Here is another pic. I do love that little boat. And it is not heavy. I think Hornbeck made this one in the 70’s maybe. When I was there two years ago buying a canoe I tried to get them to give me an idea of age but they couldn’t. There are no hull numbers on the boat to go by either so it has...

Ok, I just ate breakfast but now I’m hungry again. Jim

Call them up they are there to help. Jim

I built a cedar strip Adirondack Guideboat using West System epoxy for an older customer and that boat literally sat on saw horses on the shore of the lake in full sun from May to September. Every year I would sand it and give it a fresh coat of varnish. That was its life for twenty years and it...

Yup I’ve made them a couple times, mostly when my adult children join me. They ate it up but it was a bannock crust made first (that’s easy and no yeast waiting to rise) then add the toppings. Jim

The company ended a far cry from what it used to be. Sad. Jim

Having second thoughts on the last pic being in the ADK’s . Here are some more but with a post card from Maine. The pic with the fish has what looks like a Rangeley Lake boat tied to the dock. Looks like a nice campsite with the fly and kitchen setup. And the postcard. With a 1958...

I found this one going through old family photos. I’m not sure exactly who the people are but I am sure I’m related to at least one of them. Location is also unknown but possibly the ADK’s as we have other photos from there. Jim

Or you could cut some slightly oversized disc of a closed cell foam say 2” thick, oversized so it will stay where you put it. Then push three or four down the tube at various intervals, say dividing it into 1/4’s or ideally midway between the vibration nodes. It would only add a few ounces and...

That sounds like a lovely ritual. Jim

I just finished ‘The Shetland Bus’ by David Howarth. It is about the Norwegian resistance during WW2. I wish things like this were taught in history class, I might have paid more attention to. Before that it was a Maine centric murder mystery called ‘Everyone Knows But You’ by Thomas Ricks. Jim

Wha a wonderful time. Well worth the drive I’m sure. Food looks amazing. Jim

Glad you found your phone Glen. It is amazing how much stuff is stored on those dang things. I had a phone slip out of my pocket and right into salt water, it was at the dock and I could see it but it was too deep. I came back a couple hours later at low tide to pull it out with a net. The darn...

Another nice shot, thanks. Jim

I will never get tired of seeing a wooden canoe in a scene like that. Beautiful. Jim

Glad you got home safely and nice use of the umbrella. Jim

A quick search of ‘goat on a boat’ brings many hits. You might be on to something. Jim

Welcome to the campfire Samb! You do have quite a nice collection. Jim

If you bring the axe down quickly near the middle of the phone that should work. Or take the axe and head out to where there is no signal, that would work too. Jim

I am now inspired to forage for some crooks to hang my axes on the wall instead of standing on the floor. Jim
