Saw this “Dippin Donzi” for sale locally, after seeing the price I call it Tripping Donzi (owner) but I saw several people checking it out this weekend so maybe it is priced “right”.

I’ve been seeing them for 15-20 in excellent/restored condition so 13k in fair/useable condition seems about right.
It’s a bucket list boat!

I'll tell you what I CAN'T see...the western shore of the lake that is just about a mile away. Smoke from the fires in Canada are making it tough to go outside here in central NY.

I bet this started as a loose cleat nut.

19' Yamaha jet boat decided to try dry land for a day. Looked like the bow rail popup cleat either couldn't take the strain or maybe hit the dock frame or decking. It snapped off. With the bow free,...

Since the body of the cleat is still attached to the boat it looks like either a manufacturing defect in how the pop-out part is attached, or the force exceeded the cleat’s rating/capability. (I don’t see any load rating on Attwood’s site.)

Crazy. The pictures don't do it justice. Visibility is less than a mile.

This happens a lot in South Florida when the Everglades are burning up. I love the look of the sun towards dusk and dawn with the smoke in the atmosphere. Are you close enough to get the ash falling?

No ash, luckily. But a ton of fine particles in the air that are rough on anyone with asthma or other respiratory issues. About a third of the people in the grocery store this morning had masks on. Probably a smart thing to do.

We have been in the same wind pattern as you for the last couple of days, though today that has shifted West and rain clouds are on us now.

Was hazy in Oshkosh all weekend but not quite as bad.

We are now been told the air quality is unhealthy on the eastern shore do Md.

We had our daughter, Hieka and my Niece visit for the weekend and went to Assateaque island to see the ponies and deer.

We used to take our 14’ duck boat and camp there at the state park. Can’t tell you how many horses chewed threw screen tents and damaged cars. At the end of the day, they are still wild animals. Great place to visit!

Fired up the pizza oven for the first time of the summer.

How’s that work for you? Looks like a good way to go…how do you store it when BBQing?

Off boat topic, but I have a general question. I have an outdoor TV and living in central Florida we have liquid air with high humidity. Is there a product I can spray or apply to my HDMI ports for hooking up my Firestick to my outdoor TV as my firestick is having issues grabbing a connection. I’m no electrician so I’m not sure what could work or could damage the TV or HDMI ports to help with the connection or rust issues I am seeing…
As always, everyone’s help is greatly appreciated!

There’s some electric contact sprays you could try on Amazon. Might start with WD-40. WD = “water displacement” 40 = number of attempts to find formulation.

Look for something called "conformal coating". I've used the spray version for a few things. I dunno how it would work for your purposes, but after seeing that pic, there's no way it could be worse! LOL For your use, I might even consider opening up a TV and covering all the boards inside before putting it into service outside, but that's prolly a guaranteed warranty voider should anything go wrong down the road, even if it helped and wasn't the issue.

That would be for newer items without all that corrosion. If you unplug it, you could try naval jelly, but as with anything you're going to try, any of these things may hasten the demise of that TV. I'd go with the conformal coating if you end up getting a new replacement unit though.

No matter how many signs are posted people must find out for themselves. I have seen the ponies go into tents to get food, eat food campers leave on tables etc. I have also seen visitors take their young children right up to them to get pictures. I have even had a relative get kicked.. As you said they are still wild. Ponies.
