There's a plant in town that manufactures those little packets. They get ketchup, soy sauce, and other condiments by the tanker truck. One of the my sons' scout troop parents worked there, so the patrol cookbox always had an interesting assortment of sauces. The boys were disappointed to find...

You're probably better off. I can remember in Boy Scout days, we were warned not to scrounge shiny metal for grills (like refrigerator grills), since they used Cadmium in the plating. Don't know if it is still true - that was a long time ago. Like back when refrigerators had metal shelves :-)

Sounds great. Kroger's has frozen, fully cooked brown rice. It's made to be microwaved, but really just needs to be heated up. I browned 2 Tbsp oil, 1/2 c. chopped onions, 1 garlic clove, and 2 stalks of chopped celery in a hot skillet. I dumped the frozen pack in (carefully!), then added 2...

The Ohio River Way's 2010 Paddlefest is history. Approximately 2000 people on the water for an 8.2 mile paddle from a local amusement park to Sawyer Point, in downtown Cincinnati. My sons and I volunteered setting up the finish line, so no personal pictures. We also missed the launch, so...

It's a trap! She'll work on convincing you that kitchen gadgets are like power tools for inside the house, and the next thing you know you'll have a closet full of them and be doing all the cooking! Leastways, that's what happened here :oops:

Gee Ron, we thought the last boat was an RV. You didn't have to take us literally :lol:

Shhh, we're supposed to wait until Piper gets his minority-owned business Research and Development contract. He's a member of a very small minority, people who still pay taxes, or maybe small business owners Obama hasn't run out of business yet.

In the Air Force, part of the lab I worked at studied aircraft survivability. They had some great pictures: This is not battle damage - it was clear air turbulence on a test flight. Of course, the best pictures didn't get released. They tested current and future designs with Russian 20mm...

Maybe it's all lawyers graduate as Democrats. Some join the real world :-)

Hopefully you made a first class meal part of the price! Y'all put a lot of work into that boat, and it's amazing.

A young Texan grew up wanting to be a law man. He grew up big, 6' 2'', and strong as a longhorn and fast as a mustang. He could shoot a bottle cap tossed in the air at 40 paces. When he finally became of age he applied to where he had only dreamed of working: the Sheriffs Department. After...

Thanks. There's not much in the box stores that is longer than 12' - S4S pine molding and lattice (too small), southern yellow pine (heavy), and 'select' 2x4's. I'll try the real lumberyard, or keep scarfing 1" x 2" x 8' cedar. Folks out west must get the good stuff - the Lowes online shows...

Nice boat - even nicer pics. I'm going to assume you cleverly framed the shot to had a terribly messy workshop. If I didn't I might feel guilty about the state of mine.

Thanks for the update. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help him get back on line. Old Geezer mode: When I went off to college, a long distance phone call was an event. An overseas call was a big event. My first week there I discovered something call "email", and marvelled that I...

Following up on Belly's question about nails, I have one about boards. Home Depot has gray-primed redwood in 1" x 8" x 10' or so. It looks like the boards are pieced together, but they seem to be knot-free. Are they really, or just puttied over? Are they suitable for gunwales and stringers...

Careful Belly. If you keep tossing helpful info into this dogfight they'll both turn on ya. Seriously though, thanks guys. I'm learning a lot.

Hey, go ahead and buy the pink. Who's gonna make fun of you when you're holding that gun? Just read John Sandford's latest thriller, Storm Prey. The bad guy uses a judge, loses it, and buys another.

A tough old cowboy from south Texas counseled his grandson that if he wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gun powder on his oatmeal every morning. The grandson did this religiously to the age of 103 when he died. He left behind 14 children, 30 grandchildren, 45...

Be sure to sign those boats, so the grandkids' kids will know who built those beauties!

Which you will find is Boat Science of the highest potency.
