I tend to think the "lifting water" theory is a bit too simplified. I seem to remember reading something by Jonathan Winters once where he said there really wasn't much to it. But of course I don't have enough knowledge to actually make a case for it one way or the other. I think we've all...

Have you ever heard any of the joggers mention it affecting their speed/endurance? We get some smoke at times and I've never thought twice about it but I hear old people complain sometimes that they can't work outside when it's smokey. I figured it was just mental but a couple weeks ago when...

No, I have not seen it. Can you tell us something about it. Were you connected in some way? Alan

It's too bad to see areas we're familiar with, or would like to become familiar with, turn into charred stumps. But I just remind myself that the same thing has happened to that area before and that it will continue to exist and recover. It might not be in my lifetime but there are plenty of...

Welcome! Where did you live and paddle in Iowa? There are a few of us from the state here on the forum. I'm in Estherville (near Spirit Lake/Okoboji). Alan

Now you've got me curious if you actually caught it or snagged it. Alan

Maybe you just need to buy her a pack canoe, such as this: https://www.hornbeckboats.com/classic-canoes I'd think it would be hard to go back to a plastic kayak after paddling (and carrying) one of them. Then you could use it when she doesn't come along....or buy one for yourself. :) Alan

That is a good point. My entire canoe paddling career I've been using ZRE paddles and the couple paddles I've had that weren't ZRE were very similar blade shapes/lengths so I've always gone by total length in inches. I'll measure the shaft lengths and post them when I get a chance. I'll...

I just ran the same test that failed this morning using 'attach files' (paperclip) and it worked fine for me. Thanks for getting it resolved! Alan

Thanks for posting, I was not aware of this. Congrats to Bob, Chad, and Ryan. I hope it continues successfully. Alan

Yes, you can insert it as full sized. After using the "attach files" (paperclip) option click on either 'thumbnail' or 'full image' to insert it (see screen shot below. In this post, after typing my full reply, I chose to insert the full image at the very top of the post by placing my cursor...

Where did you get it? I assume it's similar to a sugar island blade type? Alan

I've had no problem putting the image anywhere in the post when using the "attach" (paperclip) icon. Just make sure the cursor is wherever you want the image to be when you tell it to "insert" Alan

That paddle doesn't look very wooden.

The forum is having some trouble with image orientation with some pictures that should be vertical posting as horizontal. This seems to be happening when using the "attach files" button below the text box. Instead, try using the "insert image" icon above the text box as this seems to be...

There is a pair of brackets on the right side (in the red square). This will turn those functions on or off.

The button in the red square is the one that works for me:

Using the " insert image" button above the text box. These are two different images. One taken with the phone vertical and one horizontal. You can see the forum got it right when using this method of attaching pictures.
