Lakes Region Pharmacy

Place names of Winni

When I said paddling from Winter Harbor to Greene's Basin, it was well-before my time, so I am guessing maybe there was a half-way stop over for the night and continue on the next day. I just don't...

Kids activities

With reference to the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro - this would be an excellent activity, and adults will appreciate it, too. This is not a military museum, it is a museum of the history of the time...

Place names on Winni

Speaking of Greene's Basin...there is a reasonable sized island in Greene's Basin that my family owned (probably in the early part of the 1900s) and we used to camp on that island, having paddled...

Oil tank replacements

The BIG question is - Are these in-ground tanks or in the basement? If in-ground, consult with your local Fire Chief or Code Enforcement Officer, and be prepared for a big bill. If in the basement,...

early boaters beware

This is the time of year for debris to be floating around. Granted, an entire pine tree is unusual, but is indicative of what else is most assuredly out there lurking, just waiting for a propeller...

Mooring basics

With respect to birds..., probably a losing proposition. Ducks, and other "prolific" flyers view a moored boat as a floating toilet, and once they get used to its location, I'm sorry, but there is...

Mooring basics

Your question will produce several answers, but I suggest that you have answered your own question by saying "you expect some help from the marina". Who else will be as familiar with mooring at that...

Ice

With respect to "ice out", just remember that 'Father Time' and 'Mother Nature' are two immutable forces that no one has (ever) been able to outlive nor outwit.

In early 2000 I wanted to install a generator. The electrician suggested a unit large enough to carry the entire house, auto-transfer, weekly auto-exercise, and an over-sized LP tank. My reaction...

Surface crack in bathroom sink

I discovered a surface crack in our bathroom sink, not leaking (yet), but I wonder if there is a surface-applied product that will seal the crack before it gets any worse. The sink is "white", so a...

SCAM alert

This sounds like something my parents used to say to me, no..., it was my grandparents. Looking back, it was true then, and it still is, maybe even more true!
