Here is every marker and line in the database, all at once on one map. What a mess - it took some careful design to avoid this. But I think the completely-obliterated map is funny, so I show it to you here. On the plus side, this is a good stress test, and performance is fine.

Along with that mess, above is a custom marker listing that I wrote. Unlike the map plugin lists, mine is generated by the server, so it is not invisible to the search engines. In this case, it is pulling every marker in the database. A bit of server-side caching cleverness, and the processing cost is near nothing.
This paddle is nearing the end of its life, so I decided to try an experiment. I added a "drip notch". This is a small sharp-edged notch that the water flow can't follow. Instead it departs the edge of the paddle and falls well outside the boat. I hardly got a drop of water on me.
To make the notch, simply drill a 1/4" hole by the edge of the plastic blade, 6-7 inches from the base. Then file it to the shape you see here, with a sharp corner at the edge. The back-cut assures the the stream can't jump over the notch to the other side.
I can't claim this idea, I've seen a few paddles with this feature.
The problem with scupper carts is that they always seem to need a third hand to set up, and that hand is usually attached to someone else, in which case you don't really need a scupper cart, do you? Newer models have a built-in kickstand that looks so useful, it got me thinking. For twelve dollar's worth of plumbing parts at Home Depot, I made this.
First, I cut a 1/4-inch slot out of the back side of the plastic tee. Then I cut a rubber drain union in two pieces which fit tightly between the tee and the cart tube. The hose clamps are the rest of the union, and can be adjusted to set the friction for holding the angle. The arm is a foot of schedule-40, not glued in, so I can pop it off when not in use. It is tied on to keep from losing it.
This old scupper cart has seen a lot of use, and this is a yuge improvement. Yuge, I tell you, yuge.
Update
Works great! You can sight the cart through the scupper holes to line it up. Fold the arm up before you go to keep it from hitting the ground.
Error: The map ID (38) does not exist
All maps are now snapshots of one master map. You can now navigate the website by zooming, dragging, and clicking on the maps.
Then I went nuts, and added a ton of markers for things that look promising on Google Earth. Now it's a bigger mess than it ever was.
I also figured out how to draw the county borders on the maps.
The Google Maps API leaves much to be desired. In fact, the whole thing reeks of typical Google arrogance and stupidity. After messing around with it a while, finding out what doesn't work and what you can do, I eventually cobbled together a decent interface. Google needs to fire a lot of PhDs and hire some people with brains.
This site was recently deemed by Gargle as not having content worthy of being polluted by their ad-spam. Just as well.
I sprang for a WordPress plugin that lets me place live maps or satellite imagery in the website. There are three choices:
- OpenMaps - excellent free street maps
- GoogleMaps - not quite as good street maps from Google that may not be free
- GoogleEarth - satellite imagery from Google that may not be free
I say may not be free because Google's terms are complicated and depend on the amount of traffic you get. I'm guessing it will be free, but I can't be sure yet. So far Google has not cost me anything.
