    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Spent the afternoon yesterday getting my son in law's old snowmobile and trailer going. He needs to stop by the car wash after a day on the salty roads and rinse things off. The throttle cables were seized up not allowing the carb sliders to go down all the way. Tore the carbs apart and the...

    What about Bob

    Welcome, my intro would be very similar. Married almost 42 years, 3 grown kids, 5 grandkids with their cat, dog, and chickens. I also love to garden and have a good batch of fruit trees. I also have way too many projects. As an engineering manager I deal a lot with mechanical folks that do what...

    Utah Senate Bill 51, and what it really says about Vintage Vehicles

    I got a fairly quick response. I don't know if he read what I sent but this what he replied back with: Thank you for the information. Stay tuned for an updated proposal based on input I am receiving.

    Utah Senate Bill 51, and what it really says about Vintage Vehicles

    I have two vintage plated Jeeps. When I had them plated with regular plates I had to have them tested at the county facility every year because they don't have the factory motors in them. Every year they passed with flying colors because both Jeeps have newer engines in them with the appropriate...

    Ice fishin'

    You drill a hole for it. I wish it worked through the ice then trolling around looking for fish would be lots easier. One of the advantages to the locator is that you can see your jigs on the screen along with the fish and arrange a meeting of the two.

    Ice fishin'

    Sonar is a big help finding them under the ice, and it feels like I'm blind when my son steals my sonar to go look in another hole. If the fish are on the bottom you don't need one but if they are suspended you'll waste a lot of time finding them.

    Hunting Season Opened for us

    My son and I have tried two times to chase those devil birds. The first time we found them but they flew when we got 250 yards from them and we could never find them again. The next time we found nothing. Lots of good exercise but nothing to show for it. Your young pup looks just like one we had...

    Ice fishin'

    That looks like a great setup but I wouldn't want to haul all that stuff or set it up.

    ProSource drill

    I've already taken the battery pack apart. It says 18V on it and has Ni-Cd cells in it (and some of those look bad). My guess is that the drill isn't worth putting too much $ into it. If I could find some cheap parts it might be worth fixing it up.

    ProSource drill

    My son found a ProSource cordless drill and a Makita charger in a car at the junk yard and bought them. The charger needed a power cord fix which I have done but the drill's battery is dead and the charger doesn't work for it. I have looked all over to find out info on the drill but it doesn't...

    What are your retirement plans?

    I am in the over 65 age group and can attest to the importance of enjoying life when you are younger and can do it. I would retire in an instant but my wife has just wrapped up cancer treatment and keeping her insured is a must. Hopefully she has it behind her since retiring alone isn't...

    Ice fishin'

    We did really well for perch there last year but where we fished last year is almost out of the water.

    Ice fishin'

    I decided to try my luck at Rockport yesterday. I found the ice to be inconsistent on depth. It was 2.5 inches of clear with 1.5 inches of frozen slush in the areas where there was no snow. I tried a couple of spots where there was snow and there was only about one inch of ice. I did try my luck...
