    dancin' with the flames

    BearR and Kjack: That stove is the main reason why my utility bill has never been over $150 a month this winter. The highest my utility (gas and electric combined) bill this winter was $156.50 for the month of January. I usually pay about $200 to $300 for a large load of wood (about 10 face...

    dancin' with the flames

    I voted for more than 52. I heat my home in the winter with flames, so I had at least a hundred or more. I hope this isn't cheating or skews your results. If it does just subtract one vote from the 52 column! :roll: JC Jim

    Some of my early boats

    T Busy: Nice runabout. There was one here where I live, for sale, that just sold for $5000 without the motor. It was built from plans from Popular Mechanics or one of those old mags. When I was a teenager, I built a 3 point hydro, from plans from Popular Mechanics and raced it in local...

    Cameras - What do you use.

    I am going to buy a new camera for use when out fishing and paddling. What should I look for in a new camera? Waterproof? Size? Cost(is more better)? Thanks JC Jim

    How do I paddle this thing?

    Hey Redfisher, I just bought a 54" Beavertail (straight) paddle for $15 at a garage sale and wonder if I got a good deal. Do you know anything about them? I am going to use it for a backup paddle. JC Jim

    New Builder in Honolulu

    Tiki: Welcome to the group. Here is a photo of my piro showing a hatch in the bow. And also one in the stern. It is basically a watertight compartment. I use it to store my cell phones and cameras. You may want to consider doing this instead of using a block of foam for flotation. My...

    Intro and a couple ??

    Bob: Welcome to the group (?) I would call RAKA or go to their website. They have everything you need for the UJ kit. They can tell you how much tape you will need. I taped my UJ kit on the inside chines and on the outside. I did not use cloth on the bottom or sides. It is very strong...

    My photos from the Ponchatoula Rendezvous

    WOW! Awesome pics, Piper & Laflyfisher. Looking at the boats that Keith & Seedtick brought makes me think I better switch to stamp collecting or collecting used books! The quality and skill is very evident in those photos. If I sold some mutual funds, I probably could afford to buy one...

    Overcoming cabin fever

    Tom: I was just cruising the forum and saw your post of the Airgun match, so I clicked on it and eventually ended up at Fletcher's website. On his webpage was the name of Rudy Merz. What a surprise! Rudy hired me in 1964 as a draftsman to work at Crosman. The thing that sticks out in my...

    Elliott Heads & River (lots of Piccies)

    Mick: I like the beautiful beaches, but where are the beach bunnies? I wish it was warm here in Upstate NY, the weatherman is calling for lake effect snow for Tuesday and Wednesday. There is a cold front coming down from Canada and is supposed to cover the eastern half of the country this...
