Vaaaaaacaaaaation Time!
 
I will be leaving for Minnesota (sorry, not Wisconsin)early Tuesday (tomorrow) and returning Wednesday or Thursday next week. Anyone wishing to contact me will have to yell VERY LOUD. In the meantime, you can always contact us directly for technical or other support at the usual number.

I really, really need this. See above mistake. :3DSMILE:

Where (if I may ask) in the Land of Cheese, Bratwurst, Beer and Big-boned people with unusual accents will you be? Perhaps (I or others) can offer you some suggested sites to see or places to eat.

I can't believe it.....on vacation again. Didn't you just get back from one? Going to leave the place all alone to Pepe I and Morty....god save us.

Have a good time

Murt,

Yeah, I just took a week off in early December. I'm such a slouch.

Going to the Open Canoe Slalom Nationals, as I do almost every year.

Both the boats on the left are my designs. I have more time in each one of those boats than it takes to build one of our kits. Only one other person on the race circuit builds his own boats - and he's a professional boat builder. It's as much a sickness as these d*mn Cobras. But cheaper. :cool:
Racing looks a little like this, only the Nats are usually held on more serious water.

Is that an "original" open canoe, or a "replica". Did you go for the optional "big block" oars, or are you still using those earlier style "small block" oars?:3DSMILE:

Have a real nice vacation, Bob. We'll try to keep the troops entertained in your absence.

regards,

I don't get it.
With all the current technology out there, why wouldn't a grown man invest a few bucks and strap on a 9.9 Honda or an Evinrude in the back of that thing?

After all nowadays you can get them in both 2 and 4 cycle versions, and wouldn't be polluting any of your pristine streams and lakes.

Have you thought about putting maybe at least a sail on that thing?
