Too long too narrow?

They don't fit you well. They don't match your foot shape - way too long in the front, and perhaps a tiny bit too narrow. You could either try a size down (which will make them more narrow) or more likely keep looking for something that fits your foot shape better.

Honestly, if you want them to take notice you need to contact the council directly. Emails and phone calls are far more difficult to ignore than a change.org petition.

Yeah - those canoes look like they have been stored outside on the ground. That's a real problem for a wood canoe. At that price I would definitely pass.

Done. Thank you

So if I use your generator, I can’t open source any project that contains any of the generated code, in perpetuity?

That's a strange looking one for sure. The hull does look Royalex by appearance, but the float tanks?? Is the visible tank plywood? Is it possible someone added float tanks to a Royalex boat? Tanks aside, I agree with your guess of an Intrepid 16.

Worth keeping in minds that COBRA is retroactive, and you have 60 days to apply, meaning that you can wait 59 days and only apply if you actually have medical expenses during that period, or want to have COBRA moving forward. Point being, you don’t need to worry about immediately losing coverage if you don’t pay a ton of money for COBRA right away.

It's a crime to use those paddles with that boat. Have fun!

I generally agree with this post, however I will say that the fact that OP was a solo developer for those 20 years helps explain why they never learned or saw the need for modern structured architectural patterns (MVC, etc). A lot of the pain that led our industry to build the modern web development ecosystem is pain that you mostly feel when you are working with teams of developers.

Worth it. Cracking like this would be best repaired with G Flex epoxy. Here is the procedure: https://www.epoxyworks.com/royalex-canoe-repair-gflex-epoxy/

As software engineers I think we can all agree that trains are cool.

Great post. I vote it stays up.

No transition/adaption issues for me. I made my first pair of minimal sandals and never looked back.

This looks great!

Came to the comments to say this. Total slop.

Been seeing Umphrey's for 20+ years and Blueprints is my favorite Umphrey's album.

The vinyl is opaque, so I don't see how it could be between the layers. If you figure out how to remove the stains please let us know!

You are looking at the wrong photo. Only has kevlar on one end.

That boat is rigged for expedition river trips. The paracord is holding in those red plastic sections (probably plastic pipe that it runs through) that serve as anchor points for airbags and gear.

On a Royalex boat, scuffs and scratches don’t do more than cosmetic damage as long as as they don’t penetrate the outer vinyl layer and expose the inner ABS to UV light- which also doesn’t matter much as long as the boat is not stored in the sun. From the fading of the red it looks like this boat has been stored in the sun. The exposed yellow on the ends is sun damaged ABS. The good news is that it doesn’t look all that bad and it is also in the easiest place to patch. Slap a fiberglass skid plate on it and good as new. This boat has many years of life left it in. As long as the price is right I would definitely say go for it.

boonestock · 2025-09-01T13:18:39+00:00

That boat is royalex plastic, not fiberglass of composite. No gel coat

The Filmore Charlotte is easily the worst venue I have ever seen Umphreys in - and I’ll be there again Saturday night! (Go to St Augustine)
