Walmart does it again. One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, "My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor. "Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies. "There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give...

I will get the kayak paddle before I mess around with the boat. Thanks for your help. Tom

I forgot to ask during my last post. While sitting at my usual Polish bar, bragging about my boat, Sipping a Corona, ( someone else bought it). Someone asked if I put a small skeg, about 1 1/2" or 2" would that help dampen the tippiness. I admitted I did not know, but I know who does know...

Well, I just caught up with this thread, and thought I would post these pics of my Rimple, a form of teardrop, that I built in 2005. I use it a lot because I fish alone, and hate sleeping in the dirt and the mess of a tent. I got on the forum for tear drops, and like this good group, assited me...
