Water is, after all, the source of precious bodily fluids.

Not just Canada... the US states that border the Great Lakes are also very
interested in preventing any massive diversions to the US west.

Heck, I won't complain about cheap water.
But I've seen the issue raised about the local water flow here in
Illinois. Diversion into the SAG canal and then the Illinois river
it tightly controlled by U.S./Canadian agreements.
Wait until the price of water out west gets as high as oil, I say.
Then sell it. I'd really like to sell them the snow before it hits
the ground.

--Vic


We have a water well here, couple of hundred feet + into the aquifer.
Pretty good water, too...we have it tested at least once a year. I
believe the current charge around here for well digging is $10 or $11
plus change a foot, so a 250-foot well would run around $2800 to the
wellhead. That includes the pump at the bottom of the well.

Again, the purpose of the drive on trailer, according to your cite, is
to save on winching.

If your ramps are not scoured or otherwised damaged by the flow of the
water, then by all means drive on. However, this is not the case for
most concrete ramps.

They guy that wrote this article is no expert at boating, or writing.
It is basic information any one of us could write with some bad info
included.

What's up with this?

"A cheap boat trailer more often than not, won't hold up."

Cheap or undersized? What does "won't hold up." mean?

"There won't be as much heat or tread wear on the tires if they rotate
more times per mile."

Really?

"It's fairly safe to say that most boat trailers are weatherized and
protected from rust. If you are in doubt, it would never hurt to have it
rust coated."

Rust coated?

OK, he's an idiot.

Actually, he might have it just right! Park that cheap, undersized,
rust coated, trailer loaded with your non-existent boat at your lot
and it is liable to last a very, very, long time!

Which boat, Gene? Why did you choose to be an asshole?

That's just redundant!



Speaking of beer,

We opened the bottle of Samuel Adams Utopias Friday night. Unusual to say
the least, but very, very good.
Hard to describe it. It has a very faint taste of beer, but it's probably
only because of the hops.
It's almost as good to just to hold the glass under your nose and sniff it
as it is to drink it. The aroma is fantastic. Only had about an oz. or
so, but that was all you needed to enjoy it. Not sweet, not bitter and
smooth as silk. I've had some good brandy and cognac in the past, but this
was different.

Looking forward to the next time.

I paid $10. per foot way back in 1976 for a drilled 165 foot deep well with
casing from the top to the bedrock (about 25 feet)
I thought it was darn expensive then.

As you should. I'm trying to figure it out.
How long does it last after being opened?
Does it make a head?
Where can I get some?
A case!

No head. Not carbonated. Lasts for at least 10 years according to Samuel
Adams. (They recommend keeping it refrigerated after opening, but serve it
at room temp.)

A case of 24 will run you $3,600. (currently $150 per bottle) But the good
news is that the bottle is 24 oz.

Hey! Send me 10 "loonies" and I'll send you whatever the exchange rate
is in U.S. dollars! What is the exchange rate these days?
