Crossword puzzles or just general trivia?




The two are blurred together in my world. They're somewhere to the left of
my happy little tree.

Okay, I've got an old pair of sandals and I'm cheap. I've bought a set
of felt replacement soles, taking them and the sandals down to the shoe
repair (I don't have a grinder to grind down the sole of the sandal)
and Bob's your uncle, I'll have wading sandals by this weekend.

I am dumbfounded by the amount of thought this guy has put into shoelaces.

Agree, he also takes credit for a lot of what was done years ago, some shoe
tying techniques I've read in Boy's Life magazine when I was a Cub Scout
back in the 60's. That was the only good illustration I could find on the
double shoelace knot.

I wait with bated breath for the ensuing story!

Will Frank manage to drop his rod tube from a height of 8 feet onto his
unprotected toe?

How easily? With 'laces' of this sort, I worry about that 8-inch deep
tar-like muck on some river banks -- will these stay on?

On a recent trip to Labrador I walked down river about a mile and the
tundra type/peat moss trail had lots of little mud holes in it and it
was easier to walk through the stuff than around it. Some of these
holes were over the top of the gravel guards. I had no problems with
the Chotas coming unlaced/untied. Just can't happen. In addition to
their excellent lacing technique, the fact that you can put them on
easily when they are dry is, of course, a plus. And, they are a good
walking shoe.

Well, the shoe repair guy wouldn't/couldn't grind the sole down so I'm
off to find a grinder to handle the job. Cool, more powertools.

Perhaps you can burn the sole off.

Very nice. But what did y'all catch the tent on?

You'd have to ask Bruce, but I know purple was working for him.

He left his tent unstaked for a moment one morning, to get a precious
cup of coffee I suppose, and it blew out into a slough. It was funny
because Bruce is such a perfectionist about camping. He always had his
**** together (except for a green wading belt, which he eventually found
after much searching).

I, on the other hand ... thank God for Danl. I ended up using his spare
waders, his eyeglasses case, and his Petzl. I even have a Harry Potter
book, in very poor condition, that was supposed to go to him. I lost my
camera for one sickening half hour -- eventually found it in my left
wader leg.

What else? Three broken rods; Danl losing his glasses (twice); Bevin's
and Bruce's Mr. Toad's Wild Ride through the sweeper channel; missing
the takeout, which was the last feasible campsite, and getting towed
back by a couple of natives. It was an epic trip.

Might be cheaper to buy new ones.
