Should be perfect to scoot up the smaller rivers here to hunt and fish. Test rode her with my little lehr 5hp. Propane. Very maneuverable craft. Might actually be scary with a 25. I know people race with this hull with a 40-45hp. Plan to make this a winter project. May even pull her down for jigfest if I get a 9.9 and go up the Buffalo. Not a bad deal (I don’t think) Boat and trailer for a grand. Registered till 2022. Also came with custom fabricated drop in decks to stand on up front and one for the rear (not shown). Found a remote steer yr. 2000 mercury 9.9 for 500.00 - low hrs... may build a small side console just for that motor. i decided to get this over the soloskiff. I can do lots more with the bigger beam than the solo. Fish two people easy..and me and the dog for solo outings will be awesome. let me know if anyone knows of a decent deal on a 9.9 -20hp tiller.

Hi Gavin! Sorry your Mom had to transition into a nursing home but sometimes its for the better. I understand. I think the facilities have learned how to deal with Covid-19.. My mom has been isolated every time she leaves the facility or they have shut down visits if a staff member tests positive and they test the residents weekly.. Hope they do that where your Mom is.. if not give em hell! 2020 has sucked and I have seen the same thing. I had been taking care of my Mom in my house for over 16 months. She had been borderline able to do anything but put in her dentures and navigate with her walker from the bathroom to the lift chair in the living room and feed herself. Fell constantly which we recorded. 3 months ago she fell at 1:30 am in the bathroom and caused a hemotoma that caused her bleed internally 4 units of blood. we almost lost her just waiting for the ambulance. She spent weeks in the hospital, the Drs took her off the blood thinner as bleeding was still happening.. I had to make the tough call to say Mom I cant give you the care you need or Deserve! its a tough call.. you did the right thing! but it does not stop the diligence on our part.. keeping the facility in line and make sure they take care of her the way you did! Peace - you did the right thing!

I’ll bring my generator... but there are several 120v outlets (inside) some on the exterior that could be used. Bring your own extension cords and adaptors. Should be able to handle it. Each bay has 240v but I don’t think AC (air conditioners) will be an issue that typically trips the breakers when plugging in an RV.

I too really enjoy the setting at Riley’s Station, and my place is nothing more than a glorified garage. It don’t compare to Riley’s and being able to listen to the river and the ambiance of the lodge (unless you like cars )...., but if it gets us together to fish on a date most can make, the gang is always welcome!

That’s actually a good idea. Might be something those with campers might Consider. This way we can segregate folks a bit better. Even though I can host a bunch it would probably be best to limit the total to each area to say two and one person in the bedroom unless it’s a family deal. I have space for a few campers

to paraphrase Chevy Chase.. "We have a pool and a pond.. The Pond would be better for you" besides if that room host any boat it will be Herty Gerty But I'd be willing to make her sit outside for a few night or three to accommodate the crew . I did see some new Victoria Secret masks if anyone is brave enough to bring along their fair maiden.

I could host a bunch of people (snorers can have the workshop area) There is a bedroom that has two Cots. The main room has plenty of space for 5-6 on the floor and the boat room could host a couple of cots as well... the snore room can sleep 4-6 comfortably I claim the couch in the main room at my place. BYO cot or bed roll. I have two futons that are not claimed yet. I know Mike usually brings his cot in the main living area. The snore room has been carpeted so it looks a bit nicer than the pick with the fly tying / drafting table. bathroom rules... If your aim is such that you can not guarantee 100% of all liquids are contained in the bowl and no mess on the floor so us bare feet folks don't get a wet surprise when we need to use it...You clean it up before you exit - its only fair. and if you've had too much to drink its probably best you sit... I don't want any broken hips due to slip and fall from wet floors Dogs are welcome. We let Mike stay....

I'm still planning on being there. Will be staying at my place in Mtn. Home. Might need more boats this year to ensure proper spacing. Boat Spacing Something Like This: Fisherman - Cooler full of Beer and Twinkies - Fisherman (or pick your pronoun) (... just dont mess with the Twinkies a Twinkie is a Twinkie is a Twinkie and will be even if they add peppermint and call it a holiday special!) Ready to get into the Twinkie Zone!! Fish on!

