    What's the riskiest stunt you've ever pulled?

    Not sure. Just remember a drop and volume of water well beyond the capabilities of my rig. Should have gotten a clue when it blew my buddy completely out of his kayak!

    What's the riskiest stunt you've ever pulled?

    Yep. Been to those falls? Not a place for a solo canoe with flotation bags.

    What's the riskiest stunt you've ever pulled?

    I’ve screwed up more times than I can count. The worst was trying a very large waterfall in a solo whitewater canoe. This occurred in @Tubby’s Canteen country. In my defense, I was a very good whitewater paddler. I got sucked into the foot of the falls. After kicking out, I was sucked...

    Control of Hormuz becomes less important by the day. The Saudis have completed a major expansion of the east west pipeline, dramatically reducing their dependence on Hormuz. Further expansion is in the works, although admittedly the Houthi's are causing problems on the exit of the Red Sea. A...

    Rigby scope mounting issues

    IMO it’s a huge mistake to drill and tap that rifle. Bite the bullet and use the correct mounts for the rifle.

    Snakes!

    Yep, timber rattler. We get the odd diamondback, but mostly timber. The diamondbacks can be huge. We had one that stretched all the way across our driveway. I figured it was a king snake until I got up on it and saw that it was a rattler.
