By the way, congrats on hitting 100 posts. :wtf:

Great pictures! Thanks!

 

What was the water temperature down there?

 

To tell you the truth I have no clue. My bet is in the high 70's. It's like bath water in the summer.

 

 

Why arent you swimming? :uhoh: Yup, I am jealous!

Great pictures there Leo! :cheers: 75, eh! That's a summer day here. It was warm here at 48. I wouldn't even want to guess at the ocean temps around here.

I'm going to have to move to Fla. for the winter month's. It's getting to damn hard for me to work up here in the winter weather.

Any fish out there with the water that shallow?

 

Yeah, in the winter the reds go as shallow as they can by stumps and shit to try to stay warm during the day. You have to have a skiff and a pushpole so you can sneak up on them and pop a fly in front of them and you will be in for one hell of a fight. You can pick up a nice skiff pretty cheap, I paid $9,000 for a brand new one with a four stroke motor on a trailer. http://www.southernskimmer.com/model-2170.htm thats my skiff, built pretty well. They make a great all around boat.

 

But I haven't been inshore fishing much since I mortaged my soul and bought the Century 26ft walkaround. Now I've been offshore most of the time.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
