Glad you checked in!

I hope all is well!

 

Ordered a Starlink Mini. Hope I don't regret it.

If the mini is as good as the standard you will not regret it. We stream tv and grandson plays games online and we’re on our phones with zero issues. AT&T couldn’t handle that

 

Can someone fill me in on why they destroyed the steps at Marble head on DI

 

Looks like in order to access the area with heavy equipment. Why they didn’t use the bypass makes no sense

 

So much for tread lightly

make lemonade, looks like they may have made a harder line inadvertently lol

 

Anyone have a recommendation for a good headlamp off Amazon? Something to use working on cars.

I have one similar to this. Does yours heat up and make your forehead hot?

No I have not noticed any heating up.
I had it on for a couple of hours Monday working on a Grandfather clock.

Wild that it seemingly happened entirely in a vacuum, in like 3 days.

It was like three years of meetings to open an offroad park in an abandoned quarry, somehow they can bulldoze a 20 million year old rock feature people travel from all over the midwest to see over a weekend.

Sounds like a great way to get people to leave you alone. I think I might start wearing that at work. And at home. And everywhere else I go.

My son bought Mis something that looks just like that for x-mas last year works great but this particular one the battery has a hard time keeping up with the demand, it always seams to dye half way through a project.

Honestly I like my $50 Milwaukee one from Home Depot. Rechargeable, two levels of spot and two levels of flood light, plus the light itself is magnetic and you can pull it off of the headband and stick it to something. Plus it's rechargeable. And being Milwaukee I imagine it has a warranty too

 

I had not been up north to use the boat, so I went and got it and dropped it in Lake Lansing for a few hours on Monday. Now I have to decide how much I want to sink into it to be nice, boat prices have tanked in the last two months compared to fall of last year. It runs great and I love that iconic look. I guess I should have read up on how horrible the pre-83 boats rode in chop though, it is like riding in my old skiff

It seems to be running pretty good though, the marina felt it was not much better but it is. They felt it was not consistent. I think it just needed a couple hours runtime, It ran great for the 1.5 hours we had.

I posted it on a Mastercraft site and a person that thinks they were the original owner reached out. I thought that was cool. Apparently the tan/red/black color scheme was rare.... it probably is because the tan with the red is not that attractive.

I debated wrapping it, but it doesn't look like it holds up for much more than 5 years for the cost of it.

 

I would skip the wrap and just enjoy the boat it has it's own look embrace it.

A wrap is a poor choice for a boat in my opinion. Dock rash can never be fixed to look good, and vinyl does not hold up as well as paint or gel coat to the sun. Anytime I see a boat wrapped I think it's because the owners were to cheap to paint it.
