Correction, I’m not upset that HOA isn’t fixing it. Just annoyed at whoever broke my mailbox & just blaming on HOA. Absolute for no reason lol

Ya, I know that is aggravating. Our street has one of these cluster mailboxes, that we took up a collection for and purchased. What happens about once a year, although it's under a street light, some jerks break into the deposit box and flips a bar which opens them all up -

So, I just deposit mail in the mornings and pick it up shortly after it's delivered in the afternoons.

I can see the mailbox from my side porch and closely watch anybody messing around there at night.

Now, I wouldn't shoot anyone over a bunch of mail, but I figure the sounds of a couple of rounds coming from my old .45, flying over there head, may scare them off ..

(back in the day, I would have taken my ax handle down there and whacked them a few times -

)

Yeah, yeah, mystery solved some salvage tug was towing the ship some 3 weeks ago... but um... the ship has been missing since 2009! Surely there is more to the story... http://]https://www.google.com/amp/s...-asia-45377707

Is the news really this dumb or is it click bait? Probably both?

The last reported position is based on an AIS transponder report. This works similar to ADS-B (aircraft), but for ships. It is not necessarily well regulated in certain regions and relies on the vessels owner to configure it properly. My guess is the boat was sold, and the buyer just turned the transponder off. Further investigation will likely reveal that the boat was active until recently, and may have taken part in illegal/clandestine activity.

Plausible.

Yeah cluster mailboxes is the mailbox I have. If it was reg mailbox, sure I'll gladly fix it to some hot pink or sky blue mailbox.

Just thought those cluster mailboxes require special lock... but nope, they had simple locker locks. So I replace it yesterday. Took me 2 mins.

To be very precise I am here https://www.zf.com/usa_canada/en_us/..._court_us.html all week. Longer if I can’t get a flight out on Thursday.

Awfully complicated tranny for 8 and 9 horsepower engines.

Gotta get the best outta those engines somehow. Just think of the possibilities with the right final drive. Smoke a Twin easily.

Well crap. Bad news for my golf cart fix. Buggies Unlimited just got back to me and they don't rebuild the old Yamaha 2-strokes anymore.

Maybe I could just swap a 8 or 9 HP motor with one of those 8 or 9 speed trannies Tcoat is working on. I bet they have reverse.
