Why is it that when I'm running off external power (summertime its plugged into a cigarette lighter in the boat, in the winter its hooked up to the snowmobile/atv), It still shuts down. It won't turn on. Then I put fresh AA batteries in, and it runs fine. When running off external power, shouldn't it run forever. It did it again today, I checked the "pages" screen and it says its running off external, blah,blah,blah..... is this thing just wired to only work that way, or do i have a faulty cord, or possibly the unit? I love this thing, but luckily I had some extra batteries, otherwise today would have been scary in this fog. Thanks for your help.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
