    Coast Guard doesn’t require display, that is a state requirement. That’s one of the reasons why most yacht owners opt for CG documentation vs. state even if they never plan to leave US waters. Sticking those ugly arse numbers on the bow is just rude.

    I get a giggle with the juxtaposition of how that Weimaraner did it vs how a Lab would. *SPLASH*

    Trust me, if you have done enough remodeling it’s totally understandable. Didn’t expect there to be anything in there. I’ve been doing a remodel my house that was built in the 70s. There are no drawings. Pretty much every time I open a wall I find stuff I didn’t expect to be there...

    The stereo equipment in the SubBase barracks at Pearl was awesome. Among other things it was the first and only place I ever saw a Nakamichi Dragon, and in 1984 that was the schnizzle. Because we didn’t have a dispersing office on the boat single enlisted guys could get 6 mo advance pay just...

    If I’m right and that’s a Swordfish, that outdated jalopy kicked butt on Axis floaty stuff and was quite arguably responsible for the Royal Navy actually catching and sinking the Bismarck. (they are lucky they never had to actually face fighter cover like in the Pacific, but still racked up...

    Did Subic to HK on a seagoing tug in Jan, 22 foot seas on the starboard quarter for days. Not sure of the actual sea state but when my SSN got run out of Hong Kong by a typhoon we were navigating on the surface rigged for dive and getting 80 ft depth transits in control. Ops upper level head...

    Powder charge, Compression, wad stack, alloy, lube, bullet size, casting in general…. yea, loading for bottlenecked cases with jacketed bullets and smokeless is simple by comparison. Paper patching anyone? Schuetzen is another creature. Never did it, used to shoot with two guys who did every...

    There is a whole ‘nuther world of shooting that is BPCR (black powder cartridge rifles) . It is way deeper than we can get into here. Winchester called them 45-70 or 45-110 etc, the purists call them by their Sharps designation e.g., Sharps 45-2 1/10 or Sharps 45 2-7/8 respectively. There are...

    That’ likely a line to pull stuff up. If you look he’s got a belt around the tree. I do the same thing to pull my saw up when I climb with gaffs.

    one Big problem with them is that they float for a long time with almost nothing above the water and cause hazards to navigation esp for fiberglass pleasure craft. In particular sailboats making passages.

    For less than $25,000 you can go out and buy a sport bike that performs up to probably 80% of what you see on the track whereas if you wanted that in a car you would probably have to spend six figures. Used you can get it for under $20k. The point being that performance is easily accessible and...

    7 Rem Mag - 7 WSM - 7-08

    I like 140 class bullets in my 7-08. I think if you want to run a 175 you need a bigger case(like your 280), esp in a hunting rifle. Velocity gives you hydraulic shock and expansion, and think both will be less than ideal with 175s. My 25” barrel runs 140s at 2900 fps+ (actually more like...

    More than one sailor has been killed by a powerboat on auto pilot. Generally vessel under sail to hold course so the power boat can predict course and avoid, and the power vessel is supposed to give way. The problem is that there is a point of no return there where the vessel under sail...
