    Home security cameras

    Any of you guys have any experience with the security companies out there who also provide cameras? We've got a monitoring company now & I have a guy coming out this week to give me a guesstamate. I'm just undecided as to whether I want to just buy the equipment & install it myself or to just...

    Clarion XMD3 receiver replacement

    From time to time I've noticed people searching for a replacement for their older Clarion XMD3. Didn't think too much about it until a couple weeks ago our XMD3 crapped out. No big deal....just get the newer CMD6 right? Then you also have to upgrade your satellite antenna, remotes & everything...

    rust stains B3

    Finally got some time to uncover the boat this year. Installed 2 new batteries, put the muffs on & it fired right up. I did notice some rust stains on the out drive later that I don't remember seeing in the past. Anything I need to worry about?

    A little good news for a change...

    Sea Ray is calling back 150 workers at their Forks of the River plant as well as the the Vonore plant. Not an earth shaking number of people but it sure beats going the other direction! http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/jan/28/sea-ray-boats-calls-back-150-workers/

    The other end of the dog.....

    In the spirit of the dog poop thread...who's ever been bit? I never had until last week when the neighbor's dog came on the property. Don't know exactly what breed it is (some type of hunting dog named Earl) but it's a beautiful animal that weighs about 60 lbs or so. One of our dogs (Buddy)...

    Winterizing trivia question....

    I'm winterizing the boat myself (as opposed to having it done at the dealer)for the first time this year. My plan was to put the 5 gallons of antifreeze in a five gallon bucket next to the sterndrive on the ground & let the engine suck it out. I have seen / read where others set the bucket on...

    Anyone in need of a forklift?

    Apparently Searay is "cleaning out the attic" as they put it by having an auction at one of their Forks of the River locations. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/aug/25/sea-ray-boats-to-auction-equipment/

    Hand polishing a hull

    Finally had a chance this weekend to at least get a start on polishing the boat. While I was working I got to thinking about polishing the hull. Over the years I've heard several people remark that they would never use a machine (orbital or rotary) to polish the hull of their boat. I've always...
