    all of a sudden i have been thinking i want need something like this.  '55 or '56.  Flat or matte, fairly high HP engine, but still driveable on the street with an OD trans.  Loud AF too.  Like make people think "end of the world" loud.  

    Image result for 1955 chevy gasser

    That looks like the car from Road Kill.

    Wait.....you bought flat skis from Buckmans, and it took like 2 weeks for them to get them to you?  They really arent doing anything to help with the "shop local" thing.  

    my understanding is that buckman's has one workshop that all work gets taken to, so add 2 days for delivery (out and back). That is why I go to pelican, or blue mt. for mounting, they do it in house so my equipment isn't being beaten up in a truck during a drive around the countryside.

    That is Cucumber Rapid on the Lower Yough in western PA. It's the perfect class III river: fun, interesting rapids, but almost everything is drop-pool so you only have to think about one rapid at a time and you have space to recover if it all goes wrong. 

    Looks like fun. Love canoeing. Never tried a C1 though.

    At what point do they get stupid though? 

    An aluminum boat with an outbaord on a fresh water lake cant be that bad. 

    When you add an engine, the monetary spiral begins. You keep wanting to go to a bigger and more powerful boat, and before you know it you are out of control.

    Yes it seems radical but I didn't go back down that way, went thru Bear Creek and the western Poconos to return to the starting point in Mountain Top. Dont like going downhill that much on steep grades because I tend to hit 35-45 mph which is dangerous but fun.

    I am surprised that you ski, you seem overly conservative.

    What kind of car is an LTD?  Is that a crown Victoria?

    Large ford sedan. I used to laugh at my youngest brother because he always insisted on driving huge gas hog caddys. That is until he got into a three car pile up on 202  and his car was the only one that could drive away. His car wadded the other two up like tin foil.

    I have a few friends that hunt who never see deer. I tell them if they want to bag a deer, all they need to do is let me drive them around at night (in their car of course) and they will have one in no time.

    Yeah you’re a weirdo you said you don’t even night ski because of deer. 

    You have quite the memory, I did say that. I hit another deer this year. My car was in the shop overnight so the dealer gave me a loner and I hit the deer with their car. Ended up costing me 100.00 because they couldn't rent it out for the 5 days it was in the shop.
