I've never seen it done, but it would seem logical, especially where the anchor/chain is continually on view on a pulpit where rust is ugly. My experience with vinyl-coated steel chain has been disappointing... I use stainless steel anchor chains and shackles on my boats........... No rust problems...

Happy Birthday Pete!

Yes it was 28 here this morning. Add the humidity and it is C O L D!

I was, but our excursion to Talkeetna was refreshing. Got some good rest between walks around town. Didn't realize how tired I was.

Well, actually passed through security with no problems. (I usually get the "Special treatment" when I fly. (Purely random they say) First time I haven't been put through the wringer since 911.

Now the wait for "Da plane, Da plane"... .

Wayne, I am looking for darkroom equipment on Ebay and Craigs list. Have some promising prospects! As for the chin cover, Tonight I told my bride of almost 30 years that the motif for this trip was chin whiskers. She informed me I should have started before today. I told that I had not shaved since...

Cathy said this morning we have 21 more days to go before we leave.....

Don, that is the most awesome Swap Cruzer, yeah, I'll ride with ya. :thumbsup: I like the blue stripe and gray/silver interior combo you and I saw color wise. I don't think we will be able to go in as skinny of water we went in on some of our trips puttering around in the "Cajun Redneck boat&q...

Well here are two pics of what it looked like just before I had to cut/shave it off. (A little over two months worth)

I had a pretty good one going. But had to shave when I went back to work. Required to be able to put on a SCBA at any time at the plant. At the Sheriffs office, the Sheriff takes a dim view of us having a beard as well.........

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Five more weeks......

Welder, all here at AAB.com Forum, the "Funny River" fire is twenty miles away at its closest to me, but the winds have been howling for a few days, (but thankfully calm today) so it could be here in a day or continue to head away from us? I'm fine, at this time! Cheers, Kevin Morin Kenai...

Eh?????

LOL!

Thanks Lester. Yes I'm still kicking, just not as high as in years past..... :rotfl: Cathy and I went across "The river" (Mississippi) to Brusly and bought some "Cajun Reabocks" for the Alaska trip this morning. While over there we had lunch at "Bayou Bistro" . GOOOOOOD...

Here is a update. FINALLY finished the antibiotics last Sunday morning. (A staff infection) They had my stomach so tore up I couldn't eat hardly anything without feeling nauseous. Monday afternoon I got froggie and ate a pile of chicken and dumplins. They stayed down and were some kind of GOOD! Been...

Mother nature can throw some tough stuff at us at times. I live near two rivers that when we get those heavy sustained rains here and in the Mississippi part of their watershed. Neither my place or my parents place has ever flooded. But have spent many a hour helping relatives, friends and sometimes...
