    I had a run of the last 3 years where I beat her to it, but that’s cause I was up earlier and wanted breakfast

    Serious one for the sailors... Do the big ships propellers have any variable adjustment, or does more speed equate with that many more RPM's
    Seems like some improvement needed on a 0 to 30 in 4 days. My experience is on <10 HP Johnsons and Evinrude's, or aluminum canoes.

    The one I was on had 4 screws powered by 2 Nuc plants— controlling that was probably alien technology that I could never understand — they’ve come a long way from ships of wood and men of steel

    Henry Ford supposedly offered any color you wanted.... as long as it was black. And his truck came to the depot in a nice large wooden box.
    After you took the truck out and assembled (some required), you set the box on its chassis... Ergo..The pickup. You picked it up at the station.

    Me neither, and I would like to know. Never can tell when you might run up on a feller what is cut loose, loaded, and needs some advice on how to get his s*#t back together.

    In my experience, that is a very kind and thoughtful offering. A clean, well functioning toilet seems to mean alot to women. Your providing this is somewhat proportional to the cooking, laundry, cleaning, and physical benefits you will receive. And you will never stop again; with a wife and 3 little girls, at a place with a less than stellar rest room. You just won't.

    Thanks fellas !! I definatly see what u guys mean. The cozad style ramps are pretty sweet. I could see how these ones I have are still gonna be a royal pain but I think it will be least a little bit smoother on my truck than nothing at all. I think I will still throw a 4x4 down under the trailer when detaching and see how that goes.

    Give me a couple weeks and I will report back how much of a pain in the ### it still is :biggrin_25523:

    I'll bet. One a friend was on they started him as deckhand and he worked his way up to the crows nest. Said Captain Magellan was a super sailor tho.
