I won't say where, but the guy "riding" the sturgeon, standing up on top of the pool table, is a fire chief making his first Sturgeon spearing weekend. That was his Sturgeon Virgin dare

 

[drewkaree]

And here was his steed! Someone else speared it, but this was the biggest we saw all day. 76.5", 155 lbs, and it was speared on Lake Winnebago, which is quite an accomplishment for that size lake. Once in a lifetime experience for the woman that got that monster!

Friday, one of my neighbors had his car fall through. 86 years old, he made it out alive, got a chance to talk to him about it. He said it all happened so quickly, and if his window wasn't down, he felt like he might have been trapped, maybe dead

That thing on the right side of the open ice is a late 90's Chevy Trailblazer. He was able to get out and on top of the roof until someone came by and was able to rescue him

Who's gonna be the first to put one of these on a wake tower?!? Ladder towards the swim platform......honestly doesn't sound like a terrible bad idea.

As a duffer I hesitate to offer any golf tips, but I will…lol.

A short drive on the fairway is often way better than two boomers that end up OB or in trap/water.

Try dialing back your swing by 1/3 or more to gain accuracy. Also, you can go up a club to offset some distance.

Here in Florida we have a great fairway roll.

Have fun and enjoy yourself!

Honestly, my short game isn't terrible. I hit a 5-Iron and down fairly OK. I putt decently, and can usually 2-putt a green once I'm on. My tee shots are almost always WAY right despite having a solid 250yd+ carry to them. Only had about 3-4 really "good" tee shots yesterday. One of those was a 6-iron I hit onto the green on #4.

I think I lost 6 balls yesterday. Which is probably the best round I've played ever. Most were lost off the tee, a few were lost into the woods on the right (It's always the damn right), and 2 went in the water

With my neck problems I'm likely going to be doing less Mt-Biking and more golfing. I'm considering getting some lessons and a club fitting. I'm playing with a $45 craiglist set of "Cougar" brand clubs now. At 6'2" tall, I'm right on the cusp of when you start looking at needing non-standard shaft lengths. Between never really having lessons, and having some cheap clubs I suspect there are more than a couple strokes to be found from those efforts (the lessons more than the equipment).

*EDIT*

Can you guys see this?!?!

Garmin Connect

connect.garmin.com

Has a lot of info on the round.

I don't see where it's counting my penalties. Those were counted anytime I moved the ball more than a few inches, or lost the ball. I'm out there to have fun, so if I KNEW I had to hit through trees, or some other equally low chance of success I would pitch the ball a few feet to get around the obstacle. Again, more interested in having fun than being a rule follower

One of the young bald eagles was on a lower branch in my neighbor's yard this morning. The white feathers are starting to come in, but takes about five years to get that full white head...

My uncle lost his truck in the ice several years back on Lake Erie. Shockingly, the insurance company covered it as a total loss. They said because it had the Z71 off road package it was meant to be driven off road and that’s the only saving grace.
glad your neighbor is OK. Very scary!

Dude.....I did that on vacation back in November. I needed like 250yrds to clear the water. I hit it like 248.9 or something. Didn't have to get my feet wet to retrieve it with my hand.

We're learning bachata here in Social Club Academia in Medellin (the class is in Spanish so I'm learning Spanish too). The instructors dance at the end so we can record it and not forget the steps. I don't think its hard, but my partner says that I need to improve lol About the place, it's an interesting location because it's below a highway. But great vibes, food, drinks, and after the classes are a lot of different music and people dancing.

That little lobe or decompression lobe usually stays up or out via spring tension until the engine starts and then centripetal force stows it. If the spring broke then it would not be deployed…. If the valve lash is excessive it will not work either.

If the lash is increasing that is caused by wear. That smacks of poor lubrication, might want to revisit which oil you are using, but valves getting loose is better than them getting tight which is what most motors do. Tight valves usually result in bad starting at first since they are not sealing all the way, and burn valves later on..

The slow cranking is most likely a weak battery…. Try pulling it out and charging it with a proper charger first, the onboard charger may not being bringing it up to full charge.

Just got to be sure the cylinder is on TDC on the compression stroke to assure that you set the valves correctly.

a follow up and hopefully not to revisit this issue again,

after adjusting the valves it still would not begin to crank, I let the battery charge for two days, just happened to try it as I was walking past and it cranked (not super fast) just enough to fire the engine,

after days of thinking of buying a replacement engine, tearing this one apart to see what was wrong, I stopped by a local shop and the mechanic said he sees about 10 of these engines a year and only 1 has a decompression spring problem, it's not as common as the internet makes it seem,

with that I bought a new DB electric hi-torque starter (the old one would crank what seemed like pretty fast with no spark plugs in)

20 minutes to install and it cranked over really fast and fired then engine right up!
