Not bad for 6:30am

I saw this huge gap as I tested fitted the window frame from a 2017 240 on my 2010 242 (long story short, the driver’s side windshield shattered, it costs $1,300 at the dealership and another $500 to install, I salvaged a glass set from a 2017).

looks like I’m going to cut the 2017 top and bottom frame rails such that I will only use the forward facing glass pieces. Customized or ghetto-tized, I’m not sure but I plan to keep the 2010 parts and bite the bullet on new a new driver’s side window, just not this season. It’s not about the money, it’s about the time.

A little fiberglass work and you can fair that in.

Hey, why not? Yamaha builds them that way...gaps you can stick your hand out of. You could modify to look something like this.

Looks like it’s going to be the year or the grasshopper.. I probably had 50+ on my pool screen this morning.

We bought some milkweed and found four caterpillars on it. Tried to hatch in mason jars and managed to hatch one monarch. I took the plant from the lani outside and about two weeks later there were 15 more caterpillars. We took them to our property’s butterfly garden. Hopefully they will do well. Looks like a good year for monarchs

My wife got in the butterfly kick one year and hatched over 100 Swallowtail and Monarchs.
What i found crazy was some didn't hach from their cocoons. She waa told to put in refrigerator till spring. Then put in the butterfly cage and they all eventually hatched. Such an amazing part of nature.
I bet she bought 400 bucks worth of milkweed that year. Those little buggers can decimate a plant quickly

 

[Ericd]

Lol. The Admiral said she paid $4 for the plant. It was ok for the first four. The following 15 ate all the leaves cept one, which is why we took them to garden. It was fun!

Grass is coming in nicely. Another really good aerate and heavy overseed this fall and I'll be good from there to just maintain it.

Actually my modification looks a lot like that, just better IMHO.

Good luck. It’s like a car that needs polishing but it fucks itself up every couple days.

I hate throwing newish broken stuff away without knowing what broke. This emergency electronic flare stopped working and I balk at buying another @$90. There is a revised model out now. This is probably why they redesigned it.





I took it apart and connected the bulb directly to the batteries. It worked. So the weak link is the negative connector that runs up the handle to the bulb. A little white vinegar in the glass for cleaning and a strip of sand paper. Will finish up with a dab of dielectric grease.



It works now.

did you solder a new negative on there or just clean it up ?

It'll need constant maintenance, but shouldn't need scorched earth and restart like it did going from Bermuda to Fescue.

Just cleaned it up with white vinegar and a strip of sandpaper. Finished off the connection where the spring clamps onto the long strip with dielectric grease.



I have had this tube since 1996, when I had a new 8’ Fisher plow put on a new GMC 2500. Outlasted the truck and plow.

My partner and I made the 10 team shootout with a $3000 purse this Sunday. This was one of the most nerve racking things I have ever done! The shoot out is the "party" after 2 days of head to head competition in the member/member tournament. 10 teams go back to #15 and play alternate shot, 3 teams get eliminated on #15, 3 teams eliminated on #16, 2 teams eliminated on #17, then 2 teams compete on #18. My buddy and I made it to #17 and got eliminated. What the pic doesn't show is the couple hundred people lined up on the fairway to the left and behind us! All the players and some spouses line up and start drinking to watch the shoot out. I've never had to hit a shot in front of this many people!!! Thought my heart was going to burst standing over a couple of these shots and putts. The pics are of my buddy getting ready to hit his approach shot and the other is just a shot looking down #15 fairway. We were on the golf course from 10:30 am to 7:45 pm. What a crazy ride.

Good day in the Estero Bay. Caught some jacks, pompano, everyone’s favorite cats, a couple of puffers and others. That is until the dolphin decided to follow us around! Also saw a manatee, but he didn’t want to pose for pictures.

Been trying to spot (and get a picture of) a wood duck, actually in the woods, for a few years now. Finally spotted a couple this morning, about 20' up in a tree...
