Regardless of the era, Miss Budweiser has always been an impressive boat, and arguably one of the most famous off-shore race boats ever. So when I saw this video of the 1980 version of Miss Budweiser, running now at the 2024 Apollo Columbia Cup, I knew I had to share. What’s funny is that I just sat and talked to some of the Vesco Racing team that runs a turbine engine in their streamliner at Bonneville, and some of the coolest Miss Budweiser’s ever were turbine powered.

On Tuesday, licensed Ohio dispensaries began legally selling non-medical marijuana to consumers; however, the drug’s possession, growth and/or usage are still prohibited on Ohio State’s campus.

Most of you have probably never found your engine or transmission dipstick to be off, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t. When you mix aftermarket dipsticks, tubes, and oil or transmission pans, you never really know if any of these go together enough to be accurate on how much fluid is in the transmission or engine. I know that I have filled an engine with the proper amount of oil, according to the oil pan manufacturer, only to find that the dipstick reads a full quart low. Hmmm. I guess that is better than it reading full when it isn’t!

People that don’t use trailers very often often times take years to figure out what they do and don’t like in a trailer. And quite frankly, trailer manufacturers count on that. They add things that sound great, but that sometimes aren’t all that useful. Or they only add four of something you wish you had 8 of. That’s why so many people customize their trailers over time. Hell, my trailer was an ultra simple model when I bought it and I’ve added all kinds of tie downs, ramps, and more to make it a much more comfortable to use tool. To be fair, I have used my trailer WAY more often than most people would in ten lifetimes. But I think that mean’s I’m a pretty good judge on what makes a good trailer good, and a bad trailer bad.

As many of you know, our friend Steve Magnante nearly died from a brain infection he got last year, but has been making big improvements over the past few months.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.
