Young Chuck, moved to Texas and bought a Donkey from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the Donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.' Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.' The...

I haven't abandoned the forum. I've just been lurking because I'm ashamed to say I still haven't started. Or even decided between the Swamp Girl and the UJ. I'm leaning UJ for ease. But I just had to comment that this is the cutest idea I've seen. I bet the kids LOVE it. There's a TV...

Thanks DM. That's good info. I can't tell for sure by the pictures, but the ones on the Bartram Canoe trail are called "floating campsites", so I presume they really float on the water. I'll find out for sure when I go, of course. Pictures as the link. http://tinyurl.com/6gh2o3...

Thanks for the info Chuck. I can see where a hammock would be useful there. Now see, THAT's a good use of tax dollars! Making a way for folks to camp on a swamp. Why do they call them Chickees?

It's a very short trip. Two to three hours up and the same back. Leisurely, I'd say. Dr. Carol isn't sure about borrowing the poke boat. She has a canoe at her beach house but she has used the poke boat around Weeks Bay and she liked it very much. Her husband keeps promising to get them a...

...even though I still don't have a pirogue. My kitchen is nearly done though. Cabinets in. Appliances in. Countertop...not in! :shock: The boy is back from Canada though, so I can enlist his help on boat building very soon. But, a friend of mine is going to give me his aluminum canoe. I've...

Good job, with both the girls and the boat. My folks took me camping when I was a wee lass. And I'm only slightly abnormal. Clare

Years ago I had a job sculpting mardi gras floats. I did some airbrushing then. I was better at the sculpting than the airbrushing but only because we had some damned good airbrushers in our float barn and I didn't get much practice. Why pay a good sculptor to airbrush, eh?

Thanks, SeedTick. They sound like a good idea to me.

Looks good BellyBuster. I've got some fine scrap wood around here I plan to recycle. I'm not sure I've seeing what you're doing in the first set of pix, with the jig. Are those the two sides with a spacer so your knitting both of them at once? Very clever, if so. Clare

Fine looking boat, sheetsrep. I'm so happy you can have this time with your girl. They do grow up fast. But you're creating events for memories that will make her smile when she tells her kids and grandkids about her daddy. Take those pictures. She'll cherish them too. Good on you. Clare

Very nice JVM. I like your blunted deck. Nice lines.

Hi Mick, Coogy! The remodeling is coming along fine. We live in a bungalow so I'm working toward that fusion of old arts and crafts with new stainless steel look. It will be fabulous. Corian counters, glass tile backsplash, undermount sinks, shaker cabinets, and big wooden table like a...

Wow, I didn't know I'd be missed! Sorry about that. I'm on the tail end of a kitchen remodel and my cabinet man is working faster than the rest of the crew: my plumber (me), my drywaller (me and hubby), the spackler (me), my electrician (hubby) and my painter (me). The darling son picked...
