President Proudly Supports Bill Reversing Presidents Own Unconstitutional Over Reach – WHAT?!

President Proudly Supports VETO PROOF BILL that reverses presidents own explicit overreach of power. “Bullshit. You just got overwhelmingly shot down, and now you want to try and take credit for doing the right thing after being forced to do the right thing against your will. ” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/white-house-confirms-biden-will-sign-bipartisan-bill-reversing-his-own-admin-s-crackdown-on-hunting/ar-AA1hp1Mw?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=c649b34a70f74861a96df3a6bf6cb89b&ei=11#image=AA1gn0Uq|1

I sent the very first Hex Worm mold home last night with the fishing buddy I fished with all summer. I told him to make some baits in his favorite colors and send me some pictures I could post. He fished with them this morning, and he was crazy excited about it. He said he…

That is one sexy header pipe… (picture) (updated: Sept 16th 2023)

This is a 2:1 header for a Harbor Freight Predator 670.  I don’t know how much I’ll modify the engine, but if you follow along with posts and videos about Bar Hopper you will learn as I do.  It’s my understanding that I’ll need to reject the HF stock carburetor immediately after installing (or during…

NOT AFTER ITS BEEN OPENED – 10 Year Old Flotation Foam

Some of you might remember this test of 10+ year old 2 part flotation foam? I originally posted this video 2 years ago.  I can tell you that while it might have been fine after 10-12 years on the shelf unopened, when I opened it today to actually start pouring some foam into Whisker Seeker…

Below is an old rant worthy of reposting. If you don’t want to read a rant stop when you get to *** RANT MODE ON *** below. Sometimes people surprise me. A while back an old Yuma Bass Man member (there is no membership anymore) gave me an old trolling motor to do with what…

Re: Carry Across State Lines!! This was in the (Massachusetts State District Court), so it has no bearing anyplace other than Massachusetts.

VIDEO: Jarred tends to overstate the points, but this is interesting regarding the right to carry across state lines. This case is in regards to two states that DO NOT have reciprocity agreements.

Holeshot & Ride

Hole shot generally refers to how long it takes your boat to go from displacement to plaining speed.  For most plaining hulls the best hole shot is accomplished by trimming the motor/outdrive all the way down, and going full throttle as quickly as possible.  Push the throttle all the way to the stop very quickly…

2005 Mercury 50 ELPTO Fuel Line T – Another Boat Project That May Never Gets Finished…

It can be really frustrating working on outboards sometimes. In this case I was replacing the fuel lines on the outboard for “The Tin Can.” I’m thinking I might use it on “Whisker Seeker” since the outboard that came with Gary’s boat was always a bit undersized for it. Whisker Seeker is rated for 60,…
