Boy he really gets around, he was in my neighborhood wednesday night walking up to all the houses with their light on.

We made a big batch of these over the weekend and I'm working through them with my coffee during the day. Great addition to a coffee break!

Skarks, Liquid sunshine can be refreshing on a warm day. Swamping a canoe can be fun. These boys are building charactor, the old iron sharpens iron and pressure makes a diamond thing. About 2 1/2 years ago they took a day paddle from Manhauke to Hell Michigan. The week before there was...

Are future is looking bright, the students seem to have a grasp on whirled history.

Jack, I'd love to go back but this weekend wont work for me. Maybe sometime warmer.

Well Jack, With an 18 proof beer, and Unleaded at $2.30 or so a gallon, have you tried running a lawn mower or generator on this. If it works I'll give it a try on my van to check the mileage. I figure anything that would take the hair off the bottom of your feet would probably run an engine...

I agree with the purpose, idea, and use of a tumpline. The africans have carried many items this way for many years. However the best way i've found is to plan the trip without portages. Spend your time on the water, not trying to get to it.

We tried it about a month ago. We stuffed them with a chopped mushroom, onion, garlic, chedder mixture. rolled them in flour and dipped in a beer batter. They lost their batter when we dropped them in the oil but they still tasted good.

You may think that Jack should've been a laywer, truth is that Jack couldn't pass the bar, he kept stoppin for a Scotch.
