Thanks for the info. I am new to kayak fishing and trying to keep it somewhat simple but that is hard to do.

I would like to get in on a group trip! I have a slow side by side. I would even be down to primitive camp as well.

Xxx, What fish finder are you using in your yak?

I bead blasted my 637 and duracoated the frame while leaving the cylinder the original finish. I let it cure for 2 weeks before carrying and It did not hold up at all. I ended up bead blasting off the duracoat and just rocking a satin finish with no more clear coat. If I had to do it over I would contact S&W to see if they would warranty the finish.

Pretty cool!

Checkout the stones river below the dam @ Walter Hill. If you drive down Jefferson Pike toward Smyrna there are a couple pull offs to the left hand side of the road where you can wet a line in privacy. You can also go a few more miles and hit the Mona boat ramp area. Light color rooster tails will net you a few varieties of fish this time of year. If you go to the Greenway off Medical Center Parkway you may be distracted by the girls jogging in sports bras but that's a hell of a dilemma!

I ride dual sports and dirt bikes frequently. My sidearm usually matches the type of ride i plan on taking. When aggressively riding I usually choose a pocket pistol. A ruger LCP in a Remora will fit inside the cargo pocket of my off-road and dual sport gear. Today we rode some awesome trails in an area of Grundy county that has a tough reputation and I wouldn't leave home without a pistol and spare magazine. The nice thing about small pistols and pocket holsters when anticipating rain or creek crossings is that both will fit in a small ziplock bag in your pocket.

The height is o.k. but I would not complain if it were a little taller. I thought about a lower seat to accomplish the same goal but it works well enough for me as is.

I have a semi permanent shooting table on the farm, but sometimes you need a quick portable table to use in other areas. The top is simply cut from 3/4 inch plywood and I re-purposed some legs from a worn out folding table attached them with conduit straps on the bottom. I have been surprised at how often I use this table for range duty or just providing a place to lay a few more firearms. Fresh built AR pics to boot:

On my Marlin I was able to retain the front sight using the lo pro skinner sight. The receiver mounted Henry sight is taller and may be able to use the front sight but I would anticipate having to add a taller front sight. If you drill and tap for the lo pro I think you could get away with the factory front sight blade. I am not sure there is enough clearance between the receiver cover and the inner workings of the rifle but I plan to look soon. Below is a good resource of Henry info: http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=e0c179e33f122d67ad2c68851e590673&f=67

What about receiver mounted peep sights? I have the low pro on a marlin 30-30 and they are superior to buckhorn sights but a little more money. http://www.skinnersights.com/henry_rifles_18.html

That is quite a climb coming in off Fann Rd to Pleasant Ridge in a rear wheel drive muscle car.....It must have felt like pikes peak.

Since you did not get many other useful replies. We are using Cooks Tree Service in Murfreesboro right now on several jobs and I would recommend them. They are not the least expensive and not the most expensive, but they will do the job and they clean up after themselves. They even blew the sawdust off a roof they were working above last week when I came by to check on a job.

What an awesome thing to do for a young man. It takes a special person to think of others first. I can relate to your story since my parents divorced when I was about 7 years old. My own relationship with my father is strained, but god has put some good men in my path that have helped me along the way. I will donate to Andrew's bird so look for my funds in your pay-pal account.

I think I could make one of thos out of a propane weedburner....Sounds like a project.
