I have so many favorite links, I should post all my
bookmarks here. However, to begin with, below are a few of my most often used
web sites. Enjoy.
(...and who caught the five short blasts when the
web site opened? Anyone? Anyone? Okay, they were long
blasts, but long just sounded better than short. Anyone?)
Weather
Underground.com - The best weather site out there. Only $5.00
per year for added benefits.
NOAA
- National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration - Get the weather
right from the source.
Craigslist
- A no nonsense classified listing specific to cities. The URL to
the Dallas Craigs list here. You may navigate to classified ads for
other cities from the main Dallas page. It's a great way to sell or
buy something.
Ebay
- Now who has not heard of Ebay? It's amazing, especially if you are
hunting for something very specific.
Cargo
Law.com - These guys, Countryman & McDaniel, a cargo casualty law
firm in L.A, CA have the most unbelievable, detailed web site devoted to
cargo loss and marine and air casualties. If you like looking
transport related tragedies, as I do, then check this site out!
Also, links to seemingly every possible transport related web camera in
the world. How did they ever compile all of this??? Bravo
Cargo Law guys! Great work! This is possibly my all time
favorite web site!
44
MLB.com - The best site ever
for the time proven Unites States Coast Guard 44' self-righting Motor Life
Boats... possibly the only site in the world with such an extensive
database of the 44 MLB's. I am on a quest for a 44' MLB...at the right price, of
course.... too bad 44344 from my home town was donated to some foreign
country, as many 44's were. Check out how detailed this site is and the almost complete
listing of every 44 MLB produced. Look for the pictures I have
submitted. Clive, the author, is a great guy and has truly dedicate
a huge amount of time to the preservation of the mighty 44 MLB's!
Long live the 44's! My personal thanks to Clive for helping in my
quest for a 44.
Boat
Nerd.com -
If you enjoy Great Lakes shipping as I do, then this is the mother of all
web sites. This web site has it all - videos, sounds, pictures,
nearly real time locations of Great Lakes ship traffic, launching of the
new USCG ice breaker Mackinaw (just have to love it sliding down the
ways), and on and on. Win trips on Great Lake freighter, buy
stuff...just go to this site!
Break.com
- Click on the videos once you get to this web site. Not for the faint of heart.
Not appropriate for children in certain sections, however there are some
of the most off-the-wall, insane videos ever on this site. Okay,
just don't let your kids see this site. This site makes me laugh
time and time again. I'll bet you can't watch just one video.
Did I mention, not for children?
You
Tube.com - You can see hundreds of videos of almost any subject
you can think of. Just use the search box to search for videos.
Search "rough seas" or "GT500 Shelby" for some wild
video clips submitted by anyone. How about "Lake Lewisville Jet
Ski" and watch what fun we have in the Summer.
Roadside
America.com - Looking for unique and off-the-wall tourist
attractions? Why see the normal attractions everyone views year
after year? Check-out this web site. Sorted by State and City,
it's easy to find unique oddities in your area. Gramma will love
it! A two thumbs up by Steve and Becky!
Texas
Muscle Cars.com - A nicely done
web site with high quality 1960's and 1970's muscle cars for sale.
Some cars new; some cars older, but all very interesting. The great
aspect is that this place is close to where I live. I have no
affiliation with this person or business, I simply like their cars.
If you need for me to run to McKinney and provide a detailed, critical
look at a particular car, I will be happy to do so. I'll take pictures,
too. Free for friends; others a slight charge. First rate
muscle cars! 'Makes me itch for one...
Marble
Motors.com - Randy Marble is a
guy in the Dallas / Fort Worth area who, in all his free time, restores
early Japanese motorcycles. "Early" meaning late 1960's
and 1970's. He does fantastic work and I don't hold it against him
that he favors Hondas. He has restored a few early Kawasaki's, so
that redeems him. If you are interested in these motorcycles, as am
I, then get in touch with Randy. Everything he touches turns out to be of
the highest quality. Even his web site has a great look and feel to
it. He always has bike for sale and continues to post pictures of
previous restorations. The Kawasaki Bighorn 350 Randy restored was
museum quality.
Racing
Junk.com - The world's largest
marketplace for everything gear head related. Mostly racing related,
however there are cars, trucks, trailers, heavy equipment, etc., listed.
Steel
Soldiers.com - The premiere
marketplace for former military vehicles, parts, and knowledge. This
is a great place to learn, if you catch OD Fever (Olive Drab Fever).
Dr.
Lyman - The world's expert on Lyman "clinker built"
boats.
Sea
Ray Boats -
The
world's best production boat for your dollar.
Fox
4 DFW.com - Local Dallas TV Channel 4 news (Fox)
CBS
11.com - Local Dallas TV Channel 11 news (CBS) - the news I
watch
Netflix
- For those of us living far away from a video store, this is the way to
rent DVD's. Delivered right to your mailbox. Doesn't get much
easier than this!
Kawasaki
Ultra 250X Get
all the details right here. Note the words, "most" and
"most" in the literature. Oh, yes, "stunning",
too.
City
of Lewisville in Jail Photos -
Well, you never know when my boating friends may end-up in the local gray
bar hotel. This is real time and the folks never look happy.
Check back often, as new guest arrive daily.
Bing
Maps.com - Much more detailed aerial
maps than Google Maps, in my opinion. Give it a try and make sure to
use the "aerial" (not "road") and then "birds
eye" views.
Many,
many more links on the way to be posted soon! Stay tuned!
