    My dad was an attorney and my mom was an English and French teacher. My first reaction to that sign: “It should be ‘you’re.’”

    Quite sure most canola oil is not engineered for shear stability.

    A look inside the Yamaha boat building process in Japan.

    I believe the Yamaha jet boat plant in Tennessee is a bit more automated, but there is still quite a bit of hand work. Note: I have not been there. https://yamaha-vonore.com/ If you look at the jobs currently posted, they have a combination of hand and robotically applied spray lines:

    After a wee bit of Google-foo, I have concluded that is the German spelling. Worksheet is from an elementary English test for German students…?

    275 new model year? New Engines?

    That sounds complex and complexity often brings cost and reliability issues along for the ride. I am curious, however, do you have something specific in mind? Optimum hole shot PLUS optimum top speed would be awesome. Also would be attractive to those that would like to boat at several...

    EV's and Cold Weather

    Getting rid of most of my small gas tools for electric was one of my best moves ever. No more futzing w different gas/oil mixes. Always starts right up. (Relatively) quiet, clean, etc. Recently, however, the batteries have become much more expensive. If I have a major project to do, I can...

    EV's and Cold Weather

    Condescension is not a persuasive argument. You do you. Carry on.

    EV's and Cold Weather

    This is a thread about cold weather EV performance. Your dismissive comment referring to three of about 20 colder weather states as “naysayer wastelands” undermines your argument in several obvious ways. It is also interesting that one typically blue, one typically red, and one typically...

    2024 Milwaukee Boat Show

    I went last year, so unlikely to go this year. Try to go every three or so years. Still a nice regional show. More looking (dream phase, really) for a pocket cruiser than a jet boat these days. But I do still enjoy seeing the fresh Yamaha offerings when I go. Also, should you be from...

    Lions Win?

    Detroit can take them! Lions in the NFC championship game! Wow.

    Lions Win?

    Great game last night. Both teams looked good. Nacua is incredible on the run after the catch! Great win for Detroit.

    Found this on X on Reed Timmer’s account (of all people):

    Lions Win?

    Not sure how reliable the info is, but saw a couple of unrelated sources on X reporting that this officiating crew has been dropped from their previously earned playoff assignment. Yet the NFL will not admit any errors were made…. Maddening.

    Lions Win?

    Going to have to disagree. 60 years of Ford ownership behavior speaks for itself. Compare what Illitch did with the Wings to what the Fords have done with the Lions. If current Ford family generation has a will to win, that is a very encouraging sign.

    Lions Win?

    Would love to see the Lions earn and maintain success for a few years. However: I am in my mid 50s and the Lions have won exactly ONE playoff game in my life The Ford family cares about making money, they do not care about winning I started following the Lions during the Greg Landry era, gave...

    More and more frequently I find myself at places of commerce that claim they only take credit, no cash. When I am in the mood, I pull a dollar bill out of my wallet and show the cashier where it says, “THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.” Sometimes they get the point...
