    Need a 2st Merc V6 bored in Boulder City/Vegas area

    Thread title says it all. I’m trying to avoid having to make the drive to the otherwise excellent, Q&E Machine in Anaheim. Plus I think they must be super busy. I emailed them to see if I could ship the bare block back to them for boring a couple of holes and honing the others. No response...

    I love Southern California.

    Nah. Not looking get into yet another in the litany of bashes on CA. It's just that it's unusual for a native to still so enthusiastic about SoCal after having grown up and watched how it has changed... IME, the kind of people who are that enthusiastic are often people from somewhere else, who...

    Hawaii covid requirements

    Nope. I fly that route for a living (airline pilot) so I'm out there about every week. Even a year ago when there were "restrictions", they are already living under "enforcement fatigue". I went anywhere and everywhere outdoors without a mask and even barely indoors, our layover hotels were full...

    I love Southern California.

    Do you surf? Do you snowboard? Where can you ride a dirt bike any more? I got sick of f-f-f-freezing wetsuit water, crowds at the snowboard lifts, and having to drive too far to ride a dirt bike... ...And having to fake my smog certificates, and lie about the guns I own. And then having to pay...

    Lake Mead ramps

    Even more of a coincidence! Wife’s grandparents lived in Mohave Valley over not far from the dirt track oval. They eventually passed in 2011 when we bought in BC. Mohave Valley was just too out of the way for us, sadly. We loved it there though. As I’m sure you know

    What a small world? We are in water's edge, front row across the street from the river mountain trail parking lot. We have owned that house for 11 years so we must have bought around the same time you did. Where did you move too? -Peter

    Yours had windshield and a swim step iirc. Ours doesn’t have either. Wish we had a swim step. We have two little girls who love to jump in and swim

    How’s your bahner? Iirc you got a new boat a few years ago? Got some hull damage on the rocks? I’d be super curious if you got a good launch of your bahner at PWC beach. Because that means we could launch ours :) -Peter

    We are down off Pacifica… the last street down 93 before Hemenway. Cool. When did you grab a BC house?

    Hey thanks mate :) Are you my old bahner buddy from a few years ago? Ours is going great. Love it. Hopefully we get to use it again this year -Peter

    Even that won’t fix it. We need to build the rest of the water projects that were originally planned. But that can’t happen in this day and age. So yes. A miracle is about how the only hope. -Peter

    Lake Mead ramps

    One of the rangers at mead a couple of years back said that it’s hard to rely on so-called averages because they re-index them. Seems like 2014-17 Colorado western slope was between 120-130% of average and after four years of that, that becomes the “new average”. So if you have a snowfall like...

    Lake Mead ramps

    Thankfully we have a variety of boats including a small one, a 13 foot Whaler and a 4wd Xterra. So might be looking at launching from “unimproved” launches. Shamefully, even though we have had a home in Boulder City for the past 11 years, we have no idea where the spots are where we can launch...

    **LAKE MEAD MAN MADE DOOM AND GLOOM ????**

    Not caught up on the latest in this thread, but it looks like almost every ramp is closed but Hemenway and Echo Bay. What I want to know is several things: 1) With Callville deemed unrepairable and now closed, WhyTF don't they spend the extra money on opening the second lane at Hemenway? 2)...

    **LAKE MEAD MAN MADE DOOM AND GLOOM ????**

    It was called “Waters of the US”, and it did basically what you said. Obama was a man of the state, and The idea behind it was to take as much state control of private land as possible. So if you had land with a low spot that tends to collect water during storms or rainy season or seasonal snow...
