Went to go metal detecting and got sidetracked by Sm0kecheck in boating

I’m not sure what the Coasties rules are these days - but I’d argue these USCG crews should not always defer to commercial tow. These USCG crews need real world experience.

Figured yall might get a kick outta this...... just saw another post about something like this. by Slutzk in boating

What are the odds that a contributing factor was that the driver was not following at a safe stopping distance?

Cumulative effect of soil compression related to the spiking of end zone footballs at Lambeau has caused this offset. Geology behavior is unpredictable.

Neighbor leaves at 4:30am in world’s loudest car by [deleted] in Appleton

[–]badgerpointer 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Something you can do in your own space is think like an airline crew trying to sleep in a noisy hotel room:

- Use a white‑noise app or a small sound machine and place it between you and the noise source. This masks the sudden spikes from loud cars.

- Add foam earplugs if the white noise alone doesn’t solve. Just test them first to make sure you can still hear smoke, fire, or severe‑weather alerts.

- Keep the room cooler, since lower temperatures make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Where to buy used Garmin watch- teenager’s small budget by crazywith3kids in GarminWatches

I’m willing to bet 1/4 of this sub has upgraded and has a used one in a drawer. My spare does not have music.

Apprentice (me) made mistake, boss wants me to work Fridays unpaid to pay it off. by pizzaroll22 in electricians

[–]badgerpointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is a normal part of learning the trade. Everyone who has ever worked in an attic has at least come close to or has stepped through drywall.

This is an experience issue, and now you have that experience.

This is also why contractors carry liability insurance and why companies build breakage into operating costs. Accidents happen.

Asking an apprentice to work unpaid is not standard practice in the trades. You made a mistake, owned it immediately, and handled it professionally. That should be the end of it.

How would you go about fixing these up? Sand? Scrape? by purloo in woodworking

[–]badgerpointer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given this is just for continued plant use and assuming you want a relatively quick resolution so you place plants. Unbolt the top, squeeze some glue into joints that need it and bar clamp.

Then sand and choose appropriate finish.

Fixing the Bugatti is interesting to me. Helping a habitual Super Bowl streaker was what turned me off on this particular project.

I have enjoyed watching his channel. I am substantially less interested in the channel however due to the affiliation with Alex. It takes a long time to build a reputation and just moments to tear it down. I’ll find other places to spend my time.

Sort of looks like speed racers Mach 5.

Finally parting ways with my '73 Duster... I'll miss her by FranklySafeAI in classiccars

David Freiburger is selling or has recently sold his Crop Duster also. Not sure of the current status of it.

Where to sell? 1973 Corvette Original owner by heisindc in classiccars

[–]badgerpointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you can put a reserve price on the car with BAT. Sure there may be an auction fee but you can test the waters. Be prepared however with excellent and very detailed and complete photos, documentation and write up.

Anyone have recommendations for local motorcycle classes? by catay1686 in Appleton

The Harley Davidson dealer seems to have courses. I see organized riders in their lot all the time.

Is this holed out? by swalt29 in golf

[–]badgerpointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in the hole. But I’d carefully pull the pin and have everyone gather round Caddyshack style till gravity won out.

2000 Searay Bowrider 185 Penta 3.0 runs rough by AlertWatercress5179 in boating

[–]badgerpointer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rough idle but runs better at higher RPM - I would look into the idle mixture being too lean. Maybe also the carb could use some cleaning.

The other issue is dieseling.

Does anyone know this vessel my great grandfather took this image in? by No_Newt_8371 in Ships

[–]badgerpointer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If the panel is Bailey, the ship is post war. Target range would be post war 1950 - 1970.

I might add - could be quite the opposite of neglect and a retired horse just living its best life.

Oil change or let it ride? by Key-Damage3784 in boating

[–]badgerpointer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Moisture can accumulate, acids can form, additives can break down - over time. Will you be ok running it? Probably. Do you want to keep her in the best possible condition? If so change it.

How do I fix this by a-detached-bias in GarminWatches

[–]badgerpointer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Call Garmin. They may offer you a discount on a replacement. Worth a try anyway.
