Jeff, this picture was taken on one of our cruises to Lake City. As for where the boat is normally, that would be Bayport.

 

 

Ahhh, the St Croix. :rolleyes: I am sure I have seen it many times then as I spend all summer on the St Croix. Usually between Hudson and Prescott and many days at Kinnikinnic.

 

Well that's awesome Jeff I'm out there quite often myself, what boat are you usually in out there? We used to go to kinni all the time until we upgraded from the 30 footer. GREAT BEACH! We currently go to catfish and high line through the St. Croix Yacht Club. The boats name is Carpe Diem in case you see One like us. There are only 2-3 466 MY's out there but there are a ton of 396 MY's to so that's how you will know it's us! If you see us give us a holler! My dad's name is Brad Btw.....Maybe well see you out there Jeff!

Carpe Diem, yep, I've seen that boat several times.

 

I'm still in a little boat (see above), but hoping to upgrade to a cruiser in the next few years. I spend most of my time in my floatie-chair with a cold one in the cupholder anyway. :cheers:

 

Ever go to any of Gary's partys? www.garysnextparty.com

 

Here is a pic from last year:

Can't say I have been to any of those parties, haven't been a kinni goer in awhile....sold the 30 footer back in 99 :rolleyes:. Yeah i think there is only one other carpe diem out there, Silverton of some sort....well anywho smaller runabouts are a great time! We had a 21 ft sea ray back in the early '90s and it was some of the best times of my life. But hey it's great to see someone else that enjoys the river as much as me! I know i wouldn't change growing up on the river for anything!

Garys river parties are usually in Hudson. He will be having another 4th of July "Red, White and Blues" one this year (see his website). Put it on your schedule, they are a great time. :rolleyes:

My roommate has a 25ft Sea Ray, and we go to this little party called Jobbie Nooner on Lake St. Clair. It's absolutely insane. Check out the website and you get an idea. You can also do a video search on it to see some rather interesting things.

With the gas prices last year only hit the St. Croix one weekend, hoping to do a few more trips this year.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      By B07 · Posted

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
