Again. After some delicious high 40 and low 50 degrees, it's now down
into the highs of the 30's once more. The weather dudes say it's going
to be dropping more though the week until next week end then might get
up to 40 once more.

But I've been reading that there may be some real shnow and ice storms
for March. I knew the warm wouldn't last long, but hopefully we'll
only have about another 30 or 40 days of this crap.

the Lane is getting soggy as the ice is melting and turning it into a
mud trail. I'm thinking on ordering some rock to be spread, but also
taking into consideration that the mud might only swallow it up too.
But then again, I might need it done a couple times to restore the
base of the road...


decisions, decisions.

Good idea, John, but around here that would probably sink too!

Get a Netherlander to design something for you. They put their's on pilings to
keep them from sinking.

This is what you need.

We had two of them in our Battalion in Germany. They didn't work too often, but
when they did they were great. You could launch the bridge and then use the
prime mover (an M60 tank chassis) to pull your boat. Or, you could pull your
boat any damn place you wanted and have your own built in launch ramp.

They're not cheap on the fuel though.

Good thinking but when designed fuel costs was no object. I was
thinking something more like this, but it would be kinda hard to sump
'em out, though.

Most of the barges you see on the various rivers in Europe have the same style
bow. Strange that they'd incorporate that in something like a pontoon bridge.

John, I imagine that during wartime, especially in WWII, they grabbed
what ever they could.
