    Just might do it?

    One thing to consider is. If you accept the mail box money from the Govt. at 62. You are limited to earning $1000.00 per month [if you want to get a part time job]. That will last until you are 65+. I me own self opted to take the money and run at 62. I cyphered it out as close as I could and...

    Wilderness Mosquito Control?

    :idea: Here ya go. At about $15 a bit expensive for 8oz but, if it works. http://www.mosquitosolutions.com/catnip.html Now, it may be that all the cats it attracts keep the misquitoes away. BUT, a benefit of all the cats would be added warmth on cool nights.

    Another excellent report. Even with the "progress" being made in some areas, you still live in a beautiful country. Keep them cards and letters coming in.

    Temporary keel strips?

    Let me think about this for an hour or two. 10 feet wide 28 inches deep and 11.5 inches long. I bet it will go sidewise better than it goes forward. :lol: It also sounds like he has been making midnight shopping around Tick & Kieths place ta get the sinker cypress. P.S. Yo Pereaux...

    Not an Uncle John Pirogue Seat

    Well I gots ta drop it. All I can find are articles on the "Sabine Free State" 1806-1862. and it is now a part of Louisiana and not a "Free State" I will howevwe pick Floreen, LA. as a final answer. If that is not correct, I await with bated breath the real final answer. I also await an...

    Not an Uncle John Pirogue Seat

    Most likely he is within a short distance of Shreveport, LA. A bit southeast I would guess. He went to Lake Bistineau for a short fishing trip and it is my belief that he would not have driven very far for a "short trip" Louisiana is divided into 64 parishes (the equivalent of counties in...

    I have a camping project to work on , making deposits

    Chuck, This is the one I made a while back. Scrap wood and a couple of hinges. Fits in the bottom of the canoe with no problem. Also fits another bottom :wink: . Note that the legs are cut on a slight angle where the hinge is. This keeps the seat in a solid position while in use.

    something different

    Did you row it all the way, or did Tick lend a hand on the trip down ? :mrgreen: You don't look 400 years old. Amazing; you two have found the fountain of youth in La. And to think, everyone always thought it was in Fl.

    Mary Valley Road Trip

    Not only a drink Mick, more pics of your lovely travels are in order. I'll get off my soap box after one more statement. It is my firm belief that high speed lead poisioning is a viable answer to most anyone caught committing a crime.
