Apparently, covid spreads at a much higher rate out on the water. Who would've thought, sitting on my boat away from others was such a risk.
Dumb as fuck right there. Here boats are sold out for this year AND next already

Being the fishing season isn't open yet, I went out on a milk run chasing some crappies. Caught a bunch of little ones...the big 'uns don't seem to have come out of their holes for the spawn yet and two of decent size.
Also caught a funny looking crappie.

The Escalade is back to stock brakes. Wilwoods can blow me. WORST money I've ever spent.

As of the moment I am just hunting for a new position. Hopefully something comes soon. Rough finding someone to fight this; quite honestly I believe this is someone being vindictive for a past supervisor.
As for patching me up, brain MRI on the 5th of May, and phys therapy consultation coming up around the 24th. I'm also putting in for increased compensation after all this. It's going to be a shit show for a bit.

Hang in there!!

I am beat. Wanted to network the 2 12's in the back with the 2 9's in the front and fix the odd wiring from the previous owner. Add some goodies along the way. First vehicle in forever that is getting no amps....at least for now
3 zone RGB controller. Red for night whatever for whatever else. Last years Infinity's on clearance for $70 a pair with LEDs. I needed the light to see and was having a hard enough time drilling in the fiberglass and removing the foam

I have at least 50 fiberglass holes in my hands.

Just need to build a killer portable. Did that with the boys last year. Great learning experience for them.

That is probably because they are owned by Garmin who is big time into Marine Depth electronics. I run all Lowrance, but didn't want my graphs to control the radio. Having 2 12" graphs and 2 9" graphs on when just tooling around is a waste of battery and fucntionally since I only stream music from my phone I can use it's volume either by yelling at it or reaching it on the phone mount at anytime sort of making extra stuff on the graphs not worthwhile.

Was that today's update? I didn't check. My wife needs a new phone....

Ordered some Infinity's for the boat. Being there are no lights on the boat and I want to cut as few holes as possible I bought one with built in RGB LED's. Found them on closeout on Ebay for cheap
This boat will be the first vehicle I have owned (that isn't my wives) that I haven't put an amp in.

Chinese company, decides to go direct to market, tons of other stuff match. Tells a story. I had to ask though as I hate the fact that I want that, but I can't rationalize $120 for a Memphis when something darn near identical is $60

Downstairs we only have the garage, kitchen and living room. The architect said he had to move the furnace room upstairs to avoid having huge bedrooms
Smart architect. Is his name Adrian?

Amusingly the RMS watts vary, but the peak are one of two options.

There just can't be a big enough market to truly design that crap for that price, can there?

I know...but aren't they all "the same"? ie, my gut tells me these are all the same exact board with a different screen/faceplate. Makes me want to buy the $60 one.
0 -
My guess is Velex is the manufacturer. $60 for that one. $100 and $120 for the other two. There is a Kicker as well that looks the same....
I assume the real brands probably have some slightly higher specifications ont he screen and such, but it will be used solely to stream music from my phone...no amplifier though so I am a bit wary.

Looking for a 3" gauge radio for my fishing boat. Based on specs I somewhat assume that ALL of these are fundamentally the same thing and made by the same people. What's all your guys' take?

Welcome to the IHoP v.2

My POS Cadillac has been through hell and back and outside of owner influenced troubles has only had the cruise control and the heated seat break.
Alternatives are BMW M5, Mercedes E63, and the Lexus GS F. Was going to go electric, but the MachE isn't much better than the pos Tesla's so I gave up that notion. The Lexus is too slow and adding a supercharger to it probably takes that lovely reliability and kicks it out the window. It's infotainment system is nonsense as well. The laundry list of things that go wrong on the Germans on the forums is a mile long. The CTS-V somewhat minimal...
I am scared of it though, because Cadillac.
