I had a little back and forth with Humminbird support. They think I may have screwed up some settings. They said I can put the transducer in a 5 gal bucket and double check the setting tomorrow. I plan to do that. On another note, I finished one more boat related project. So folks don't...

I don't do any regulation. I just run the compressor into the tire valve and it makes bubbles. I fill it about 3/4 full and then add the foaming agent. Works pretty well. The only issue I have, and it is not due to the unit, is that if it is hot and sunny and I'm spraying a large field...

I took a plastic gas can and put a tire valve in the bottom I glued some plumbing parts to the top. I ran tubing from it to the end of my boom. I have since upgraded the air compressor. Very inexpensive if you have more time than money and very effective

I'll have to give that a try. The fish were suspended pretty high today, so I did not try that with my jig. However, I did use a micro crank bait for a while. It floats until you crank it. It seemed to be running awfully shallow, so I did add a split shot to that about a foot above it. I...

Yes, I was in a jam one day and could not find foamer for my po boy foamer. It did not work at all. I needed to be on my hands an knees to see it after spraying. I found it worthless and had lots of holes and gaps in spraying that day.

Well, I went fishing today. Some successes and some issues. First, the mod to the pole worked great. The big success was Megalive 2! I powered on the ethernet switch and then the Megalive 2. The port lite for the Megalive 2 turned green. I waited one minute to be sure. I then powered up...

I reinflated the chamber this morning. So far, so good, it seems to be holding, but the leak was so slow, it will take me a couple weeks to be sure the fixed worked. The 1/4" wire lock pin came in as well. I used it in the Megalive 2 pole. I put a little orange spray paint on the forward...

Hunting and wildlife management is a hobby for me as well and I suspect, for most on this forum. Some of us dive deeper than others into our hobbies. We all have resource limitations, and every location has it's own advantages and disadvantages. I wish there was a magic bean to deal with pH...

Absolutely true. I wouldn't do it myself, but I have heard of guys using a blower to apply lime from the back of a pickup.

I made one more modification today to my Megalive 2 pole. If you recall from previous posts, I did not cement the handle Tee to the pole. One thing I've noticed using it is that the handle and pointer are great when it is deployed, but they make it hard to store. There is a limited position I...

I decided to try to patch the boat today. I mixed up the Aquaseal and accelerator/cure after marking and cleaning the spot of the leak. I also used 2x4s to support the frame on the trailer while the chamber was deflated. With the chamber fully inflated, I applied the Aquaseal liberally to...

I think I'm making some slow progress. One issue was a bad crimp on the power cable for the ethernet switch. The second issue was a bone-head thing on my part. I decided to buzz the power cable to the ethernet switch since I was not getting a power light and I was able to verify power...

I like the way your think! I'm gonna try that one on my wife the next time she thinks I'm spending too much on hobbies!!! 😊

Last time I rented a buggy lime cost me $40/ton

I highlighted the key words in your post. By far the least expensive solution is ag lime. I typically rent a lime buggy from the coop where I buy the lime. I pay a few more $ per ton than I would having it delivered directly from the quarry, but it is far cheaper than pelletized lime...
