    LOTO 2024 Trip!

    I believe a TF hydro is too short for the Shootout rules. Also even though there’s a no wake zone, the main channel is still pretty stirred up and the course is rougher than people think. I don’t think a TF hydro could run safely in that water. I don’t remember the year but probably around 2007...

    Those sneaky F*kers (UPS)

    I won't use UPS anymore, too many lost, damaged and delayed shipments.

    LOTO 2024 Trip!

    It was a great Shootout this year even with the rain. It’s amazing how the lake is so calm today. After the Shootout crowd leaves we get a couple of days of calm water and then the Labor Day weekend crowd arrives.

    Todays standup jetskis

    I rented a 550 back in the 80's, never could stand up. Now my son has three 2 stroke stand-ups and rides almost every day.

    Burning the American flag on US soil

    I may be a conspiracy nut or over thinking it, but I think most of it is starts with the agitators who are on the payroll of democratic groups behind the scenes. Sure there are some nutcases that believe in "the cause", but it's the paid actors that get things going. I think it's a plan by...

    Blood pressure

    Good advice above, find a primary Dr, get a referral to a heart Dr and get a full work up. I was feeling funny three years ago and my primary Dr referred me to a heart Dr. He did a full work up which revealed some indicators for afib. Next thing I know he's putting a loop recorder in my chest...

    Election Shitshow 2024

    I worry all the sheep will now wake up and be enthused to vote for the 1st black woman. DJT has to beat that, the October surprise and the voting counting scams. I think it will be close.

    New 368 Skater, your thoughts??

    I guess I’m just old, the paint is a little much for me. I prefer a simpler design, but the 368 is an awesome boat.

    Alpha drive question

    The Alpha 1’s in 1987 that were behind the 454 / 330hp Magnum package had a 1:32 gear ratio.

    Alpha drive question

    Is the boat a 1987? We bought a new 87 Baja with the 454 and Alpha One drive, It was the first year for the 454 package without a TRS drive. To make the Alpha drive live with the torque of the big block they changed the gear ratio and a few other things. This was a one year only package...

    What part of "not interested"...

    At our KC house there is a ordnance against soliciting. You put this sticker by the doorbell that the city gives you, it says, "No Soliciting" and the law number. If anyone rings your doorbell you get their card and turn them in and the city really goes after them. They learn real quick, we...

    Waterskiing

    Me in 1974 at LOTO with the slalom ski from a pair of Cypress Gardens Dick Pope Jr wooden skis. I'm still amazed I could do this with a flat bottomed ski with those little rubber bindings. Skiing is getting rare at LOTO these days, the water is too rough unless you get up early. Kids are more...

    1959 Buick.

    My dad owned a Buick dealership in Iowa in the late 50's and into the 60's. Somewhere I have a photo of me and my two sisters standing up in the back seat of a white convertible with red interior. He always brought home the coolest cars. Unfortunately I was too young to remember much, I just...

    Need some advice on Cell Phone Signal Boosters

    We have some people that stream live on TikTok, streaming live doesn't work switching back and forth from WiFi to cell service when they are on the dock then out in the boat miles away from the dock. I should have mentioned that in my first post, WiFi isn't an option.

    Need some advice on Cell Phone Signal Boosters

    Our cell signal is great, I can see the tower a 1/2 mile away from our deck. There is just no signal under the dock roof. I was thinking an antenna on top of the dock getting the good signal, then rebroadcast the signal under the roof. I assume the roof will stop the RF being seen from the...

    Need some advice on Cell Phone Signal Boosters

    Here at LOTO we have docks with metal roofs. Getting a phone signal while on the dock is spotty at best and the house WiFi is too far away. Do cell boosters work very well in this situation? I see some are $500 and up to cover a whole house, but our dock roof is only 35' x 35' so I thought a...
