The No Wake Zone / What happened was........
« on: September 04, 2015, 10:50:06 PM »
Mike (Rivertard) and I talked a bit tonight, and after a vote, we decided we needed a standard form when addressing "significant others" interrogations on our earlier, albeit, they weren't present, behavior.

It was unanimous, and I'll give you it was just the two of us........BUT............ and feel free to cut/copy/paste into Word, Office, whatever you have to save your ass and fill in the blanks. The important part is to MEMORIZE IT.......THIS is gonna come in handy........


"What happened was.................___________________ _____ asked me to help him _______________________ You know I'd do anything for you or a friend, even if it was your brother. So I show up with my __________________ and there's ______________ & _______________ .

Makes things easier than I thought going into this, I thought.

Not exactly. _____________________  drags out a ______________________ and things went awry from there. I, personally did not partake of the _________________ But the second hand ________________________ had its effect on me, and I apologize for even being around it.

I was dying of thirst so I opened what I thought was a _________________   and here it was a ___________________  only after I chugged it did I realize my mistake. Three times, in point of fact, how dumb am I?  The ability to count was mute at this point.

I was recovering from that incident when I went back to ______________________'s truck to call you, left my phone there.

That's when I tripped on the kiddie pool. I didn't know it was full of ______________________ and naked women with cell phones who took pictures. Honest  mistake. Those girls didn't have much of a sense of humour, really.

The Glitter came from the back seat of ___________________'s truck. His daughter/grand daughter (circle one)  is into "Bedazzling" whatever the hell that is. Funny story, actually, he opens his window, glitter flew everywhere. Of course, due to earlier incidents, guess where the glitter stuck.

So to answer your question, No, I wasn't out drunken galavanting with  bunch of strippers/hookers, there's your logical explanation of things................"

Hope this helps.....

The No Wake Zone / So Pat says........
« on: August 12, 2015, 01:10:42 PM »
So Pat calls me last night. One of quite a few ( I won't name names Mike) over the last year or so, and I appreciate each and every one of you! Know this! And I don't think i've ignored any of You.

Reason it hit me is, yeah, I haven't been on the site or even Facebook for, what? 2 years (according to Pat..........and we KNOW he's a math genius.........)

Honestly, didn't realize it or time it. Two businesses, running all over Phoenix and Tucson and everything in between.......Got the "Sewer Pickle" still that we last ran at Big River 3 years ago......my lone survivor of all the floats I broke (Or burned, sold or/and sank). Happens to be Olds 455 powered, but the silly thing JUST WON'T BREAK!!

Anyway, Pat brings up the "Woodgrain Wonder" and we had a good talk for a couple of hours. At the end of which we decided we're going to do Big River before the end of the season. So I'm taking a "sabbatical" and making this happen sometime in September.

Going to fly my oldest daughter, and my grand daughter, in for this from North Carolina. The state with the highest deportation rate........Anyway, Becca and RJ probably wont be there, they're in college now.....explains my finances.....and we all know the little kids are the ones we have the most fun with anyway!

Right now, I've got a rare lull. Storms last night knocked out power to the shop, and I've got a window here with 5 trucks sitting outside. Pat, among many things we call him, is timing. As I told Pat last night, best thing about him is his wife.  I'm sure I'm gonna get punched for that eventually, but it's true. Worst part is, I gotta pick where I get it.

Any of you new to the SoCal group, know this if nothing else. You re dealing with the most knowledgeable and helpful group of people on the planet! Now, not to say we don't mess with each other........we do.......regularly.......don't misinterpret that stuff. Like the time HDRider told me a needed a "Carb Reverse Kit" for my tunnel ram.........3 phone calls to Summit and Jegs.........I realized he was mesin with me. All documented here. Talked to him last week. We don't hold grudges!

At Any rate, and far too late......Pat says "sell everything and get an outboard"........

Phuck him.......

The No Wake Zone / I'm BAAAAAACK!
« on: November 14, 2014, 03:38:53 PM »
Yes, been awhile. to answer a few questions first.

No, wasn't prison.....although some think I still should!

And No, I didn't ignore/avoid anyone.

