rmorgan,

I got the new Sony F717. Haven't had time to play much with it yet, plus the weather has been absolutely Edgar Alan Poe-ish for days. Thanks for the link on Galen Rowell.

Gary, I just took a look at the TBN off-topic rules. It would seem that the rule changes are a lot more significant than just requiring users to stay away from politics, religion and jokes.

Interesting how my long (ago) term memory works. I remember keying "dahditdit dit" a gazillion times as a boy and know what it means, but forgot that it was composed of the letters d and e. Must have...

I got my general license when I was 12--K2OFP--but lost it a long time ago due to inactivity. I'm so sorry I didn't at least keep my call sign. My father, who got me into the hobby at the same time...

I just got my first digital camera today.

Part of the justification was to do nature photography. This is one whopper of a justification, because I also used it (in part) to buy a top of the...

I guess I proposed "segregating" the topics of hunting/fishing from conservation/protection mostly as an artificial boundary to avoid confrontation. I may have changed my mind. I agree that hunters...

I don't think we should throw out the baby (hunting and fishing) because we are afraid of some bathwater (animal conservation). Hunting and fishing is a "got-to-have" for a country life forum. It...

I'd like to expand on my animal rights topic suggestion. I don't mean something extremist to start arguments. There are many people, however, who are not hunters. Who are interested in attracting...

For powerboating, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, waterskiing, etc.

I third it. And to balance things off, an animal rights forum.

Country shmountry. If you want lots of traffic, you need to start CityByNet. The number of possible forums is truly mindboggling. "Rats, Roaches, and other Pets." "Guns, Brass Knuckles, Mace and...

There is a very nice magazine entitled Wooden Boat for builders and other enthusiasts of wooden watercraft. There are also several books, manuals, plans, and even kits for building wooden canoes,...

Joe, all I can say is that it is difficult to type when consumed with uncontrolled jealousy.

MRB, great macro shot. May I ask what camera you used for that?

We've been doing live trees. I think its a great idea. We don't limit ourselves to the classic pyramid shape, otherwise you end up with only a limited selection of trees. Go for unusual shaped...

I don't have a pond and get my water from Poland Spring, Maine, but a mountain creek fed pond will certainly silt up physically in addition to whatever is going on in the chemistry and biology of the...

Directing the TBN rural life forum over here sounds like a natural. You have a base of TBN members who will flow over for discussion, plus it will avoid duplication between the two forums, and...

It may have started with my father, as many things did in my life. He was from Scotland. In Britain, they don't dip their chips (ie, french fries) in ketchup. They dip fries in vinegar. That's what...

Reading the salsa thread reminded me that I think I am a vinegarholic. For example, I LOVE salads. But upon sober reflection, I think salad is merely a vehicle to slurp salad dressing. And salad...

Harv, what fills your pond? Runoff from a creek, artesian aquifer, regular aquifer, or a combination of those?

This would seem to be a natural subject to discuss re country life and farming. Does this forum propose to entertain tractor discussions? Stated differently, how does CBN propose to co-exist or...
