    Outage 9/17/23

    I believe this is the first outage over 15 minutes that we've had in 2 years, maybe more. Sadly we ran out of a couple server resources. :(. Nothing money can't fix. LOL We should be good to go. And even faster. I had to buy more storage, and to get more storage I had to add two...

    Tie ups vs wake boats?

    Wake boating has grown in my area. This is when the person behind the boat rides the wake without a rope pulling him. The wake boat goes extra slow and has 500LBs or more of water in a pouch in the rear of the boat to give it more wake. The wake produced when wake boating is huge. I have...

    Finally an easy way to keep my bottom clean

    I boat on the Ohio River. I trailer the boat each weekend. The most we stay in the water is 4 days. By then we normally have a nasty ole line of crud on the boat. Heck an hour after dumping in the water you could see the start of a line. Wax would help. And a few years ago we started...

    A sure sign it's about boating season. Gas prices go UP.

    Gas was down near 3 bucks a gallon. Then 3.29, now it jumped to a whooping 3.69. I suspect we'll see 4.00 a gallon by memorial day. What do you think?

    Labor Day 2022 weather

    I hope your weather is better than mine. Had a fun boating day yesterday (Friday) thankfully. Sunny and nice all day. But labor day weekend weather is the worst I can remember. Saturday has been cool cloudy with an hour and a half of drizzle to semi hard rain. Tomorrow much the same...

    Chased down the Queen on the Ohio River.

    As we were launching we saw the tail end of the old Mississippi Queen which is now called the American Heritage. Beautiful boat. After stowing the trailer and picking up my wife we headed up river chasing the Queen. We caught her about 6 miles upriver. I've seen it and others pass a few...

    Did anyone notice the attack tonight?

    Around 9:46 this evening our server was hit with a massive DDos (Denial of Service) attack. A coordinated effort by someone controlling a lot of bots. It could have been in frustration due our diligence in keeping most spammers off the site. Or it could have been completely random by someone...

    New Transom needed
