Have they tried lots and lots of dish soap ?

What is the cost for a Rolls prop of that size ?

I grew up on Russell Island in the late 50's and I remember the Queen's yacht as they traveled the Saint Clair river under protection of the C.G , Mounties and C.C.G. Quite an impressive escort. I also remember a few Indians, ( quite drunk ) in outboards, crossing the river at right angles to the ...

no visit Manistique would be complete without a visit to the Big Spring -located next to Indian Lake - just a short drive from the downtown area. the spring delivers 10,000 gallons of water to the lake. visitors can view the spring from a barge - which you hand propel across the spring. all this is ...

Nathan - do you have any proof that this porthole came from the Ford ? a letter from Jack Purvis would go a long way to support your asking price of $ 500.00, if this came from the Ford.

be it republican or democrat - please call, write and complain to your congressman regarding the steel dumping. it's time we level the playing field in the steel industry. American jobs are what we are talking about here. posting on this site many express your anger but, a call or letter to your ...

Watching these facts unfold ( steel dumping ect. ) and worker lay offs bring tears to my eyes. What will it take for the Republican controlled congress to act to protect these jobs ? John McCain wants to repeal the Jones act which would put more workers out of work. I've been writing and calling my ...

RDF was a great aid to navigation. when you had two different fixes, you knew your exact position. the signals were broadcast during a ten minutes duration every hour from each station. each signal had a different identifying tone. once you learned how to 'null out' the signal - they were quite ...

that's the problem with fog horns - you can not tell which direction they come from, in a fog, and you can not tell how far away they are. I can not believe these are still used today ! these are totally useless in a fog.

Paul- the Maple Leafs are a GREAT team. they have a very long history in the NHL and I always enjoy seeing them play against the wings. many great players in the NHL grew up playing hockey in Canada. I hope the Toronto team can find a way to turn that team around as they have many great fans who ...

I can NOT believe that mr. I would build a billion dollar stadium complex 'IF' he thought the wings were a second rate team! there is only one cup and there are about 30 teams. that makes the odds 30 to 1 to bring the cup home. many games are won and lost on only one shot at the net. YUP - the wings ...

yes, the wings future is bright. the lightening series , which went seven games, was decided by a single goal ( yup- one shot in game seven ) ! 14 out of 30 teams did not even make the play offs. the wings are a young team with loads of talent at every position. a new stadium complex is being built ...

the wings had a great play off and after making the play offs for 24 seasons in a row - show tremendous potential for many years in the future. many powerhouse teams from years past did not even make the play offs. i'd like to thank the entire team for a fantastic season. the future looks very ...

wings play the lightening tonight ( 4-29-2015 ) for all the 'marbles' in game seven and a chance to advance in the play offs. the puck is scheduled to drop at 7:10 pm. this game will test the 'will' of both teams and should be a real 'barn burner' ! the game will hinge around the play of the young ...

we all seem to agree that there is a major problem facing our shipping industry but, does anyone know how to fix this problem ?
the lads graduating our fine schools need jobs ! what else can we transport besides coal, stone and iron ore and how do we get this done ? do we need to make our boats more ...

because fewer boats sail every year, the cost to taxpayers is increasing every year. one can only imagine the cost this past spring for CG assistance for breaking ice. John McCain wants to eliminate the Jones act to further destroy our shipbuilding industry. in the 50's we had one ship past every 8 ...

well wing's fans - tonight is the night to send the lightening back to Florida picking oranges ! go wings.

anyone see the red wings beat the lightening 4-0 yesterday ( 4-25-2015 ) ? can anyone remember a team shutting out another team twice in a playoff series ? go wings !

with the hockey playoffs in full swing - it's time to watch don cherry and the red wings. go wings !

steel dumping is only one reason for hulls not sailing this year. power plants are reducing their need for coal as they switch over to natural gas and wind power. iron ore prices have never been lower. trains hauling iron ore can now be used to haul oil, thus reducing our dependence on foreign oil ...
