    bracket challenge

    I'm in. I have watched only 3 games in person and 1 game on TV this year. All of the games that I have been to, and the one that I watched were Northern Kentucky University games. They are about 1.5 miles from my work and we have a suite at BB&T Arena where they play in Highland Heights...

    New Trophy added to my collection

    To add to this, when you get new trophies you get an alert, which is how I found out about this one.

    New Trophy added to my collection

    3 Year Anniversary! When I joined 3 years ago I was nervous that a split from the old site to this new site would be detrimental all around. Once I was here, it was very easy to see that this new and improved site, with open, honest and qualified leadership was going to be great. My...

    Bargains What A Deal!!!! <Post up Bargains Here>

    I am reading from other sources that the items totaling $50 or over have to be sold by Amazon, not 3rd party stores. Basically anything with Prime shipping would qualify towards the $50.

    At the Miami Boat show!

    @Roger.P can you walk on the mega yachts at that show, or are they by invitation only?

    DJI Mavic Drone

    I noticed earlier this week that the new DJI Go app has Facebook Live streaming. I tested it out on my Facebook page a couple of times where only I would see the post. It works ok at best with quite a bit of pixilation, but that might be because I am using a 3yr old phone. Check it out.

    Loan Fees... what is reasonable?

    Just to echo earlier comments, try a credit union. GE Credit Union in Cincinnati beat EVERYONE else hands down. It was/is our 1st time using a credit union, and we couldn't be happier. Good luck!

    DJI Mavic Drone

    Congrats Ronnie! The only thing that I don't care for with the Mavic is the position of the tablet below the remote controller. I have seen some fairly decent mods that will overcome this, but I don't understand why DJI went with this style, it will be interesting to see if they keep that in...

    Is it a flying fish?

    Fishing Boat Addons!

    Very nice! I am an avid fisherman. In the past, I have tried convincing my wife to let me build a platform similar to yours but she always strikes that down. For now, if I go fishing I borrow my Uncle's 17' bass tracker. One thing I have noticed over the years is that if we are in shallow...

    Wouldn't it be cool if Yamaha makes a 30 footer jetboat

    The current 242x with 1.8L HO engines burns 23.5 gph at WOT @ 50.3mph (which means you could hypothetically burn through the 50 gallon tank in less than 2 hours!). I'm not sure that a 26' or 27'er would burn 80 gallons/hr at WOT. Even if it did, I think a 100 gallon tank would still be pretty...

    Wouldn't it be cool if Yamaha makes a 30 footer jetboat

    I'm not trying to be a smartass, but I think fuel efficiency pretty much goes out the window on almost all boats over 26' except boats powered by diesel engines. We looked at a 28' Bayliner several years ago, it had a 100 gallon gas tank and only one engine.

    New toy I bought last week

    I sold my '99 Mustang GT years ago to pay for our 1st boat. I really miss that car, but it was still one of the best decisions of my life. My wife knows that once we are kid free there will be another fast car in the garage. Until then, we have my truck and her minivan :( Have fun!

    Drone Boating

    Nice work! I took my Phantom 3 out on the boat several times this year but I didn't get a chance to use it. Hopefully this summer.

    the new scarab model with the tailgate was at the boat show tonight

    The dealer said that they would have a demo day coming up this spring where I could come and drive the 255 on the river. He bragged about the control the reverse gates have because they direct the water to the sides and back instead of straight backwards like the Yamaha gates. I would...

    the new scarab model with the tailgate was at the boat show tonight

    We attended the Cincinnati (pontoon) Boat Show this morning. Way too many pontoon boats and not enough bowriders, but it was still a good time to get out of the cold rain and dream about summer. My wife absolutely loved the Scarab 255 Wake. I have to admit that it sure seemed to have a lot...

    Who needs a parachute anyways...

    This reminds me of the time my buddy's mom tried skydiving without a parachute.

    The Lily Camera

    Karma still isn't for sale. And as far as I know there hasn't been a kickstarter about a new drone that has gone all the way through. I guess that just goes to show how incredibly difficult it is to make a quality quadcopter. DJI is WAY ahead of the competition at this point. Hopefully...
