    The Vaccine

    To be fair, sure surgical mask is for a reason but it sure the hell isn't to protect me from a virus he might have. If I had a surgeon with covid come in with just a surgical mask on saying that it was to protect me from contracting covid I'd think it was a bad joke - no? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not...

    Starboard pump sounds like gravel at idle

    Just noticed I never followed up on this last summer. Thought I'd post in case someone had similar issue and came across this. Turns out a fresh set of spark plugs smoothed it right out. Sounded like the pump to me but did in fact end up being just a rough idle (only at idle rpm's) on one...

    All the rare, degrees of separation talk doesn't mean $h!1t when your child is lying the ICU fight for their life. It works both ways, I would never tell a parent not to vaccinate their child but I would never look down on them for choosing to not do it either. Who am I to second guess their...

    The Vaccine

    I'm concerned for my teenagers when it comes to vaccine safety. I have 2 known cases within my network of friends of friends where 2 different teens end up in the ICU with heart issues - confirmed side effect of the vaccine. Your telling me no, no, no... its safe and your just ridiculous if...

    Huh?! Care should always be prioritized on who needs it the most, no? Can you imagine coming in as a dying trauma patient from rocking climbing and are told you need to wait til I treat this person's broken finger first because you decided to go rock climbing and that was a more risky life...

    SOLD 2017 212X For Sale - Southeaster MN $55,000

    My family has decided to look at making a change for next year. Its with mixed emotion I'm listing our 2017 212X. This boat is our "baby" and there is a lot I'm going to miss about the Yamaha platform. It runs like a dream and has about 195 hrs on it. We are meticulous about keeping it up...

    Looking at selling my 2017 212X, any idea on price?

    Thanks guys for the input. Still thinking - the other thing that has me hesitating is just the ability to get new boat right now. Such a weird time to buy and sell anything right now.

    Looking at selling my 2017 212X, any idea on price?

    My family is looking at possibly moving on to a new boat. We love this boat, its our baby, and there is so much we will miss about the Yamaha platform. We just feel a purpose built wakeboat will better fit our use these days. With teenagers that want to surf and wakeboard all the time just...

    The Vaccine

    I know kids are more susceptible to this delta variant, but anyone know what percentage are actually dying vs just getting sick? Just heard a friend of a friend’s 15 yr old son is in the ICU with heart inflammation from a vaccine side effect, they are still holding out hope but they just got...

    The Vaccine

    I won't argue that vaccines aren't important, but doesn't this whole "for the good of your neighbor" argument becoming more and more obsolete as we see vaccinated people spreading this virus just as readily as unvaccinated? Just recently there was an outbreak of covid in Massachusetts which has...

    tube face spray

    Having a loop on each end of the rope so you can thread in through the loop on one rope and back through itself to extend the original rope is business as usual for tow ropes. If you have a tow rope without a loop or you cut one to make an extended section, you can add a loop easily. Here is a...

    Well… The Rumours Are True…

    Where in the hell did they find the focus group that reflected that anyone wants to drive a pontoon using handle bars and a jet ski throttle??? That boggles my mind. Is that just me???

    The Vaccine

    Yeah I'd love to know too. Covid went through our house long before vaccines were available, lost their taste and smell and sick in bed for days. I took care of them all. Figured being in the same small house there was no way around getting it in this situation so I didn't bother with any...

    The Vaccine

    Sigh, did you guys even read my whole post? You missed the whole point.:( I'm not talking about trusting the vaccine. I'm talking about exactly what you guys did, came to your own conclusions about the safety of the vaccine. I'm addressing the talk of mandates that would take that choice...

    The Vaccine

    Wow - I envy you guys that can so easily put so much trust in the government and governmental agencies. Its always ironic to me how just about everyone at some point complains how bad government is and then turns around and just hands them more and more control. There is so much corruption out...

    The Vaccine

    Excerpt from a Q/A with Dr. Marty Makary, a professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. I found this interesting as I've been very curious about immunity in regards to previous infection and have found very little discussion or data about it. As I mentioned in earlier in this...

    The Vaccine

    Covid is a serious problem. Vaccines are important. The liberty for people to choose what they put in their own bodies is essential. The ability for government at any level to dictate what a person is forced to inject into their body is extremely dangerous. I'll never understand how people...

    HELP, my wife’s suit stained our brand new boat seats!

    As others have said, couple days in direct sun and it will usually be gone. I had a new swim suit put blue blotches all over the white seats, I was worried about how to get it out but to my surprise a couple of days in the sun later it was gone without me doing a single thing. Been my...

    Rope/line caught in Scarab BRP/Rotax impeller intake

    I thought so too. Maybe that's why the rope isn't around the shaft by the intake (which you normally see on Yamaha's) and only wrapped around right behind the impeller. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
