  1. Dunkin Donuts, 7-11, and McD's all have good coffee. I'll buy a couple cans a year of Cafe Du Monde' online. Cafe Bustelo is another good one. How do I like my coffee? Same way I like my women. Hot and goes down easy.
  2. If your truck has a 7 pin receptacle, you can get 7 to 4 pin and 7 to 5 pin adaptors
  3. NewsNation
  4. Ordering a pizza in the near future CALLER: Is this Pizza Hut? GOOGLE: No sir, it's Google Pizza. CALLER: I must have dialed a wrong number, sorry. GOOGLE: No sir, Google bought Pizza Hut last month. CALLER: OK. I would like to order a pizza. GOOGLE: Do you want your usual, sir? CALLER: My usual? You know me? GOOGLE: According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust. CALLER: Super! That’s what I’ll have. GOOGLE: May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust? CALLER: What? I don’t want a vegetarian pizza! GOOGLE: Your cholesterol is not good, sir. CALLER: How the hell do you know that? GOOGLE: Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years. CALLER: Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetarian pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol. GOOGLE: Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you purchased only a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once at CVS Pharmacy, 4 months ago. CALLER: I bought more from another Pharmacy. GOOGLE: That doesn’t show on your credit card statement. CALLER: I paid in cash. GOOGLE: But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement. CALLER: I have other sources of cash. GOOGLE: That doesn’t show on your latest tax returns, unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law! CALLER: WHAT THE HELL! GOOGLE: I'm sorry sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you. CALLER: Enough already! I'm sick to death of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others. I'm going to an island without the internet, TV, where there is no phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me. GOOGLE: I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first. It expired 6 weeks ago...
  5. I'd pack water, a sammich, and always pack fresh fruit. Either apples or oranges. Nothing like a healthy sugar boost from the fruit.
  6. Is the transom cracked or is it spiderwebbing in the gel coat?
  7. Money can't buy happiness. Poverty can't buy anything.
  8. Will you buy me one if I don't win? Buddy ole pal.
  9. 3 blade SS. No need for a 4 blade unless you're fishing rough conditions or pulling skiers. An aluminum prop will flex under load and even though you don't see anything jumping out at you, you may have lost some performance. Don't just go and buy a prop. See if you can find a dealer that can loan you different props to try until you find the one that hits the sweet spot.
  10. Recently gave my son a 1970 Lund and a mid 60s Evinrude
  11. Bought mine for both mega and powerball
  12. You would need to get the forward controls for the Yammie
  13. Vmax SHO is high performance. XTO saltwater(grey), Four stroke (grey) standard performance for freshwater
  14. Now that's funny
  15. OP asked a question and my initial response was they use 2 different blocks and nothing about maxing out HP. I'm a tradesman. I can go to Home Depot and have my choice of 10 different brands of drills at 10 different price points. They all do the same thing. If buying a $200 drill will avoid me the inconvenience of the $100 drill failing, then that's my choice. The smaller Mercs are made by Tohatsu, including the 60hp, as far as I know. The 75hp is made in America. A different engine block could mean all the difference in the world as far as longevity. The boat and motor are a tool to catch fish. Nothing more, nothing less. The tool should be reliable. If a bigger block is more reliable in the long run, than that's the one I want. My personal opinion as far as trucks is the same. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I have a 6.2 gasser in my SuperDuty. My son has a F150 with the Ecoboost 6 banger. IMO he should have got the 5.0, but dealers around here do not stock those. There is no substitute for cubic inches.
  16. What the....?
  17. Your 4 cylinders aren't working any harder at cruising speed. That technology has been around since the 80's Cadillac had what they called the V-8-6-4 engine. The technology was ahead of its time and was a flop. With modern transmissions and computers in cars, it's a viable option for fuel savings. I would never own one as I believe it's one more thing to go wrong. The theory doesn't apply in this situation as outboards do not have transmissions.
  18. Makes a lot of problems insignificant.
  19. Beethoven has been decomposing for many many years.
  20. The splashwell holes are probably storage boxes with a drain hole cut in. The other holes are probably to access the fuel tank fittings
  21. Never heard of this guy before. Been listening to him on Alexa for a couple hours. Good stuff
  22. You have expectations of me? I'm flattered. Both of you need to put down the pipe/bottle. What you see as lazy, I see as an opportunity.
