6026 in first try. Fun game.

I'm the builder of that other canoe. We're quite happy with it. I think you could get 2 (small) girls in the middle and still have room for a little bit of gear. Bear, there's nothing wrong with multiple boats, but it takes longer to build, room to store, etc. We wanted to get out on the...

That's interesting, Chuck. I never realized how much weather in other parts of Florida could affect our river system. I probably *will* take you up on your kind offer -- but you still can't have the canoe for $20! :P

Mick, Thanks for the compliments. I've got to get some better pics this Friday. I'm taking the day off to go canoeing, we're going to try a different spot. Also, I got the cane seats in from JEM and got them put in. They look *great* and feel good on the backside. I've yet to take pics...

:shock: Nailed it! We put in at Katie's and went upstream just past the SR46 bridge. Must be blind luck ;) Like a dream. We actually started upstream because we weren't sure how she'd handle, didn't want to get downstream and have trouble getting back! At one point Kym and I started paddling...

Nothing too amazing, just a couple hours on the Wekiva River near home. The Wekiva is a fairly lazy and shallow spring-fed river in Central Florida. However, this was the maiden voyage of our new canoe, so it was very exciting for us. I car-topped the canoe using a foam block kit, and even...

Not at all. I'll be taking her out to a nearby river in just a little bit, I'll get some pics including a profile.

Thanks for the compliments. You mean leave my baby alone outside? :shock: Are you kidding? :D Actually, I do worry about that. A canoe weighing less than 60 pounds seems very easy to steal. :evil: What do you do, if anything, to prevent the possibility?

For those of you who aren't on JEM's board, this is my first canoe. It's practically done now - just needs some touch up in a couple spots. Got her done just in time for Labor Day, so I'll be posting a trip report later. Here's some pics: Gunwales are mahogany with maple...

Two men are sitting at a bar. One turns to the other and says, "You look familiar. Where are you from?" "Ireland," replies the other. "Really, I'm Irish too! Let me buy you a drink," says the first. "Thanks, what part of Ireland?" asks the second. "Dublin," says the first. "Really? Me...

Shrewd Blonde: Two casino dealers are at the craps table when a cute blonde comes over and says, "I want to bet twenty thousand dollars on a single roll of the dice. But, if you don't mind, I'd I feel much luckier if I were topless." They say fine. She takes off her top and rolls the...

We've got the stacking kind, fan on the bottom. Does a decent job. My favorite thing is dehydrated watermelon. :shock: Yep, I said that right. If you cut 1" cubes you end up with a gummy piece about 1/4" high, but it's sweet as can be. We also grow a lot of herbs in the garden. Every...

Is that you pointing a chisel right at your wrist? :shock: Hey, you need feeling in those fingers for piping! I have nice scar from a slipped chisel because my off hand was a bit too close. Careful, please. :wink:

Hee Hee! "Why is your sporran lifting up like that?" :oops:

Um...like Shogun's Farewell? :P I'd have to see some music to know if it could even be done on the pipes. We're limited to just over one octave range, so many tunes don't map well. First guy that responds "like a cat being squeezed, just like every other tune," gets shot. :evil:

Watch out, Chuck. I live close enough to Chuluota that you can probably hear me playing. And if not, I bet I can find your bedroom window at 3 a.m. :twisted: Of course, in Chuluota that would prob'ly get me shot. :D

Remembering songs from your youth? So which side were you on? :P Seriously, I remember reading about that song - you are correct, it was a Civil War era song from the South, referring to the fact that peanuts were often the only thing they had to eat, IIRC. You're the first person that's...

Good looking boats. I'm gonna have to make me one of them pirooouu things someday. Actually, I'm already planning two boats ahead even though I haven't finished my first. :roll: My next is a kayak, then I want a little sailboat, like a Sunfish, for lakes. 8) What's the proper pipe tune...

I remember the first time I had boiled "P-nuts" from a roadside stand. I somehow expected them to taste and crunch like...well, peanuts. I was pleasantly surprised by the difference in taste and texture of a boiled peanut. YUM! If you haven't tried them, you're definitely missing out.
