  1. Have heard good things about Ridgetec and Cuddlelink. Both are $$ compared to typical cellular cameras sold at Academy, etc. I had a Spylink at our place and couldn’t pick up a cell signal with it. I want to try a Ridgetec but have t got around to buying one.
  2. I was wondering which rapper got his shit confiscated by the US Marshall and then came upon this lovely piece. A quick search returned YNW Melly whose is currently awaiting two counts of murder in a Florida jail and is also suspected in the shooting death of a 2017 deputy sheriff.
  3. I doubt just flying a drone around waterfowl would be an issue but when you turn and dive toward them to make them move or fly it could be a problem. Like I said, the FGWs I have met usually didn't have a sense of humor and I imagine there is a very non-hunting friendly generation of wardens currently being employed. There were a few guides out on the Katy prairie in the 80s and 90s that reportedly would use small airplanes to push flocks of snow geese toward their sports. Didn't turn out so well for at least one of them.

  5. I have had several hawks and owls swoop into the decoys while duck hunting and take a swipe at a deke. Had a Greater Horned Owl make a pass at one right before shooting time then land in a dead tree right behind our blind and start to hoot. We were laughing at the owl wondering what the hell that was instead of a duck. If you duck hunted out on the Katy prairie for any length of time, you probably had multiple times when a hawk would fly in and snag a duck that was just shot and waiting to be retrieved.
  6. The shingle bundle that broke the deck joist’s back? Also: the Backyard Engineer’s Guide on how not to dynamically load test a structure.
  7. I had a roommate in college that brought up an old tan trihull boat with a 75 Chrysler on that was branded as Bass Bandit. Headed to the lake for drinking and skiing during the summer and the the B in Bass got taped over leaving it as the ass Bandit. It was an old POS but it floated and could pull a ski or a hydro slide so we were golden.
  8. While you could have mini guns in that drone blazing at those coots and I wouldn’t care a federal GW may differ in his opinion. I would not be posting that in a public forum. Most of those guys have an 8” cedar fence post jammed so far up their ass you can see it when they remove their hat.
  9. Who was the guy that Vic started a thread of that was a player in his own mind? Had a bunch of tats and shitty beard? He posted a pic of a fridge loaded up with shit like this one time I believe.
  10. Garage Journal forums has a whole sub-forum on garage flooring. Should be able to find everything you want to know. FWIW, couple of neighbors did the DIY epoxy and they looked good for 3 or 4 years or so then started to flake up. Biggest thing is cleaning the floor well and using a surface grinder. I don't think either did the grinding and that's a crucial step from what I've read.
  11. When i was a kid, we would carve a jack o'lantern, put the candle inside and put it on top of a 6' ladder that had a sheet draped over it for a body. I would submit that this demented gourd would make for a fine example.
  12. Shit I was able to find a pic ... ETA: I think one of these planes was one of his, they had a yellow one and a blue one. Notice the other two barely over the far trees. They did this for several hours that day.
  13. Had an uncle that retired as Chief Pilot for Delta. He had several planes, among them, a pair of Stearman's. He and my aunt flew them up to Oshkosh once or twice after he had retired. When he passed away (Fuck ALS) the local flying club did flyovers of his graveside service with 8 or 9 Stearmans. We went to their farmhouse after the service with the family and the club flew over all afternoon dropping notes of condolence. Got a couple of pics somewhere of 4 or 5 in a line coming low over the pasture. Pretty cool sendoff.
  14. @dieucla98 Is that a homebrew CNC router table?
  15. Ate a lot of split-down-the-middle and fried hotdog sandwiches as a yute, so yeah, serve it up
  16. Just a 3400hp, 38” draft, 50 knot jet boat sportfisher
  17. Beep Beep!
  18. No way it’s $1500. A dish tailgater and Wally HD receiver package is ~$450 at multiple places online.
  19. Please tell me you still have that 42 or one of your kids/grandkids has it and is treating it nicely.
  20. She better get her ass in the fraidy hole.
  21. Fuck that guy. I refuse to give him any views for destroying shit like that.
  22. Old school.. everything is a flip flop or house shoe to me. My 85YO MIL calls them thongs. Imagine the young sales girl at JC Penny's face a few years ago when the MIL ask her where the thongs were as she needed new ones for camping. And back to the video, you know he wasn't in Louisiana because he didn't yell at his wife to put on a pot of rice and start a sauce piquant.
