  1. I have one for my SIT that breaks down and can store inside the hatch. It attaches by way of two pipes that go through the scuppers. The beach carts have balloon tires that might be better for boondocking.
  2. I do wonder about pollution. We know there is some going into the lakes and rivers close to cities like Springfield and it will become more concentrated if it isn't flushed.
  3. I would be skeptical, looks like he's selling. Bluegills are pretty easy to catch on buggy, leggy flies, it's finding them that generally is the problem.
  4. Kc I've met gotmuddy and he didn't look Chinese, could have fooled me.
  5. As a rule a V bottom will draft more than any other hull. If you have any options you might want to consider them.
  6. I believe the biggest problems the Chicks had were twofold. one they chose to voice their opinion to a British audience knowing it wouldn't fly with their normal audience. They knew what the were doing and they didn't lose their livelihood, they just changed fans. It was also their choice to go on a political tour. I don't think they did any whining about it.
  7. They are fun. I've never had one on the long rod, that had to be even more exciting.
  8. I'm not sure how any legal transaction makes the individual bad or pertains to healthcare. Before anyone decides we would be better off with a Canadian style healthcare system Google information about their waiting lists and survival rates. .While you doing it don't forget their population is less than a third of ours. We're also talking about somewhere in the vicinity of 16% of the population and that is in a bad economy. I'm not sure what in the bill addresses affordable? Putting limitations on insurance companies, letting pharmaceuticals have a bye and not addressing litigation clearly smells of of a lawyer run congress protecting their cash cow and bringing down insurance companies to open the door for national healthcare.
  9. The gymnastic announcers, especially the men's , don't seem to understand that all we see is what the camera shows. I had a hard time following last night because it seemed they were talking about scores of it that I couldn't see.
  10. Chief seem to want to imply that that my having conversations with Canadians here was hearsay, but your conversations in Canada with Canadians weren't, or something to that effect? I don't think anyone thought your experience was hearsay, but apparently mine was. That wasn't the point at all, I was just pointing out that my knowledge of cancer wasn't hearsay either, or putting it another way unverified. You put the word hearsay in the debate. Apparently I'm lying short of producing verification?
  11. Hearsay about what? Jack Canadians that I've spent a lot of time with have a different view. No hearsay about cancer, I've had more than my share of expedience with it. Try 9 cases in my immediate family of parents and siblings.
  12. When they opened the High Road, about 10 years ago, it was going to take some pressure off the strip by diverting traffic around to SDC and West Branson and TR lake. The problem was no one from outside the area knew where it went or what it was for. For several years it had a 55 MPH speed limit and virtually no vehicles. It was strange to be on a rural divided 4 lane highway with limited access and a narrow 2 lane speed limit.
  13. My experience, spending the winter with Canadians, and being in long term contact with a couple we consider good friends says otherwise Jack. The cancer survival rates are highest in the US and with or without insurance there is no effort to catch cancers. No doubt it might have helped your MIL, but you can't apply her experience to the population. I lost my dad, my sister and a grandmother to cancer, all had insurance and one was on Medicare.
  14. I would think in the 16-17" range, but there is no way to really put it in perspective. Irregardless it's very nice and certainly memorable..
  15. Nice post, especially on a hot day.
  16. Rubber bands. Take a piece of mono and pull the band trough the hole in the sinker and trim. I like egg sinkers for rivers or rocky areas because I don't think they are as likely to wedge in rocks.
  17. I have a rule, avoid any part of the strip between new 65 and 165. The landing stands alone as an area to avoid. I lift the rule between November and February. If forced I will travel between Fall Creek road and 65 sometimes.
  18. FYI the beef pork mixture that they apparently use is available at Harter House. The claim that it's a better more juicy burger is true on my Weber.
  19. Or a Canadian, the ones I know would prefer our system. Our cancer survival rates are the best in the world, not bad for a broken system. There's a mixed message through all of this thread, part of it concerns how the Affordable Care Act will change our access to health care and part of it is directed towards what is lacking in our access to health care. All the act is going to do is muddy the water and put more people on the government dollar. The cash cow for lawyers, aka the pharmaceuticals, was given a bye. The figure for failure to by insurance is given as 2.5% of income or $695 X ?, family members I think. There is no penalty for not paying, but they will deduct anything owed from rebates and no liens will be attached to property. I can't guarantee this is accurate because there is very little information coming through the transparency portal. Obviously if you don't want to spend thousands on health care there is a way out, at least until this act fails and the government does what it always wanted, to take over health care. Justin how is this going to affect you regarding your employees?
  20. Is it 4WD? The banks are getting a long way from the roads. I know the fish are getting more and more concentrated, I just hope too many aren't ending up in hot grease.
  21. Yes, I saw a Koi in TR that was about 16". I was carp fishing and was bringing in a common and the Koi followed it until it saw me. It could have been a bait that escaped or one that got evicted from his tank because he grew too much. He'll live as long as any other fish under the circumstances.
  22. I seem to remember that, but what beer? I'm thinking Hamms or PBR, but not sure.
  23. You right and wrong about that Justin, being something of a smart A answer, they don't just use it like a dr's office but a drug store also. My wife worked a rural ER and people would come in with a headache and say they didn't have any aspirin or Advil. Cost would have to be realistic before any real reform could work. You can't charge an insured person less, much less, than someone who isn't insured. You have to introduce competition. There should be standards for health insurance benefits and companies should be able to offer their plans nationwide. If the cost remains as it is proposed it will be the first bill in history to do so. There are some questionable figures, such as the 500 billion cut in Medicare that is suppose to come from reducing fraud. I guess this is a positive aspect of the bill, but I thought the were always trying to reduce fraud, who knew? Like SS and Medicare, it appears that the unions and public employees will also be exempt from this one except for freebies.
