That question on a test catches a lot of them, you have to take into consideration the height of the bow eye from the water and in this case you loose some rope length in the knots so it would be less than 7'. Point being that 49' aint a lot of rope.

test question .....at a scope of 7-1 how deep can you anchor with 49' rope?

Be careful,somebody around here paid to ship a truck and it was a fake company.

If they were checking boats that was the Canadian Power and sail squadron. If you have to have your life jackets on the back of the seat you also have to have your baler, boarding devise, floating rope,oars ,paddles ,anchor, light,radar deflector, flares, bucket ,fire extinguisher and anything else I missed. As there is no definition of readily available, and no difference in a life jacket to any other safety equipment ,this is something they made up.

Your local power squadron can do a check on your boat and give you a sticker for it but its up to the cop to pass you over or not. Nice thing is if your not compliant on a squadron check it doesn't cost anything. If your light plugs into the boat make sure the cord can reach the bottom. LOL Don't carry any damaged safety equipment like a torn jacket as a spare or cushion they can fine you for it. On our next meeting I want to ask the guys if I can be fined for out of date flares on board, I think I can, even with the good ones. If you use the old javax jug for a baler glue the lid on, some cops will take the lid off and fine you.

Join your local power squadron, you have to take a real boaters coarse but when you fly the squadron flag the cops usually leave you alone. When your floating around the lake in the middle of the night clutching a million candle power light that's good for like 5 minutes, when do you use it? It would be like holding on to the last flare. Those lights are great for getting me where I'm going but I always come back in the dark. You can get a small light that you can tie on a life jacket along with a whistle .

I have one, originally had a fiberglass deck windshield and forward controls, now all stripped down. 6 hp yammy moves it along pretty good when just me in the boat.

I killed a couple hundred cutworms in 2 short rows of garlic today, never saw them so bad, as many as 6 on a plant.

Americans wouldn't wear seatbelts

Maybe I can get a no airbag discount on my insurance for the truck.

If I had to buy a new car? That's easy, the last GM made in Canada should be collectable and coming soon.

Let the farmers grow the weed, by the end of the year it won't be worth anything.

Wouldn't it make sense to eventually rebuild it on the same site?

Whatever our president Bush tells us to do with it.

How many of us have modified our boat without the manufacturers consent.

I consider the racoon to be the North American rat, not a bear.

Back when I helped my Uncle do sap we would gather the sap and dump the ice or if it was in the pails too long we just dump them ready for the next run. In the old sap house he had one big evaporator that ran close to if not 24hr a day, when he moved up by the road he had two big evaporators and two 1,000 gal holding tanks. Occasionally in the old shack with nobody around and that big fire going he would fall asleep and burn out the bottom out of the pan requiring a spare. The sap would go into the back corner of the back pan (about 12X 5 or 6) and as the new sap came in it would push the hot sap out the opposite corner into the front pan (about 6x6) . In the opposite corner there is a thermometer and when it gets up to temp you take off the syrup there. We tapped 4 woodlots, all buckets. We would fill the holding tanks and two gathering tanks so he must have had least thousand taps maybe two. Best guy to work with in the woods was Mum's Uncle, He taught me how to work with a gang and he was the last one to use horses. I remember the horses but I couldn't have been very old then.

85 ford F250 about a year ago needed an appraisal.

Locale garden column says you'll get more daylight for your plants now with daylight saving time .

My buddy used to go to rehab where they tried to replace his bad addictions with a good addiction, fishing.

It needs to have some regulation on it to maintain a value to it if your going to tax it. If I put in say 5 or 10 acres and plan on selling a fairly low quality pot that a lot of tokers might choose over the high test anyway, figure on selling it for $20 a small bale, come fall the market will be flooded and I'll end up plowing it down. Let the farmers grow it like anything else, in a year or two it will be worthless.

Don't do it! If you must ,put a raspberry bush in the lawn and a few asparagus roots along the side somewhere. Go fishing and buy your vegies from a roadside stand on the way home. Don't ever put cow manure in a garden. Risk of Ecoli.

I'm cruising down the road and a guy pulls form a stop sign at the intersection in front of me and stops right across the road blocking both lanes. A quick jump on the brakes locks her up and 4000 lbs of big block muscle car comes screaming down at him standing on its nose. I got it stopped about a foot from his door and he gives me the finger and drives away. I think I saved his ungrateful life, He probably thought I damn near killed him and made him crap in his pants.
