  1. I can’t remember the name of the company because it was 5-6 years ago, but they were essentially like the Craigslist deal with a dude and a trailer, except they had a legitimate dump truck wrapped with graphics and 3 employees show up. It was way cheaper than the dumpster I was prepared to bring in. Added huge benefit was I just had to point at what I wanted trashed and they did everything.
  2. You can’t find dumbbells or weights right now in stores. Buy the book Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle. He has a full body primer workout to get you started.
  3. Noticed thujone’s book showed up in my kindle library today. I forgot I preordered it a long time ago.
  4. That dude deserves to go down for having bumpers out without reason. All joking aside. Looks like he was at anchor in rough conditions. My guess is rough water over the stern(probably too many on swim platform) flooded overcrowded boat to begin with. I’ve seen two go down because overloaded in bow +ballast+big wave over bow. So many ways to go down though.
  5. Those pics are awesome. Lucky dogs there
  6. Foil tape Curious what makes it a failure point? Is there some stress on the pipe besides exhaust pressure? I’d be looking for some way to solve the problem and prevent it from happening again.
  7. That is just stupid. That’s getting close to Pavati ballpark. If that’s the budget, what idiot chooses a nautique
  8. I have all sorts of tubes, but they rarely get used by us unless I have a group along who don’t know how to do anything else and no time to teach. My kids all started on an airhead ez ski. Always was intrigued by the Zup, but never got one.
  9. I watched the whole thing go down, captain and his buddy were most likely intoxicated. Buddy gets dropped off to back down trailer, does not do well and trailer is not only way too deep, but off the ramp(check photo and tou can kind of see water drops showing line trailer came out of water on. Captain wasn’t paying attention to buddy’s poor back down and didn’t realize trailer was off ramp, pulls boat straight on behind tow vehicle and leans over bow and straps boat on. I knew at this point he was def not on trailer and I was about to see some action! I was actually in the water with a noodle floaty and beer and yell to wife to get the phone out. Sure enough he signals to pull the boat out and it start to tip off trailer toward port, captain realizes his predicament and dives to starboard side and saves boat from tipping off. He stays in this position while tow vehicle driver is completely unawares anything is wrong. A few good samaritans on ramp start pointing and gesticulating for driver to back it down and get the boat floating again. They finally did get it on correctly with help.
  10. Watching the ramp is a favorite pastime of mine. This one was a couple years ago, may have already posted it. Shitty quality because zoomed in to the max. Dude was extremely lucky boat remained on trailer. I’m sure all kinds of shit was fucked up on it though.
  11. I’m not going to get in on the debate, but my personal experience of a Texan visiting Colorado is that the people are much more hostile to Texans in the past 5 years, or so, than ever before. Grew up going multiple winter/summer trips a year with family to parents vacation home. Now take my family once year for ski trip. You can run into some genuine assholes just because you are from Texas. Weird. The tourism dollars texans(and others) bring to their state kinda is a big deal, if they were smart they would practice some self awareness and maybe campaign to treat visitors a bit nicer. My experience.
  12. Never know unless you try. If it’s optioned out nice, I think it doable. glad I’m not trying to buy one right now.
  13. 90ish
  14. That’s awesome. But missing a couple bikini clad hotties and cooler of beer.
  15. I’ve been tempted to sell because, unbelievably to me, I could make a lot of money on the boat I bought 3 years ago and have put 100 hours on. Problem is I’d be without a boat and it is only thing keeping me sane this summer. I think I might sell in another month if getting is still good
  16. An oven would be on a different circuit than outlets. So intermittent problems with multiple circuits. My guess is intermittent problem with incoming power, most likely one leg down. Is there any other 240v circuits in the home? Do they also go out when this happens? Call the power company.
  17. Daaang Impressive that dude got up from the car attack. Was hoping he’d beat the shit out of guy. May be just adrenaline and dude was seriously injured
  18. That is not real. Can’t be. Is there a doctor in the house
  19. What a bunch of cocksuckers. Team manta ray
  20. Very nice! Tell them to stop being cheap and put a cover on your spare tire
  21. I have no idea either, but I’d think as long as boat has ballast, it would be capable of creating a surf wave. The jets might blow back and destroy any clean wave generated since it is twins and jet off center. Dunno
  22. Daaaamn! Had to look into it to see if he dead. Surprised he merely broke both legs.... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_Circus#The_Nitro_Crew
  23. Angel Resendez aka Railroad Killer says hi
  24. Got to have the fine eats. I have base mount on swim platform for pedestal and magma kettle grill. Nice to take a swim break and throw something easy on grill. Packs up nice in grill bag when not in use
  25. Love that
