Holding steady for now for me. Same job for last 20 years ,my last raise was 5 years ago, lost 35% total income from reduced overtime. My wife, after 13 years just lost her full time and benefits and a 30% pay cut to boot. I can take for now but, if it gets too tight, I'm booting the boat first...

Freedom of speech is great until you say something that someone else doesn't want to hear.

Did you ever hear the one about banning dihydrogen monoxide DHMO? It's known as water as well.

Dihydrogen Monoxide

And remember, no dissenting views allowed here. :wink This is the first I've heard of this, sounds interesting. Locally, our county was going ahead on a free wifi for all system. 3 citys were completed before the money ran out with the market crash. Oh, it was also privately funded by the...

Thinking back to what Da Nag said about getting the other half to ride, I tried that with my helper but, she said " I'm just happy to be a passenger". I even bought and restored this Yamaha some years back to hopefully teach her. It was perfectly her size. Sadly, I sold the bike to guy who...

I'm shocked. I've travelled the metro Detroit area for years and have never seen an abandoned / derelict boat. I've seen the remnants of 100 year old shipwrecks and unused boats in docks and drydock. I thought you had The Beachcombers over there. Where's Nick and Relic when you need them. Maybe...

Looks fast, it has a nitrous bottle. :wink

Between your new dock life and watching motocross on tv, I don't know what I want to do first this spring. Just got 2 inches of snow this morning. :sad BTW, gas is $3.42 today, was $3.55 2 day ago. Normally 20 cents more on the water around here.

Last year, 2 days after bringing my boat home from storage, someone climbed in the back of the camperback and took 2 new led flashlights, a Mag-Lite, and a crappy set of binoculars. About $120 loss. Luckily all of the other electronics have quick disconnet brackets and were in the house. We have...

Has anyone figured out a way to deduct their boating expenses as hobby expenses on their federal taxes? Could be a very healthy deduction for most of us.

Just a couple more quick thoughts. I've luckily haven't needed the crash bars on the pavement, but at least a dozen times off road. Good investment. Also beware of a website selling knockoff crash bars from China. The people at Happy Trails told me this the last time I ordered from them.

I'm getting antsy for spring too. I just finished ordering all of the led bulbs for my KLR.

Don't fish, lots of exploring, Beaver Island is a bit too far offshore for us. The farthest we've been is 10 miles and the water turned rough. Here's the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lijSRhP7JY

All but one have been sold and some pics are from the internet because I never took any pictures.

Foot pegs.

Well, there is a little bit of nasty language right at the moment I'm lifting the bike up. Sorry. You have to crank up the volume to hear it. If a bike falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, why bother yelling about it. It actually didn't hurt falling, only knocked the wind out of me...
