  1. I don’t know about a sitter but if it doesn’t work out I have a great Brunswick stew recipe for rabbits.
  2. I buying a GMC Yukon several years ago and was sitting at the salesman’s desk filling out my check when he stopped me. Seems they had a call from someone who wanted it and was willing to finance it. They make more from GMAC if it’s financed than if they sell it for cash. They sent me on my way saying they would call me if the other deal fell through. I told them not to bother. The guy called me the next day trying to get me to come back to buy it. I have bought 3 GMCs since then from other dealers.
  3. I have had starlink nearly a year and it has been awesome. We had 3-4 mbps with our old provider and get 125-150mbps now. Even on weekends with the house full of teenagers on their phones it doesn’t slow down.
  4. Do you have a removable ball? If so can you pull the pin from the ball and take it off with the trailer? It sounds like it’s under pressure. Usually chocking the tires and putting the truck in drive or reverse is all it takes to free them.
  5. I’m pretty sure all the fuel lines are 5/32” so that would be the od.
  6. I’m going to need a new bug a salt after this year. We are infested with them.
  7. I’ve seen both sides of this. I’ve had people ask me not to fish their docks and I just move on. I’ve also seen an angler rip a hole in my neighbors tritoon cover because he missed his cast by 10’. Personally I don’t skip a dock from any angle that could hit a boat. If a slip is occupied I may skip the outside of the dock but avoid the slip. I am miss out on a few fish but its better than risking damaging someone else’s property.
  8. My grandfather always complained that the money he saved during his life wasn’t in todays dollars. He saved in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. By the time he retired in the 80s his 50s dollar didn’t buy a dollars worth of stuff.
  9. My ocd doesn’t allow me to only get a little. I rarely hit 1/4 tank before I fill up.
  10. They make several cleaners but the original aluminum cleaner definitely will remove paint if you put it on undiluted. They also say it won’t hurt your trailer but it deteriorates carpeted bunks if you don’t rinse it off quickly.
  11. Toon brite is great stuff but it’s not for painted aluminum. It will take the paint off.
  12. I’m skeptical about this one too. I’ve seen an older torque master that hit a log at 50 and it was ripped off clean and shattered the case. A floating log will give more than a rooted stump.
  13. One cable might be enough but I wouldn’t trust my life to one old cable. They used duals as a safety for the pressure of 150+ hp outboards running 50 and over mph. Replace the cables, steering is not a place to cheap out.
  14. I thought it was funny they had to ask the public to stop taking pot shots at it. If it came over Alabama it would have been raining lead here.
  15. The garbage steaks that are blade tenderized have the be cooked like burgers too. The blades going through allow bacteria in the meat. My favorite is ribeye. I smoke to 95* on my pellet grill then sear with garlic butter in a cast iron pan on the gas grill 2 minutes per side.
  16. A robot arm that hands you the rod you want from the locker and puts the one you have back in there. Oh and a laser beam that vaporizes jet skis and wake boats automatically.
  17. Your situation doesn’t really sound like the ones being discussed. Being retired with a stable pension and having debt that fits into your income is not a problem. It’s a totally different situation for a 20 something with no savings and hundreds of thousands of dollars in luxury debt. There’s a lot of people that appear to be living very well who are 1 or 2 missed pay checks away from disaster. I’m not judging anyone who has debt but for me taking on debt for toys is a nonstarter.
  18. The guys that buy these aren’t towing them with a beat down 1987 F150 either. Our boat ramps are full of $100k boats being towed by $80-100k trucks. Most are driven by young guys too.
  19. Unforgiven, True Grit (the original), The Quick and the Dead
  20. Don’t invite more yankees down here. We have enough of the uninvited variety already. RW was just kidding northerners. It sucks down, here stay home.
  21. I don’t know what the price is going to be but Mercury’s new 7.5 electric looks cool. https://www.mercurymarine.com/en/us//engines/outboard/avator/mercury-avator-75e/
  22. Dogs all the way. I have barn cats but they’re here to do a job and not really pets.
  23. I use our air fryer all the time. I have cooked steaks and they’re always good. My favorite is air fried bacon. It’s lighter and crispier than pan frying and not greasy. Chicken wings are also really good in it.
  24. I had a problem with my traeger not heating up right and staying on temperature. I found there was about a 1/2 burned through the fire pot. I replaced it and it heats up a whole lot faster now.
  25. I hate Alabama as much as anybody but I think they would beat OSU or TCU. I think TCU is the more deserving of a spot though.
