My first mower was an 18" Lawn Boy commercial trim mower that my dad bought in 1963 from my uncle who was a Chevy dealer, and who also sold Lawnboy mowers. I used that for my lawn mowing jobs until I left home, but when I finished my schooling and was in a position to buy our first home, I got...

We like those woven plastic rugs too! They don't absorb rain or spilled water, and sand etc. usually just shakes off. We use a bit larger one that mostly fills our pop-up shelters (either Clam or Gazelle) that enclose our galley area and about 10 ft outboard, and then smaller ones (like 3x5...

Hope your 40th reunion was as enjoyable as my 52nd was!

Yeah, all the smoke coming down from the Canadian wild fires has kept things pretty gloomy around here for the past week too. So wearing it now is certainly appropriate. I'm wearing mine today too, hoping it will chase the smoke away. Here's a link to smoke forecasting site: Smoke Forecast -...

....those T-shirts are meant to cheer you up, so you should only wear them on gloomy days....not sunny cheerful ones.:cool:

Because of Covid, we had our 50th reunion at our 52nd year. We had about 60% turnout of the living classmates. About 20% had passed over the years. While I had been able to make almost all of them (except the 5 yr), and made a lot of the same observations as you. At this one I saw a few...

I'm being nice, ...just comparing notes. Born in '52, I remember the first TV we got when I was about 4. It had a round screen, and of course was B&W (we got color about 10yrs later). We had 3 network channels, and one independent out of Minneapolis, all of which went off the air at about 11pm -...

.....TV? I remember not even having one! ...and I remember my folks talking about having to walk miles to and from school every day, up hill both ways through a foot of snow, and doing chores before going and after getting home each day as well, with no time to play, much less get bored. Fun was...

I recently had a Ryobi 18V cordless drill battery that would no longer take a charge. Just for the fun of it, I took it apart and found it had 6 cells in series inside. I found that all but one had a normal charge, but one with a zero charge. I was able to find some correct size pretty...

Nice Walleye! Hope you had a great shore lunch!:D

Looks kinda like a greenhouse, which might be good in the shoulder seasons when it's a bit chilly, but unless there are some unseen screens, it might be a real solar cooker in the summer season.

Was that with both 100AH Li batteries or just the one in the CI?

Thanks for your sleuthing to find out how they are doing! Glad to hear they survived the pandemic and are doing well.

Sorry to hear Bob & Kathy are no longer awarding the badges. They were a nice couple who we had the pleasure of camping next to at one of the CICO's about 10+ years ago. I knew they were getting older, and hadn't seen any postings from them for quite some time, so wondered if they were still...

...ah, nice. Two great birds of prey executing their skills to gain sustenance while achieving the demise of two creatures very high on my list of obnoxious creatures...squirrels, and crows. We have eagles roost quite regularly in the trees in front of our home, but they seem much more...

...as does our 2013 Outback, and has from the day it was new. Just not enough to meet Subaru's threshold to do anything about it then, while still under warranty, so we just got use to carrying an extra quart of oil all the time.

Sand Hill crane's. We really noticed a substantial increase in their numbers around east central MN over the last few years. They hang around the local airport too, but seem a little smarter than the Canadian geese, who seem to be attracted to the runway a lot more than the cranes. There have...

He appears to be auditioning for the latest Darwin Awards.

I think you'll find that the carbonation will generally be higher in bottled/canned beer than in tap beer, and can be somewhat reduced by pouring the bottled/canned beer into a glass, but will still be higher than a kegged beer poured into a glass. My bachelor neighbor at the airport got into...

Always kind of liked the "From the land of sky blue waters" Hamm's Bear commercials as a kid, but never developed much of a taste for their beer. I prefer a good IPA myself. It didn't start out that way, but back in the 80's when my dad decided to invest in a new start up brewery in St. Paul...
