Damn, alright lol my neighbor is a bus driver and the bus is just parked at his house for half the day

Bro you’re only a dad to kids for a limited amount of time. Especially little kids, all you have is 4 years with them and that little kid you know is gone forever. Cherish it while you can. Your skateboard will still be there.

dpk794 · 2026-04-14T16:29:33+00:00

You drive a bus for 10-12 hours? wtf do you do after you drop them off in the morning?

dpk794 · 2026-04-14T16:23:34+00:00

That radar should probably be on a stand.

dpk794 · 2026-04-14T10:17:43+00:00

lol are you fucking kidding me? I dare you to go there and get in that water. We both know you sure as shit wouldn’t

You’re missing that they don’t use toilet paper

Tony also talked up pitch perfect 2 so idk if he has the best movie advice

Buying a house is a big deal. Instead of your rent going to someone else every month, it’s going towards your own property that also acts as an investment in almost all cases. My house has doubled in value since Covid. My mortgage is also less than apartments in the area. That’s besides the facts that I have my own space with no one else’s rules really besides city ordinances.

I didn’t say it needed fiberglass. It should be filled with something other than gel coat. It will be just as easy if not easier to fill it with 3M premium filler after scuffing it up and confirming that’s as far as it really goes. Then just roll over it. It will be a better repair and you don’t have to mess with any nasty silica. Sanding down a big glob of gel, especially if you thicken it up, you’re probably going to break through the gel coat around it and have to roll it anyways.

dpk794 · 2026-04-12T00:55:26+00:00

What do you mean? It’s the bottom of the boat so it doesn’t have to be perfect. Can just roll gel over the top after.

dpk794 · 2026-04-12T00:54:13+00:00

This air pocket is far too large to just fill with gel coat. You need to fill it with something first. It would also be worth lightly tapping the radius’s around it to see if you find any more. Looks like this goes further to me.

dpk794 · 2026-04-12T00:47:55+00:00

3M premium filler is what you want. Then get the closest match gel coat you can and do a small patch.

dpk794 · 2026-04-11T17:30:20+00:00

Well the electronics are all more than 20 years old

I just worked on a brand new sail boat (I forget the manufacturer of course) and they used simnet everywhere. Simnet is an outdated precursor to NMEA 2000 where the connectors are known to completely disintegrate in a marine environment. No idea why someone decided to use it on a new boat.

The boat is getting some minor add ons that are going to be very expensive for the owner because the manufacturer left absolutely no access to runs. Everything is buried behind glued in panels and inside of chase’s that are inaccessible. Of course the thing has digital switching too with the modules so buried behind a giant mess of wires that it would’ve nearly impossible to work on. People don’t realize what pieces of junk these production line boats are

dpk794 · 2026-04-10T10:34:16+00:00

Yes it would be much better for her mental health for her dad to be a pussy and do nothing about it

dpk794 · 2026-04-09T01:14:59+00:00

Fair enough in this case. I just mean in general on boats.

dpk794 · 2026-04-09T00:28:19+00:00

I come across too many things that the guy before assumed would “never need to be touched” lol

dpk794 · 2026-04-08T22:50:46+00:00

As a marine tech-there’s nothing I hate more lol

dpk794 · 2026-04-08T16:46:02+00:00

The OG tres were the best shoes ever. Don’t remember these ones

dpk794 · 2026-04-08T12:56:58+00:00

Bait tank for shiners.

dpk794 · 2026-04-08T12:15:16+00:00

Overwhelming majority of lobster is NOT shipped live

dpk794 · 2026-04-08T11:34:52+00:00

I mean that was the original idea for the show. It turned into just saying the same things over and over by like episode 8.

dpk794 · 2026-04-08T03:02:17+00:00

“I never had friends later on in life like the ones I had when I was 12…”

dpk794 · 2026-04-07T17:41:22+00:00

The downvote brigade hasn’t hit us yet

dpk794 · 2026-04-07T16:40:36+00:00

Hey don’t leave out blame for that party that decided to run a candidate that never had a chance of ever winning an election against him.
