My favorite meme and how I attempt to live my life.

Much like a meme, I was attempting to use humor for social commentary. When I was a lad, ass whoopings were commonplace and kids better behaved. We still had dogs but they weren't specifcally for emotional support. Believe it or not, my brother used to drop his lab off at the retirement home...

Poor dog.

Mark, A couple of dumb questions, if you please: 1.) How do you cut aluminum sheets? Aircraft shears? 2.) Presumably you used foam flotation. How did you weld without it catching on fire? 3.) I've been told it's easier to learn aluminum welding if you've never welded steel. Since I have no...

"The state’s contention, backed by a plea from Gov. Jeff Landry, is that hunters should be able to take whistling ducks when they are in the state." What a novel approach to management! Maybe we could do the same thing with swans in Minnesota. RM

Mark, Beautiful! I've read of others who have constructed Devlin boats out of aluminum but have never seen the work in progress. Would you mind enlightening the rest of us what kind of welding equipment you used? Thanks for sharing! RM

It actually got pretty heated the last time I remember spinners being discussed. When we as children got cabin fever our mom used to kick us outside. Still works today. RM

Matthias, If you are my age, this is where you start to ask yourself, "What would I do with my life if I had to do it all over again?" I'm happy you are having fun; your enthusiasm is infectious! RM

tsimpson, So many duckboats, so little money. Thankfully you are much too far away to consider purchasing! Beautiful boat and I must confess that I saved a couple pics on my phone for posterity. I loved how the builder put grassing rails on the stool rack. Good luck with your sale; she is worth...

Matthias, Perhaps you could put the collar under the deck and retain the function of interchangeability. That way your receiver could act as a bollard or perhaps a mount for spot/flood light or even a winch. When my Kara Hummer needed a spud hole through the deck I did it in this manner:

I'm not taking sides here but would like to make some observations about forums in general. Duckboats.net is the first and probably only forum that I have ever felt inclined to join. Is it addictive? I believe so and I eventually realized that my productivity was inversely proportional to the...

Matthias, No this 2x2 thing sticking out of the deck. Looks like you have a hitch reciever below deck. I was thinking a winch for a small atv. RM

James, Your Sawyer looks like it was well cared for. About that missing end cap; try calling Wenonah or another company that makes a similar canoe. Alot easier than fabricating your own. RM

Capt. Bob, There are worse habits! RM

James, You may actually grow to like the tractor style seats. Yeah, I know they aren't as attractive as a nice cane seat but they are quite comfortable when padded with 1/2" closed cell foam. RM
