Gaslamp district? Neat area now that it's been renovated. I'll definitely take you up on that offer, Brent. It won't be Pat's best because they don't know how good it is down here, so we'll have to improvise. Don

OK, then go to the site, right click the picture and save it as a .gif file, Brent. You owe me a tall cold bottle of Pat Anderson's Best 'cause I saved you the cost of a camera and software. Oh, you said "pictures" not picture. Oh well. Warren's probably got the best solution. Don

Well, first you need the charger. :wink: Don

We were priviliged to meet Phil here in San Diego when he was down on a promotion for "Deadliest Catch" Even got a pix of him with arm around Spousal Unit. As Jeff said, he will definitely be sorely missed. Don

I understand your pain in the east. Was stationed near DC when just a foot hit the city. They aren't prepared for anything major and neither are my relatives on the shore in NJ. Plumber stepson has worked 14 days straight and problems still rolling in. As for us? Well, tonight we're due for...

Uh, I think you will find that had the forward facing seat been developed by Les Lampman, it would be called the "Lampman chair" Or maybe even the "Lamp post." Our very own Mike Barber, AKA TyBoo, AKA The Ancient Twitter developed the original one. The year the Jenny B was built was the first...

Speak for yourself, Charlie. Congratulations, John & Camille. You may have another new Brat to bounce ideas off if a relatively new lurker has a successful trip to Portland today from down here in San Diego.... Looks like the market for C-Dorys is still relatively strong. You two made a...

I agree with your grandfather. After the personal experiences with Red Cross and the scandal here in San Diego (They collected donations marked specifically for the fires we were hit with but spent it elsewhere on less important "stuff") I'd rather start a fire with $$ kindling than give to the...

I think I have a Firefox problem. Strange error message follows: :cry Don

Hold on there, young nephew. On Demand is a big advantage in that you can basically call your order in and receive it within two weeks, only ordering for current demand. I doubt if it will be quite that convenient when outsourcing to China. We did, however, investigate a few good old 'Merican...

One also has to look at what other distractions were going on. What wasn't mentioned in the article was the fact that the accident occurred during the annual San Diego "Parade of Lights". Literally dozens of boats brightly lit with Christmas lights and decorations in the parade itself and many...

Since Spousal Unit became a published author as of 12/16/09, as her main support I can give you a few pointers we've gleaned from her 5 year odyssey. Just an overview. As a first time author, investigate self publishing. A good book: Dan Poynter's self-publishing manual. If you do decide to...

I've bought (and sold) some expensive stuff on Ebay. The Chevy 2500 Duramax I bought was located in LA but the owner was in Thailand. No problem. Payment was contingent on buyer inspection or buyer approved third party inspection. He flew back, drove it to my place, I approved and we drove...

I did something similar to Seawolf Joe's setup but replaced the hinge bolts with removable pins so when it wasn't needed I could stow the ladder easier. I also placed it on the port side such that I could flip it in and lay it down on the bow without interfering with anything. Easy install...

Full tanks and gear with a tandem axle trailer, the Jenny B weighed in at 4200 lbs. Smallest I towed it with was a 4Runner 6 cyl and had no problems, though I did slow down on 6+ % grades. Didn't have to slow down if towing with my Silverado HD Duramax or the Ford V10 Class C RV. Don

I think it was the Seatalk port since I don't recall there being two ports in the C series. I also powered the bus from the battery 12v system using a fuse and the plug that was part of the Lowrance fuel flow meter installation. Definitely no need for a separate dedicated power supply. In...

Initially I mounted the VHF just forward of the throttle, facing up and the radar hanging from the overhead mount like Boris's photo. I found I needed an external speaker up on the mount just to hear the VHF at reasonable volume level all the way to the stern and grabbing the mike was OK if I...

Not the E80, but yes, I have successfully connected the older C80 to a couple of NMEA2000 devices All the info is still on this site but after several days stuck in the high desert badland area north of Ocatillo CA, I'm still spitting dust and catching up, I ain't in the mood to find the thread...

I also remember a boat going over a little waterfall up in Alaska with nothing lost but some electronics and the owner's dignity. He has a video somewhere on here but I won't mention his name to protect what remains of that dignity. :mrgreen: Plenty have grounded. Intentionally and...

I weighed my C22 and trailer several times, always with topped off fuel and water but not much else and never hit 4500 lbs. Tandem trailer too. Towed it with a V6 Toyota 4Runner, a beast Silverado Duramax, and our V10 RV. I knew the boat was there with the Toy but it was totally controllable...
