Hilarious. I've seen that bit in another context. Truly laugh out loud funny.

Doug and I are ironing out some final issues, but I have assumed the Administrator’s duties. I feel honored to undertake the stewardship of this fine board. Keeping up with the daily posts is mostly a joy, due to our users’ passion and dedication to canoes and canoetripping. Thank you all for...

I am glad that I am not the only one who misplaces tools constantly. Funny idea, leave a plastic skull under the new deck, for some far in the future shock and laughs. Kind of like planting a tree. You might not be around to fully enjoy it, but it's nice knowing someone else will.

"Shuttlecock" that's a new one on me, haha. The older I get, the more I want to just go with the flow in all things. Pretty big with long legs for a fox, but hard to get perspective from the pic. Great TR, thanks.

Always enjoy seeing those historic photos and hearing about the old ways.

You wrote: "having the ability to rope in/secure a float bag would be helpful" Float bags are good insurance even on flatwater, in my opinion, but others are less enthusiastic about it. I guess manufacturers do not make the float bag attachment points standard equipment because they want to...

Enjoyed the photos especially. Very nice.

As I am sure we can all attest, you meet some of the best people when paddling. I met Dave on the island in Rock Pond upstream of Little Tupper. He quickly offered to share the island, and I took him up on it. I found out in a hurry that this guy was accomplished, and living a full life. He was...

Scratchypants, thank you for your comments. Your stated background certainly makes you qualified to assist us in generally understanding the possible implications of the hack. What is CourseHero and why is the data posted there? It looks like a legitimate educational site. One website stated...

Glenn, your post #18 states "The New York Times," without further comment. This is evidently a claim that the NYT is fiction because of its editorial decisions. With the election a little over 4 weeks from now, I cannot just brush it off. Please, everyone, do not respond to Post #18. I look...

I don't know why I never thought to try lichen as a firestarter. I will now. Thanks for taking us along.

Canotrouge: I too have found it takes work to find thin, tight-weave wool shirts suitable for summer use. I want a shirt, not a jacket, gol dern it. I had a Woolrich 70/30 wool/nylon shirt that was perfect. I left it on the back of a chair at a rest stop on the NY State Thruway last year. I'm...

Cheeseandbeans mentioned: "50 year old Filson or Pendleton wool shirts." I agree. Nothing beats a button down long sleeve wool shirt for temperature range versatility, comfort, and style. Somewhat worn ones are available cheap on ebay.

Great work. She's a beauty.

I enjoyed that. Dry humor appreciated.

Frozentripper: Regarding your use of the phrase “scantily clad b*tches” in post #3 above, can’t we do better? In our present coarse culture, the word “b*tch” does not carry the weight it once did, but it is not a wholly positive or necessary word to use either.

I was there last September and the road was not bad, fwiw. In another thread some time ago, I said I thought the carry at Lila was too rough in too many spots to make a cart worthwhile. Others respectfully disagreed.

Well done. Flag Blue looks terrific. I would love any details on the use of hinges for the detachable yoke.

Sweet trip and report. Love the homemade buck saw. Sturdy!