Naw, the situation arose stemming from a simple DUI arrest back in '09 before I even knew any of you

I thought it was over and done with. And was, according to new information and the DMV I just dealt with Monday to get my shiney new license! ( albeit a picture of this half bald, grey haired guy weighing 200 lbs and not my ORIGINAL picture from 20 years ago.........Fukin' DMV..........)

This was the WORST legal battle I had ever been involved in. This is including the custody battle for my kids back in '00 or '01 or so. Don't even care to look it up. I won, DMV lost, lets have a few!

Some of you know, some don't, so I'm gonna outline what happened. And why it turned into a military quarantine, well, we'll get into that. But if you live in Az? Pay attention!

I had taken my brother and SIL to the lake in March, '09. The sole purpose was to find a spot to hold my SIL's oldest daughters graduation party. Grandparents would be there from Iowa, ETC. OK .

Day at the lake,  Wednesday. Not even a full day, and yes, I had a beer or 5.........

We make it back to Tempe to drop by brother and his wife off to pick up their car. Kinda funny now, but he say "you OK to drive?",  I'm like, "no different than normal or ever"

Got not even 2 miles from the shop on the 101 when the cop showed up. Not even gonna get into the tricks and BS he tried to get me to swerve whatever. Pulled me over for my license plate on my boat trailer swinging and he couldn't read it. I had the Moo boat at the time, and yes it was on a hinge to save it from launching/recovery.  Kill me. Yea I blew  .081.

Nope. Statie wanted my ASS at that point. So I faced and was charged with 4 counts of aggravated extreme DUI.

I dug through this for a couple years thinking "surely, SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE IS GOING TO SEE THIS"

Nope. ALL trucks rated rated over  10000 lbs combination are rated "commercial" and thus require special "tags" (we'll get into the tags later, this is gonna be a long post). I drive an F350. Guess what? YUP Commercial vehicle, guess what else? I've had and maintained a CDL for many years only to help out my late father when and if I needed to. Trailering a boat, AND my kids in the truck! A$$wipe made the trifecta!

So back to the arrest, yes, it was a 5'4" (or less) guy fresh back from Iraq or Afganistan, who knows or cares, they ALL are. Cops piss me off in general because they think they are above all us, first, but SHORT cops? HEH! Whole different category! Napoleaon Complex, Short Man Syndrome, whatever you want to call it, somebody thought it a bright idea to give them a gun and authority......go figure........
Any cop under 5'10" Screw you...... You're automatically a dick............

So anyway, I get a lawyer (Almost as bad as a short cop, but he doesn't have a gun....) We head into court first day. This was the first time I realized I was facing 15 years in prison for what I thought was maybe a well deserved DUI..........

This is the end of '14. And its FINALLY OVER!

Have I gotten any of the $17K involved in the fight? No

Did I Recoup any money " Yeah..... RIGHT!

I did, however, win that one cell or nucleus of a cell, of dignity in winning and THEN begin my fight with the DMV beauracracy........That was 2 years ago when I found out, through the Gilbert PD, that my license was in fact, suspended. Got real ugly over there, and to this day, if I ever see that cop again, his car, his well being, and anyone anywhere near him that know him are in serious jeopardy and peril......

2 years after that, the DMV says "Hey! you can get your license back"......Like THAT has stopped me.......and so today, I spent the $95 to get it officially restored.

The No Wake Zone / I've lost everybody!
« on: June 14, 2013, 10:59:03 PM »
Yeah, my last phone is at the bottom on Saguaro Lake........ a couple weeks ago and I assume that's what happened, had account suspended until I replaced the phone. Anyway.........

In the past, I had  Blackberry, which uploaded all that info through Bluetooth every time I got close to my door, easy to download again! So my son sells me on using his old Android HTC G2 saying my Blackberry was like a 'hammer and chisel" that a caveman would use. And I fell for that $hit.......

Who's the smart one now? Burned up and lost more than a few Blackberry's and all my data was a few clicks away! Android? No such luck, lost ALL you cats numbers, addresses, my lil brain, in other words....

BUT, RJ Sprung and got me a cool new Sunburst Fender edition HTC My Touch! Gotta kinda forgive him! But where my Sim card and SD card in the past remembered most everything, well, didn't this time remembered nothing! Must have Alzheimer's.....

