I'm surprised you can afford Red Lobster...on your fixed income and all.

 

[Mattski]

Well, for the record, I am 56 and still work for a living. The walker may have been for literary effect. And Red Lobster biscuits are a culinary masterpiece.

He loves that stuff.

WTF? You bust on Red Lobster biscuits then post a pic of something that no one who pees standing up would let past their lips? Fraud!

This thread made me think of this video from a couple years ago. Except I don’t think they went over. I think they got too close on the down side.

The better question is why has a dam that serves no purpose not been removed yet? Better for the environment, better for fishing, safer for boaters.

Maybe the heirs of Mr. Sears can pay for the removal?

We drove over the Mississippi at Dubuque yesterday, and even though the water looked high, there were a lot of people out there. Honestly I am surprised there have not then more deaths. I believe two people drowned up by Decorah? The water is high, and people were locked down for a long time. People let desire overcome caution.

its expensive and requires a lot of red tape cutting. The downtown DSM plan is awesome

The only thing wrong with that is that you selected black cherry. That is the worst flavor.

We are in complete agreement on the DSM plan. Remember this the next time you want to punch me

I managed to get through the entire fantasy draft and since without having a Claw. It is almost a badge of honor at this point. Seems like a heartburn waiting to happen.

Basically club soda and vodka except in a can. If that gives you heartburn then so will a claw.

I can do that. I figured it was really sugary.

False. Thats the only flavor thats palatable

 

[Fan In Black]

I hate those drowning machines. If they are not cabled off it is a crime.

2g carbs per can

Tastes like cough syrup but if that’s your jam you do you.

Someone needs to be held responsible.

Boaters Lives Matter.

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

Not to be callous, but use your anchor???

water might have been too deep in front of the dam....

looking at the pics that would be a long ass cable

 

[bagdropper]

So...no oars too I take it. Dunno about Illinois law, but Iowa law I believe states all boats need at least one oar, then depending on size I believe 2 are required.

I own an older boat and motor. 1980 for each. Motor runs perfect. However, I always take my trolling motor with me, too. Not necessarily that I will use it fishing (or even for a simple boat ride), but it guarantees I will get home if the engine dies.

850 feet. They have had a buoyed restraining wire up in the past. Not sure if they still put it out. Sad accident.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Pretty sure an anchor with 50? feet of line is required as well

Dam it, the dam strikes again.

It just goes to prove that boating can be dangerous.
You cannot have your kayak and eat it too.

Boating in the Quad Cities on the Majestic Mississippi
River is still a great thrill. As a young boy, my uncle
let me steer his yacht under the Bettendorf Bridge.
Of course it is now the Interstate 74 Bridge.
