    A New Direction?

    I already said too much. I was a biology major in college, I would rather talk about snakes. Actually, I would rather to go back to the days when this forum advised against talking about politics and religion.

    A New Direction?

    I wrote the following last night but wasn't satisfied with it. Will post it anyway. The bill as it was drafted did call for a tax on persons without a qualified insurance plan. The tax is supposed to be high enough to persuade people to get insurance. No percentage was specified, it could be...

    A New Direction?

    This doesn't seem to be about a Doc doing repairs to anyone. From what I have read, this bill is still being debated. There is some talk of doing away with the government insurance part. How do you already know what the final bill will be? Jimmy

    A Scarlet King Snake is like you described. The one in my picture is a Eastern King Snake.

    Never Kill a Black Snake.

    That looks like a Black Rat Snake to me. Here is a pic that I took of a King Snake eating a Copperhead. I have a series from when he was just squeezing it until it was all swallowed.

    Accidental contamination of wood.

    I haven't ever tried it, but I would try cleaning the area with a solvent like acetone. Then maybe try a good cleaner/degreaser. After that dries, try a saturation coat of epoxy on the area and see if it sticks. Watch out for the acetone and keep it away from any flames and in a ventilated area.

    Im a newbie to boat building and need advice!

    My first build was Matt's Touring Pirogue-T which is a very nice pirogue. If the Touring Pirogue T-V had been around then, I likely would have built it. I then built the South Wind 15-30 which I like even better. For a Canadian style, I'm leaning toward the Sasquatch in either 14 or 15 foot...

    Pirogue build in Delaware

    It is looking good. Nice touch on the rub rail. Jack has probably already started on the drunken revelry and I might just have to join him.
