I have a lot of German blood on my mother's side, but not much German culture that I can remember being brought up with. The only German influence I can recall is that my Grandmother loved sauerkraut. Oh yes, and "Gesundheit." :?

Very nice. Thanks.

Hold on, let me see if I got this right :?: Michigan:Mukluk::Louisiana:Shrimp Boots (or Chalmette Nikes) :mrgreen:

<DING><DING><DING> We have a winner! :?

After Katrina, I had a neighbor who was cutting down a tree. It was in a bind and struck him in the head. Killed him. That was a not too uncommon occurance after Katrina. Scary stuff. I cut down my share of trees, but left the knarly ones to the pros.

And duct tape. Slide the tube over. Duct tape it into place. I had a tent repair kit for my REI Dome tent. It came with various sized patches, etc., but it also had an aluminum tube big enough to slide over the poles for that exact reason.

Of all the repsonses on this topic, I think Joey's is the most truthful and accurate. The biggest factor in making MY pirogue go faster is my abilty to lose about 30 pounds. :lol:

Are you kidding me? :shock: I just had to wipe up the drool off my keyboard. Looks like yall two did it up right. I swear, one of these days, I'll join you. Just make sure you work on that menu some more before I tag along. I don't want to go home hungry. :roll:

Wow. Bird strikes are scary things. Last year, a hawk went through the windshield of a Sikorsky S-76 en route to one of our platforms. Took it down. Eight dead. Miraculously, one man survived. Of course, there's the whole Sully deal in NYC. That was something. :shock:

I'm not sure I had the right link the first time. I modified the link to point to the photo album. Supposed to be public, i.e., you don't need a facebook account to see it. I also added a fb disclaimer.

Oops, sorry. Guess I should have put a facebook disclaimer there. :(

Since April, I haven't been able to get Piper's stuffed jalapeños off my mind. So I figured I'd give it a try... I included my recipe on the second pic. Here is the link to the photo album: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=65671&id=1390496075&l=b4abf8f4f8* *edit: I modified the link...

...or Pecot de Gallo, or... whatever. I thought I posted this last year, but I guess not. Here is the original recipe a buddy of mine gave me. He has since moved to the left coast, so I changed it up slightly and called it my own :roll: 1 28 oz can Progresso Crushed Tomatoes 1 Medium...

That's an easy fix: Rendezvous 2011 Can't say enough "thank yous" to piper and his lovely bride for once again hosting this fun event. Perhaps there might be a Rendezvous paddle in the future?!? 8)

For once, my camera phone took decent photos and I was able to transfer them to my pc. Uploaded to facebook. Here's my first attempt at posting fb pics... boats by: baldcypress, joey, russell, piper boats by: beekeeper, baldcypress and the soon to be world famous: keith and seedtick...

Yes. Exactly. And in case you were wondering, it was also delicious. I want to give these a whirl the next time I fire up my cheap-o smoker. These were quite yummy as well. Once again, this event lived up the the hype. Glad I didn't have to bail out on yall this time. :D

I had a First Need years ago that I used on backpacking trips. Nothing like a cool clear water bottle in the back country. Mine had an attachment for the carry bag that allowed you to fill the bag with water and gravity feed through the filter into your water bottle. Nice alternative to...
