The timing of this fire at the start of Holy Week make a person wonder why it happened now. A sad day indeed but someone on high must have a larger plan.

I have the same issue and when I tried to open the two links in this thread it just opens a new Duckboats tab.

For paddling a stream like that I would go with a hand laid fiberglass, royalex or T-Formex canoe 16 or 17 in length. Shorter than 16 feet usually isn't as stable as the longer length and you can haul more with the longer length. Fiberglass canoes can slide over rocks easier where aluminum...

When repairing fiberglass tanks at work the contractors use a angle grinder with a 4.5" sanding pads to remove the bad layers of fiberglass that had de-laminated to get to a solid base layer before making the repair. If you have some de-lamination due to freeze/thaw remove the de-laminated...

Invite the warden to come and hunt with you.

You might have a better chance at hunting in Sweden. I have heard that a number of Germans do hunt in Sweden. Roe deer hunting is poplar in southern Sweden.

Politicians and Decoys do have a lot in common, both don't have any brains. Right now there are two long lines, one line the heads are facing to the left the other they are facing to the right. The problem is they are barely anchored on just one end and they are at the head of a huge waterfall.
