blaque

lol, reminds me of the scene in tommy boy where they belt out "Superstar" by the Carpenters in the car. "Dont ya remember ya told me ya loved me babaaaaaaaay"!!

That had to be a blast and gettin into them so quickly.....even more fun!!! Hope to have similar results this weekend. Same situation.....friend of a friend has a charter boat and I got the invite. Should I be a know it all and tell him " drop here, fish are piled up in 80 fow" lmao

Thats good to hear.....Ill be going out of Wilson next weekend

I gotta say.....I've owned two f150's before this one and I often boasted the same thing. I drove them off the lot, and they never saw the dealership until I traded in. This ones been a bear. I've looked at the tundra a couple times and it's a nice vehicle. Hasn't won me over I guess

Yep.....sure gets dicey thru there, and that reminds me of a dufus story: The guys i saw a few years back water skiing and tubing thru that stretch of water, now those are some dufus's

Yep, there all but gone now.......I had a couple with standard trannies that i would beat the living snot out of and couldnt kill em. We even "braced" the body of a buddy of mines chevette and chopped the top off and made it a "convertible" lol. Actually i think that one was the pontiac version, the T1000 i believe they were called, or for you guys up in Canada......the Acadian. Those were the days

That only leaves 3 more days in the work week to make a truck that works So ur saying i only get a 60% chance to get a truck that works. If thats the case ill go back to what i did in my younger days, and buy disposable $200 dollar chevettes and scrap em when its time for another one

Ford?? 2010 Ford F-150 Supercrew So Far: Ticking sensor somewhere in the motor that bugs the heck out of me (ford says its normal) Replaced clutch packs near the driveshaft, differential link. Felt like i was driving over rumble strips when accelerating from a stop And ill be taking it in again for the third time for a stalling issue. Along with this my gas gauge stops working. Twice ford couldnt fix it Ive been in f-150s for 8 years now..........this one has me seriously questioning what ill be getting into next

unreal

I believe thats the perfect translation for some of the earlier comments

Exactly as stated above..........this thread was about the memory of thousands of BOYS, who walked into a living hell and never got to come home. I can gaurantee you none of them preferred to spend their adolescent years this way. Honor them in the mere mention of this memorial. Otherwise.....take it elsewhere!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Roy, it was a great day with the 3 F's......family, food and fireworks.

Ha, those are awesome pics. That kid looks like a natural

Perch= Ringbacks Drum = Sheephead = Sheepshead (hate that one) Salmon = zombie/boot/spermgun and this one i just learned from hanging out on a canadian fishing forum....Roe Wagon! Trout = Troot (another one i learned here over the years hehe) Walleye = Marble Eye/ Yellow

B.A.S.S. goes bye bye

I "try" the same thing, but this stupid job keeps gettin in the way

in that case, hows tomorrow sound? (unfortunately im kidding im in the middle of a nasty little kitchen reno lol)

Your outlook on fishing for erie "yellows" mimics mine 100%. i would much prefer a nice erie drift to pick these guys up than dipseys or even worse, downriggers. Ive never set myself up with any trolling equipment based on that. Having said thet, Ive been fishing out of the same launches as you for years and just havent ever found a productive way to drift for these fish. I must admit however, that i probably havent given it the effort needed. One of these days i hope to have a day like yours with rod in hand, feeling the fish pick up a harness and fighting the fish the way they should be fought. With my arms, not the boat motor If i ever see ya at the harbor.........throw a fellow american a bone LMAO

Cragar....lol, how 70's

If autocad has parametric 3d capabilities, it would be news to me. I rarely launch autocad anymore lol. Modeling was all inventor. However with my premium suite license I get all kinds of add ons I'm excited about. 3dsmax being one of them. Ive done some work with solid works here and there.....nice program

Everything is modeled except the "spoke" section of the reel, which is a wheel design decaled onto the model

I am indeed lol. And yep u can see the telltale autodesk parking lot reflection in the center nut of the reel

Modeled in Autodesk Inventor, and rendered in Studio

lmao, you got me interested in doodling again

Something ive been toying around with in my CAD programs Machining it would be a whole different story.
