Re: How do you keep the birds away!?
Just a quick followup to my testing of the same bird deterrent shown here by @aero3113. Delighted to report that the cormorants who were making a huge mess of my boat have not been back since setting up this Daddy Long Legs bird deterrent. My boat sat unused for about three weeks and not one indication of any birds landing/crapping anywhere on the boat. Thanks again to @aero3113 for sharing this info here.

Re: What did you do to your boat today
Nice truck- I sold fleet and commercial ford for over 30 years. Ford has had it's share of problems but for a work truck, the F series trucks just have not been beaten! I have an 06 F150 2 wheel drive and I lovecwatching mouths drop when it easily pulls it up the ramp. Now if I was going over mountains etc I would want that diesel also but for florida, I'm good.Lake_Bum said:It's got the 6.7 Powerstroke. F350 King Ranch edition. I tend to go through lots of different hunting trucks, but my Tow rig stays put. It's an amazing truck!rasbury said:Yes...what motor in that truck? I'm trying to get going on some boating...Will at least have a few cool days ahead..

Re: Pic Of The Day
I was dreaming of summer boating so I looked at the Facebook page of Dent Island Lodge where we went this summer and saw they posted an aerial photo when we were there. We were on the boat on the right with all the solar panels.
They also had some drone video as well

Re: Stock Market
When I sold a BTC in December of 23, I got about $46K. My average buy-in at that time was $18k. So I basically got my class A RV for $18k. That's how I justified it to the wife anyways hahahahahaha 
I know this thread is for Stock Market, but I don't think anyone minds, because it's more about investing in general. I'm not into stocks. I made a pile in the past at a former job, but for the past 23 years, I have focused on my 401k with Vanguard. I'm heavily invested into the S & P and have usually hovered inbetween 8-11% gains. That snowball has worked out very nicely. I've got 7 years to go until retirement, and I've got a great setup with the Railroad on that.

Re: Pulled her, have a project to work on….
I heard back from the machine shop. Aside from the damaged valve, they found a bent valve as well. I asked if it was the #1 cylinder, he’s going to ask his worker who disassembled it. I prepped and painted the intake this morning. I also had a new MAP sensor that I never used so I replaced it. It looked pretty gummed up so was probably ready to be cleaned or changed.

Re: Stock Market
Great delivery numbers last week for NIO. Tomorrow should be reporting end of month numbers, which if all goes well, will at a minimum meet the guidelines (over 35k deliveries). I'm guessing stock price will then be over $8! It sure is nice to see her moving back up!

Re: Pulled her, have a project to work on….
I pulled the intake manifold and heads today. I didn’t notice anything obvious on the cylinder that didn’t have any compression. The only thing I did notice was the coloring on the piston head, looks like the head gasket was leaking. I was searching the internet and someone on the SR forum had the same issue. All looked good but turned out to be a tuliped valve. I did find a cracked valve on the other head, opposite side (#2)! Luckily the cylinder and piston look good there as well. ⚓️
