Now you are probably wishing you never would have called me :chicken: as I'd be long gone. Yes, I may have went a little overboard -- so hot I can't stay in the boat without a bimini -- and its not that I don't even share Ryan's concerns -- I think we all share them -- it's just that I could easily ...

Jeremy -- and after all the beer we have shared and business we have done over the years. Shame, shame.

I'll have to remember -- no posts after midnight cuz' no tellin' what I might say -- diplomacy is not my forte' and I know even without ever meeting them that in my heart Ryan and his lady are as good as gold. Sorry for being overly defensive. In align with the conversation -- My youngest daughter -...

And thanks -- the day has just started and I learned a new word: goosfraba. Kewl!! I will most certainly do so. Peace bros.

Ryan - You are right I know nothing about you and thus cannot filter your words through any type of screen but simply take them at face value -- which to me suggest that girls dressed like skanks are whores, guys on motorcycles are violent gang menbers, people that talk about "stuff" are d...

You gotta remember that Rockport -- the centerpiece of a public city park -- isn't just for folks that can throw down $1000.00 or more for boat and gear and drive to all corners of the state on recreational pursuits. Malvern is a chiefly a blue collar city with a per capita income of $14,848 lying i...

That Red Bull Drinking Contest got my attention as well especially if its one of the "children's activities" (promotes binge eating and consumerism,plus high doses of methylxanthines such as caffienehave clear pharmaceutical properties). IMHO such "energy drinks" should not be dr...

As long as you're not in for a profit, its a go -- because by the time you purchase a business license, procure needed liability and business insurance, develop a marketing and advertising program, set up the accounting for tax preparation, purchase equipment, maintain said equipment, deal with thef...

I like the way you think PanicMan!! Indeed if we don't make our great outdoors more accessible to families and young children -- in another generation there won't be a need for campgrounds or national parks.

Goes to show that once you give away an entitlement it's tough to take it away. Sadly our generation -- baby boomers -- have handed out entitlements way beyond our ability to pay. It's not our tax dollars that keep our national parks open -- it's deficit spending, borrowing and printing more money. ...

Agreed! Don't see many young families in 30 foot RVs going down the road -- mostly greyed hair people like us (or should I say "me") driving those rigs. Tangent: For years we have been told that with the passing of the baby boomers we'd see the biggest generational transfer of money ever t...

The wave won't be much fun -- or should I say it will entail more work -- to play the wave at Rockport -- great for the float and any fishing you might do -- but the multichined hull just isn't designed for play-baoting. What that means? It means your boys are going to want a playboat once they see ...

Sounds like "Surf and Turf" is where you should be this weekend. The trip down from the Remmel Dam to Rockport/Turner bridge is a pleasant "float" with no water features of note -- you could sleep and drift -- until you reach the water park where there is a river wide rock ledge ...

Not yet -- still at nine feet.

The bids to deepen this section of the river were due on July 7 of this year. To my knowledge the contract has not yet been awarded to a successful bidder -- any time now.

The main channel is dredged to a depth of 9 feet (2.7 m) and the river in the vicinity of Little Rock can be less than a foot outside of the main channel -- I believe the greatest depth recorded on the river in the vicinity of Little Rock was 27 feet at normal pool depth. Given that a safe jump/dive...
