Looked threatening for a while, but held off.

S'upp y'all
Just got a call from mookie's head pro who is re-gripping his irons. He tells Mookie that the wedges are non-conforming.
Mookie swears he downloaded a pdf and checked those out. Now Mookie has some extra work to do this morning

Heh. That's a big thumbs up.
So yesterday didn't turn out so bad after all. Today though? I think Wednesday is the new Tuesday.

Checking in, Lodgers. Have been off for 6 days, which has been a pleasant scheduling blip. Nice weather, getting stuff done around the house. Lots of trips to donation box and recycling bin (we have large industrial ones in our complex). Also have been crafting like crazy -- awaiting for the recipients to receive their stuff before I post on FB.
Not much to add to the convos -- not a huge Miata fan, but congrats to Twitch for buying something he really wanted! I try to be understanding about babies on planes -- or anywhere really. It's one thing to have a baby/toddler acting their age in a new environment, it's entirely different when the parents are either unprepared or doing nothing to ameliorate the situation.
goldy -- what kind of boat? Electric, gas, row?

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #184: The 2016 Frozen Four
Manual went well - had it pretty much down cold before I left the parking lot. Stalled a couple times at lights getting it home because I was trying to rush it.
I'm pretty good with the clutch, my problem is throttle modulation. You graze the throttle on that thing and it leaps up to 4000 before you can react. It's tough to find 1500-2000 RPM so I can slowly let the clutch out and not worry. I'm used to my Wrangler where you have to push the gas hard to get any revs out of it.

If you feel or hear the engine starting to sputter and stall while you're starting from a dead stop, don't be afraid to push in that clutch again and take your foot off the gas pedal. The engine should recover and then you can start again, this time with a small bit of forward velocity to aid you in your shift as you shouldn't have touched the brake pedal at all during the process.
It reads like you have a tendency to give it too much gas should, which shouldn't cause you to stall. If anything, it should almost feel like you're dropping the clutch and/or attempting a spin the tires.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #184: The 2016 Frozen Four
Probably more info than you need or want, but...
I am focusing on a trailerable aluminum fishing boat, 16-17 feet length, deep vee hull, console steering (which for lakes is generally side console, offshore boats tend toward center console), gas outboard motor 50-75 horsepower plus a bow-mounted electric trolling motor. Big enough to take onto larger lakes, but light enough for my Outback to tow. Enough engine to move around fairly quickly, not enough to weigh down my tow vehicle or guzzle gas. Used, several years old to keep price down. There are enough around that I should be able to find a decent deal.

That's it - either I launch like a scalded dog, or I anticipate, overcompensate by not giving ENOUGH gas, and stall like a goof.
It'll come with time I think.

First car (when I legally could drive) was a Toyota 4Runner stick shift. Had a Nissan X-Terra (*shudder*) after that was stick as well. City living and an automatic Camry enabled me to go about 6 years without driving a manual and when I bought my Mini in 2014, it came right back. 1 or 2 stalls and then it was like I'd never cheated on my love of manual transmissions.
Nice! Hoping my brother will help my dad put his boats in the water when he comes home next weekend. Dad had a hip replacement in March and can't do it anymore (normally is a 2 person job, dad and a good friend usually do it). Has a 16 foot aluminum fishing boat with small electric motor for our 1.5 mile lake and a 75HP outboard motor boat (17feet) for waterskiing/tubing/playing.
Definitely comes with time and you don't forget. It's also a valuable skill. I'm sure I relayed this here, but my second mom (best friend's mom) taught my best friend and I to drive a stick on an old Jeep at age 13. This way if we were ever at a party and felt unsafe or were with someone who was no longer able to drive, we could at least get ourselves home (if we didn't feel we could call an adult). Joys of country living.

Find an empty school parking lot and just practice. Every car model has a different combination for finding the sweet spot of letting out the clutch and giving it gas, so there's not a magic answer out there any of us could give you. I've only driven a Miata once, many years ago, and remember the clutch's friction point being about midway through the motion, maybe a little higher than midway, and its gas pedal acting much different than my Bronco II. This was a 96 or 97 model Miata.

We've got a 2002 I/O Glastron 18.5 foot that's been kept in great condition, but sounds a little bit for what you're looking for.
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #184: The 2016 Frozen Four
Too heavy for me to pull. A co-worker has a Lund that he wants to sell me that would be great, but it's a tiller and my back doesn't do well after a day on the lake driving a tiller. Also not too interested in an I/O, too hard to work on.
