It's not quite boat loving season yet, but it's getting close.

So you are only a boat lover when the boat is in the water?

That's what my kid said I haven't verified it

It could have been a small fire that didn't damage anything

 

[db1959]

my next weekend north will be April 16 & 17.
Miss K has her party on Sunday. We'll see how that works out

Remind us when it gets closer

Find any Morells today?

None, early and it's been cold.

Looking forward to my annual "morel meal". Morels and short cuts of steak sauteed in butter then put the heap on a toasted piece of french bread for a sandwich, serve with fried morels on the side like fries.

Isn't that the only time boats are enjoyable? It has to be hot and wet........

So I just moved a pile of papers on my desk and there is a letter from the BMV with "IMPORTANT! Registration Form Enclosed" staring me in the face. Oh oh.

Yes it is. I like the cut of your jib.

Sounds delicious! Better throw some onions in there too.

 

[KJQ6945]

Yes it is. I like the cut of your jib.

But, I don't even have a sailboat.

Hey this is a family friendly forum, take that stuff somewhere else

Why are you always throwing a spanner wrench into my thwart rib?

I thought I typed that with a non homosexual tone?

Speaking of.....I texted my boss today to tell him that we got the truck off the flagpole....only I forgot the "L" in flag. Yeah....

 

[red_zr24x4]

So I have 2 1911's same make and model 1 in 9mm 1 in 45, both shoot 6" low at about 20 yrds no matter what ammo I use.
Factory specs on the front sight say they are 0.180" tall according to this - https://dawsonprecision.com/sight-calculator/ I need to install 0.125" sights, That seems like a hell of a difference in sight hight.

 

[db1959]

you and me baby go hand in hand like a bowlegged woman and a knock-kneed man.

I had to take my flag pole down today, the old concrete at the base broke up in one of the dig winds we had last fall. I set the base in fresh concrete today.
I want to get my flag back up, and the POW flag I got for Christmas

Somehow, I was put in charge of the flag poles at work. I need to replace the tuck (rotating double pulley) but can not find one with the right thread to screw into the top of the pole. All sites I have seen have either a 1-1/1
4 or 1-1/2 NPT fitting. The one on the pole is and oddball. Its not pipe thread because the thread pitch is 12 and a 1.25 coupling slides over it.
