    My "Inheritance"

    So I have an uncle (dad's brother) with whom I have a lot in common. We both like to camp and fish etc. and we're both really big on family. He was once a very avid duck hunter, even guiding some on the side, but he lost interest five or six years ago and stuck his duck boat in the back yard...

    Bearings Fine But Noisy

    Okay, here's a quandary I've never encountered until now. I just picked up a john boat and the trailer needed some serious attention. I had to replace a wheel and hub and both sets of lug nuts; no problems there, but the bearings on the curb side had the tell-tale bad bearings rumble of death. I...

    Said Goodbye To a Great One Yesterday

    Having buried two grandparents, and aunt and an uncle in the last two years I've had my fill of funerals for a while, but yesterday was the toughest one yet for me. My uncle Mike was a step-uncle if there is such a thing, but he was one of the finest men I've ever known. I think the entire town...

    Bunk Carpet

    I replaced my bunks two years ago. The bunks are fine, but the carpet I used not so much. When I picked it up at the marine store I told them I didn't think it would hold up very well. Sadly I was right, so I'll be replacing it soon. Anyone have a particular brand they like? This is for a barge...

    Arkie Roundup Roll Call. Please Check In and Tell Us How Many In Your Crew

    I started reading through the original thread to try and get a read on who was in, but I was overwhelmed by all the silliness. Plus, I know a couple of peeps have said they'd most likely come but were just keeping up to see when the dates were. So, I thought I'd better start a roll call. The...

    Expedition Mileage Drop

    Here be the deets: 2005 Expedition 4x4 with 85k miles. Great truck that's given me no real problems other than a cracked throttle body, which is pretty well a given on those (thanks Ford:rolleyes:), but something strange is going on. Last week I towed the party barge up to Table Rock Lake. I...

    D'oh!

    Not sure how, but I lost the sundeck pad off the barge. It was held in place by several large screws, and we always tie down the bimini when towing, which snugs down against it. I didn't notice until last Saturday when I raised the bimini for a day on Greers Ferry, which was several days after...

    This Is Worth a Look

    http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/15/world/europe/uk-school-dinner-blog/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 I read something about this a few weeks ago but forgot about it. Now there's more coverage. I make the vice admiral's lunch every day because I don't want her eating the garbage they feed them in the...

    Backup Camera

    Who's got one. Dost thou like it? Pros? Cons? Had no idea how affordable they were. Seems like a viable option for those of us who have to hook up solo.

    Another Insurance Thread..........

    but not the kind you think. Last summer the admiral had a little misunderstanding with the gas dock at the state park marina where we usually boat.:eek: The marina took our information because they were required to, but they were super cool about it and we were never contacted regarding their...

    Transfer Case Leak

    My 2005 Expedition has a very slight T case leak. Does anyone have an opinion on those additives (Lucas et al) that are supposed to recondition seals? Since the T case takes the same fluid as the tranny I wondered if it might be worth a shot. Thoughts?

    So Incredibly Sad

    We've been watching this unfold for a couple of days fearful of the seemingly inevitable outcome. The river running community in Arkansas is a tight-knit group with significant involvement in every aspect of outdoor recreation, including emergency response. I'm very familiar with the area where...

    Arkansas Get Together

    I tried this once before and it foundered pretty quickly, but I'll try it again. Come on guys. We can't let the Floridiots......, uh, I mean Floridians:p have all the fun. We need to come together on Greers Ferry or Ouachita or somewhere reasonably accessible to the most interested boaters...
