Fly it proudly while you can. We may soon be flying the flag of

Did you make your pole? I did this in about 10 minutes , from
memory. Had to put some weight in the tail piece to balance it.

Yeah, mine's made. I put a threaded joint at the top of the
vertical piece,
and add about a foot horizontally at the base of the section
holding the
flag (using another 45 degree piece). Eventually we'll put a name
sign on
it. It works very well!
Send me a picture.

I'll do so in a couple weeks. Right now the trailer is at the yard, but
we're going to Niagara Falls when our friends from the Netherlands get
here. It's almost identical to this one, with a threaded joint at the
top
of the vertical section. That makes it a little less bulky for
storage in
the trailer.

Go ride the Maid of the Mist on the the Canadian side. Much better
boat ride up to the falls.



There's a barrel ride he ought to try.


We've got the oak barrel ride saved for you.
