General Talk / Re: Sheetrock work needed
« on: November 05, 2021, 08:09:26 PM »
I don't know what the finish is called.  I have heard the term knock down used.  I think bbn it's a pretty common texture.  I'm very interested in getting a bid for the job.  I'll  message you with my phone number.

General Talk / Sheetrock work needed
« on: November 05, 2021, 03:55:36 PM »
Any sheetrock guys out there looking for a little work?  I have a day or two of drywall work that I'm looking to get done.  Patching holes where intercom units will be removed and some seam cracking to be fixed before painting.  I live in Danville.  I'm open to having the work done any time.  Weekends, evenings or week days are all OK.  Will pay cash.

Wind can be an issue.  That's why it's nick named "blow-dega".  Access to the beach from the Jetty sites is very easy from most of the Jetty sites, especially those right next to the bay.  Kayak launching is pretty easy with "ankle slapper" waves being most common. The nearby jetty provides pretty good protection.

Anywhere in the Jetty campground at Bodega would be good.  Look at the site map and you can see what's available and what's closest to the water.  Book online.

There's a hack to increase the maximum speed on Rad bikes.  I think they can be increased to 25 MPH but 20 is fast enough for this OG.  As far as climbing hills goes, I'm pretty sure pedaling is about the only way to maintain speed.  My neighborhood is pretty hilly and the bike is able to climb all of the grades but it does slow down if you don't pedal to assist the motor.

I have a Rad brand Rad Runner utility bike.  It was a little pricier than some other brands but it's a well established brand.  I don't plan to use it on the sand or even off-road but it should be great for getting around the campgrounds and running to the store when needed.  I can carry it on the back of my Man Van and still pull my kayak trailer.  It has the wide tires but no suspension so I added a suspension seat post and upgraded to a more comfortable seat. I haven't used it much yet but it seems fun to ride and the option of not peddling and moving at 20 MPH is great.  It has disc brakes and a stop light for safety.  I'll have it a Crabfest if you want to take a test ride.

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: Dry vs Semi-Dry Suits

I agree with sending it to the factory.  I had no idea my suit was delaminating but they diagnosed it and did the "right thing".

I sent mine to Kokatat a few years ago for gasket replacement.  Much to my surprise, I received an email from them, informing me that my suit was delaminating and would be replaced with a new one.  A couple of weeks later, I received the new one. No Charge!

I can't really answer your question but I have been wearing a Kokatat Gortex drysuit for more than 10 years.  The neck gasket feels uncomfortable at first but I have found that after a few minutes the discomfort fades.  I never cut the neck gasket or stretch it as some have suggested.  Time just seems to take care of it.

For Sale / Free 15' X 8' Sectional Sofa for your Man Cave - FREE
« on: July 15, 2021, 01:31:47 PM »
I have a huge  15' X 8' sectional sofa that will  be replaced by a new one in a few weeks.  It shows some wear but would be a great addition to a man cave.  It's 3 pieces.  I don't want anything for it but will need to have it picked up promptly in a few weeks when my new one arrives.   it shouldn't be anything that couldn't be hauled in a pick-up.  PM me if your interested and we can arrange things.  It's located in Danville.

General Fishing Tips / Re: preventing corrosion on FF wiring

I lube them up well with dielectric grease and put a plastic bag over them and seal it with a zip tie as tight as possible.  Seems to work.

General Talk / Furniture Refinishing Needed
« on: April 27, 2021, 04:43:14 PM »
Hi guys.  Anybody out there in the Bay area who does furniture refinishing?  I have a small hardwood kitchen dining set that needs to be redone.  I'm not looking to change the look or color.  It just needs "freshening" up.  The finish is starting to wear off on the seats and the top of the table has a few small dings.  I have attached a picture.  Not looking to spend a bundle but I would rather get this one refinished than buy a lesser quality new one.  I have neither the skills or tools to do it myself.  Anybody interested?  Probably worth 3 to 5 hundred bucks to get it done.

I have been using Mirage drives for many years.  Other than a really good rinse with fresh water and a spray with WD40, I have never had to do anything to my drives, accept making sure the tension is proper on the cables.  After 9 years of use, I took my drive to CCK in Oakland for a "tune up'.  It was checked and I was told it needed nothing.  I rarely fish fresh water so rinsing well seems to be the key.  A tip: If you do tighten the cables, make sure you have a proper fitting wrench to hold the fitting that's crimped to the cable or you will destroy the cable.
