I just uncovered today… far later than usual. Weather has been unbelievably crappy after a 70 degree March. I’m hoping to get in by May 10th, and only a few days later than the norm. And away we go. Happy spring everyone!

The one in the shed was black and about 4 feet long. It slithered out from under the riding mower upon startup. I practically shot straight up out of the seat and hung from the rafters and I’m not afraid of snakes. I usually just grab the garters in the yard and relocate (throw) them...

No, it wasn’t but was said casually before I knew of her phobia. Trouble is that there are lots of snakes here and I can say first hand that the repellent powders and whatnot don’t work at all.

My wife won’t go in the garden shed because I told her that I saw a snake in there once. 20 years ago, so I can’t imagine how she’d react to this. I was helping my dock neighbor work on his boat a few years ago when he encountered a snake in the EC. He was pretty well squeezed in there to...

Put me on that list man. I’d like to finally know why those 2 Corinthians walked into that bar. :)

I couldn’t agree more. It’s always been a mess, but totally crazy now. I’m glad I live in the country. I read recently that over a 62 year period, 12 million people came here through Ellis Island. 62 years. In fairness though, lots of people are coming here because their country is a...

I paid $2.95 yesterday. When it peaked around 5 bucks a few years ago, I was commuting around 170 miles a day in a very efficient car, but I was still spending $700 a month. The only people bitching were the hicks who lived 10 miles away and driving gigantic trucks that got 8 miles to the...

Fine…average prices. For some reason, and you’ve probably noticed that gas prices in the southern tier of NY are usually higher. Either way, it got bad enough that many employees of the company I worked for carpooled for months. I had a three row SUV that was packed every day. On a side note...

I know. I was here, but pointing out an incredibly low swing that occurred during such a weird time is too convenient. Gas was around 5 bucks a gallon in the mid 2000s as I remember. The pendulum swings. Pointing fingers doesn’t stop it. For a minute I forgot that no opposing opinion is...

Come on Dave…pandemic level gas prices were the result of an unprecedented demand issue. Prices would have plummeted and toilet paper would have been scarce regardless of who was at the helm. See you soon.

Any time. Hopefully something can be figured out.

Unfortunately, the hinge I have does not have that 90 degree bend in the one hinge leaf. If you can figure out a way around that, I’d be glad to give it to you. Might be possible to have a metal shop brake bend it, but then the screw holes might not work out. Lemme know what you come up with.

I found it. I can’t believe it, but I found it. It’s 44” long and 2” across when open.

I’m not sure what you mean by that last part, but if you need a standard, stainless steel piano hinge, I have one. I’ll check the length today, but I’m guessing it’s about 40” long or so. Let me know when you determine the length that you need.

My wife and I watch a YouTube channel with a couple who've been sailing around the world for over 10 years. The only time things got weird was in Grenada, when thieves were boarding boats on moorings overnight. Crazy stuff and another reason that I live in the country and boat on an inland lake.

Geese are greasy, but if cooked correctly, breast slices are like steaks and some of the best meat I've ever eaten. When I roast them I do it on a rack and turn them every 15 minutes. It's incredible how much fat will render. Try it, you'll like it. FWIW, I'm not a big venison guy either...

What's the plan for all of those geese? They're great to eat, but that's a shitload.

Going out of the canal one day, I saw a guy in one of the other marinas chasing geese away with a rake. A few hours later, coming back in I saw the same guy getting chased all over the place by about 40 geese. It was hysterical.

When my parents moved to Florida, my sister (who already lived there) put a very real looking, 6' inflatable gator in their new back yard. When my mom came out with her coffee the next morning she nearly died.

Clearly I'm in the minority here, but my boat cockpit was upholstered in cloth originally. I'd never seen this before and liked it so redid it in Sunbrella cloth. It's cool or warm no matter the weather and has the comfort of home furniture.
