    Tow Vehicle Dilemma...

    So here is a question on towing. I took a ride in my neighbor's new 85K Ford pickup electric vehicle. Really cool but no way I pay 85k for a truck. my 2019 Rami Hemi 4wd Big Horn purchased new for 35.4 out the door serves me fine. I was wondering however, what happens when he submerges the...

    Make the universities pay it back....but no, God forbid Harvard with their 30 to 40? billion endowment (as well as other institutes of higher learning lol) give some credit back to the students! But Lord knows that will never occur

    The Texas School Shooting

    @Troch1 to answer your question, the "standard" vest worn on patrol is not protecting you from a .223 round fired from an AR15. The vests are mainly designed to stop handgun rounds. You can usually place an armor plate which covers your middle most vulnerable parts in your vest that might help...

    The Texas School Shooting

    If you were dumb enough to not wear you kevlar on a daily basis, that is strike one. We were issued helmets also, so that was all you had. If you had a shield, great but once you crash the door that's really not a help. It just protects you somewhat if under fire and advancing. But when it...

    The Texas School Shooting

    One can’t answer how many lives would be saved, but you have to try. In simplest terms, the training was on point. In the scenario, it was just another average day of day work. One squad comes in to work the 6 am to 4 pm shift. Each squad has about 10-12 officers for the district. 3 or 4...

    The Texas School Shooting

    I am wondering when the police supervisor who made the decision to NOT go in, will be charged. I don't believe you should judge unless you have walked in those shoes. I have. That leader needs to be charged. The inaction was not only cowardly, it was criminal in my opinion. Have they not...

    Gas prices

    SPOT ON @Rumbo. Some folks are just blind to facts. Best not to engage or disagree of you will be sat down (kicked off the forum) for 30 days.

    What gas price makes you change your boating habits?

    There certainly is alot more to say about this, but as you stated @Farny the state of the country speaks for itself and anyone with a modicum of common sense know the reason for the mess we are in.

    What gas price makes you change your boating habits?

    Well we all knew this was coming in November 2020. At least the realists did. But who would have thought this high? I figured double prices in two years and it has almost tripled in 18 months and continues to increase with no end in sight. As predicted in November 2020...

    Buying a boat across the country

    I have shipped tow boats. Relatively painless and inexpensive in 2012; basically free in 2005 - 400 bucks from NC to MD. Contrary to the assertions above, gas in 2012 topped out at 3.62 at the highest point which is nowhere near the outrageous price we pay now. Presently, gas at my local...

    What would you do, two?

    Easy call. Do your own sleuthing and get it back to the original owner, personally. Do not trust the mail, do not trust an apartment manager, do not trust anyone. Just do it yourself. It is the right thing to do.

    Vinyl seat cleaner

    I dilute it. But at the price point, full strength won't cost you much. BUt it is overkill.

    Forget about living on the water, I’ve had an epiphany!

    You should be concerned and your inner radar is buzzing for a reason. I would not get into a bidding war over a home. This many times causes an overreaction which translates to over bidding. The market is much too hot to handle and you do not want to make a decision under such pressure. As...

    Supplemental Income/Side Hustles

    Part time Real Estate is a tough row to hoe. I would never hire a part timer, based on my experience around here. A few of my bored housewives and divorced mom friends thinking "This is an easy way to make a buck." They have alot to learn. I got my license 35 years ago, just to save money...

    The official "What did you do to your jet boat today" thread.

    Returned to my Ocean City home after a 6 month absence. Took the cover of the boat. Started the engines. Fired right up after siiting since last October. Gotta' love these Yamahas!.