Storms last night are going to keep me busy tomorrow standing back up my corn... worst part is everything down was either just starting to pollinate or only had a week of tassel with silk just beginning to show. Both me and the Cream & Sugar have the sads today

Yeah... put me on that list also.

weird... missed all the other posts... have the sads

Sent you a PM.

Paired nicely with some Iowa distilled blue ox vodka and OJ Pretty darn tasty! For freeze dried! That was forkin good!... I’ve had enough sodium for the rest of the month

What’s for dinner? I call it COVIDSUX ramen noodle reduction added to mountain house beef stroganoff... couldn’t come down this weekend so I’m COVID camping on the farm

Found 4 such caches on the ne road I put in the timber. I’m sure there’s many more. Have not looked

Can you see the ones hidden in the other picture down low to the ground? In the picture that doesn’t show any visible mushrooms it’s the dead tree for this to the back, zoom in on the weeds

Cant remember the taste! Does it have a bitter finish? I'd use this for my lunch wraps!

the Mrs's would have my twig and two berries, wedding tackle, man giblets, etc... in a vise... no can do And we did not have a private convo over email.....wink wink!

Existential man... live it, learn it, love it! Love his acknowledgement of someone taking the red pill as Donald hits the roach! great actor.. bet that wasn’t oregano.

Not even Exopolitics ..... I have the book! Exopolitics: Politics, Government, and Law In the Universe....PST is about Aliens

We'll see how they play out on resale value with the whole Covid-19 and folks wanting to retreat to the burbs There is a method to the decision making madness.. And some valuable lessons learned! Buyers might not like them and if they dont I will repurpose the lumber and spread the bed fillings in the planting around the house! win win... Just not this planting season (failure as far as I'm concerned)

I too have cats pooping in the raised beds.. but the worst offender is the local Fox squirrel who likes to hide the slices of stale bread the neighbor throws out for the birds. Digs a nice hole but does a lousy job of hiding the goods he absconded off with! The deer have taken their toll on some of the goods but its under control now.. The corn is all over the knees and the earliest is waist height already.. Getting some nice showers today... have one plot I started on last night that needs some attention.. crab grass is taking off... will get that sorted out on Fathers Day!

Got lots of Beans, Maters, Taters, Zukes, Cukes, Onions, Mellons, Squash, Indian Corn, Sweet Corn, Cabbage, Beets and Carrots coming along. lessons learned... The choice for raised bed mix has left me fighting dryout conditions..Not enough soil in the mix... Ended up getting some main line and drip line and emitters to help.... NEXT TIME I'll just put in the ground and not waste the resources with Raised beds.. They're all fine I guess, if you have soil that will hold moisture, but I gotta say if you have good ground and enough space... Till a plot! or 4 The tilled plots of Iowa soil are eating the raised bed "Potting Soil" for lunch.. all these plants were planted the same time.. Look at the Cabbage and tomatoes vs the plots with the metal cages.. They are 3-4 times as big. All fed the same.... fancy smanshy stuff from the local Nursery. Will not do that again. I'll just dig up soil and load the boxes... Will likely do that if I'm still at this location next year... Just change the ratio of soil to be closer to 90% instead of 20....Too much drainage.

he in fact does not argue the location, he makes an argument that any number of coordinates run through the pyramid (wow home run right there) all while espousing the same talking point Egyptologist's say about the pyramid and its builders buy offering up a cubits notion..."If" The Pyramid is way more ancient then academia is willing to admin too (hurt too many feelings) then all of his postulating is out the window. But hey....Its my conspiracy and I'm sticking with it.. I just appreciate discussing the topic. It is very intriguing. And @mitch f I think the problem with that reasoning might be that the measurement is to true north.... (a bit further than 300 yds...tough to pull a string to that point in the sky). As an astronomical alignment it is significant... especially even if we stick with the text book date of construction of the Pyramid.
