My friend who was born with only one regular arm. The other arm had a normal upper arm and then an elbow with a stub of the lower arm. So you might want to try paddling with your elbow on the surgical arm. Depending on use and pain of course. He tied a leather loop to the middle of the shaft...

Yep, the song mentions making shoe laces from the skin.

Or Canada? Southwest Texas should one need to stay warm. I’m actually in a minor fallout area. If all my mango trees hadn’t succumbed to the recent spate of 26 degrees, I might even have something to eat stored up.

This is an interesting search. Next time, lowangleAl, if you could please pick it up and get close ups of the mouth, the head, mouth open and closed, and a close up of the pattern from the top and sides. ;) From looking at a lot of photos, I can see why Mason thinks it’s a water snake. Some...

The instructions are in this song: (a very short ad at the beginning)

Neither the pine snake nor the northern water snake have a triangular head. Here's the head of a copperhead, which shows the plate-like scales on top of the head. Copperhead

I’m no snake expert, but that triangular head and thick body to me makes me think venomous snake. My guess would be a copperhead, but that’s a wild guess.

Makes paddling the Everglades somewhat less interesting. Or more interesting, depending on your point of view.

It never occurred to me that a propane lantern would take the chill off inside a tent. What a great idea.

Maybe it is just me, but reheated hamburgers are at about the bottom of my list of food preferences. Only slightly higher than cardboard.

I eat very little meat anymore - can’t afford it. But I broke down and bought a pound. I started a wood fire in the outdoor fireplace and put the burgers on when I got a golden red bed of coals. Just salt and pepper. There’s nothing like burgers over a wood fire. I did not think to take...

I’ve changed my mind again. I have two entirely different rivers in mind. The Darling River into the Murray River in Australia. This would be 30-60 days likely. This river system has been on my mind for several years now. Today I read a quite well-written and interesting trip report on the...

Panther tracks on my access road: Wild turkey tracks at the same location I know they were less than 24 hours old because I had driven in late the day before. No signs of a confrontation or a flurry of turkey feathers, but it is hard not to surmise one was following the other. You just...

No snow, but a quarter inch of ice on a bowl of water set outside. Mangoes and bananas are hit hard. :(

My plans keep switching around, but the most likely thing is to try to get down the Mégiscane again. :eek:

I did this while paddling on Lake Lila in the Adirondacks many years ago. I looked all around to see if anyone had witnessed this ungainly move, but the lake was deserted. It was the first time I’d paddled a Winonah canoe. When I got out later that week I learned my good friend had climbed...

Good to know.

Thank you. I’m glad you are enjoying the reading. It looks like your friend has a lot of good boats for sale. There could be people here interested, but no new boats for me.

It didn’t even occur to me that this was AI. Your comments and re-inspection, I see your points. I will have to be more careful.

Jacques was in charge of the fishing, storage and preparation. He would gut the fish and then wrap it in an old, wet, linen dish towel. He’d store it in the bow right on the bottom of the boat. It always stayed cool there. He’d rinse the towel every now and then to keep it cool and fresh. It was...
