Looking good Nate. Yes the lignite rod.  FYI for future reference. Igniter rod should read about 70 ohms on the VOM. Igniters direct on Amazon.  Good guys.  I bought the defective one back in September as a spare.  Emailed them about it and they sent me a new one even though outside "warranty". I keep a couple on hand.

Loaded up my old lift to meet a kid tomorrow.  And got the old pellet smoker working.  New controller, new temp probe, and new igniter rod.

Cruzing hit my my add: The floating marine band radio.  not to be captain obvious (get it?):
Floating key chain for boat and truck keys.  Otter box for wallet and phone.  Floating GPS and laminated map of the water I went to most often.  I used the dedicated GPS because cell phones don't always have service and the breadcrumbs make it easy to get back.  You can also buy detailed maps for the GPS for the water you visit most to help with fishing spots, other points of interests.  GPS also lets you mark MOB (man overboard) and other important locations.  I needed that in my home lake because there were many submerged hazards in certain areas  and it helped me remember and avoid them.

I would also add extra rope and anchor of different type like a mushroom.  Easy to handle and perfect for calm small coves.  Also remember you need 8x the water depth in rope length where you intend to anchor.  Somewhere I still have a boating book (  https://www.amazon.com/Chapman-Piloting-Seamanship-67th/dp/1588169618/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BV10EHNWX5F2P3EDDG2M  ) (large hardback intended for larger boats, but still very relevant for regulations and things like rigging and rope maintenance) and I used that to help me splice eyes into the ends of the rope and keep some small stainless shackles.  I could then keep a small managable rope and quckly and easily add sections to it without typing a knot. https://youtu.be/UracDq6QAz4

and don't forget a first aid kit.

Safe boating!  Enjoy!

Sold the trailer on Sat, and bought a boat on Sunday. '95 Larson 20ft bowrider w/ a 4.3L Mercruiser w/ radiator and EZ load single axle trailer. Custom Seahawks interior got my attention, but the outdrive is new, all new stainless braided hydraulics, most of the electrical has been updated, new bilge, pretty new tonneau cover and only 240hrs.

edit: screen shot has facebook crud on it, but I can't seem to crop it. oh well.
What's with the ugly colors?

Needs some orange and black tiger striping!


well, they are interested in Colin Kapernickle......

So. I'm trying to regain some manliness after the expose on my Greek salad...

Between the ribs and this I hope to regain some cred.

Blistered shishooto peppers. Mix of olive and grape seed oil. Coat the peppers. Liberally salt and pepper. Heat a cast iron skillet to very hot on the stove top while the broiler in the oven is heating up. Toss the peppers in the skillet and then place under the broiler until we'll blistered. Don't mind the smoke. It had to be very high heat to get the blister and not wilt the pepper.

Remove and place in a bowl, add additional salt. Sprinkle with feta or goat cheese.

Make a quick sauce. Sourcreme mayo lime juice and hot sauce. Salt and pepper.

Eat and discover the addiction.

I'm not sure that crawling through the mulch at the mall causes enough articulation to warrant QD but if it ever became a problem, there is the solution.

Made my wife happy. She's been wanting her iPhone to play music in her SUV and I finally made it by the custom stereo place and they had the gizmo I couldn't seem to find on the web. 20 minutes in and out and she can control it all from the steering wheel controls.

X2. I would have thought the rear would be the place to start. What was the cost of the kit?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'll look into it Tex
Only reason I stay away from messing with the rear is that 70%-80% of suspension articulation occurs in the rear. I need that with the nature of the off road I did yesterday and 2X times a week. But a smaller rear bar might not adversely affect that since this is mostly a on road truck and the country road driving it the predominate negative to the feel of the thing.

Who has one? Addco?

and whats the verdict Charles?
About the salad?  Very good. Gotta work on the dressing a bit. Less dill and more acid. Gonna try lemon juice as the acid with the oil

And this weekend



Went lighter on the rub and added apple cider vinegar to the apple juice for the spray. Also smoked with pecan this time.

Good, but needed more rub and I like hickory better.

I like the salomons so much I keep two pair. One to wear with casual clothes and the other to work out and just work in. When the latter gets worn out is about the time I've soiled the newer pair and I just rotate down and buy a new pair.

Good looking boat Tate. Those 4.3 mercruisers are pretty solid. Had one in a 20 ft that would do 57 flat out on a perfect surface.   Buying used makes all the difference.  I had mine for 3 years and only lost $2000. Sold it back to the place I bought it from.

Highly recommend what is called a "topsider".

05:00, coffee. Watched trump not bow to the Saudi king. Got to the shop and replaced a controller and temp probe on a smoker I'm refurbishing for my dad. Bad igniter. Amazon order.

Poured rain for an hour. Did inside chores with the youngest. Cleaned both bathrooms, washed dishes, did a load of clothes, swept the floors. Went into town for chicken wings and to return some stuff to lowes and HD. Went to tractor supply and picked up a 25ton log splitter. Got home, fed the fish, split some wood. Took a shower and had leftovers for dinner. Whooped the youngest at rummy.