So Text me, who you is, and I gotta add it all back in......MAN this sux! I had peeps that NEVER wanted to hear from me I could bother!    :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

The No Wake Zone / House Electrical issues
« on: May 09, 2013, 10:31:28 PM »

Somebody smarter than me explain this electrical dilemma. Now, I know wiring, etc, but this has me baffled, and sounds expensive to fix........and a long story. I'm a pretty fart smeller when it comes to this, but this REALLY has me baffled. 

 Back in December/January, when Mom was out here for the winter, my Niece Josie blew up my oven. Set it on fire, burning up an element, whole shebang. Wasn't really her fault, but still fun to pick on her for it. Anyway, a couple weeks later lost power to half the house. Kinda weird, all the bedrooms except the master, half the kitchen, half the basement. Call the power company thinking one leg of my power was not working. Utility guy from APS helps me out turning off power to the house and finding a bad main breaker, helps me file and clean the contacts in the panel, etc. Of COURSE, it's not a breaker anyone stocks like Home Depot, its a $500 special order breaker which I procure from another source, install, then have to get inspected by the city before they'll turn power back on, yada yada yada. Got that all done pretty quickly really, although the ""inspector" I don't think knows an electrical panel from a toothbrush.... but all worked fine until tonight.

 So tonight, power goes out in half the house the same exact way! Here's where it gets funny. I turn off breakers on one side, reset the main, and turn breakers on one at a time, nothing. I'm scratching my head here at this point. most of the kitchen works, fridge, etc, but half the receptacles are out, Microwave/range hood out. My son was checking the stove to see if it worked, it did, and also VOILA! Microwave came on! Check it again, stove on, got all my lights back! I'm thinkin' stove issue. pull it out, unhook it, turn off its breaker, nothing. hook it all back up, turn it on, VOILA! Lights again!

 Now I go out really puzzled here and just instinctively wiggle the breakers on that side of the panel. get to the top one on the right side, nowhere near the stove breaker and pretty blue sparks, frying and snapping sounds lit up the side yard from both the main breaker and half of them on that side...(As well as my eyes, other parts of my anatomy, and I musta spilled water on my pants when I filled the dog dish earlier is all I can figure)

 Time for a new panel? This is what I DON'T want to hear, as that's a rather large deal since I have a 400 amp service, and it's only maybe 10 years old.........Or could it be since I replaced the main that the rest of the breakers just need to be ordered and replaced? I'm assuming somehow through my stove I was supplying power from one 120V leg to the other side of the panel. It's been working since the Harry Potter style magical light show, but I don't wanna burn the house down just YET either........ ;)

The No Wake Zone / Stupid Cops
« on: February 26, 2013, 03:17:20 PM »
Now, I know we have some members who also happen to be LEO, and I mean no offense personally, just generally, but when, exactly, did being a complete asswipe go from preferred pre-requisite to job requirement to become a cop?

In traffic court today dealing with my own issue of driving on a suspended license (that WASN'T suspended anymore, just a DMV issue that still isn't resolved with the DMV for whatever reason), but anyway, listening to some of the things others had happen (All of these were from Gilbert, Arizona, BTW.......I have to point that out because the Judge today was actually personable compared to the jackass that's normally there) I hadda laugh out loud in court......

Further proof that many Law Enforcement departments are simply revenue generators and collect "taxation without representation".

Guy 1. Ticket for no seatbelt. He was stopped at 2:15 AM (go figure) for changing lanes without signaling. Cop asked for his insurance card and he removed his seatbelt to retreive it from the glovebox. Judge says, "well the fine is only $85, and no points so why fight it?". Guy says, and I quote, "Because it's just not right. I want a trial, I'll get a lawyer, get the video from the cruiser of the stop, and I don't care if it costs me ten times that".  "Case Dismissed" was the next thing said.

Gal 2. Ticket for failure to stop for LEO and attempting to elude Police. Girl was stopped, again late, reason why I didn't catch. But cop comes to the window, askes for license/registration/insurance, she reaches over for her purse not realizing she had not put the car in park when she stopped, so car rolled forward, up onto a curb about 15 feet from where she had originally stopped before she realized her mistake and stopped the car. Judge was actually trying hard not to laugh, but managed "case dismissed" before actually laughing.

Guy3. Ticket for expired plates. This was actually a second ticket, the first he got dismissed the prior week because he brought in that he had, in fact renewed his registration. THIS ticket he got 1/2 block away from his house while driving a couple days later TO the DMV to renew the tags. He produced his DMV receipts and the original ticket, as well as the secondary ticket showing the dates and times. "case dismissed".

