It's all quiet on the western, eastern, northern, and southern front
here! Just C.Bill, JPS, Yukon and W1TEF (is that shorthand for amateur radio?)... Got out on the boat this past weekend for the last time this year. Caught no fish, possibly because we just rode around and brought no bait. Saw a boat I wouldn't mind having, a Hunt 29. Deep vee, nicely finished and looks fast. |

Live shrimp certainly was a bait of choice for inshore and ICW fishing when we lived in Florida. Used to be able to buy a dozen really nice-sized shrimp for a $1.25 at many local bait shops if you didn't feel like cast-netting for bait. I've caught reds, flounder, catfish, sharks, snappers, whiting (one of my favorite fish to eat) and, in fact, just about anything fishy that swims in Florida waters on live shrimp. Used to have some pretty interesting "shrimp runs" on the St. Johns River near a place called Doctors Lake. Might be 100 small boats out there during the runs, bringing in nets full of shrimp to take home and eat. |

Very nice, and I'm sure they run well in rough water. Hey...buy one and I'll drive up for a test ride! |

Deep vee, nicely finished and looks fast. On Saturday I jacked up the axle of my Princecraft so I could put blocks beneath the rear trailer frame. Now the weight is off the springs and wheels. Today I ran some Sta-Bil enhanced gas through the 25 hp Johnson while spraying fogging oil in the carb. Next I removed the sparkplugs and sprayed the fogging oil there plus over the metal parts under the cowling. I found my gear oil container nearly empty.... but I drained the old out and pumped the container dry replenishing it. I was a few ounces short but I'll wait until spring before topping up the last bit. Tomorrow I'll take the summer cover off, remove the battery and put the winter tarps on. |

For boaters, winter up north...sux! :) I've got my winter outdoor project ahead of me: I hope to start building my deck about the second week of December and finish it up before the New Year. The concrete is supposed to be poured on either Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, depending on the weather. I'll seriously consider playing with my carpentry tools in early December. My decking lumber (the Ipe, not the structural lumber) is supposed to be delivered about the first week of December. Weather permitting, I'll have the structure up just before the first of the year. Maybe. Fortunately, I have room in the garage to stack and store the lumber, so "shrinkage" will not be a problem. |

Anywhere from St. Augustine Inlet up to Georgia, just offshore and in the inlets. You can catch 'em by casting light tackle from the beaches. My favorite place to catch whiting was in Nassau Sound, north of Jacksonville. Beautiful scenery on shore, sandbars, deep channels between the bars, and lots of whiting. I used very light spinning tackle to catch them. |

Today I ran some Sta-Bil enhanced gas through the 25 hp Johnson while spraying fogging oil in the carb. Next I removed the sparkplugs and sprayed the fogging oil there plus over the metal parts under the cowling. I found my gear oil container nearly empty.... but I drained the old out and pumped the container dry replenishing it. I was a few ounces short but I'll wait until spring before topping up the last bit. Tomorrow I'll take the summer cover off, remove the battery and put the winter tarps on. For boaters, winter up north...sux! :) I've got my winter outdoor project ahead of me: I hope to start building my deck about the second week of December and finish it up before the New Year. The concrete is supposed to be poured on either Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, depending on the weather. I'll seriously consider playing with my carpentry tools in early December. My decking lumber (the Ipe, not the structural lumber) is supposed to be delivered about the first week of December. Weather permitting, I'll have the structure up just before the first of the year. Maybe. Fortunately, I have room in the garage to stack and store the lumber, so "shrinkage" will not be a problem. Are you hoping to finish it before the New Year or are you going to have the structure up, weather permitting, before the first of the year? This is beginning to "sound" suspicious. Why do you think lumber that would shrink outside wouldn't shrink in your garage? Treated lumber shrinks - always. KDAT will help but it will still shrink.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - "Shrinkage" is a term used in retail business, it refers to pilferage. He's afraid somebody in his neighborhood will steal his 2x4's.. ;) You are defining the word properly. I'm not really worried about theft, although in this day and age, anything is possible. By stacking the wood in my garage, though, it remains dry and secure. I suppose I could pull a tarp over the wood to keep the snow off it, if it snows, but that's a pain in the ass. It's easier to work with these materials if they are clean and dry. Some of the materials I ordered are fairly expensive, relative to the other materials. Reply: If it is cold out, make sure you put large spaces between the boards when installing. Look at the install notes regards temperature. The install notes suggest 1/8" gap between decking boards. I'll be using clip fasteners that don't show from the top. This is the supplier: http://www.ipeclip.com/ check the gap at freezing temps, or ask Trex. There is a large temperature expansion coeff. |
