  1. No offense folks, I know most of you are NickleBack fans.
  2. @Than_Bogan nope pretty much irrelevant to most topics but you gonna hit dislike?
  3. Hard to keep politics out of something so political, but this is completely non-political.
  4. https://henry.com/residential-and-light-commercial/weather-resistive-air-barriers/blueskinvp100 Blue Smurf sheets
  5. I wired a ~6000 sqft two story house completely over the water with the most awesome boat lift ever. I do believe it was just ply on top of joist then sub floor. Abandon Tyvek. Theres a self adhesive blue material that’s far superior and easier to work with. I’ll post a link of it when I find it. They might’ve used the blue smurf sheet between subfloor and plywood. Also don’t forget if you have exposed floor decking over water to put screen down or else chicken hawks will fly up between the gaps.
  6. I’m building memories with my boys. I took the month off, or two or three, and we escaped to the fish camp.
  7. Terrible title. Back in the days before my blood pressure was 220/80 I could. Time to get the pressure washer out.
  8. @escmanaze for some reason I can’t seem to get it load, is it just me? But I’m pretty certain my internet has the Corona. I’m curious to see what you come up with.
  9. Those models are overrated.
  10. Luckily I had my arse handed to me in the 2008 giant recession. That was a bad experience at a bad age at a bad time. I learned from it and came back more diversified work wise. Thanks to the 08-12 downturn i succeeded in not having anything financed. So for the next 3-4 months(?) me, the wife, and our young boys will be at our fish camp on the coast.
  11. Sad thing is my hair is the same way but I’m bald on top, makes me 10x goofier.
  12. That tp hoarding freak needs a haircut
  13. @ReallyGottaSki sounds like too much fiberglass obstructing that exhaust. May I suggest replacing glass with SS or copper?
  14. @buechsr the person who asked me to look at that boat knew I was fairly knowledgeable of SN. He also knows I have extemely high standards and a keen eye which is why he asked me to put eyes on it. Like I said, cosmetics I gave generous 85%, average less detailed person would call that show room condition. I don’t recall price of it but I’m betting if it was cheapest bubble butt in the country then a particular skier in Alabama probably would’ve added it to his surplus of bubble butts. A carb’d boat when dialed in will run every bit along with its EFI counterpart. Those ski boats with the fastest and quickest numbers undoubtedly are carbeurated. I said “evidently” it sold sight unseen, Which indicates I wasn’t certain. I’m sure you sold it for more money as last I talked to you, you said it was in the shop fixing some of the inssues. The person I was looking out for ended up buying a boat, sight unseen. Knowing the individual he bought it from and his EXTENSIVE knowledge, I’m certain the buyer got a hell of a boat and I’m impressed with the pictures I’ve seen.
  15. My rule is no radio when ski’s are in boat. In fact, really wished I didn’t have a radio in the ski boat.
  16. I will say, probably the most stupid move that I was apart of that anybody actually saw was me loading a bubble butt Ski Nautique and it fell off the trailer. But it wasn’t my fault. I was a disinterested 3rd party giving a good look over and test drive on a local SN for an out of state guy. Overall the boat failed performance wise (cosmetics was 85%) and I knew friend wouldn’t have bought it at the point. The seller asked me what I thought as he was rather proud of the boat and I had to be honest. Come time to load boat, seller does the truck, wants me to do the boat. He’s got the tunes on in truck, windows up, Florida in February so ac was probably on high. He backs the Ramlin trailer way down the ramp. I mean fenders 3’ under water. I thought this is gonna load like shit but I already gave the seller a bad report, I already came off like a know it all ass because the boat had problems that I picked up right away...., I’ll just for the first time zip my lips and ride this out. I drive boat to crash pads, boat 100% floating on its own. Seller hooks safety chain but the safety clasp was broken on the safety hook. Something I already pointed out ?‍♂️. Seller drives out of ramp. Boat comes forward with trailer some but mind you it’s floating very much on its own, not resting on the wish bone. It floats enough to knock the broken safety hook off the bow, as the weight of boat and the angle of the dangle changes boat starts to slide off the trailer. I’m jumping, hollering, waving, honking a broken horn (that I already pointed out) Joe Cool Seller sees nothing. Bam, boat falls off trailer and is sitting on the ramp. Surprisingly enough it happened so slow that there was no gelcoat damage and prop shaft was still within .003”. Evidently a buyer across country bought it sight unseen.
  17. There’s not enough webspace for me to list my stupid moves.
  18. Staying at home and going crazy is what they want the faithful Sheeple to do. I’m not saying go hug everybody at Walmart but I’d rather die on the boat than go crazy watching one sided news on the couch.
  19. @VONMAN my buddy has the identical matching Centurion and he’s in your area.
  20. Ad is real. Google if you think wish is full of it.
