BearRidge; On some of the skeeter mesh, if it is touching your skin, the skeeters can still get to ya thru the mesh. Don't know nothing about hammocks (except for the one in my living room) but is there some way to attach the netting to the rain fly or ropes or something so that the netting...

Chuck; On the paddle from SRSP and Anderson Spring, we encountered 3-4 shoal areas. The first (all the pictures) was the biggest. With another foot or two of water, I doubt you would even know any were there. We did stop by Stephen Foster SP and got a map to hike out and take a look at Big...

This is the second leg of our vacation from back in June/July 2008, first part was 4 days at Little Talbot Island. Then on to Suwannee River SP for 6 days. http://www.floridastateparks.org/suwanneeriver/default.cfm So, after driving in the rain all the from just outside Jacksonville to...

Did a google search for "green peanut recipes", didn't search far into the results, but seems most of the hits were for "boiled peanuts". Did find one for Spicy Asian Pork with Green Peanuts (has fish sauce, so Jack you will love it). http://tinyurl.com/67rqg8 Found a recipe from Paula Dean...

MAS brand, with their SLOW hardener. I will add that stores local to me carry the MAS, Boaters World & West Marine (I think). So I can get what I need in 20 minutes. DM mike

Ya'll are making my brain hurt. DM mike

Nice photos & report. If you didn't say so, I wouldn't have guess that it was that hot. Pictures dont show it. DM mike

Bearridge; I feel your pain, been there, done that. Watch out for rubbing your eyes. Right now in my backyard I have Scotch Bonnets & Datils (both rate up there with the Habs heat-wise, different flavor) growing. Also have some Fresno & Jalapeño (last store bought jalapenos I got had...

My dad talks of having fat sandwiches while he was growing up, cold bacon fat spread on bread. I am 3rd oldest in a family of 8 kids :shock: (just say old catholic family), starting in 1958 to 1973. Parents moved to Florida in 61, when I was 6 months old. Breakfast was always, Monday-eggs...

Leinenkugel right? I remember thats the brand my Grandfather always drank back in the day. DM mike

Chuck; Post here when you get the end pour stuff all finished, and then I will tell ya how to do them. :lol: Actually, Matt's idea sounds logical to me, and probably the way I would do it. DM mike

A montage of NC paddling. Came from one of the TVCC group members. http://www.vimeo.com/1302310 DM mike

Every New Years Eve, my dad would have his jar of pickled herring & crackers. He says its a traditional thing. Dont know if it is Wisconsin/Michigan traditional or German traditional. DM mike

Talked to the leader of our Composites Lab today at work, they do ALOT of cloth layups (both glass & carbon fiber) for space satellite antenna, radomes & military stuff. Tom said to use Iso alcohol instead of Acetone. Acetone will act as a solvent and blow the properties of the epoxy...

Chuck; I have a standard saying about how there is "a little bit of DNA" in everything I build, boats, shelves, wood fences doesn't matter. I usually find a way to scrape a knuckle or drive a splinter in a finger or something, then make it a point to leave a fingerprint on the project...

The one guy was probably wishing he brought the framing nail gun instead of the finishing nail gun. :lol: DM mike

Hey Mick; Yep, that boat is my Perception Sole' (now discontinued). I believe it evolved from the Perception Shadow (pictured below, but it looks the same, except mine doenst have a rudder). The Sole is 14' long, and my number 1 boat off the rack for just paddling, especially when I dont know...

Jack; Heres a few more ways to tell I am camping with the girlfriend beside the table cloth. 1. You can see my van in a picture. No primitive camping for her 2. I have the big tent on the trip. The air mattress wont fit in my North Face Rock 22 or my Eureka. The tent pictured is actually...

Me and the girlfriend spent a few days at the end of June camping at Little Talbot Island State Park, just North of Jacksonville, Florida. http://www.floridastateparks.org/littletalbotisland/default.cfm Nice park, check in at the ranger station and the campground is back out the main gate and...

My take on the never ending road construction here, is that we just dont have anywhere to store those millions of orange traffic barrels & cones. So it is easier to start some new construction and strategically relocate the barrels & cones there than find a warehouse large enough to store them...
