb-works

    Bourbon, surprised!

    Read an article the other day that said the drop is due to the younger generations moving away from alcohol (health reasons) and the proliferation of THC based drinks. THC drinks are new to me....had to google them https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&channel=entpr&q=cannibi+drinks

    Lowrance Fuel Flow issue/questions

    Assume you configured/assigned the sensors in the device list. Are the flow sensors powered from a common source or separately?

    Guessing it’s better to run over than to get breached upon.

    Perpetual Debt

    I borrowed my $3,500 (5%) down payment from my then girlfriend’s parents. Interest rates were at 12% at the time. Left me with a $812 and change mortgage plus a $120 a month loan payment. You can do the math…a whole lot of money for a single parent making $8 an hour at the time.

    Perpetual Debt

    Wouldn't count on a sizeable home market crash Even in the foreclosure crash of 2008, values dipped 7.5% for a year before rebounding. That makes your $500K home $472K My daughter and her husband bought their first home in the fall of 2023 for $635,000. The neighbor across the street recently...

    There should be no pressure on the bra. If you’re popping the bra, the bra is sun damaged and needs replaced or the o-ring on the piston assembly is compromised. A missing grease fitting would cause the problem as well

    Perpetual Debt

    Bought my first house (townhouse) with a down payment borrowed from my future In-laws at age 24. Had to drive an hour each way to work, but that is as close as I could afford. Got a room mate and ate lots of boxed macaroni and cheese dinner until I paid off my future in-laws 3 years later.

    Rant: Can't catch a break with weekend weather...

    You wouldn't make a very good Striper fisherman or Duck/Goose hunter. Prime fishing in our area is Thanksgiving through New Years. Then C&R Trophy Hunting through the end of April. Cold hands and feet, maneuvering frozen decks doing the "Chesapeake Waltz" and clearing icicles from rods tips...

    We’re still a little more diversified…lol Still have money, accounts and stocks spread all over the place. Meeting with our financial advisor this week to see if it makes sense to start consolidating for retirement. Always took dealer financing for the discount then transferred the loan over...

    What boating skill would you upgrade to prevent slipping on an icy deck while netting a fish and falling overboard? Damn near happened to me twice. Reason I installed a wireless kill switch several years ago. In reality, $hit happens….people slip and fall from icy decks and docks. Boats take...

    Perpetual Debt

    I’ll go against the grain and say I’m a firm believer in not paying cash for anything if I have an option. Guessing it’s my business background but cash flow (liquid assets) are more far more important than my bank balance.
