We're Not Supposed to Have Golden Eagles Here...
Over here at Winter Harbor, we have just one. He keeps to himself except to announce a Bald Eagle warning: a short "ah-OO!"
(Usually when our resident Bald Eagle juvenile coasts by).

No Violation of which I'm Aware...
1) The Town of Wolfeboro demanded that Wolfeboro Airpark remove its 100 octane fuel pump from the vicinity of its floatplane ramps. A 500 gallon fuel container was placed in the bed of 1920s Ford...

Revisiting Cleats...
I never had any cleats, but just discovered I'd installed one to secure a boat on the dock. It's shielded from producing injury from every direction.
As to toes, a friend argued that you should...

...And Wolfeboro to California...
No, but I had to walk uphill about 400-feet to fly to Florida from Wolfeboro! :cool:
To charter a floatplane from my Florida lakefront to my Florida oceanfront one-way was "only" $2500...

Wolfeboro Area, Lakeside...
No mosquitoes near the lake or near the roadway. In the middle is a soggy driveway and I'll swat a few there.

Could "Model Help" Be On The Way...?
An out-of-state occasional visitor asked why the NH Marine Patrol isn't enforcing wake rules. :confused:
I sure picked a terrible summer to hire a helper to repair major dock damage! :eek2:

"Get By" with Only Two Knots...
I own a stainless steel "pop-up" cleat, but haven't rationalized a good reason to spend a couple of hours to fashion its complex installation--on a post.
(And which post? :confused: )

Speculate Much? Guilty Bad Ice Cube?
1) The difficulty in striking Nipple Rock any other way is nearly insurmountable!
2) A perfect direct-strike would be made easier by mounting a flashing light on top of Nipple Rock. :rolleye1:

These are especially useful for drilling large holes during periods of high water, when oversized "surfing" wakes make electric tool use inadvisable.
Dock workers can always turn sideways to the...

What The British Call "A Shunt"...
