    My Vacation , sort of..........

    Hang in there Chuck. Two weeks ain't long. And with that new high tech. battery, I guess you will get a few more mph out of the bicycle. We got a heck of a deal living in this age of medical progress. Dan

    Archery

    Hi guys, a little update on the Archery. I called Ron last Sunday and got some advice on rests, setup, and a eyes closed drill. I put the Hoyt in the shop for a string change this week, so I have been practicing with Rons drill and shooting with the single cam PSE stinger. I picked the Hoyt...

    Archery

    Thanks Ron, Chuck. That's good information. And Ron, not more information than I need. I need it all. I actually have been shooting the XX75 2016s and getting the best accuracy. I have a few carbons that are not performing. I think because the spine is to stiff for the poundage I am...

    Archery

    Hey Ron, that sure sounds like a obsession. And I just looked up the PSE Supra. At that price, it should go retrieve the arrows for you. I wish you were closer to Baton Rouge, I am shooting about 100 arrows per day, and I need to quickly get someone to watch me shoot before too many bad form...

    Archery

    I am thinking the next step is to build a recurve bow. I was thinking to build a laminate riser and use commercial limbs until I got a lot more knowledge. Jack you would'n happen to have a bunch of those dinosaur feathers stashed away? They are getting as hard to find as hens teeth. Yes, I...

    Archery

    Hi Guys. I didn't want to start a new boat build in August, because I would be in South America in September. So needing something to play with, I dragged the old Browning bow out of the closet and started plinkin away with Walmart arrows. So that is how it began. Bass Pro had a sale on the...

    Tales from the Log of the Ruptured Duck

    Jack, show her Bonny's web sites. Lady pilots get along well together. She could fly some whale shark or turtle tagging missions. http://blog.al.com/live/2012/03/bonny_s ... s_jou.html http://www.onwingsofcare.org/ Dan

    Snow Shoe 14 SOF

    I am amazed by the quality of your work. And totally in awe of the patience necessary to do this quality. The dacron cover will be interesting. When I was young, I did a aircraft restore with this stuff. Dan

    My New Toy and Fun Getaway Item.

    Smart move Chuck. I always try to remember that there are people like me on the road, driving cars, and daydreaming about boat building or other stuff. Next time I think of it, I will bend you up one of the helmet mirrors. It will be a pain for the first week, then after you get used to it...

    Gluing strips on a stripped boat

    This is something ya'll may be interested in. Bonny will take the first paddle on "Tayanita" this weekend. Unless the weather is real good. If it is, she will be in Destin spotting sea turtles for NOAA. http://blog.al.com/live/2012/03/bonny_s ... s_jou.html . I guess this is my home town...

    Gluing strips on a stripped boat

    Chuck, I really don't have a weight limit, just some nerve damage from the two neck surgery's that I have had. I am running out of non fused vertebrae. The right arm is fine, but sometimes the left arm can't be trusted. So that is the reason for wanting to pay attention to the weight of the...

    Gluing strips on a stripped boat

    Your right Ron. The final boat has to be functional and safe. I just got a little sticker shock when I looked at the scale. I thought this boat would weight in the low 30s. But I did decide to leave all 4 forms in. I did decide to add 1"X1/4"strips on each side of the forms. I did decide to...
