Welcome aboard hotdaddy. :) I like the 2100 better myself. There's more detail in the hull glass work and you can rig it with more power without getting yourself into trouble - at least in most places.

Welcome aboard J. :) Thanks for joining up. :thumb:

Welcome aboard. :) Thanks for joining us. :thumb:

Welcome aboard Matt! :) Maybe you should try putting an "X" on the back of the Predictor? :D Maybe you can be the first Check owner to pull one of these stunts off? :p

Did we mention Sawcat stole all our trophies? :rof:

Those are really neat. They're almost artistic looking. :thumb:

Storms aren't the worry, it's ice. It can get pretty thick and it starts shifting around. It can get to be 2'-4 'feet thick if the weather conditions are right. Usually the two things that destroy docks are the ice moving and shifting and also when the ice is coming out if it gets windy and...

Here ya go Coop. :p ojQ1VCg-CwQ

Pullin' into the beach... I use the truck or the old farm tractor to pull the dock up with a wire cable. This year I used the truck. And the finished product. Now all's we need is for spring to arrive so we can hopefully start all over again- God willing! Time for a little hot soup...

Here's a couple of views of the ramp from the water side - Yolie is taking these from the dock as I tow it to the beach... The boat bumper that you see floating is attached to a nylon rope, which in turn is tied to the anchor chains. That makes it easy to retrieve the chains in the spring...

I have another winch which is mounted on a tree. I use a series of pullies and the tree to winch the ramp up above the impending ice that will arrive in a month or so. :( I also have a secondary safety line which is attached to a second tree in case something happens with the main one...

First job is to disconnect the ramp from the dock... Then I hook up a chain to hooks that are on the end of the ramp... I have a winch mounted on a pipe - I use it to lift the ramp up a bit which gets it ready to winch up into the air...

Well, we're quickly approaching the end of the cottage season. So it's time to pack 'er up. We do a little each weekend, and this time 'round the chore was taking our big floating dock, out of the water. Sheeba knows it's just about over for the season. She doesn't look too happy and...

Welcome aboard. :)

Got me beat Coop. You can upload animated ones if they're small - why they won't work when linking is beyond me.

Well, I guess the canundrum is always whether to allow them (bigger avatars) or not. I think I increased the size for supporter's over on the Check site - but my main concern with allowing big avatars - other than the increased bandwidth and storage costs - is the load time factor for members...

It's only a matter of time before they really build it Coop. Only a matter of time... :D

Not supposed to be. Try it now Coop. :)

LOL! :D What the heck is that all about Coop? Is that a photoshop job?
