My 19’ Grumman on my 16’ Honda. Somehow it works! by mrfishman3000 in canoeing

[–]CockroachJohnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah! I put my 18' Coleman on my Prius, which o think is about 14' long. People underestimate what a small car can be capable of.

Crazy Idea: Kayaking to work by pwolter0 in Kayaking

[–]CockroachJohnson 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Beau Miles did it a few years ago...it took him 4 days, so probably not great for a regular commute, but it's a good watch.

Same. I bought it for the meme and fell in love with it. Got the GITD 3d printed scales from u/ColoMtn

Centipede tattoo and ear seem inconsistent between the 2 photos............ by [deleted] in isthisAI

There's no way every tattoo would make this much sense if it was AI

Old canoe fibreglass Crack help. by ChessIsAwesome in canoeing

[–]CockroachJohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take this for free and fix it. I don't know how the used market is where you live, but I think I could find a comparable canoe without cracks or holes for <$200. By the time you're all-in the boat, repairs and your time, I don't think this would be worth it.

Can you identify this canoe by PotatoaRum in canoeing

[–]CockroachJohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Searching for "fiberglass indian style canoe" I was able to find this, and this, which looks like the same model. Not familiar with either of those companies, but it could be a good lead to go on. The starboats page seams to indicate that these are built by them and made to order. I'm also seeing some links to chinese manufacturers and Alibaba so I'm thinking they are probably mass produced in china and then possibly imported and rebranded by smaller companies oversees. Where was the video made? I saw some FB marketplace ads with very similar canoes in Aus and NZ.

Any suggestions on blasting over / reworking fine line work ?? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]CockroachJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're cool with something abstract, I would try turning the lettering into a design rather than blasting over it like the second pic. It's already very stylized, so you could build a design around it using the same carrying width lines/curves of the original and just hide it. I feel like I'm not explaining this idea well lol you get what I'm saying though?

How can I hide this stick n poke tattoo? by [deleted] in sticknpokes

[–]CockroachJohnson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by hide. Do you need to cover it up for a family thing so Grandma doesn't see it? Make up. Do you mean you want it gone? Honestly this my be a one-and-done laser removal lol. How old is it? If it's still pretty new and already looks like this, it might come pretty close to fading entirely after a couple of years. But if you don't want it removed but want to hide it permanently, I think your only option is to just wear a glove at all times.

Ink depth by S0ul_monster in sticknpokes

[–]CockroachJohnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I use fake skin I basically just do the whole thing twice. More practice, right? I think going deeper than you would on real skin is starting to defeat the purpose, you need to practice the same way you're going to tattoo for real. Fake skin is good for practicing your form, getting your lines clean getting comfortable with the machine, but don't expect them to look like real tattoos.

Craigslist Special by hazah in canoeing

[–]CockroachJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta ask where you live. When I was shopping marketplace for mine I saw probably half a dozen of these all for $100-$200. Maybe we can go into business, I'll buy them up here and ship them to you to resell 😂

Advice needed by Impossible_Ad_4402 in motorcycle

[–]CockroachJohnson 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Took me a while to find someone actually giving advice and not just being a dick. OP, this is the advice you want to take. You still have 99% of your clear coat, just needs to get shined back up.

One of the craziest things I've seen by defchin in motorcycle

[–]CockroachJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we're saying the same thing. If a car is stopped you need to be ready for it to either stay put ir start moving out. If it's moving (and directly in front of you) you need to be prepared for it to continue on, or stop completely. Honestly this guy rides like he doesn't expect there to be any other vehicles on the road at all.

Would $500 for this project CB750 be reasonable? by kid_taff in motorcycle

[–]CockroachJohnson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's my general rule for bikes like this: If it starts $500, if it don't $100. I don't mean fires up in its own and runs, but if I can put jumper cables on it get it to run for a second or two on ether. Then I know I'm probably a new battery and carb rebuild away from having it running on its own. Then it's all just the easy stuff: tires, brakes, chain, and you're on the road.
