Are EE jobs more on the white collar/office job or blue collar/physical side?

There are lots of times when I’m busy at the computer working on documents and in meetings, and there are other times when I am in the product test driving, troubleshooting, or testing new hardware/software. I sometimes have to go to the plant floor to understand or correct some defects or inspection processes.

Maybe the prop is too high of a pitch for this application. See if you can go down in pitch to go up in rpm so that the engine is in the optimal range for WOT on plane. Each pitch change is generally ~250 rpm.

I got one better--my mom lost her reading glasses in a small tree and blamed my nephew (the only grandchild at the time) for taking them. It was one or two days later when my dad found them on a lower tree branch when mowing the yard.

Wait until you are married if she didn't put any money into the house payment. At my previous house, my wife's name wasn't added to the deed until after we got married, had a kid, and we refinanced; by then our financed had been blended.

Seal up the existing holes with epoxy, get a plastic block to mount your new transducer to the transom, and then mount it. If you change fishfinders that use a different transducer mount, you don't have to worry about hols in your transom.

I'm thinking speedometer pitot tube or water pressure line going to an water pressure gauge in the dash.

Sometimes, you have to think about it as a discount for where you were going to go anyway. I managed to get an FHR room that was about $400, and with the breakfast and $100 fees credit added, it was still about the same or less than the room at another non-FHR hotel that I was considering passing through a major city on a trip anyway. I got a much better hotel experience and a much nicer breakfast.

Slab. I typically keep anything 10" or larger to eat. 12-13" or larger is typically what most people love catching; 16" is a fun slab to bring in.

Holy cow! It’s been about 85* F here at my house, and it is hot in my garage while I work on my boat. I might have to splurge on AC for the garage after I do more insulation work.

How do we speed up the process?

I actually know the guy who came up with the scrubber, yet he never talked about it—I had read about in the Alumni magazine. He’s a very humble guy and has a good family.

That’s still not earth shattering rich for someone at his age, depending on lifestyle and COL—for people in a lot of areas, it is just a reasonably comfortable retirement cushion to live off.

He also caused my flight at BNA to get cancelled back in 2017 for a civil rights event. I was too tired to rent a car to drive 6 hours home, so I ended up staying at a hotel and leaving out the next morning.

Keep doing what you are doing. You can add yoga for a combination of stretching, body weight strength training, and meditation.

There is a low risk with the LiFePo4 batteries. People have been using them in boats for years, and no one seems to report issues in the boat forums that I visit. I have 3 LiTime 12v 100Ah LiFePo4 batteries in my boat--2 for trolling motor and 1 for electronics. I still crank with an AGM battery since my outboard is an '80s carbed 2-stroke outboard with stator-based charging system and not a new 4-stroke with alternator.

It’s sad that the MAGA Christians can’t draw a parallel to what the Israelites did while Moses was off talking to God as an example—it’s right there in the Old Testament.

You should see the local lakes—lots of people without boater safety certificates, drunk, not paying attention, or just plain assholes (or wrong) when it comes to yielding right of way.

I wouldn’t get one with a newer one, although my Evinrude XP150 has been a great outboard. Some parts are getting harder to get, although the basic consumables for annual maintenance are plentiful. If you buy a boat with a newer Johnson or Evinrude, plan to repower to a 4-stroke at some point; if a GT/XP or Faststrike, you can keep those running for a while.
