  1. ......"You are now charged with the responsibilities that come with that degree..." I heard that sentence at my buddy's college graduation from Rolla. I graduated from HS, but that was where I stopped. I have heard the statement many times, and many ways, you are responsible for your actions. I understand that. But now, upon hearing this, I realized, I am also responsible for my inaction. I knew this before, but hearing it, made something really click. All of that to say, you are right. But also I have higher chances of bringing it to you all. I am responsible to keep from infecting the others. I am more worried about affecting others. I wont drink and drive, not because I'm afraid to die, but because I am afraid to kill others and I will live. I wear my mask to reduce the chances of me passing possible virus, germs, etc.
  2. I seen a comment on this video that said people who rent canoes,kayaks, boats, etc should have to watch this. I'm in full agreement.
  3. Interested, but I am a worry wart, and I worry about the covid. We will see if the "election prophecy" holds true. If so, I plan to be there, if not, I may not.
  4. But, but, but.... they have Jerseys. That's gotta make them better. Right? Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'll go home now.
  5. Sounds like a great time. Glad you put up a report. Enjoy your new job, you'll be out soon.
  6. That's the biggest one I've ever seen. Good job Livie. (And family)
  7. It is decent. I got it because of weight. It is advertised as 3.6, lucky to be 2.0 hp. About the size of a weed eater motor. It gets about 3mph, no battery weight.
  8. Went fishing Wednesday night, nothing of size. The creek is far from pretty, the dam is cool. Nice to have the 10'er out.
  9. Ouch! I dont think a slap is good enough. If that didn't teach you, a slap sure wont. Sorry to see that damage.
  10. Looks like a useful tool. Price isn't horrible, especially if it saves the day.
  11. Or fuel/ road tax. I don't hate bicycle riders, I enjoy the trails. I do not appreciate them taking up a lane in the city, cutting off faster vehicles switching lanes. Then they dont adhere to the traffic lights, stop signs etc. We share the road, you share the laws.
  12. I enjoy the art of haggling. It it's a set price, I'm willing to pay. If its possible to haggle, and I get someone who challenges me, I enjoy it. I will buy other items I don't even want or need, if they offer as part of the "deal".
  13. I Never was cool, but I still play on a skateboard. It was always the outcast thing to do, but I enjoy it.
  14. My local bike shop was South Side Cyclery in St Louis city. We would ride the dirt jumps at Carondelet Park. I always wanted to get into the long distance biking, just never did. Couldn't afford the quality stuff, it would be stolen if you could. I did do the Moonlight Ramble a few times. Had fun with my boys doing it.
  15. I wont be going into white water (on purpose anyway). I plan to use it on ponds small lakes and creeks. I have a medical condition where I can catch nasty infections in my legs and feet from "dirty" water. I have to be extremely careful around the water. I usually bank fish, and I'm hoping this will make it possible for me to be able to get places average guys can wade to. I have more options than money, so I think I will go with the foam, wrapped with 1/4 inch luan coated in resin. I think I can make it look decent, and be functional. I worry about the toons, and hooks. Thinking of how I can wrap a plastic FRP board around them in the cover. I got some time before fall. I will pick through trials and errors. Kind of thinking about cedar stripping the foam toons, but the fiberglass gets pricey for a cheap project.
  16. This is the frame, it has a sliding casting deck. Also is the possible donor raft. I got the Creek Company pontoon along with the Fish Cat.
  17. Funny you say that as I believe Gavin has 2 for sale. I did consider that. I would hope someone who has kids would take his deal though.
  18. So he's not really a bad guy? It's all a mask?
  19. I'm not interested in becoming a rower but I do respect those who can. Hargroves may be an option for OEM, or aftermarket equipment. Good to know. Just a toy for me. More so interested in the powered option. @BilletHead's picture is close to what it would look like unfinished, but I plan to enclose them similar to catamaran style as @tjm mentioned. I've checked YouTube, seen many options, but with my A.D.D. I will keep watching, and never start doing. I have a side plan, with a 10' blow up raft, Zodiac style. I believe the side and front bladders are 1. The benches are separate. I may strip/cut the floor off of it and use the main hose shoe bladder as the float for the tube. It is a small sacrifice, the raft doesn't get used often, picked it up at a garage sale for cheap. Got my money out of it.
  20. 75? I wouldn't have put you over 73 last time I saw you.
  21. But they did. Not instantly, they were allowed to complete the tour. Willy Wonka was kicking them out when Charlie gave back the Everlasting Gobstopper (he felt he did not earn it). Because Charlie gave it back, willie had a change of heart. I've seen it a few too many times. My kids range from 20 to 10. With nieces and nephews added in.
  22. I just bought a Fish Cat personal inflatable pontoon frame. It did not come with pontoons. I plan on using pink insulation foam, with 1/4 inch skid plates to make pontoons. My question is why use 1 over the next? I estimate them to be 10 feet long, 8-10" wide 8-10" tall.
  23. Glad you are ok. I was wondering about you.
  24. Anyone have or remember the commercial with the two old men trying to catch a fish called BUBBA?
  25. Released so others can have a chance.
