"Skid-Steer" is actually the slang name of the product, regardless of
the mfg. But then again Logging equipment like the type made by Timberjack Co. is also called a skid-steer. When it's actually a "Log Skidder" go figure. Like it seems everybody calls and adjustable wrench a "Cresent" wrench, because Cresent Tool came up with the idea, or at least stole somebody's patent.... A Starter "Bendix" is actually an "Overrunning Clutch Pinion" but Bendix designed the first one and it's easier to say. "Vise Grips" for locking pliers. etc etc you get the picture... Oh yeah, a "Bulldozer" is actually a large rubber tired bucket loader. But almost everybody gived that name to a "Crawler tractor" (CAT) JohnH wrote: On Fri, 28 Apr 2006 21:47:26 GMT, Don White wrote: JimH wrote: "JohnH" wrote in message ...

Is your boat in the water yet?
Jimmy,
It looks like you decided that your request for "lively" political conversation" was not the correct decision. It is nice to see you doing a good job of netcopping. " JimH" jimh_osudad@yahooDOT comREMOVETHIS wrote in message ... "Mule" wrote in message oups.com... Answer: I am heading out to my boat to start putting the epoxy barrier coats. Yesterday I prepped the bottom by washing it down with Interlux 202 solvent, sanding it w/80 grit and washing it down again with the solvent. I need to put on at least 3 coats of the epoxy. After that I will be putting on a coat of bottom paint, fixing some boo-boo's with an OEM gelcoat kit, washing the boat, waxing it, installing a new thermostat and putting it in the water. I will then still need to install my new helm seat and the new bimini. How about you Mule? Is your boat in the water yet? |
