Somebody is going to want it. It really is a top shelf canoe. Mad River Royalex = somebody wants it. Edit: Gavin is no stranger to top shelf either. He's got nice boats now. But there is the N+1 theory to factor in.

Locked for now. Can't believe a thread like this is going sideways. But it is. Anyone who disagrees, PM me or any of the other moderators.

I made myself watch "Saving Private Ryan" yesterday. And the full series of "Band of Brothers" last week. Anyone who doesn't fully appreciate the sacrifice and hardships conquering Germany involved needs their head examined. My mother was in the first graduating class of enlisted WAVES in WWII. My dad flew on B-24's with the Army Air Force. My mother's brother was a USN Corpsman in the South Pacific. My uncle by marriage was in the USMC, in North Africa among other places. A family tradition that was the norm in those times. IMHO, it's a crying shame that our country now has very few veterans in positions of leadership. And the vast majority of the population of the U.S. doesn't even know an active duty service member. Disrespect for veterans coming from the highest levels too. It all comes from no skin in the game. "Thank you for your service" are now mostly empty rote words that are intended to make the speaker feel better, not so much the person hearing them. Rant over.

It is. Done that too.

My canoe days are over. So the best boat I ever had is now for sale. Mad River Legend 15. Designed for light tandem or solo loaded. Royalex. Kevlar skid plates put on when the boat was new. You will not find a better more respected brand than Mad River and this boat is one of their best. This boat has not been used hard or put away wet. Always stored under cover. $1500 for the forum. Seat backer and paddles thrown in. USMC sticker stays here. In a week it goes on FB market place. This one's gonna sting a little, but it's time. So here's your opportunity.

RIP Lefty. We lost a good one. Kind to everyone, I'm going to miss him.

I'm really glad you enjoy that enough to go to all the trouble. It does look and sound really good. When I still squirrel hunted, we made squirrel cacciatore often. It's a good way to deal with the tough ones. Basically pan fried like yours and then stewed in Italian gravy with lots of peppers, onions and garlic. Your choice of pasta to serve it over. Bowties were my usual.

Wear gloves. Which you should be doing anyway with what you've got going on. They'll also help with protecting your hands in the event of another fall.

Somewhat. Take the correct precautions is the take away.

They're invasive too. Just a little earlier.

Milo? Dignitaries?

When a woman thinks you're gonna give her cooties it's tough to change her mind. So yes, it's a concern.

You have a good wife.

Gulf Shores Alabama is nice for the beaches and the fishing can be very good. Not that bad of a drive really.

Radar looks like more on the way.

Some places are wetter than average, other places are drier than average. That's how we get to average.

Better mounted than fried.

Bass that size really aren't the best table fare. I don't think I would have put a knife on it.

Where'd you get that cool fly display stand?

Think of it more as another old fart with plenty of time on his hands yanking your chain. So watch out, it ain't gonna stop. Got to keep you on your toes.

Good luck. Hope it goes well for you.

You made me curious, so I looked at a current drought map. Bootheel and some of extreme SEMO still in moderate drought. The rest of the State is normal.

I would not know. We have had 27 inches of rain here since April 1. Nothing worse than a few hailstones on the severe side of things though thankfully.
