Laughing Cow cheese........... Chuck: I have to ask the obvious question... is it better than from cows that are sad? Do they have fat cow, skinny cow or brown cow cheese? How now brown cow......how is your cheese? JC Jim

BearR and Kjack: That stove is the main reason why my utility bill has never been over $150 a month this winter. The highest my utility (gas and electric combined) bill this winter was $156.50 for the month of January. I usually pay about $200 to $300 for a large load of wood (about 10 face...

I voted for more than 52. I heat my home in the winter with flames, so I had at least a hundred or more. I hope this isn't cheating or skews your results. If it does just subtract one vote from the 52 column! :roll: JC Jim

T Busy: Nice runabout. There was one here where I live, for sale, that just sold for $5000 without the motor. It was built from plans from Popular Mechanics or one of those old mags. When I was a teenager, I built a 3 point hydro, from plans from Popular Mechanics and raced it in local...

I am going to buy a new camera for use when out fishing and paddling. What should I look for in a new camera? Waterproof? Size? Cost(is more better)? Thanks JC Jim

Hey Redfisher, I just bought a 54" Beavertail (straight) paddle for $15 at a garage sale and wonder if I got a good deal. Do you know anything about them? I am going to use it for a backup paddle. JC Jim

Bellybuster: I bought the hatches you see in the photo above, in a canoe & kayak shop. They are 8" and cost $8.00 each (USD). JC Jim

Tiki: Welcome to the group. Here is a photo of my piro showing a hatch in the bow. And also one in the stern. It is basically a watertight compartment. I use it to store my cell phones and cameras. You may want to consider doing this instead of using a block of foam for flotation. My...

Bob: Welcome to the group (?) I would call RAKA or go to their website. They have everything you need for the UJ kit. They can tell you how much tape you will need. I taped my UJ kit on the inside chines and on the outside. I did not use cloth on the bottom or sides. It is very strong...

K Jack: It wasn't a rumor. JC Jim

Jack: Red Skelton is on XM Satellite radio. They have a channel that plays all the old radio shows. It is my favorite channnel. Channel 164. And no commercials on the music channels. It's only about 125 bucks a year. JC Jim

WOW! Awesome pics, Piper & Laflyfisher. Looking at the boats that Keith & Seedtick brought makes me think I better switch to stamp collecting or collecting used books! The quality and skill is very evident in those photos. If I sold some mutual funds, I probably could afford to buy one...

Tom: I was just cruising the forum and saw your post of the Airgun match, so I clicked on it and eventually ended up at Fletcher's website. On his webpage was the name of Rudy Merz. What a surprise! Rudy hired me in 1964 as a draftsman to work at Crosman. The thing that sticks out in my...

I think someone should check those Hurricanes that Piper drinks! Jim

Mick: I like the beautiful beaches, but where are the beach bunnies? I wish it was warm here in Upstate NY, the weatherman is calling for lake effect snow for Tuesday and Wednesday. There is a cold front coming down from Canada and is supposed to cover the eastern half of the country this...

Chuck & Bearridge: Thanks for the comments. The pictures are actually of the bay and not the lake. The lake is about 1/4 mile north of where I put in. If you go to the website in my posting, and locate Braddock Bay on the map, my buddy lives on the west side of the bay right where the spit...

Well, people, I finally got a chance to put the piro in the water and spend about 45 minutes paddling it. I took it to my buddies house on the shore of Braddock Bay State Park, which is about 7 miles west of where I live. It is a bay off of Lake Ontario, where I live. It is protected from the...

Jdupre: I weighed my UJ piro today and it weighs 57 lbs. 15' 8" at gunwale. 4 ribs plus inside chine. My first build - it is 3/16" ply. My next one will be 1/8" ply. Only glassed the inside and outside seams, I did not glass the entire bottom or the inside. Three coats of resin on the...

Okay People : Grab your favorite libation and a comfortable chair and check out this unusual launching. A comment about the pics first ..... No PFD. I did not intend to go into water deeper than my knees, this launching was to test the airtight compartments and not to paddle around...
