    Buying a Foreclosed Home

    How do y'all feel about buying a foreclosed home for your primary residence? I'm not talking about something that's been trashed and must be bought cheap with the expectation that major renovation will be required, and I'm not talking about something to flip. Practical implications (hidden...

    Float Trip Report

    Re: Float Trip Report Few more. Look closely at the one that doesn't look like much and you'll see a doe in the water. She's trying to escape two tenacious beagles.

    Float Trip Report

    Here are a few pics from a float trip I took on Missouri's Eleven Point river a little over a week ago. Like several of the rivers up there it's fed by big springs, so there are vestiges of mills along it. In my opinion the gubmint has done a great job of providing access but preserving the wild...

    Submerged Pine Slab; What Should I Do With It?

    I returned Tuesday night from a paddling trip in the Missouri Ozarks. One of the rivers I floated was the Big Piney, which in the nineteenth century had several sawmills along its banks. The operators would cut and mill the abundant pine then raft it down river to St. Louis. As you might imagine...

    Vice Admiral's New Kayak

    Doesn't seem possible, but Gracie turned eleven Saturday.:eek: My paddling club has a weekend-long get-together every year that weekend, and this year I embarrassed her in front of everyone and presented her with a kayak. The next day she joined us on a down river float that ends at a whitewater...

    Oops! Wrong Trailer!

    The Coops spent the holiday weekend in Branson. On the afternoon of the fourth we launched on Table Rock to play, grill some din din and wait for the fireworks. Had a great time. Weather was chamber of commerce, fireworks were outstanding and everyone on the water behaved very well. However...

    Foremost Boat Insurance

    Insurance is always an active topic this time of year. One of the prevailing sentiments seems to be that insurance companies look for ways to deny claims, and that's certainly true in some cases. However, I'd like to give a shout out to Foremost who consistently gives me great service. Everyone...

    Cracked Bearing Carrier Assembly. Cause?

    I just picked the barge up from the upholstery shop today and took her down to the river for a first of the season shakedown cruise. I backed her in and fired up the motor only to discover I had no reverse. My first thought was a spun hub, so I popped it in forward to see what would happen...

    25 Horse Merc; Lost Reverse

    I was participating in a clean-up today on a bayou in my sixteen foot john boat with 25 horse Merc. I was pretty hard on the motor (lots of shifting between forward/reverse, running through slop, over submerged logs, etc.). The shift is in the throttle. Late in the day I lost reverse. It...

    Is My Upholsterer Covering Up the Truth?

    Get it? Upholsterer? Coveri.....:lol: Oh boy.:facepalm: I dropped the party barge off at his place first of February. He's supposed to recover the entire thing except the sunpad and helm. I drove by there Saturday and discovered he hasn't touched it. I called this morning and asked for an ETA...

    DIY Drain Cleaning?

    We back up once or twice a year between the upper-most clean-out and the lowest point in the house, which is the toilet in a little half bath in the den. It's about a fifteen or twenty foot run and the clean-out is very easy to access and open. The last couple of times I've had the plumber out...

    Calling All Floridio....... I Mean Floridians. Need Vaca advice.

    This year we'll be traveling with two well behaved ten year old girls (vice admiral and her friend). They have great attitudes and are up for just about anything. We've been doing the South Walton thing on and off for several years and would be happy to again. It's conveniently located to...
