    Spring Whitewater Paddling has Begun

    There is a canoe race on the St George river here in Maine this coming weekend. I’m not a racer so I don’t plan to be there. Jim

    Tired of restrictive headnets, try this

    I bought one of those for my daughter in the ADK’s and she said it does work. Now I need to order a couple more for work around the yard. Jim

    Turtles are out

    My daughter sometimes helps with the salamanders. I haven’t seen turtles yet we still have some ice on the ponds but we have two pairs of Wood Duck that come to our backyard feeder and they arrived yesterday.

    Hornbeck canoes expanding

    I like to think of autocorrect as a small gnome someplace and he wants to be helpful, but is in fact quite drunk. Jim

    Wool pants

    They were waiting for you. Pm me your address and I’ll get them in the mail. Sane as before, reimburse me the shipping and make a donation to canoetripping or an animal shelter. Jim

    I would hesitate to cut up a slightly used belt from a belt sander. I’ve done that many times. Jim

    Wool pants

    I agree with Glenn. Canoetripping would be a good place to donate to. Alan you already contribute. Jim

    Wool pants

    I can try and measure the remaining ones but even if they are just a bit larger I at least need room to tuck in the shirt. Jim

    Wool pants

    If I did I’d be wearing them, lol. Just remembered I have a pair of wool knickers of the same vintage. I should check on them as I doubt they fit anymore either. Wool knickers anyone? That is what I wore cross country skiing. Jim

    A La Mer du Nord 2025

    The Filson pants are spoken for. Jim
