: You in Calgary, Myrl? Quite a shock to wake up to that!

: Rick.........

We have a winner, Live in the North West corner of Calgary. The drift on my front walk this morning was at 5 ft, in the back yard (no drift) it is up to my knees. As for the other pictures... thanks, rub it in ;-) Warm Weather, and even a Sea to go with the sea kayaks... must be very nice.

I was just going to go down a put the Carbon filled epoxy on the bottom of the yak. I'm not sure if it will really help for abrasion resistance, I've hear some anicdotal (sp?) stories from others that it does. Others seem to think it makes the surface more slippery. I'm not sure I suscribe to that theory, I think it makes it harder (or does nothing). Making it harder, and more resilient makes sense to me, kinda like adding gravel to cement to make concrete (I really wish I could spell). Where the carbon is the equivelent to the gravel.

Simiilar to the clear eyelets the previous poster indicated they would break when made from epoxy alone. but were 'hammer proof' when glass cuttings were added (or somthing else was added).

Like a resent poster, I've very intersted in others findings of adding Carbon to epoxy. With some indication of how much was added. I'm told two table spoons to three West system pumps is the optimum ratio.

Oh by the way it stoped snowing around noon today, and it is melting fast. I wonder if the small creeks are running high again... maybe I can take the canoe out....

have a good day
