    Nails Breaking

    Mane & Tail Hoofmaker is something I used to use. It's a lotion. I've also used a nail "polish" that is really more of a supplement than a "polish". It's called "Nail Envy" by OPI . . . you can buy it at hair salons. I've always used the matte finish.

    Hey thanks for all the advice everyone! A really helpful group here! I appreciate all the thoughtful responses . . . I went ahead and bought the plans for the Marsh Rat! Woohoo! The adventure begins! Now, here's hoping I score big in the tool department on Christmas so I can get this thing...

    Forgetting stuff

    Very apropos that you would post this the very day I did the exact same thing! The roads were icy & treacherous. The blower for the heater in my truck broke two days before, so fog from my breath was freezing to the inside of the windows. Freezing rain on the windows was so thick and solid...

    Chris, pretty cool that we're both looking at the Marsh Rat! I've pretty much decided that's the one. I'm going to take another good look at Devlin's Pole Boat per some advice on this thread here. (Thanks for that, guys!) But as of right now, I'm about 90% sold on the Marsh Rat. It would be...

    AWESOME!! Love it! Ok, so obviously a motor CAN be put on a double ender then! Looks like you and I hunt very similar places. A homemade mud motor is something I've been toying around with in my head for a while . . . but that's a subject for another thread . . .

    The frame does stay in. As for the barn . . . I've already been daydreaming about where to build the next one. A little sneak box can be built in the garage, but the next one will probably be 18ft, so . . . shed? Rented garage? Barn? Yeah. I like barn. :-) I'll definitely post my...

    Thanks so much! I'm definitely wanting the option to put a motor of some sort on the back. The double-enders are attractive for a lot of reasons, but don't allow for that . . . unless I were to rig up some sort of side-saddle motor mount . . . As for weight . . . I'm actually thinking of...

    Really? Interesting . . . a fundamental design alteration like that should probably be left to a builder with more experience than ME. Hahaha . . . But, that WOULD save some weight . . . Hmmm . . .

    I certainly don't mind doing a little work to get where I want to go . . . paddling keeps me warm! Hahaha . . . BUT, I'm finding that having a motor would open up so many options for me. Rather than being limited to where I can float downstream to, I could motor upstream. Amazing concept! Hahaha...
