    Avian flu in white geese

    Brad, variants within the H5N1 strain of avian flu are transmissible to humans. One of the highly pathogenic among H5N1 is the Asian variant. Why I opted to give white geese season participants a heads-up prior going out.

    Boston Whaler 13 Resto-Mod

    Greg, one word response to your question is, yes the foam doe waterlog as well as impacting the deck layer's ability to support weight. Most restorations of waterlogged hulls involve deck removal to access the wet and rotted foam to be removed and replaced. Some folks argue that a waterlogged...

    22 caliber dummy launchers

    Yup, same observation and the same fix. I have tried two different load manufacturers and four different load color codes to achieve the same results; the rounds expand in the chamber and won't eject. Actually, this enables me to not end-up searching the ground for spent rounds to clean up...

    Still figuring out this old two stroke outboard....

    Basically, a visual inspection of the entire fuel supply line including the fuel pump housing is worth it in an engine this old. Try to see if you can get a supply of non-ethanol premium to do a comparison with another fuel line suppling gas. As several others have mentioned, plastics in...

    Mold Making - still learning......

    That has been my only issue; paint retention, which seems to vary from batch to batch. I now use lacquer thinner, then an acetone wash, Scotch-brite green pad used to exhaustion and then another acetone wash. Is auto adhesion promoter the same as etching primer? I use a brad point bit to drill...

    Mold Making - still learning......

    Very nice job of standardizing production technique, as well as illustrating your process. IF I understand you correctly, you are making the entire head via Featherlite? I assume you paint coat is Behr, are you using a primer? How does Featherlite hold paint over the long haul? How much...

    How To: Flapper Boards

    Steve, if anyone can accomplish this to achieve both a functional as well as aesthetically pleasing design it would likely be done via your work. That said, these hulls provide a pretty wet ride, as you have experienced in Kessler's TDB-17', consequently the blind plays a dual role in...

    So, Steve, are you implying that a culture that had worked-out interstellar travel SHOULD have a better grasp of the laws of thermodynamics, particularly when the decide to establish a secret base on a snow covered planet, which would mandate a continuous supply line of food, supplies, and raw...

    What's on your WORK BENCH - February 2022

    The hallmark of being human; the ability to alter your environment to meet your immediate needs...both real and perceived. I was actually initially considering using George William's light-saber to cut a dead tauntaun open and stuff the snowblower inside for the night, but then I realized that a...

    What's on your WORK BENCH - February 2022

    This beasty has been my NDR workbench project too often this year. I eventually had to run downstairs to grab my hair drier that I use to dry acrylic washes with. I wedged the nozzle under the engine shroud to blow on the gas line and the carb. on high and left it while I pulled snow off the...

    What's on your WORK BENCH - February 2022

    I keep my 12hp Ariens in the insulated garage...first time ever the gas line froze last week. Usually it will thaw and drain to the central floor drain. Hasn't showed any signs of that over the last week of near or sub-zero weather.

    New Pup

    Ontogeny recapitulates genealogy... a more likely restating of Haeckel's theory. I tried that approach when we bought Flynn since he was so close to a clone of Kane. Both hunt well, but are totally different dogs in manner as well as how they respond to training. Sure wish I knew eight dogs...

    The Tundras of North Carolina

    Thousands of them raft-up offshore along the Lake Michigan coast from Whitehall north to Traverse City during their migration. When I lived in the dunes north of Pentwater, Mi. I would sneak down the beach to take-up a stand in the beach grass to pass shoot the divers that their rafts would...

    Now, that's better!

    Carl, the model for the Missourri Coteau wetlands recharge is driven primarily off adequate frost seal being maintained so that precipitation, annual or event related, is enabled to runoff and accumulate in these lowland depressions rather than readily percolate into the soil. When you look at...
