    I am confused - not judging but confused none the less

    I have been taking a three day class to get my motorcycle license here in Nevada, figure at 73 I need a new way to hurt myself. Just a bit of reply to "shovels and buckets will not get the job done". The Chinese built giant engineering works with manual labor. If we reduce the fuel load to 10%...

    I am confused - not judging but confused none the less

    Thanks all of you for your taking time to give some thought and input. I lived in Bradenton, Florida and my girlfriend's parents had a jon boat tied to the back porch (sitting on the grass). You guessed it, they had several times used the boat to get from the elevated house to the nearest dry...

    I am confused - not judging but confused none the less

    Forum Friends, I am confused as I watch the video news every night of the loss of homes and improvements, not a few but entire towns and neighborhoods. We have a second home in a fire danger area and we spend over a $1000 a month on help to fire-safe our eight acres. Every night I see videos of...

    composting toilet

    I have posted here on my C-Head by Cap. For me, superior and less $$$ than NatureHead or AirHead or in my case, DeadHead. You use one gallon water bottles to collect the urine, low cost and dead simple. None of the composting toilets compost, they only hold and dry. You have to get a cabin or...

    After having decided I wasn't going to pour more money into

    Yup - ordered a toilet tank and lid that was shown as being in stock. Then got a note I would be notified when it in stock. Then threw a fit and the local Home Depot found the right button to push (I gave them a picture of my screen shot) and voila, it should be here in four days rather than "We...

    Final Passage of "Larry Pardey"

    I attended many of their sharing at various yacht clubs in SoCal. Taliesen was his true testimony, a fine vessel. I loved the space for a tub where the motor was not. Their giving away of so many things over the years to keep the boat neat, clean, and uncluttered is a good example for us pack...

    Garmin gets Hacked!

    If it is the same likely Russian hackers, then they get ten years of solitary, cardboard shacks not plywood, wormy rice/beans/freeze dried tofu to eat, and they have to listen to bad country western played at 98 DB 24/7/365/10 years. Bob

    Garmin gets Hacked!

    I say find them, have the Navy Seals pull them out to a tiny island, give them all a Bible, five years of food (rice, beans, and TSP in cans), and tiny one man plywood shelters. Come back in five years and see if they are changed folks. If not, repeat the application but this time give them less...

    Facebook Post by Jeffrey Siegel, Active Captain creator

    Jeff, Seems like live and let live with a bit of common sense in the mix is a dead concept for now in our America (the one that belongs to us - not "them" whoever "they" are). There is always evil in the world. I greatly appreciate the concept and all the work that went into the bringing it...

    Willow Beach Nevada info please

    Hi - we live 30 minutes away in Boulder City about 10 minutes to the main boat launching for Lake Mead in the south end. As to Black Canyon, depending on the time of year there are no motor days and always a limit on motor size even on motor OK days. You have to be careful in the upper reaches...

    Canadian Border To Remain Closed

    C-BRAT family, -- It is a sign of the times that we go from bilge pump threads to political commentary. I skip the topics of the moment and can only say that the fear we all have, no matter at what level or with what justification, is still fear and we tend to let fear color our thoughts and...

    Lake Powell end of July

    If you want, give me a buzz and I will share some thoughts with you on how to have a good time. Key are how long you plan to stay on the water and where you put in as that determines your re-supply and gas opportunities at fair prices. For those reasons, I like Wahweap so you can get to Page...

    Shrimp closure in MA 6

    -- There was not much that "Got my goat." when I was 8 years old but as I add birthday candles to the cake, my "Goat gets gotten." more often than not. I think that we forget that often those who are elected or appointed or hired to serve the public seem for the most part not to like their...

    New Utah Boating Regulations for out of state boaters

    I have noticed that with age you lose muscle mass and with that seems to come a bit of loss of sense of balance. I know that big boats are not in my radar any more but had hoped to get one more shot at cruising, even if on a limited basis. A 25 looks small on paper but huge on the trailer, even...

    New Utah Boating Regulations for out of state boaters

    --- Invasive species control is a Federal issue at heart, not a state issue though they are stakeholders. Look at the Colorado River, it goes through two countries and seven states. Quagga mussels do not swim per se like a fish, it is an infected boat, other object or water flow that carries the...

    New Utah Boating Regulations for out of state boaters

    You are 100% right about we all need to follow the rules but there is only one best way to deal with Quagga or other threats, not 50+ different methods state by state. I have AIS stickers on my two boats here in Nevada, I think that works for the waters we share with Arizona but now not for...
