Wild Turkey Paddlers

I tried logging out and back in and didn't see anything. Not sure what the difference is. I'm up to date on their patches.

Terrific. Thanks, firefox.

The site does not have an encrypted connection. It's just a discussion site and has NO information that needs to be secure.

I am also bringing meatballs, but mine are Swedish.

And he never gets his hair wet.

And Sue!

Since all of we turkeys survived another Thanksgiving without becoming dinner, maybe call it a PTR?

Re: Thursday Dec 7 6:30 pm get-together I'll see if I can scrounge up a guest.

Of course I know by now that "perfect" + Jordan = 2' chop.

I can't help but picture Briggsy out there kayaking at the height of the storm, looking like Slim Pickens riding the bomb at the end of Dr. Strangelove.

I'm currently planning on being there for both.

Joy, you sound conflicted.

I'm in for both.

I'm sad (on multiple levels) to report that one of the original campers at our campground passed away the other night, and memorial services will be held on Sunday evening. Sue and I will be attending and won't be able to join you all. I'm pretty sure that I'm also speaking for Ron and Chip who will...

I'm having a minor procedure done on my hand that day, so I won't be able to make this week.

Yes, I expect to be there for training and ppr.

Kiwanee is looking better and better.

I'd be interested in that.

The food is good there. You're going to want to do this at or near high tide. You'll be going against the current in each direction, but it should't be terribly strong. Going with the current each direction would be kind of unpleasant, because with the water so low, you're going to be going over som...

I'm planning on being there for both.

I've added a link back to the home page from the forum. It can be found in the "Quick Links" menu.

Testing wide photo.

Ok, so it appears that it does resize the image for the display, so I don't think there should be any issue.

Excellent question, Bea. If there is a limit, I'll expand it or eliminate it. As far as the size goes, I think that people should try to resize the photos to something reasonable. Anything much wider than 1000 px across is probably going to be lost on anyone, and will probably force the width of the...

Due to overwhelming demand ("overwhelming" being a relative term), I've updated the forum software. The default style is now mobile-friendly. The look is pretty spartan at this point, but I'll do my best to get some images up at the top.

Let me know if you find something doesn't work.

I don't see wet, but the high temperature for the day is supposed to be 51. I'm probably going to wait a couple weeks.

Yeah, it does look good. I'm 50-50 at this point. Lots depends on work. I have to put the kayak rack on the car and dig everything out. If I can't make it for the paddle, I might stop in for CMTPBIDA (Couldn't Make The Paddle But I'm Drinking Anyways).

It was a terrific time. Bea, I think you should make this a monthly event!

Bea, where did I leave my contacts???

Sounds like there will be plenty of amazing food. That should fuel our creative thought process so we come up with great plans for the 2017 kayak season. Not me. I'm going to drink some beer, eat a ton of amazing food till I get drowsy and fall asleep. I'll read about what you all decide tomorrow o...

I think I'm also going to bring a loaf of home made bread.

Sorry, Bea. I wasn't thinking. I'll be bringing Norwegian Meatballs.

Yeah, going out on a "Whale Listen" doesn't have the same effect.

The forum software is currently two major upgrades behind. I haven't bothered keeping it up to date, because I'm a big fan of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". However, the latest versions make the default style responsive, which is becoming more and more important these days. I think tha...

Praying for cool weather. Seems like every year, the first Thursday is 85 degrees, and the water temperature is still 33.

We're in. Right now, I'm planning on something vaguely resembling Swedish meatballs.

I don't know. Sounds like an interesting idea, but I suspect that in actual usage, it could be a bit clumsy. I usually have my gps sitting flat on my spray skirt and I glance at it from time to time. It's not in a fixed position aimed at my face. Truth be told, I don't really have that big a need fo...

Why are waterproof/marine GPSs so freaking expensive?? A 2.2" screen is simply too small for my aging eyes. I bought a nice Garmin Nuvi 57 with a 5" screen for my car for $85. A waterproof GPS with a 4" screen (Garmin Montana 680t) costs $500. I just can't believe that the technology ...

Due to a lot of general complaining that Norm was in the video (and not all of it was from Norm), I've switched in a new one. The lighting isn't as good, but it's less flat water. I'll get better videos once we get into the season.
