Good on you, Chuck I quit riding motorcycles probably 40 years ago. But this little squirt opens up some warm possibilities. I sat beside it yesterday for 3 hours, pouring through the owner’s manual. I understand everything mechanical on it. But the smart key is more complicated to use than...

Thanks, Chuck. when you get it, let us know. You can tow your little camp trailer with it. I started riding motor bikes (Whizzer) 70 years ago. Rode them a couple of years and got a car. 60 years ago I rode the Honda 50cc that became the Cub, and then Super Cub. Along the way was a Suzuki...

BEGINNING OF ANOTHER NEW JOURNEY Yesterday, I bought a new motorcycle. It’s a smaller one, a Honda Super Cub 125. Sixty years ago, I had its great granddad, the original Honda 50 cc. I don’t recall if it had a model name at that time -1961. It was just called the Honda go ju. Go ju is...

Kind of a clumsy project, moving a fishing boat into and through a house. I’ll bet that Mom was scurrying along ahead, setting vases etc well back out of the way. I’d take it as a compliment. The young guy obviously loves that boat. Does he have a dog too? A boat, a dog, and a bike - what...

We outlawed’em in Michigan. Instead, we practice up for October Fests. More funner. The headaches can be worse, but the fun part is funner.

We probably should leave this behind, and go back to boats. sigh

Thanks, Mike. We may want to specify your “replaced by a non-democrat” comment to read Republican. There may be a Marxist candisate by then?

I can’t see the woodlines that you say go cattywhumpus, so I dub it “The Swan”.

Failure looks like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Inept, and uncaring.

Take a big log, and cut ot burn or chainsaw away everthing that doesn’t look like a canoe. The out riggers and that sail make it look Polynesian. Maybe he plans to sail it to Hawaii?

Joey Dupre got power and internet back. Keith Davis (Island Piper) lost the roof of his carport. I’ve been throgh typhoons on the South China Sea. I empathize with them.

JD, I’ve paddled and camped Lake Veret. Joey Dupre guided the trip out there interesting area. I made sure to stick close by Joey, so I could get back out. (It ain’t so interesting that I want to remain there.)

Andy, it’s easy to see that the mathematics of aircraft design grew out of ship design.

Something like that, yeah. As a little kid, I was in the woods and fields and streams daily. Even on into high school and through college, I was in the woods at least once a week. Now, when I’m in the woods, it’s a lot like going home again. On YouTube is a bushcrafter named Dan Wowack. He’s...

As a kid, I’d run a half hour to get back in the woods. Now, I realize that the woods will still be there when I get there. Even if that’s tomorrow.

Boats and kids go together like dogs and kids. Or, like olde fartes and fishing poles.

Often, your first clue that a cougar is in the neighborhood is when you have four teeth sunk into the back of your neck. That cougar might well have been watching you while you were watching its track? you did better than me. I’ve never had a cougar follow me, to the best of my knowledge...

Well, I think it looks darned nice!

Though I’ve been close to a mother panther with at least one kitten (fresh pad prints in the sand, and at the same location where my buddy heard the scream) I have never actually heard one scream, nor sighted one. I have no doubt that she sighted me, though. And, probably didn’t like me being...

When I label a loon’s yodel as a “call of the wild”, it echoes inside my head. It usually brings a smile to my face. They are a lovely bird. Another call of the wild affected me differently. A couple of times in the Sierra Nevadas, a wolf would cut loose. In those granite mountains, the howl...
