A couple of quick observations; -I used the Ultraply and liked it. Seemed more solid and consistent than typical luan, while still being cheap. -Wider would be more stable. -Heavier would tend to be more stable, too, although if you are car-topping you probably don't want to earn the...

I'm having a hard time figuring out why you don't just rig up a steering system to steer the motor. I understand the "hands free" part, but wouldn't it be simpler to construct foot controls that rotate the motor? (I'm probably missing something here - sorry). For speed control, I don't think...

Ah, which Home Depot is that? Got directions or a GPS coordinate or something? Not that I'm gonna go there, you understand. Just want to make sure I'm avoiding the right store. George

That was the best part of your post. I remember when P.J. O'Rourke used to write a column for Road & Track. He was funny as heck at the time. George

:D

That's sensible advice. I'd be awfully surprised if you couldn't correct this problem with some acetone. If you give it a good rinse with some solvent and allow plenty time to dry (which won't be long with acetone), it should be fine. Another thing you could do if you want to go all-out is to...

LMAO! :lol: :D Good one.

Thanks for taking the time to post this. Your boats and the way you build them are radically different from anything most of us will ever try. We can dream about it though. George

I've also heard that taking a tablespoon per day of locally produced honey helps with allergies. Seems sensible, in that the honey would have all sorts of pollen in it. Haven't tried this, since my schnoz doesn't really bother me that much. Haven't got Sherri to try it either, as she doesn't...

I once felt a migraine coming on - flickering lights, headache, general disorientation. Treated it with several glasses of bourbon. Got immediate relief. You don't want to overdo the bourbon, though, or you will experience flickering lights, headache, and general disorientation. Seriously...

Damn, man. That's cold. :D George

I suppose there are plenty of different ways to clean the inside of a water bottle, but I'm surprised at the no bleach part... would chlorine bleach attack stainless steel??

Tomatoes, potatoes, corn, and tobacco all were "discovered" and taken back to europe. They'd never seen any of it until they came to America. And, oddly enough, there were no horses or pigs on the American continent before Europeans brought them here. The whole horse culture of the plains...

Remember to keep that mess off of your skin as much as possible. And wear a mask if you have to sand it. The fumes don't amount to much, from everything I've read, but the dust ain't good for you. George

Excellent links. Thanks to each of you. GBinGA

Mick- Most of us would consider PA (Pennsylvania) at least somewhat Yankee :) but it is a lovely state full of farm land and good solid people. The big cities (Philadelphia and Pittsburgh) are... well, they are big cities. What can you say. But I've spent some time working up there and...

Thanks, Mick. Here is a link to a post Jdupre made a while back. Nice catch of what we call Bream here in the states. We call them bream or bluegill or a variety of subspecies names like warmouth, shellcrackers, etc. Great eating, but small. The ones Joey shows next to his flyrod range from...

:D Got a feeling the gardener is in BIG trouble. GBinGA

Nice! Was that on lake, or on the river? George

Mick, David - What are you calling a bream? Here in the states we call a small freshwater perch family fish a bream. We call them bluegills, also. Same family of fish. What I'm talking about, if it is the size of my hand I feel like I got a nice one. Very good eating fish, but very small...
