Get one of those enclosed hose reels that come with the skinny blue hose. It will easily hold 200' of 3/8 rope. I use one for my pressure cleaner hose If you go to http://www.pancanal.com/common/multi...flores-hi.html you can watch the ships. Many, maybe most, have the docklines on reels. The worlds biggest freighter, the Emma Maersk, has a crew of only 13 and they pretty much have to do it that way. Casady |

There is a joke around the Iowa lakes about cooking carp on a plank. You give the fish to the cats, and eat the plank. Casady I was thinking about the old coot on the brick story too. |

Made two BIG cleats to store two hanks of 100' each anchor rope. Boy, does that stuff birdnest no matter what you do. Cleaned up some wiring. Made a cradle for the troll motor, as well as a new hardwood place on the gunnel to attach it. Dried up some stuff I didn't even know got wet, like the inside of one tackle box. (Glad I caught it before it fermented for a good while.) Using this time to get some fixups done. Going to the boat store this afternoon with my gift certificate for $50, plus another for $10 if I spend the fifty. Been sunny here, in the low 50's today. Plan to start fishing soon. Going to make a cover out of two of those brown tarps from HD, as I have an upholstery sewing machine. Enjoyable just putzing around. The eagle is back to the cottonwood less than 100 yards from my shop, and he keeps an eye on things. He's not as fidgety now, and doesn't fly off so quickly now. Must have been an inspector in another life. Steve If going to West Marine, tell them you just bought a boat. They give you 10% off. How far west are they? I'm in Utah. Steve They may be in St. George, but I know they are in Henderson. Go to their website. They are based out of California. I get to Henderson regularly. I graduated high school there. Steve |

"Environmentalists encourage eating tilapia. Oceans Alive ranks U.S. farmed tilapia as an “eco-best” choice, meaning they don’t damage the environment (through pollution of waters, reduction of biodiversity, overharvesting, etc.). So does National Geographic’s Green Guide. Tilapia are also lower in contaminants than other fish. Growseed says that: “as concerns about mercury contamination in fish increases, pond- raised tilapia are a safe toxin-free food because they do not build up environmental pollutants in their meat. That’s why Co-op America places tilapia squarely on the “safe” list. But…um…do they actually eat poop?I have googled and googled and googled, in search of answers to this question. It appears to me that the TILAPIA EAT POOP folks were ultimately informed (directly or indirectly) by the Vomit Island episode of the Dirty Jobs television show, on the Discovery Channel. In this episode, tilapia are used to clean the poo that has accumulated in the tanks of hybrid striped bass. Fear not, though: not all farmed tilapia are fed on waste matter. For a little reassurance, check out this guy in Maine. How about in their natural environment? You won’t find many wild tilapia in your grocery store, but in their natural enviornment, they thrive on wide variety of natural food organisms, including plankton, succulent green leaves, benthic organisms, aquatic invertebrates, larval fish, detritus and decomposing organic matter. The key word there is “detritus,” which includes all kinds of things, including, most likely, fish waste. So, yes. The answer, to all you TILAPIA EAT POOP Googlers, is “sometimes.” Which maybe should turn me off to eating tilappia, but the more I researched, the more I thought about other things that are fed on disgusting things (like free-range chickens, which eat the bugs out of cow poop; or mushrooms, which feed off decay; or really any kind of food that takes organic fertilizer…including the tomatoes and greenbeans and carrots I myself grew last summer, which were fertilized with composted manure from a nearby horse farm…). Waste is consumed in order to support new life: that’s what happens in an ecosystem. I’d prefer that any day to ground meat that’s covered in actual poop. That said, the key to tilapia appears to be finding a quality source. Given that they can thrive in low quality water, you’ll want to be careful about not getting tilapia from a water source that is too low quality. The Monterey Bay Aquarium (experts in this kind of thing) says that farmed tilapia from U.S. should be a first choice; and farmed tilapia from China should be a last choice. Indeed, earlier this year, the FDA rejected a bunch of tilapia (and other seafood) imported from China, due to concerns about recurrent contamination from carcinogens and antibiotics. Kevin Fitsimmons, Professor of Environmental Science at the University of Arizona, disagrees, however, claiming that “the Chinese actually do a pretty good job.” (I’m not sure if Dr. Fitsimmons read this, but I’d be curious about his reaction)." |
