Anyway, here's a snap of Yo Ho's business end. I'm waiting for
the shrinkwrap guy to show up this week. Wrapping the exhaust
after the motor drains is part of the winterizing process. I've
got to spend a few minutes removing the rust from the prop and
repainting it. One of these days I'll find a prop paint that
actually stays on the blade tips. *:)

Why paint a stainless prop? Surface rust on 304 SS is normal ... if
you don't boat a lot. It really isn't hurting anything. If I am
out of
town for a few weeks and not boating I see a little on mine. It
buffs
right off after an hour or so of running
Yeah, it does come right off while running. I never gave it much
thought. But I'll still clean it off and coat the prop before the
shrinkwrapper arrives.

Actually, coating stainless promotes rust. Stainless loses it's rust
resistant properties when deprived of oxygen.

Hmmm. Okay...I'll clean it off and not coat it!

I guess that is why I have never seen people paint their SS props. *
Most people are smart enough not to paint them. * I am glad you
learned something in this post. *You get to do your normal trolling
(the real reason you come here) and you inadvertently actually
learned something.

GPUAR, Reggie.

Shouldn't you be outside taking blurry, blown out photos and then
painting your SS prop?

GPUAR, Reggie. And why not post a photo that shows nature as she is,
Reggie? Certainly an asshole like you can't improve upon it.- Hide quoted text -

Man, you sure are jealous, Harry!

Harry,

I don't believe in the philosophy that a photo should capture exactly
what you saw. I follow the philosophy that a photograph should capture
what you felt.

After looking at your photographs that capture what you saw, I strongly
recommend you quickly find an optometrist.

It's just not that big a deal, guys. Really. Go boating, or, in the case
of FloridaJim, pretend you have a boat.


No, no. We are all concerned with your prop. You have a steel prop? What
kind of steel? Stainless steel?
What grade of Stainless steel?

This is serious. If that steel prop is rusting already, you might get
stranded 50 yards offshore in the Bay.
What else is rusting?

Do you carry a spare prop in case of an emergency?

It's a Yamaha.

Probably carries a spare engine for those circumstances. :)

Which brings up an interesting point - I carry a spare prop, but last
summer it occurred to me that I've never tried to change it in the
middle of the lake.

Guess what - I can't. It's too far back for me to reach in the fully
tilted up position.

It's so nice being the object of affection of so many right-wing pieces
of ****. Like you.

You weren't aware of that? Seriously? I carry a spare prop, but I
figure it is going to be changed on shore or from someone else's boat. I
saw a guy do it while swimming in the water offshore of Jax, or at least
he was finishing up the job. Didn't see the whole thing being done.

Perhaps if you were sober...

Your photoshopping stands out more than your photos. Which is why I
think they suck. Some of the compositions would be interesting if the
lighting were realistic.

You show us your nature as it really is, ad nauseam. It ain't a pretty
picture. Raw, without a point of focus, unbelievably overexposed, lax
composition, and in general, offering nothing of interest to the audience.
If ever there was a reason to hit the delete button...

I don't think you can call me a right-wing piece of ****. I voted for
Obama, so maybe you should just change it to "a piece of ****". Have
you ever thought about talking to a professional about your belief that
everyone finds you their object of affection?

I have never been delusional that my photography or my post processing
would put me in the category of the Masters of Photography. I do hope
I learn something everyday and continue to improve, which is why I enjoy
critiques. I take a lot of photos that I just delete, I take some that I
really like, and sometimes others like too. I figure if I take 12 great
photos a year, that is a good crop.

Now if all I did was go out and take a snapshot, I would sell my camera.

It is your simple understanding of basic photographic guidelines that
makes your photographs so interesting.
