I personally have run the Saint at -6″ without getting out of my boat except at Dam Breach.

John Kuthe…

Crazy like a FOX! 😉

But a LOT NICER! 🙂

Hello Curtis!

Good to hear from you again!

I have not been kayaking much since I bought a Nissan Leaf, which uses ZERO gasoline and has the plates INF-MPG for Infinite MPG! An=d a range of about 70 miles a charge!

John Kuthe, RN, BSN…

Nothing like the clinic of 1993!

JohnKuthe…

Wow! Good call! 5F out early!

John Kuthe…

Great level, wish I could! 🙂

John Kuthe…

Great shot!

Incorrect side to be “air bracing” on though! 😉

John Kuthe…

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:

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!
