How many of you guys are raising chickens?? We were at Gebo's today and they are selling baby chicks for $1.58 and my daughter wants one badly. As a city boy who grew up on the beaches of South Florida, I have no idea how to raise these things. Are they expensive and difficult to raise? The...

My 9 year old son and I decided to take a boaters safety course this spring. I figure that if I'm going to teach my kids good boating safety habits, well I have to lead by example. My son, though he's 9, is not old enough to get a Boaters safety card however I told him that I need him to take...

Hey guys.... I'm hitting Lake Lavon this Sunday to test the carb on the Crusader. The weather is forecast to be darn near perfect at 62F for a high and winds 5 MPH from the ENE. Seems like it'll be glass out there for sure. Probably head out to Collin park marina and tie up there for a while...

I just returned from the 2011 Dallas boat show and I found out some interesting information. Apparently the EPA is clamping down on marine air emissions too. 2011 is the last year that boat manufacturers can make a boat with an I/O engine with a carb on it. 2012 and beyond, boats will be fuel...