I mean, really. First off, we're wasting time, payroll of tax-paid employees, resources such as PAPER, not to mention the waste of time the officers are doing to themselves, and causing grief and loss of income of the general public to even deal with stupid crap like this. Just one of those Facepalm moments, but then I realized "I just wonder HOW many people actually simply pay the damn fine and be done with it rather than deal with wasting an entire day or two standing up for what is right? And HOW much revenue do they actually generate because of this?

Fortunately, mine was over and done early, and unfortunately, I didn't have to sit and listen to more of these.

I'm sure there's a ton more stories out there, POST'EM UP!  :screwy:

Out shooting with the kids a couple weeks ago and then realized how big there are and how they like the big guns now, soooooo

Legal issues looming   :banghead:   , when we got back I started digging through the gun safes and found things I forgot I even had, and therefore do not need anymore. Some I posted on Ebay, others for you guys only first.

.22 LR Silver conversion Kit for Taurus PT92/99/100/101 9mm and .40  S&W pistols


This is the original Taurus kit that came with my Dua-tone PT99 AFD convertible, not the Cheapo Ceiner kit. Got a spare mag for it also

.40 S&W Taurus slide kit, complete with barrel (Beretta Barrel), recoil ass'y and locking block, S/S


Not sure, but may sell the whole gun as a kit. Compensated in 9mm, convertible to .40 S&W, .357 Sig  and 22 LR. We just don't use it anymore! Kids shoot the .45ACP, the 10mm's and the revolvers these days.


.45 ACP S&W 4506 Competition slide/barrel/recoil assembly.



This one, dunno. Barrel is a new Performance Center dealio that has to be fitted to your frame. Slide is used. I put this together thinking I'd get back to Combat shoots, but hell, who has the time?

Another one for the S&W .45's
Complete parts set from a 4516 Performance Center Tactical.


In carrying my 4506/66, it has come in handy and smaller using that slide assembly on it, basically making a 4596 out of it, But I find it too much bother and leave the 4566 slide in place 99.99999% of the time. Actually, I thought I sold it quite awhile ago.

Bunch of Dan Wesson Barrels, grips, .357 Maximum and .22 LR (RJ has a Freedom Arms .22 Silhouette now), Probably enough Taurus PT92-101 parts to build three more (no frames)

Haven't gotten to the Rifle/Machine gun safe, but most of that is probably Class3 only.

My S&W 1066 and/or 4566 may be available as well.
 

Haven't gotten pictures of them, but my Single action revolvers haven't had any love in awhile, and probably gonna end up on Gunbroker. I'll get pics of the rest of them

In the pic......
A Ruger .357 Maximum SRM, 10.5" barrel, limited production in 1983-'84
A United Sporting Arms 17-4 Stainless Seville, 7.5" barrel, .357 Maximum
Not pictured
A Liberty Ruger Super Blackhawk, .44 Magnum, 1976 Manufacture, 7.5" barrel
Another Liberty Ruger Blackhawk, .41 Magnum, 1976 Manufacture, 6" barrel.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / question on Blowers (6-71 etc)
« on: October 06, 2012, 07:34:24 PM »
Now, I'm not a newb at these. and maybe this is best reserved to ask EngineDoctor, Lakesonly, and Obnoxios001 directly, but I thought the question relevant enough that the masses opinion may be valuable.

I recently sold this cat a great deal on a Teflon Stripped 8-71 blower and shipped it to him in Australia. It wasn't a cheapo Weiand, Dyers, BDS or Blower Shop unit either, a real Kuhl unit and fresh. This is going in a weekend drag car and week day/off-season cruiser that will be used OFTEN.

Anyway, he's in the middle of a 540" or so Chebbie build and wants to do this right. He asked me what I thought about rods, pistons, rings choices etc and that is a lot opinion based, y'all can throw what you think, his "mates" are telling him all billet, but my advice was this. Tell me if I'm wrong.

"Forged pistons are a must, and quality, cleaned and beburred paramount for your build. There is some question as to whether forged  factory or similar rods or billet I or H-beams are the order of the day because we do not know the pressures of boost involved, OD ratios, etc, let alone the quality of Aussie Hi-Test gasolines. My personal opinion is this. QUALITY forged I-Beam rods will out perform and out last the best of the best of "billet" I-Beam or H-beam rods on a year to year, mile for mile, cruiser/weekend racer build. ANY Forged steel crankshaft will outperform and out last ANY custom billet crankshaft. End of story, always, no one has proven me wrong yet.

Again, my personal opinion is that while the billet stuff, in Drag racing or other, and is replaced after every run, MAY be physically stronger (I seriously doubt that, just CHEAPER to make more of them), but replacing those in those circles is nothing, and WEAR is a matter they never even remotely see, whereas for you and me? A HUGE deal! I don't beleive, never have, that a billet crank or rods needs to be involved in any Street or Marine application. Nor does aluminum. Racing? those guys have almost unlmited budgets and yes, on paper and a 2 million dollar Rockwell Hardness machine their stuff MAY be "Stronger", but not "Harder" to take wear and tear. Meaning they can throw more HP at it for shorter periods, then replace everything and do it again next weekend. We, the "normal people" cannot, and will not do that."

Sorry John and Paul. I promised you guys pics months ago to show the difference between the old TRW and newer Sealed Power/Speed Pro pistons. I was posting one of my sets on EPrey and remembered it...........

Forgive me, Medication made me an idiot the last few months......   :banghead:

Anyway, these are the pics. The original TRW L2443N's for the 460 are on the left, the gook made Speed Pro's are on the right. Same part numbers.........  :screwy:

The No Wake Zone / When is enough......ENOUGH!!! Nascar needs BALLS!
« on: June 08, 2012, 11:36:45 PM »
I've made my opinions clear about the Busch boys in the past. Many on the website know more of their background/upbringing than me, and I shut up, BUT!

Sorry. One year it's Kurt, next it's Kyle, then Kurt again, a vicious cycle.

I do NOT care the upbringing. These cat's make tens of millions of dollars a year, and the radio broadcasts, media treatment, competeitor treatment.........REALLY?

IF I WOULDA DROPPED A SINGLE F BOMB on an employer, I'd be challenged, if not unemployed.........THESE cat's get like 12 chances??? I mean, would ANYONE EVER tell Rodger Penske to "go Phuck himself"  or his lateset employer, James Finch "what the phuck does he want?"  in his latest tyrade.

I'm not a huge Nascar fan. I tune in when possible, and go to all the races here in PHX, but I gotta look at this as an employer/employee relationship. AS an employer, my first regard is the spnsors that pay for all this ccrap to begin with. SECOND, and most of you know me, I would not tolerate ANYONE treating ANYONE else that way, on radio or in person. I, myself, would beleive, the RADIO comments are minor compared to what happened otherwise, and I would fire the most common denominator. WTF is anyone thinking allowing this?  I know "he's good for the sport" Really? would you let Kurt talk to you sister/wife/mother on the radio the way he does?

Here's what it comes down to. He Backed into a championship, AND why we have the Chase now (Check that oout anywhere you want)  AND thinks he's golden, not......His websites even say he's 5'11" ..........if he's 5'11"........I must be 7'+ because I'M 5'11" and could byatch slap him into a belly button suckin'.......

Rant over. Vegas guys, make all the excuses you want, but when these cats are making millions a year, there is NO excuse.........I'm not even gonne get into witnessing "kyle" in the pits telling a kid in a wheelchair to "stand up and ask me for my autograph"...................truly, seriously happened and I was 10 feet away from the kid, THEY are asses..............

OK, This is shameless, cheap, and downright wrong to call him out, BUT..............

Guys, do we WANT Propless to bring out his new V-Drive to the FD event at BR?.........I say YES!

Cripes! How epic! Propless with a prop, for one, but THAT is minor. He's scared he's gonna hafta be towed in...........HDrider was towed in by a sail boat once and then the Taliban another time.....so what? And afraid we're gonna make fun of him.......well.....YEAH! Of course! You got a long way to go to beat Danny boy's Oldsmobile BBQ, though.

So, and only the cats going to this, chime in as to WHY we need Proppy to arrive and take Daniels room at this event!

