not far from the crack house was the "pot" house....they were using so many grow lights that the electric meters were spinnin like tops...no harm to the environment.....but they got caught. the area used to be one of the most remote parts of long island in winter...we would cross country ski for hou...

bruce....i wonder if weakened spark is part of the throttle up problem i have with my starboard engine. it runs fine at idle and low RPM but the throttle is always more advanced than the port for the same RPM...didnt used to be that way and its not the cable.

randall

thanks bruce...surely something to consider...how about replacing the zip ties with those 4 spot spreader do hickies?

randall

thanks for the tip bruce...why is that?...they rub up against the manifolds pretty good.

john...only the port engine came out

randall

randall

randall

that was nice...more artistic than the usual surf vid...heres one of the sickest wave on the planet...highlights the difference between tow in and paddle in....when its smaller people actually paddle into this thing.....my next door neighbor tried it............one time http://www.surfline.com/video...

randall

thats why you kick it away from you....its not consistant but montauk can be very very good.....very good....rock reefs and sticking 120 miles out into the ocean equal good waves...however block island is even better...its always offshore somewhere....my son's gonna see peter next week ..ill tell hi...

randall

harry...camera is mounted to the tail of the board...this is not a new idea but with modern digital tech the camera can be much smaller than older larger (and somewhat dangerous) installations. then of course you need a surfer who can get deep. one of my most memorable waves in hawaii was just like ...
