@Speedling I was on Facebook today and there was a solution to your spider problem. I am not sure if it will work for you however I might try it. It recommends that you get naked and after the spider sees you naked it decides to commit suicide instead of biting you. Now in my case this just might work.[flag]

In my case the spiders would look at me and say "Lets bite him repeatedly in the neck and put him out of his misery!"
 
Getting ready to pull the boat out of the side yard to go boating this weekend and just as I saw this I heard a female voice whisper "pull it out slow it's a tight fit". Then I heard a male voice yell "Dont F this up!" In the other ear.

Put some KY on that!
 
The largest drain in the world? I never knew about this until someone posted the attached video. I drive by it every time i go to lake berryessa. Unfortunately, here is what it looked like yesterday, still impressive but not as cool. Not my video either but I wouldn't normally take footage of something like this anywy, it's fenced off for a reason and I'm not trying to cause any problems with the locals or incur a big fine.

@swatski I like your setup and was wondering what all your electronics are. I see it is the Raymarine Dragon 5 but was curious as to what was underneath it. Also did you have it professionally mounted.
Thanks [flag]
 
My youngest daughter completed her open water certification this weekend. She's all set to dive with Pops on our upcoming trip to Puerto Aventuras!!! I don't know who's more excited her or me!

That's a cellar spider. Poisonous but doesn't have enough teeth to penetrate our skin. Take a broom and spank his ass for being in your boat.

Repair clinic has low cost parts and quick shipping if you wanna handle it by yourself. My board and blower wheel went out beginning of the year and fixed it all myself.
 
I went ahead and bit the bullet to have someone come out.

On the plus side my fall off the bone ribs are done!!! :winkingthumbsup"

Happy 4th everyone! [flag]

As I walk up to my truck and trailer so I can pull my boat out of the river to head home I see this. I left them a kind message about blocking me in, the head back to the docks to find anyone sober enough to help me slid my trailer about a foot over. What can't be seen in the picture is another trailer to the left and a tree keeping me from backing up.

I hate it when people park cars where boats and trailers go at the ramp. :mad:

I'll take that over when I just got back from west end. Someone drove in and shattered my 4x8 bunk and hit my fender and blew out my tire and didn't even leave a note. That was an awesome welcome home from paradise party. Now I have to look into all the repairs I need to do.
