Harry’s Island

[Timberridge]

Well then I think we're all set.

Congrats btw.

[Harry]

Have you thought of relocating wolves to the island?

Wolves are already here and it’s even legal to hunt them. (although I personally would not)

Dogs can swim so wolves can too. Or if it is a non-swimming wolf, just wait until winter and walk across the ice.

I’m thinking an “I’ve islanded with Harry” shirt would round out my wardrobe. Congrats! I hope to visit sometime.

Fair trade, I want to visit BobLandia.

Bmills. It's an island. It's surrounded by water.

Harry,
Can this lake accommodate seaplanes? I'm thinking the 3.5 hr drive at 30mph might be prohibitive for me.

They have underwater cables to the islands on all the lakes around here.

But now that we know it’s seaplane capable, let’s just toss the genset on your seaplane and call it good.

Congrats! I'm looking towards that area for retirement.

Where are you actually living right now though?

[mcski]

Do you have any dwarfish friends?

This important thread could use some musical accompaniment:

How far from Eagle River? I would come and fish for a few days. Have a fishing boat and way too much fishing equipment.

Congrats, man! Looks serene. Perfect place to check out from society for a bit.

That's sweet! Dang I'll be passing through close by next week. Unfortunately not a good trip and on time crunch otherwise I'd bring my saw and help ya clear some space. You got musky?

Absolutely it is seaplane accessible. My very first airplane ride of my life (age 7 or 8) was a seaplane on this lake.

Similar story. I had been on bigger airplanes, but the first time I was ever in a single engine airplane was my great uncle's tail dragger, flying off the Three Lakes grass strip.

The caravan on amphib floats is an abomination.


This is what you want

[Mazderati]

What is that? Was going to guess DeHavilland but not sure Beavers were offered as turboprops and it doesn't look big enough to be an Otter.

What about this one?

[The Tortoise]

Oh yeah. Turboprop Beavers are a thing.

I was pulled over by one last year.

[Mazderati]

Heh. Nice. Well, not at the time.

[The Tortoise]

It helps when your brother in law knows the police officer....

I've been fortunate that I've grown up with our family having a cottage on an acre Island that's in the middle of nowhere. I totally agree that there's something romantic about having your own island. It feels just a little bit more lawless.

Nobody can hear you scream on a private island. Wait, what?

Go ahead, try?

I have a friend that owns an island in the mountains. She keeps horses on it.

Harry, have you ever taken a moment to consider the benefits of fractional horse ownership?

[Ted Striker]

What about this one?

But where would he plug it in?

They're all original DHC-2 Beavers, but mine and tortoise's have the PT6 powerplant conversion, and are amphibious, aka "on amphibs" i.e. floats with retractable wheels - which I think would come in handy flying down to the big smoke cities.

Abraham's is a really ambitious and cool project.

sounds like the opening line in a promising porn flick.

The two main ones are:

1) no building within 75 feet of the lake.
2) no clearing vegetation within 35 feet of the lake.

Can you put in a septic system?




Never the Muse is absent
from their ways: lyres clash and flutes cry
and everywhere maiden choruses whirling.
Neither disease nor bitter old age is mixed
in their sacred blood; far from labor and battle they live
