    Movin' Machinery

    I thought I'd try down here versus the lounge for some hand's on experience. Need to move equipment from the OC in So Cal to northern Nevada. I think I fall firmly between the average garage stuff that normal movers would move, and the heavy equipment/low bed stuff. I have a bridgport...

    The 21' and under 70+ mph Boat pic thread

    @Sharp Shooter If you don't mind, I'm going to steal the P-40 pics for our family archive. Kort was may dad's best friend and my godfather. I watched the boat race a ton of times and never ended up with any pictures. I can't tell who's driving or riding, but I think Leach drove it quite a bit...

    Amateur Welder - Need Guidance

    Given it's square tube, and assuming you're building a rectangle, clamp a diagonal piece across the corner (corners if you have enough clamps) to hold the two pieces square and aligned. Then you can weld it on sawhorses or anything elevated and don't have to level it on the floor.

    First day of Supercat Fest west

    I'll say it out loud. This kicks last weekend's street party's ass. If you're out here, get here.

    Should I or Shouldn’t I…….. Job Offer. $475 per hour

    I've done it for engineering/surveying. I just make sure if my side is legit and if I don't feel they are, I bounce early. The BS happens during depositions. If the case actually goes to trial, the judge keeps things focused. Seems they don't go to trial very often. Retired now, but current...

    Who’s coming to supercat?

    Planning to come back out to be there Thursday evening. Curious on spectator parking at the Riviera. I admittedly haven't watched the entire promo video.

    I thought I was pretty good at identifying V-drives... not this one, does anyone have a clue who built this boat?

    Can't help, but that has to be one of the very first dolly trailers.

    Auto stop/start & Diesels

    I put this on my '21 gasser and am super happy with it. The specs really don't describe the function well, but I was pleased that you can toggle the feature off and on if you really wanted to. I was worried about warranty problems. Have always left it in the disabled mode though.

    Big Aluminum Socket Wrench

    Never thought of doing the friction drive operation when needed. I learn something new with every one of your projects.

    Global warming my ass!!

    Been shopping the Carson Valley hard for the last 6 months to get closer to our kids and grandkids in nor cal, but the weather since New Years has been brutal. Keep seeing "worst in 40 Years" and things like that, but man its been cold!

    What the hell is going on at the top of Bison?

    I thought that I read somewhere that the sheriff's dept. was sponsoring a desert clean-up today.

    Saw This At The Gas Station This Morning

    Maybe this one? Saw it at the Quarantine Cruise in December.

    New Year’s at Weekend Paradise

    It was pretty chilly and windy around 11:00, but guys were making pases. There was probably 16-18 boats that seemed about half of usual, but a good turnout considering the threat of rain. Jerry was there video tapping, so I hope we get to see some footage.

    What vehicle do you flat tow.

    Bought a 2019 Chevy Colorado WT (cheapy work truck) 4 door in 4WD from CarMax. Set the transfer case to neutral and go. Wired the lights with diodes to run tow lights from MH.

    Mind blown...

    There was a booth at Run to the Sun advertising these. Supposedly Havasu locals. Then I noticed a couple of houses with them along Avalon. Trick, but looks like it severely reduce the opening height.

    V-Drive Regatta Segment

    Same here. Those were great times right in our back yard. Drove up Santiago last Sunday and you can hardly even see the water now.

    Some encouraging "Lake news"

    FWIW Orange County sent Newsome packing by just over 6%. Too bad it's such a small bubble.

    What's on your Christmas list

    I guess I'm at a good place in life. All I want is a pneumatic can crusher.
