You use the rubber band method for that?

Wolfgang

Er, are you practiced at this? Have you been doing it for long? How
come?

Actually, I was asking a question.

Now they may not have taught you this in your immigrant "Intro to
America" class, but there is a difference between using a "c" and a
"v". You may want to revue your class notes, especially the part of the
class where they taught you how to use rubber bands. At least how we
use them in America.

There is also a difference between an "e" and an "i".

You may have missed something in your note taking.

Maybe so. But I know what word you misspelled. That puts me a step ahead
of you, ainna, Sparky? :)

who knows that if you want to know what you said, you should pay attention
to the context.

I saw that, I wasn't sure you were offering to help, it had me a little
worried.

I saw that also, but then like I said, I don't always read what I
write, and for certain understand what I wrote. So if it is not clear
to you I am equally quick to apologize. I mostly wanted to be sure you
weren't doing something dangerous, and I took my eyes off the road.

I don't know, as long as you haven't been too much of the latter, and
not enough of the former!

Misspelling was not the difficulty! Misapplication, could have been a
major difficulty. So don't go setting your pants on fire! I hate the
smell of burning rubber!

The context is always life, and having a good time, not too serious,
just right! I enjoyed your boating story also, keep it up. I am
repairing my Folbot, and look forward to getting back on the water as
well. Until then I will just keep coming here for more context. TnT

Frederick B,
How do you like the Mohawk Intrepid? I live in SE VA and I have
excellent access to the Dismal Swamp Canal and Lake Drummond. I am
shopping for a canoe and the Mohawk line seems to be in the lead.

I love it. It's my favorite toy. It's a tandem. Even with 3 people it
responds well and remains quick. I haven't tried it solo yet, but at
17'2" it's kind of big and heavy for that. Mine's royalex, but the
R-84 royalite version is quite a bit lighter. I chose royalex 'cause I
do a fair share of sliding over rocks when the river's low (normal in
summer). If I was paddling exclusively in deeper water or grassy
shallows, I'd go with the lighter royalite. The *only* reservation I
have is the weight. But, that was a conscious trade off for some extra
durability.

The Intrepid is supposed to be a little more maneuverable and better
suited for light rapids when compared to the Mohawk Nova. I'd've gone
with the Nova for tandem canoeing in the tidewater and Dismal Swamp areas.

If you'd like to rekindle an interest in fly fishing groups on line,
rec.outdoors.fishing.fly is far and away the best place to go.

That was one of the groups I participated in, pretty much from it's
inception. I also proposed and wrote the RFD for
rec.outdoors.fishing.fly.tying. The guy that called me a couple of weeks
ago was also from ROFF. Is Tim Walker still participating on the group?

T-bone drops in, once in a blue-moon to share his thoughts.

If I'm not mistaken, he and Wolfgang fish together regularly. T-bone
catches trout for a fish fry and Wolfgang releases the trout back into the
stream, to T-bone's dismay.

Mark --if god had intended man to eat trout, he would have stocked all
streams with non-wild trout!--

Timbo looks in on occasion, I think, but doesn't participate.

He shows up from time to time, but doesn't stay long. When I first found
ROFF some five or six years ago he was a regular participant and contributed
much that was worth reading. However, he was (and remains) obsessed by the
catch and release versus catch and kill controversy (coming down heavily on
the side of the latter) and his fixation only got worse with time.
Eventually it got to the point where he became incapable of contributing
more than one or two messages on any topic without his personal demon
forcing the discussion onto the all too familiar track. Of course, none of
this would have been much of a problem if he'd been able to bring in
something new and relevant occasionally, but he couldn't, and there was
never much there to begin with. I suspect you know the type.......it seems
that every newsgroup has got at least one of them.

Meanwhile, despite the frequent and inevitable (and not entirely
unjustified) complaints about the low signal to noise ratio, ROFF does
better than any other unmoderated group I've looked at. Here on RBP, for
example, I see less on topic discussion than I do there. Lest there be any
misunderstanding, this is not a complaint on my part, merely an observation.
As a matter of fact, and as anyone on ROFF can attest, I enjoy a lot of the
off topic stuff much more than endless the repetition of tedious minutiae
and inane controversy that necessarily crops up in a newsgroup which, among
other things, caters to the needs of a steady stream of newbies looking for
guidance, and serves as a soapbox for self-styled savants.

All in the name of science. It's taken a while to gather the evidence and
complete the statistical analyses, but I believe I have at last demonstrated
conclusively that fried fish are lousy swimmers.
