Harry, we all know you are a failure in life, that's why you must lie
about every aspect of it. Perhaps it's because you are too stupid to
know that being in a sport with rules, expectations, and consequences
for NOT following the rules, plus the fact that it teaches you how to
be competitive without being an asshole about it (something you should
take to heart), does indeed teach you a lot of basics about life.

That Class I picture would be major rapids here in Florida. *Our scale
of difficulty is due to the number of trees you have to pull your boat
over and the number of snakes.

I have zero interest in "competitive canoeing" *or its lingo, but I do
like to paddle around in a canoe on a pretty river. I've seen a few
snakes swimming in the Shenandoah from time to time. I have no idea what
kind they are. What's nice is fly fishing on the river from either a
canoe or a raft, or just going for a swim.

I'd love to see THAT! It's got to be quite a site watching Harry shoe-

"I've been canoeing on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River for years.
Stage I and Stage II, mostly. Enough excitement for a canoer like me.
Very dependent on level of water and flow."

Stage I and Stage II what? Or do you just lie a lot?

Since until recently you thought I was 5'3" (almost a foot off), and
since you have not seen a recent photo of me and since you don't know
anyone who has seen me in the last year or so or even longer, you have
no idea what I look like or how much I weigh.

Second, you also know nothing about fishing, fly or otherwise.

Do you work extra hard at showing yourself off as an ignorant little
turd? Or does it come naturally?

Lots of people think you are small and narrow minded. So what if you are
a few inches taller than imagined.You are still an ass.Unless you think
our visualizations of you wouldn't do you justice, there is really no
need for you to post a photo. The meat hooks you posted holding a room
key from your girlfriend's business trip to Calif give a pretty good
indication of your physical condition.

Our spot is out in Bentonville along the Shenandoah's South Fork. I and
II rapids, enough for me.

I don't canoe there, but the rapids around Great Falls, Va., would be
enough to send you home crying, if you survived.

You can tell by the way the river meanders in that area that it's going to
be a 'wild and wooly' ride, huh Harry?

Precisely as I described.

BTW, was your fixation with pustules responsible for your losing all
your teeth?

Rattlesnakes, maybe, but cottonmouths and corals range generally south of

I thought water moccasins / cottonmouth were everywhere.

FloridaJim is geographically challenged.

Rattlesnakes can be found throughout the mid-Atlantic states, along with
copperheads. There are at least a dozen varieties of snake in this part
of the country, maybe more, but not many poisonous ones. I've never seen
a rattler out by the Shenandoah, but that doesn't mean they aren't
there. I have seen a few copperheads. I've seen big corn snakes on my
property right here, and we have an old ravine I do not walk in without
wearing tall boots.

The big threat out there is, incredibly, feral dogs. There are packs of
dogs around, wild ones, and they attack people. Which is why it is a
good idea if you are hiking to carry a sidearm. The other threats to
people come from bears. There's a bear cave on the property out there.
There also have been sightings of cougars, supposedly.

Mostly, though, if you are careful and quiet, you will see foxes,
possums, raccoons, squirrels, frogs, and, of course, all manner of
birds, including some gorgeous hawks and eagles.