Picked this little, tiny, "baby one" one up through an obscure deal from a dude in NorCal........It's a fresh Mike Kuhl 8-71 (One of the last built by the man himself). 18 teflon strips, clearanced for gas (I double checked, .005-.007 between the rotors and .003-.005 to the bottom of the case, nice and tight!).

I'm not sure I'll use it for anything, but I did steal the snout off of it, soooo......... :screwy:

« on: December 20, 2011, 01:50:42 AM »
Well, my kids, and Mom, now that we moved her in out here after pops died, hafta stay warm.......and cool next year.......sooooo......my heat pump went out last week, and the air handler is on it's last leg as well. Yes, GT, I had 5 pros look at it. They're amazed it was working up through last week for a 25 year unit with pretty little service. Kinda knew it was coming, but figured I had a couple more years out of it. so I might be outta boats for awhile. I'll be calling in substantial "loans" I've made as well. Damn! I thought what WE did was expensive!!!

Anyway, anything and everything you see in this pic or background is for sale, or anything you KNOW ot have reason to know that I have (Like the Kuhl Dommy  Blower Adaptors)..........Yes even the Mooneyham 10-71!!!!.........I think I'm gonna go cry now......



My Twin Jet 26' Sleek also, with nearly all the original parts in bins everywhere, including the Teak swim deck built better than any "back East" house deck I ever saw.....2 rebuilt 12 JG's, too much to get into as well, make offers. Yes, I will include the special intakes AND custom loaders I paid $500 to have made for them.

My "fugly" 18' Hallett........also available........good boat for the right project

My 18' Saguaro........probably a better start of a project than the Hallett! Pretty boat, Biesemeyer molds made it, and honestly, would be the most user friendly 18' I've seen even above the Sleeks.

My '06 F350 4X4 Crew Cab. 6.0 Turbo Diesel, 148k miles. Power everything except the seats (cloth) and no carpet (vinyl.......I wanted it this way so I could just hose it out after a weekend at the lake/river. It's the Red truck on the other side of Crewcheif's Hondo.........couldn't find any other pics of the thing and I KNOW I have a ton!

 

Whatever you see in any pics I've posted, is available. I been very generous, and forgiving, with everyone I know, and hope for the same in return.

Any pics you want, lemme know, and we can negotiate if you're serious.

Some custom shit is still gonna need made, but we have that lined up, I THINK.

Mocked it up today on a dummy block. Well, actually a very good useable block, but it was close to the stand and this was a whole lot more fun than actually cleaning the damn garage (RJ's job tonight  ;D  )

OK, pains me to do it, but these are just too damn nice to let go with a boat I'm selling anyway. Almost too nice to call used! Picked them up, and in my usual fashion, picked up a couple sets and just gonna put a worse looking set on Pickle. Someone needs to use these!



The pipes are staggered for normal offset logs. Meaning one is longer than the other so they line up even at the back of the boat unlike the cheaper Gil Marines or Rwearders (The only ones even made anymore) Keep that in mind, if you have logs like these, they will NOT line up even on the transom. On every other log out there, you're golden!  ;)

Random Boat Parts For Sale / OT transom pipes.......F/S
« on: June 28, 2011, 12:40:52 PM »
Trying to replace Pickles OT pipes, I got a little over zealoous........ :banghead: Ended up with a damn near brand new set that Harry (Howard19) delivered to BR (Bro, I owe ya so much!). so got some to get rid of. I will never use them again, so someone needs these to complete a Pickle-like project!

I know at least one person was interested in the original Gil's off the boat, welded twice, I would personally have them checked again and the port side ground flat as it "rainbird's" a little, but I beat it pretty hard this past weekend and the welds hold up.......I'll get pics later once they're off.......in the middle of a jet pump install right now waiting on the 'poxy to kick a bit before dealing with the cable fiasco on another boat. But they're good pipes, for the right person with the welding skills to make sure they're right.

How's 50 bucks and you guys bribe me from there? Remember, these things are ONLY made by Rewarder these days and are $600..........Last weld job on these in Vegas cost me 150........and a DAMN good job the kid did!

AND, then I bought this other set, complete with logs....... Dunno what brand, but are identical to the Gil's from the original boat.



THESE ones, are VERY nice! Woulda worked Very Well had I not scored the new ones In the meantime. Make me an offer, with or without the Nicson logs.................No fitty bux is NOT gonna score these.........
