Good morning!!!!

I have never seen "the great outdoors" . don't know how I missed that one. Loved the clip.

Ever try one of these? Very satisfying SNAP when you connect, and if it doesn't kill the wasp/hornet/bee outright, it'll stun 'em good enough you can step on 'em or squish 'em with the rim of the racket.:thumbsup:

Too funny. Much cheaper than my tennis racket though.

I am an ace at serving up dead bees. I get the talk though when the wife finds them around the yard. LOL.

RipTides - I do EXACTLY the same - LOL... I have so many wasps and carpenter bees around my deck... I hate the carpenter bees challenging me on my own deck...

Be well,
David

I use an old badminton racket. I was really striking out a couple nights ago. Lol

Topps, I've been in Terry's shop (IIRC the name) in Houston. My buddies all had jet boats. I was smart enough to "let them have all the fun" while I just rode around or water skied....

Reminds me of a great old movie, The Great Outdoors with John Candy and his jetboat "Suck my Wake"
The Great Outdoors (2/1) Movie CLIP - Suck My Wake (1988) HD - YouTube

Currently there is only one last jetboat in my freinds inventory. A supercharged 460 Ford Eliminator from Riverside Ca. It will go an honest 80mph on GPS with 93 octane pump gas. It is in need of some berkeley pump work right now.

One time, while my buddy was doing some tuning on another jet boat engine, we were trolling along and just for grins I through out a lure and trolled while he fiddled with the timing and such. Hooked a 5 lb bass and reeled it in. We forever called that engine the "Deep Cycle Troll Motor".

While enjoying barley pops one evening, we tossed around an idea to make a TV show and decided to call it "This Old Jet Boat"....


Time to head to work. The Altima is working fine so far, so good.

Lenny, you and your wifey have a beautiful home.

Dabs, thanks for you and your son's service.

Hawkeye, you won't regret going to PEX, if the installation doesn't make you talk like a sailor too much.

Looking4new, I don't know how I would handle all the freeze/thaw cycles youz guyz endure.

Moss, you got it. Thank the Lord one day at a time, everyday.

God Bless all of you.

Don, I might look up that recipe.

Honestly, if they had one channel devoted to Baroque-era music and one devoted to progressive rock, I could probably live with just two channels.

Wholeheartedly agree! 250 channels and mostly nothing on! Deep Tracks or Classic Vinyl seem to get most of my time, but used to listen to some of the comedy channels until the comedians just started sounding dumb instead of funny. Once in awhile I'll drop into CNBC but these days it doesn't take long to realize that none of the commentators can say with any accuracy what's going on, let alone why or what the consequences, business wise, will be. Still, satellite radio is the best entertainment I've found for long distance travel, so I keep reupping the subscription...

My 454 was actually a 468 after the machine shop got done, it would consistently show 525-528 h.p. With a the N20 using medium jets it would dyno at 640-645, depending on temps in the dyno room but it was too rich out of the cool water. We didn't have GPS on boats back then, but the DNR radar had it at 78 mph in the 6 mph limit at the Whitehaven Ferry. That motor in a good prop boat hull would have run 10 mph faster, jets were a blast but not the most efficient.
That is a great movie!

69°F and .19 inches rain

Our young cat is proving his worth. Nightly, he gets 1 or 2 of our invasive coqui frogs. The fact he prefers to play floor hockey before they expire doesn't exactly please the wife. She's less pleased that he is also reducing our gecko population. Last night was something of a high point when he brought in an apparently well fed rat. I was able to isolate him in my office which has its own exterior door. Check about 10 minutes later and they were gone. About 20 minutes later he comes in the doggy door carrying his now deceased prize. Wife not thrilled. LOL
THIS KITTEN IS A KEEPER
Off to Hilo, breakfast with wife. Take Kekoa to vet for last round of puppy shots.
Be safe.
Have a great day.

They work on Pine Beetles, too. I have two of those rackets, one stays in the big truck with me all summer. Mine co$t me a lot more than the HF one though.

I have to make a correction, the shop in Houston is Mike's Pump and Speed.
