perhaps is a good time to invest in some goodyear stock? Nice looking ride.

This week, it is Red Stripe, as that is the only beer at the bar here at the resort in Jamaica. My every day go to beer is Miller Light, but I also frequently have Yeungling & PBR. Here lately, have have actually drank a few of the Michelob Ultra Amber's, the regular ultra is absolutely horrible stuff, but the amber, I like fairly well.

damn I am glad that I don't have to deal with such BS in my neighborhood. The HOA in our neighborhood is more of a cocktail club than a group of rule enforcers.

all is well, the bride pulled out of it and is back to 100%. The service went great, and the reception was absolutely perfect. Leaving out early in the morning for Jamaica for 7 days.

best boat in it's class on the market IMO. Not overly surprising given the current economic conditions, and the fact that their entire product line is top shelf material, and most buyers of this type of boat have plenty of used units they can pick up. Wish them and their employees well.

probably be a bit expensive to bring her along for the honeymoon though.

I would look hard at a 3/4 ton suburban, or even avalanche. Though the GM 6.0 gas motor is no record setter in terms of fuel economy, it is a nice mix of power/economy. Fords only offerings, other than diesel are the 5.4 & V10, the V10 is plenty strong, but very thirsty, where the 5.4 is just plain weak IMO compared to it's pushrod counterparts.

Sick
. Went to the doc. this morning, and at first they thought it was a Gall Bladder issue.....and now think that it is a major UTI. Needless to say this has me on pins and needles. I haven't been nervous about the wedding at all, and this loop had to get thrown into the mix. Bah. I think I am going to get really really drunk and hope for the best. -
Can it be sent like a folded mailing rather than in an envelope? If so you can save quite a bit of effort, just have them printed at kinko's or somewhere like that.

personally, while I would carry a grease gun, I would not advise greasing your hubs nearly that often. You don't want to over pack the housing with grease. Doing so can put extra pressure on the inside seal causing it to fail. It would be advisable to grease them up before your return trip, while they are still cool, but no need to constantly force grease into them. As long as everything is in proper working order, you should have no problem going quite a few thousand miles between greasing. Also, once you get to where you are going, allow your hubs to cool down prior to launch.

I would go with Lifecaulk or 3M101. Speaking with Key McKee a couple of years ago, that is what they used for the deck covers & consoles.

been using it for a few weeks so far, still have to keep around IE for a few sites, but overall I like it a lot better. It seems to not tax the OS nearly as bad as IE does. I used firefox for a little while, but it is just a bit over the top on gee whiz features for my taste. Chrome is got all the basics, works very well, and doesn't crash.

How do you align a trailer and who can do it??? I am in the process of upgrading my 14" load C to Maxxis or Denman 15" load D tires and I want to align it before I put the new one on. I would take it to the dealer, about 300 mile, I bought the boat from in Delaware but I don't think the tires would make it. No boat dealers near-by so can I just measure the distance from the end of the trailer frame to the axle?
assuming it has axles that run completely under the trailer, there really isn't a lot to do to align one. You should be able to check everything with a square & tape measure.

I've had directv for about 4 years now, and all in all have been very happy with them. I don't experience the rain faid issue except in the hardest of storms, usually when that happens the power is gone anyway. The biggest thing that I like is that you can take a reciever with you when you travel to ball games or the lake house, and be able to have TV there with only one payment per month. The only issue I have had with them at all was one install job about a year ago, which was promptly taken care of once I reported the issue.
-
Given the recent work, my guess is that the initial leak was age related, and the followup leak is a faulty install or bad seal. If you need help to get the rear end up, I would go with air bags rather than springs, you can add air to them when you are going to be towing. You can set them up with an onboard compressor, or simply run the air lines to your rear bumper, and put a schrader valve there and fill it up with a tire pump. Even a cheap 12V pump that you plug into your cig. lighter is more than enough to pump them up quickly.
-
got mine too, do you think they would mind if I put it towards payments on my current truck.
-
I am going to guess a good carb job is in order.
-
I am still trying to figure out why they would talk about the tarp at the dock, and then wait until they got out to sea to put it out. I am sure there is a reason, seems like they would be explaining it.
-
you need a nifty little program called lozdodge, then you can get onto virtually any site from work.
-
the only thing left I need to do is get a sheet of clear acrylic or similar to mount on the wall below the rail to keep the drywall from getting beat up. I figure a few smudges & scratches on it would look a lot better than black marks & scratches on a light colored wall.
-
Trey now I don't know your system you are working with. For that leaf blower of yours, could you not mount a dowel (cut off a portion of an old broom handle) sticking straight out somehow? (drill hole in a block of wood, glue in dowel, mount block of wood)
I accidently picked up a bike hook for the system, made to hold the front tire of a bike with the back hanging below, that tured out perfect for hanging it by the handle.
-
I had all 4 done at once, the bottom 2 were impacted, and the top two basically wanted to stay where they were. The surgon actually had to rest his thumbs on my cheek bones to pry them out, so I had 2 black eyes for a week or so. Just keep everything clean and you should be fine. Make sure no food particles get hung up in the wholes.
-
what you need is some bourbon........the alcohol will keep everything in your mouth disinfected, and for the pain, I think that is self explanatory.

I picked up a 84" rail from HD last night as well as a few of the accessory hooks. This is a well made system, if you can use a stud finder, level, and drill, it is super easy to put up. The only thing that I have had any trouble hanging so far is my leaf blower. It is a handheld echo model, and has a fairly fat engine, I may have to add a loop of cord to it or something like that to hang it off of a standard accessory hook.

had a very similar thing happen on my parents F115 earlier this summer. Make sure that the small inline filter between the low pressure pump & high pressure pump has been replaced. This one got missed by the dealer on ours, and caused all sorts of headaches until we found it. The earlier four stroke motors don't have this filter, so this may or may not apply to your situation.
