    Economy explained in less than 3 minutes

    Roger, I'm that other poster who spoke about contributions to our general well-being. Even though the actual post limited my comments to "financial contributions toward our general well-being" I think you are basically right and that I used the wrong term. Many who don't pay Federal Income...

    Economy explained in less than 3 minutes

    Yeah Pat, I think what is important is not that we all agree with each other but that we treat each other with respect. Discussing important issues only with people who agree with you would be pretty boring. I have even been known to change my mind on occasion when presented with a good...

    Economy explained in less than 3 minutes

    Interesting discussion. Some facts from the IRS for tax year 2008: "The top 1% of all U. S. income earners (those with income above $380,000) earned 20% of all income but paid 38.02% of all Federal income taxes in 2008, the most recent year with information available. The top 5% of income...

    Air conditioning?

    Dr. Bob and all, Our Honda eu2000i generator goes ON a large ice chest, not IN it. You are so right that would be dangerous in addition to destroying the generator. Best, Harper

    Seven Day Chesapeake Cruise

    Dave, Your trip description refueled many great memories of my Boston Whaler years on the Bay. The area around Oxford was my favorite. It is also great biking country. Give our best to Ginny. Thanks, Harper

    Vendor"Atta Boy" for Angola Canvas

    This is out second season with the Angola Canvas cover. Had over 130 inches of snow last winter and 86 so far this year and the cover has done great. I did have to run a large closet pole from the rear of the cabin to the splash well to keep the cover over the cockpit from sagging with the...

    The Cruising Adventures of Wild Blue and crew...

    Jim, I just finished reading Cat On A Leash. What a terrific book. My favorite part was how you and Joan came to own...Er...how Molly became a member of your family. For those C-Brats who haven't read the book it is a great cruising story compilation as well. You can find it at...

    Marketing C-Dory Boats

    Jeff, We also own a Casita molded fiberglass travel trailer. These small 17 foot trailers have the same utilitarian and compact philosophy as the boat and get the same type attention as C-Dorys, though perhaps not as often. The Casita folks don't have dealers and sell factory direct...

    Shots fired! Boater down!

    I agree that the website address of Bill and El would be better than River Horse. The somewhat dark attitude of the River Horse crew often projected a "glass half empty" picture while Bill and El's glass is always overflowing. Same can be said of Jim and Joan (Wild Blue).

    Pumps for changing oil

    Dave, I've been using a manual pump out for everything autos, lawn equipment, ATVs and outboards for years. It is a pump I got from Griots Garage. I have used this probably 7 - 8 years and the thing works as good as when new. http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/car ... tractor.do On my Honda...

    Here's one for the (c-dory) history buffs

    Our first hands-on experience with a C-Dory was renting Marc Grove's 1996 25 Cruise Ship for about a week. It only had a 90 hp Honda but it was a great boat. I like the old cabin layout better I think. You could really get comfortable in that wide dinette. It also had great storage space in the...
