I have a piece 15” wide 2” thick and 27” long. I traded something for it a couple of years ago and I’m not sure I’ll ever use it. Kind of a bad trade on my part I guess. If anyone wants to pay the shipping and a donation to a charity I’ll send it. Of course I’ll share pics of the piece if...

When I was living in a wall tent I had an Aladdin mantel lamp and it gave off wonderful light and heat. We seem to have a power outage at least once a year here in Maine and now that I think about it I should buy another one for times I’m not running the generator. Jim

I had a pair of Whites boots when I worked for the BLM doing survey work. Those were great boots, but they are gone now. I do still use an anorak I bought at LL Beans in 1971 when I was in college not far from the store. Jim

Those clothespins do the trick alright. Jim

Ok now I’m hungry. I was out to dinner last night and instead of a burger I got a chicken dish first time there so I went with something I don’t make at home. The table next to us the man ordered the burger and instead or one of those fancy toothpicks to hold it together like a normal restaurant...

I lived in Saranac Lake from ‘72 to ‘77 and left when we heard the Olympics were coming in the ‘80’s just didn’t want to see the changes. I did come back in the early ‘90’s after my divorce. It had changed but for the better I think. I spent 30 years living in the Hamptons as a worker bee and...

Welcome to the campfire Brookie. Jim

Here are some pics of the snow. Jim

The way the deer are eating the shrubbery around our house they must be hungry due to the snow we have gotten in the last week or so. Normally they don’t come this close to the house. Jim

Welcome to the campfire Scot. I’m a wooden boat guy too but I also have a Kevlar and a carbon fiber solo canoe. Nothing feels like a wood and canvas boat so comprises will have to be made. Good luck in your search. Jim

About 14-16” here in mid coast Maine. Did a bunch of shoveling yesterday and it snowed again last night so a quick shovel job yet this morning. Good news is we did not lose power. Jim

If you can insulate do it. I live in a 200 year old house with no insulation in the walls that are still original. The cold air finds its way in. Now your cabin might have a tighter seal in general than my house but it will be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter with insulation. Jim...

Got it thanks. Jim

It is impressive but how did you know Alan? Jim

Secure the cord and rotate the paddle to wrap it, would that be easier? Jim

Congratulations Art. I’ll check it out later this evening. Jim

What a great photograph. Jim

Snapper if you look up the symptoms, one of them is mental confusion. You sure had that big time. I had mild confusion for about a month after I finished the meds. I just couldn’t work on anything complicated, it actually for me was most disturbing because I’m always doing something or working...

Being sick while traveling is my worst nightmare. I’m sorry your son went through that. They ran the test for me because all it presented in me was an unexplained fever, you couldn’t even see the bite location anymore. As it turns out I live in the county with the highest cases of anaplasmosis...

Welcome to the campfire H2O, thanks for throwing another log on the fire. Interesting seat design, I wonder if it is hinged so it swings out of the way for over the head portage. Jim
