This post is only for gearheads that know something about engines. If that is not you, read something else. Perhaps Huckelberry Finn. I finally fixed my boat with the help of our marina mechanic. We, and the rep from Merc Cruiser who built the engines were baffled for quite a while and it...

I just got back from my morning walk and while I am waiting for my muffins to bake I got a minute to post. My walk this morning took me through a grave yard and it is very old. I mean VERY old. Here are some of the tomb stones. The round one in the back I think it is the oldest and it was hard...

I took a video

Things like that happen to me all the time. I don't know If I put this story of one of my airplane trips on here. If I did, just ignore it. :) Early this week I had to go to Florida on business and I flew Spirit Airlines. I usually go on Jet Blue but Spirit had a flight that was a better...

What a frightening walk I had this morning :eek: I got up in the middle of the night as I couldn't sleep. I can never sleep. So I went for a walk even though it was pitch black outside and the sun wouldn't rise for at least an hour. I walked about half a mile and I heard this wild animal...

Behind my house just now.

Captains License and that was the hardest course I ever took. It's not just navigation, that is a small part and no electronics are allowed. It's all with a compass, paper and pencil. (and of course whatever you can write on your arm before the test) They give you questions like: "You are...

So yesterday some Jiboni from my marina was putting diesel fuel in his boat, but he accidentally put 12 gallons of it into the "rod holder hole" instead of the fuel tank. Oops! So it all went into his bilge and swirled around his engine. Instead of staying there and having someone pump it out...

Early this morning, before the sun even thought of coming up I walked through this cemetery that was built in 1803. I wanted to see if there was anyone I knew in there. :biggrin:

Diana, you need a wide mouth jar. Make a funnel out o a PVC screen or something like that. Glue gun it in. Make sure there is a hole in the end that is inside the jar. Put rocks or something over it as those shrimp won't come out in the open. They hunt from under rocks. Bait the thing and...

This morning on my beach walk I saw something I have never seen there before. No, Not Angelina Jolie. Two deer. We have deer all over the place and I counted 12 of them on my way to the beach, but I didn't think they could get down this loose sand hill that has 176 stairs on it. (The deer are...

Thanks. My book made another $500.00 which I will donate to the National MS Society in my wife's name. I will post the receipt from them when I get it which may be 2 months. :biggrin:

Check out the "moon" at sunrise. I thought it was the sun until I saw on the news that the moon was orange from fires in Texas thousands of miles away.

Yes, all of them here on this "mountain" are like that but the one to my beach is still fine. :D
