  3. If it's anything like the Powerdrive, there's a clamp to adjust the shaft height. You can adjust it up for shallow water and down for deep water or waves. takes less than a minute to make adjustments. I normally see the Powerdrives and Terrovas on aluminum deep v's as opposed to bass boats.
  4. My experience, I have a cheap Lowrance on the bow for 8 years no problems. Had a HB Matrix on the console for 7 years no problems. For this past season I ran a HB 798ci SI on the console. Only issue I've had is transducer placement. Once I got that figured out things were great. As far as operating it, it's relatively easy to figure out. The new Lowrance Touch caught my eye though and looks almost idiot proof.
  5. My brother just paid 136k for his tractor. As far as the ice raod truckers, he said he would never do that, and my bro is "well decorated" in the trucking world. He has won numerous awards, competes at the nationals in Paducah, and has been chosen to test drive rigs with prototype safety equipment for his feedback. I learned to drive stick on big rigs. In high school I worked part time as a porter/detaier for Ryder Trucks. Drove locally for almost 10 years. Much rather do what I'm doing now Clayton, I guess you have an advantage being away from home. Still a tough gig
  6. Great Job guys
  7. Good luck Homie. I quit cold turkey in '99 after smoking for 20 years. 3 packs a day for the last 3. Took about 2 months before I was home free. Prayers are with you.
  8. Well, Now I know how to get a Mod's attention.
  9. My brothers been driving for 25 years. He's on his second wife. It's a tough gig. Money can be made OTR, but local normaly doesn't pay squat, unless your hauling containers or dumps and getting paid by the load. Haz-mat and tankers pay the best. He just recently became an owner operator, and is almost never home. If your really contemplating this, PM me your info. I'm sure he'd answer any questions you may have.
  10. Not a fan either. Just thought I'd share. I will say this, I've done refrigeration work the last 15 years in a multitude of restaurants. Taco Bell is one of the cleanest fast food restaurants out there.

  18. The fact that Rhino had 3 friends to begin with is what amazes me. The only one I can think of is Long Mike and by Rhinos own admission Mike has poor judgement.

    Structure and purpose. I stopped the booze for 2 reasons. Had a bad experience a few years back after a similar injury. Pain meds and whiskey don't mix. Also I'm a pretty big guy. Putting that sugar in my body with no means of working it off at this point in time would just make me blow up even more. I think the lack of structure and purpose is what's causing this. Having to wake up to sit and watch tv or the computer is getting old. It's been raining and I haven't got out much. I attempted to pull what's left of my rotting tomatos from the garden this past saturday and it became painful. Hell, when I worked I was up a 5:30 every morning without the help of an alarm clock. This included weekends. I winterized the boat. I have a garage full of tools I can't use. Wow! I sound depressed. I assure you I am not. Just really fricken bored. I almost went and bought a new boat the other day. I still may, but realisticaly I should wait til I'm back at work. I'm starting PT on Thursday. It'll give me something to do.

    Quit that 30 years ago. Have no intention of revisiting it.

    The first week I was taking the meds every 5 hours or so and was probably sleeping 16 hours a day. The insomnia started as soon as I cut back to once before bed. I can tolerate the discomfort during the day. I'll try knocking off the meds completely and see if that helps

    Can't sleep since my surgery.Never had this problem before. Last night was the worst. Laid down at 11 and last time looking at the clock it was 3am. Doc offered to prescribe Ambien but I have heard stories about people on this stuff. My luck, I'd be the guy walking naked down the street carrying a shotgun in the middle of the night. I have also not had a drop of alcohol in 2 weeks and whiskey has beed a staple in my diet for 20+ years. I have just about stopped the pain killers, just taking them before I lay down for bed to help with the discomfort. The ol' lady wants me to drink chamomile tea but I am repulsed by the flavor. Any suggestions?
  23. I got unfriended last week. Doesn't feel good, does it? Apparently I'm thinking about purchasing some windows this week
