    Keeping the ice off my decoys

    Yeah, don't use very many. If it's sunny, use dark dekes. E-Allens seem to ice up the least of mine.

    Pain in the neck

    It's just like making a funny face...if you do it long enough it will stick that way. Most of the old prolific carvers ended up with hunchbacks. You may have to go with a fordom and get the work down and out onto your lap...at least for some of the work. Try getting your painting up in front of...

    Holy Snot-Sickles Batman!

    We all should have tossed in and bought some Orange juice futures. I sneezed myself awake yesterday morning about 4 am and my frikken nose has been non stop dripping ever since. It was -15 out all morning and I was wishing it would freeze the drips...my nose is RAW from blowing it. Had a CT scan...

    Holy Snot-Sickles Batman!

    -15 here last night...about -2 right now and sunny. We are supposed to have 20-30mph gusts tonight and tomorrow. I hate wind.

    More on Props: Can Aluminum Props be rebuilt?

    Well, kinda....The weak link is the rubber hub, if it doesn't give then the blades have to....which won't happen on a stainless. Small motors have pretty weak gears in the lower. I think anything under a 35 shouldn't have a stainless prop and am not sure of any performance gain by using one...

    More on Props: Can Aluminum Props be rebuilt?

    I'd be afraid of a stainless if I routinely smacked hard objects. They are nice for getting everything out of the motor because of no flex but I'd rather have a blade pop off than a shaft break or gear chip.

    Question on Mottled Duck

    Burden of proof is on the state. They have to prove that it is a hen mallard if that is what the charge is. You just have to create a reasonable doubt.

    Another Prop Question: 4 Blades VS. 3 Blade?

    You want a 4 blade prop so bad you can taste it...buy it and let us know how it works! ;) all being equal you will get a bit more drag with the extra blade.

    Follow up to the Prop Question: 18 HP on a 1548?

    Carl, I had a 1750 MV Monark that would plane empty with a 9.9 Honda. My 25 Mariner pushed it at 27mph. It was a riveted hull but was pretty heavy.

    I have had good luck with Midwest Propeller. They are big in the repair business and you talk to a human.

    Another Prop Question: 4 Blades VS. 3 Blade?

    Carl, your owners manual should have some guidelines in it for propping. Also, if you look at your motor specs, it will say something like "18hp @ 5500 rpm" or " wot @ 4400-5500rpm" this means you want your motor to be able to achieve this rpm pushing the load you have. Overloading the motor...

    Honker Bulkheads *HELP*

    Personally, I'd fit it to the bottom and add a strip on top...much less mess. I don't know how all you guys are getting perfect fit bulkheads by going with the lofting offsets. I had to fit my templates for every one.

    Another Prop Question: 4 Blades VS. 3 Blade?

    On small motors, you won't see any benefit with a 4 blade prop. Q: What is the advantage of a 4 or 5-blade prop as compared to a 3-blade? A: Most boats are equipped with a 3-blade prop from the factory. A 4-blade prop will usually give a boat a little better low-end power and handling...

    How do you pick a prop?

    There is a pretty good explanation on www.midwestpropeller.com . For every drop in pitch there will be about a 200 rpm raise . A lower pitch number will let your motor speed up quicker while pushing a heavier load..thus getting the power out of the motor instead of lugging it..which is almost...

    Mac finally got his sheep hunt essay done.

    I'm proud of you Mac, for waiting till the last second to write your story. You are a true "Guy". I also know those "hills" are really Michigan Mountains. Next year you will shoot a big ram out of one of those castles.

    It's 3:27 am, I cant sleep, how bout some pictures?

    Jode, it's Michelle. I always get buddy's wives names wrong and it puts me in the doghouse. No biggy as I am a frequent guest in the dog house... but I always imagine them spitting in my Chile when I am at their place.

    New ammo bill....

    Times .05 per round tax. That is serious money...plus whatever cost it takes to put it on a round. You could put the Gettysburg address on a 22 bullet base by the way. I just love the info that you will have to have on file too...I am sure that no one will be stealing any identities off of that...
