I saw that pot of smoked chili you made. It's now on you buddy.
We're in for beans and cornbread and Lovey is doing some fancy dancy cinnamon rolls for a breakfast.
I know. In those days, Kansas only sold 3.2% beer, in a bar or in a store. Liquor was strictly in state run liquor stores or private clubs for a cocktail. Iowa used to be the same about liquor and wine.
I've done a few in the Shawnee. Grandsons before they owned canoes and kayaks. That Shawnee is about as close to the old jons they used as it needs to be.
The history of the James River is quite remarkable in the history of Ozarks floating. We're blessed to be able to use it as often and as easily as we can today. We're also blessed the clean water regulations we have in place now have brought that river back to the great resource it is and should always be.
By about 30 years. That motor was on a 20'x52" jon that ruled the Osage and Missouri for a while.
Edit: Best story from that boat. Took a couple of nephews night fishing and we had to go buy snacks first. Sardines in mustard sauce and chocolate milk.
Progress!!!! Just a thought - muffs and a hose are easier than a trash can full of water if you have a place to swing that. And if it was mine, I'd be suspicious of a weak starter. Good luck, we all admire your perseverance on this massive project.👍
I'm thinking weather is highly secondary to fellowship, food and fun. Last year's deal was the most fun I've ever had on Taney. BUT it was good Phil had some real fire to get the charcoal going. Man, it was damp everywhere.
Coconut oil fueled diesel vehicles in the Philippines (and I'm sure other places) during WWII. Seems poised to make a comeback as well.
Whale oil lamps are probably not going to make a comeback.
Never forget how the noise from wind turbines causes cancer and you can't watch TV if the wind isn't blowing. And regarding solar power, how do you fly an electric plane at night? Good questions, right?
