Good to know Joe!

I have a Roof Rack on my Leaf just for sure short kayaking trips! Maybe I will get back into kayaking this way!

John Kuthe…

Congrats Joe! 🙂

You were one of my first WW kayaking instructors.

Thanks!

John Kuthe…

While a shrewd observation, it hardly matters, since the windmill on the Bevo Mill is purely decorative and not functional at all! 😉

And when I retire and can afford a Tesla Model 3 like my nephew Paul has with it’s 300mile range, I may get back on the Saint! But since my Nissan Leaf with it’s license plates INF-MPG only has an 80 mile or so…[Read more]

But NEVER on purpose! 😉

Wish I could.

I JUST yesterday got a full time nursing job, so I MAY soon be able to invest in a little environment destroying use of Fossil Fuels in the interest of boating again! I miss it like sin! 🙂

John Kuthe…

I hear ya Vince! “They” put lots of toxic crap on soaps and hand sanitizers!

I like and use LazarusNaturals.com’s Full Spectrum CBD Balm, I like the rose scented! 🙂 Feels a little gritty at first, but as you warm it and rub it on the grit disappears and smooths out! Contains Mango Butter, Organic White Beeswax, Organic Fractionated Cocoanut…[Read more]

And I am SO GLAD I never BOUGHT and PAID FOR one of those STUPIDPHONE SPY DEVICES!!

I do have a $5/mo little flip phone normally in the OFF state for any time I DO need a mobile phone. $5 for 80min/mo I hardly ever use!

I don’t think people even have a CLUE about the data on them being sucked out of all those evil “Smart” devices! I bought and…[Read more]

My Leaf has a solar panel on it. I have no idea why. Certainly NOT to recharge the traction battery. Maybe to enable it’s tracking functions like a StupidPhone!

OBTW Chuck, you’ll be proud! I went Vegetarian! Two evenings in a row no animals were killed that I might have my sumptuous DINNER!…[Read more]

Wherever AmerenUE is deriving their electricity from, and while presently they have been using coal and natural gas to generate electricity, AmerenUE sees it’s 500 year future:

So do I! Petroleum is on it’s way OUT! On many…[Read more]

Dunno, I’ve not been to an ALDI in years.

John Kuthe…

I remember when I first started running The Saint 1994ish and the top of the Dam was almost contiguous across the top, with one place to run it over the top, then paddle like crazy to avoid being pulled back IN!

I’d imagine Mother Gaia’s been hard at work knocking Homo Sapiens’ work back into Her Form!  Flattening out all those blocks!

John…[Read more]

How is the top of the dam doing?

John Kuthe…

FLOODS!! Pestilence!

Flush that SEWER OUT!! 😉

John Kuthe, does not burn Petroleum gratuitously anymore!

I do not watch ANY TV, so no I did not see Paul in Portlandia but good that they documented him in PDX as he and Kate just bought a ‘new” house in Washington State! And a HOUSE ON A RIVER TOO!

John Kuthe…

Yep, I’d never own a vehicle without racks!

BUT! I just bought a HOUSE!

And I have a contract with Old World Roofing to restore the original clay tile roofing, $117,671. Done RIGHT! Removing each section of existing tiles, repair the subroof, etc.

I may not get down to The Saint to boat, but oh well, we have to give up some luxuries to SAVE…[Read more]

In THIS:

100% electric, ZERO gasoline, ZERO emissions, hardly any maintenance and quicker than a cat on speed, etc.

John Kuthe…

I was here:

And NOT BURNING ANY PETROLEUM!! And I HAVE NOT been burning much petroleum ever since I bought my 2013 Nissan LEAF! 100% electric, NO gasoline and I beat every Internal Combustion Engine powered Fartbox off the line and in the first 1000ft especially! Know why? TORQUE!! Ever slam a slot car controller? Yeah, THAT! Car goes…[Read more]

Too bad I do NOT burn gasoline gratuitously anymore, since I got my 100% electric Nissan Leaf! And I hardly BUY ANY GASOLINE anymore!! And the Leaf requires almost NO maintenance either!

Now if I get a Tesla Model 3 like my nephew Paul JUST DID, I’d have to get an electric campsite so I could plug it into charge while I was boating! Now THAT…[Read more]

Ah, would that it were!!

It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been on The Saint. Lotta good memories down there, especially the SP 2003 when I went on my Vision Quest by spending more than 1/2 my weeks down there in my 1994 Dodge Caravan “Baby”!

Ah, some of my Best Daze Evah on The Saint! Or as my Brother Bob used to say, any daze on the river beat…[Read more]
