  1. Nice chatting with you Lunkerhunter.
  2. :lol: It's not just a fishing site. Anything goes, well at least until it gets locked down.
  3. It certainly was an awesome day on the water. I think we can top that once things warm up a bit. Great company and great fishing, can't really ask for anything more. Thanks for putting the report together Carole.
  4. I was thinking Great Bear myself, thanks for clearing that up. Great report Raf, a couple of beauties there. Of course you know that I'm talking about the fish right.
  5. This might explain why my 20+ year old 5:1 tanks are still going. Don't need the attention like a Porsche does.
  6. A very big thank you for all of your time and efforts. A job very well done. Let me buy ya beer some time.
  7. Found this and thought it might shed some light on these additives. Don't know how true it is but makes you think about adding some of these products to your engine. Marine Engines Gas additives are often used by marine engine owners. Now that E10 gas (contains up to 10% alcohol) is sold throughout most of the U.S. many types of gas additive products are no longer necessary and may actually increase your risk for water absorption and engine damage. Ethanol alcohol, used for oxygenating E10 fuel is a solvent, cleanser, degreaser, antifreeze, readily absorbs water and more. Additives that once were useful may no longer be necessary when buying e10 gasoline. Many fuel system products CONTAIN ethanol and other types of ALCOHOL. View Additive List which includes alcohol content and water-absorbing properties. View list of alternative, common and chemical names of alcohols and ethanol. Additive products most likely to contain alcohol include: - Gasoline Water Removers - Example: Seafoam contains 10-20% isopropyl alcohol. - Fuel System Cleansers - Examples: Mercury Marine Fuel System Cleaner contains 15% isopropanol alcohol and napha solvent. CD2 Engine Tuneup contains Methanol (60-70%), Isopropanol 20-30%, 2-Butoxyethanol 10-20% and Diacetone alcohol 10-20%. - Fuel Conditioners - Example: Evinrude BRP/OMC 2+4 contains 95% alcohol! - Octane Enhancers - Example: Turbo Octane Boost 108 (North American Oil Co. and Blue Magic Company) ingredient list includes only Methanol and t-Butyl alcohol. Several brands of "Fuel Detergents", "Fuel Stabilizers" and "Rust Inhibitors" also contain alcohol, and should not be used with ethanol blends of fuel. All Fuel Additives & Fuel System Treatment Products, that contain alcohol, should be avoided or used with caution with E10 gas. E10 gas containing alcohol over the legal limit of 10%, often results from the engine owners, unknowingly adding gas treatment products containing alcohol to their fuel tanks. Since ethanol is an excellent cleanser, solvent, water absorber, degreaser and more - It's not surprising that these products would contain alcohol or chemicals with the exact same chemical properties of ethanol. Desiccants, like alcohol, also have a strong affinity for moisture and will absorb relatively large amounts of water from the atmosphere, forming a liquid solution. Deliquescent salts include calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, zinc chloride, Carnallite and sodium hydroxide. In addition to avoidance of using alcohol-based fuel additives with E10 fuel, several other simple precautions are now necessary.
  8. A great day on the water. Congrats!
  9. Check out U & Me Guide Service. Lloyd is top notch. Here is the link to his personal website. U & Me
  10. Too bad about the accident but not the manufactures fault imo. As said previously, if a pedestrian gets hit with a car or truck do they blame the manufacture? It seems that it is the driver who is the one at fault. Always know where people are when you are doing any water type sport before you move the boat. Plain and simple.
  11. A great day on the water with some good friends, very tough to beat.
  12. The security level on the computers is just nuts, Fort Knox comes to mind. I'm pretty sure if I unplug anything the alarms will go off. How do I set the LowFi version up?
  13. I'll see if the IT guys will do that, they seem to hold us back on all these upgrades for some reason. Thanks to the help Rick.
  14. That was a great evening wasn't Bernie. Myself, I'm usually just listening to the sounds of nature. If the radio goes on it will be the rock station for the area that I'm in. Last summer, might have been late spring, the fuse had blown in the radio. Had some electrical issues with the motor and once back from repairs the radio didn't work, figured it to be a fuse just never checked it. Kept thinking to myself that I should replace it, even had fuses on board but just never got around to it....until December when I was putting the boat away. The song on the radio was a Christmas tune. Figured that was a sign to kiss my baby good bye for the winter. Going to go out and give it big hug and welcome to spring kiss this week.
  15. I wish that option was available on my previous boat. Might have been cheaper then the divorce.
  16. Great tip Phil, too bad it never works.... Thanks for trying to help out. Nice of you to give away the bigguns spot though.
  17. Here is the orginal link http://www.ofncommun...showtopic=42093 <BR><BR>Browser is 6.0.2800.1106<BR>Screen resolution is 1280x1024<BR>Java is Version 6 update 13<BR>
  18. Now this may be a work thing with all the filters they have on us but here we go. Text that falls to the lower right side of the post is gone. However, if I highlight the area the text is visable for a short period of time.
  19. Well that just sucks G. Hope you are feeling better soon. Only popped my ribs out in the past, never broke or cracked one. Chiroprator was able to fix me up. It sure sucked not being able to breath without any pain, can only imagine what you are going through. No advice here other then to take it easy, we have some fishing to do in the near future my friend.
  20. For the few minutes (all that I seem to have these days) that I've had to check it out, so far so good. Nice job everyone!!
  21. Great to see you on the board again. Nice to hear that things are going better. I'll get the carp get ready. lol!
  22. Awesome Wayne!!
