Stubborn water line muck.. EZ clean off!!

Stubborn water line muck.. EZ clean off!!

I usually have to use that toxic, corrosive extreme cleaner stuff on my pontoons every fall but this year I tried something different and it worked!!!!! just figured I would share! This Ryobi scrubber cost me like 100 bucks a few years ago and this is the first time I used it on the tunes and the trick is to use it while the boat is still in the water that waterline muck is still somewhat soft and it easily scrubs off with this thing! I got probably 90% of it off easily!

The holy grail..

A long time ago I got this handy slide rule chart that compares the cost of fuels per BTU. It basically shows if for example you pay $4.58 per gallon of oil what the equivalent cost would be in pellets kind of cool. So you know for a fact, if you’re saving money and what the breakeven point would be because sometimes, if oil is cheap it’s actually cheaper than burning pallets. I’m not sure about the other forms of fuel because I have oil here. here’s a couple pics.

20+ years, 4 tons per year, my Harmon Acentra rocks! Question tho.. I recently started collecting high-end guitars and I’ve gotta keep my house at 40 to 50 humidity. Does an outside air kit really make a difference?!?!

My Father The Judge. A little fatter than the other My Fathers, and my other favorite, La AromaDeCuba MiaAmore Robusto. But def worth every penny. Rated in the mid to high 90s I believe Light smoke, light smooth flavor, tight roll, not a lot of after taste. Mmmm

After 4 solid years of service and 26k miles something finally happened. I finished charging at a rest stop and went to go leave and the truck just electrically locked up. All the error Messages displayed would not let me put it in drive or reverse. I tried a bunch of stuff to reset

I ended up calling for the roadside service four hours later. They finally showed up and towed it to the nearest Ford dealer. It is still under warranty thank God and my state has a 30 business day lemon law which means if they can’t fix it within 30 business days and its under warrantee I can file a claim and the dealer has to take the truck back. Not sure what I’m gonna do. Period such a disappointment. I just can’t own a vehicle that’s gonna randomly quit at any given time we were about 110 miles away from home. Totally sucks Anyone else have an issue like this? Hopefully it’s something simple but as you all know, it could be something very severe. My EV days could be done.

Junk, all I have to say is, junk.

Bought a new Bennington pontoon boat in 2019 with a new Merc 115. First couple years, the paint bubbled off the section between the motor and lower unit. Warrantee, had replaced, same thing happened, gave up. Last 3 years motor has been running like crap! Sputtering, chugging cutting in and out at about 5-6k RPMs Ridiculous! This is all within the first seven years of ownership! if it was a Honda, I wouldn’t even have to look at it for the first 15 years! Never buying a mercury again! Junk

Forced into the teladoc program

Anyone else been forced into the Teladoc program in order for the insurance to cover the prescriptions? I just started it, weighing myself and taking my blood pressure. It automatically gets uploaded to an app so they can monitor me all for the sake of lowering my prescription cost from 500 a month to 100 a month. Sucks but we’ll see if it works. I got off Wegovy a few months ago after being on it for a few years and the weight is coming back on fast! So I went to get back on that’s when they told me they wouldn’t cover unless I went to Teladoc

Personal photo screen saver

I have a LG TV prob like 74” or something like that. One of the things I like is the ability for any smartphone to airplay photos and videos. Love it! My question is, has anybody made a personal photo screen saver or repetitive slide show?!? Do I load thr photos on a stick?!? I think there is a pay service but I don’t really want to subscribe to something. Anybody have any knowledge ?!?
