The Oldies or "Qtips" as I refer to them...don't get in the way too much. In the fall you'll see more snowbirds that are here for the winter. The beer is always cold at my house...I keep the Tap Temp at 34*f.:)

com on down...the waters fine...at 92*f....brrrrr :ack:

dont be surprised if i take you up on that offer one day. ive been known to do spontanious stuff like that before.

:coolgleam:i can see it now... :coolgleam:we can be like crocket and tubbs bustin the tides in a 44' cigarette boat....:coolgleam: except you dont live in miami neither of us are cops and our cigarette boat would be 20' and jet powered.... SOUNDS GREAT!:rofl::cheers:
 
I have an open boat lift in my yard too...Ya gotta have the convenience when you live near the water. :cheers:
 
hey karl, how did your wave busting go? i hope you didnt get any burns from the bath water you were playing in...
 
Nope, I never made it on the water...I hate it when life jumps up in your face and plans change...maybe Friday. :)

Karl
 
Oh man...I wanted to go boating today, but no luck...I hear the water calling my name. :ack: :rofl:

OK...so I have been out of town for 4 weeks on business. I finally get home after being in Richmond VA, then straight to Monterrey MX. I am anxious to get the skis in the water, especially my freshly rebuilt GTX. I hooked the trailer up last night and checked everything, all is well so far. This morning I get in the truck and start it up. After a short warm up I put it in drive and NOTHING. My truck will not accelerate. Damn! Call the Ford Dealer and a few hundred smackaroos later it is fixed.

Did you know that there is no such thing as an accelerator cable on Ford products anymore. It is all electronic. It is my understanding that the petal talks to the electronic box on the throttle body...or something, I don't know.
Anybody have this kind of luck???? :cuss::banghead:
 
Yep last Sunday on my Mercedes racehome. Hooked ski on the back loaded kids and gear in the back, jumped in the seat and turned the key......................yep nothing.

I'd left the reverse camera on for three days.

Still got out and had a great day out after impovising with two old 12volt wagon batteries and a spanner between making it 24 volts. Misspent youth making old stuff go I guess.

i dont think any manufacturer uses a throttle cable anymore.there is a positioning sensor on your accelerator and an actuator on the throttle body. depending on the position of the pedal the actuator moves. if there is miscommunication between the two your vehicle will go into limp mode. at least my 06 ram work truck did last winter . had to drive home 30 miles at a speed of 8 mph! then as i got home i shut the key off, pumped the gas about 5 times really hard and like magic it started and ran flawless. had no idea what was going on until i looked it up on a forum website. (and thats why al gore inveted the internet!)
 
That is so true...I own 06 Dodge Charger RT with a HEMI. After a family outing, I disconnect the battery and reset the accelerator pedal so it won't remember the slow driving I was doing with the family. I run a tuner with electronic cutouts to maximize the performance of the engine... I have to reset the computer and pedel so it will do what it is suppose to do...after family day. That's 165+...yeah I sell Escort radar detectors too, so I have the best defense. :rofl:

Karl
 
Wait, Al Gore invented the internet????? Did he also invent throttle positioning sensors? If so, does that mean that everytime I depress the accelerator, I am really putting my foot on a politician. I think I will depress my accelerator a little...no a lot harder in the future!!:lols:
 
Heck, if there was any truth to that I'd be full throttle all the time...I would love to stick my foot up their...oh never mind. :ack: :rofl:

Which tuner are you running? I've got the superchips on my rumble bee. I've had a couple others too, but they don't even come close to the superchips.
 
Chips - shmips. the only chips that I am thinking about are tortilla chips. Yesterday the lake and riding...today I am making salsa. I make salsa from my Mom's recipe. It is the best salsa anywhere. Just thought ya'll needed to know that. :D
 
YUM! were waiting for the tomatoes in the garden to get ripe before we can start making salsa. maybe you could float mammas recipe my way in a pm to try?
 
Rexsteiner
No problem how do I do the pm thing. I am an old guy that still thinks a cell phone is for talking. Go figure :D
 
Rex
Did you get it. I think it timed out before I finished.
I sent it to you again just in case :cheers:
