    i lost one of my best customers on the weekend.he just got a new ATV and was motoring in new territory. hit a steel cable across the enterance of a farmers back acre. flipped him off the machine,broke his neck and died instantly. a gate or log blocking the road would probably be just as effective and easier to see.he will be sorely missed by his familly and myself.Been doing bussiness with him for years.

     

    Thats too bad merc......, man, i couldnt even imagine.

    I too cant believe you can just strap a boat to the outside of an airplane and it doesnt effect anytyhing LOL

     

    That amazes me........i thought every corner, rivet, taper etc......was critical for aerodynamics to get a plane in the air and keep it there.

     

    Its why Im not a pilot I'd imagine lol

  9. Reliable Wind Forecast source?

    FYI, the question isnt necassarily in the interest of a marine (boating) forecast. But more-so to see what ill be in for when heading out to the piers on the southshore of Lake Ontario. Basically just wanted a tool to tell me when wind conditions were going to be ideal and whats in store on the nights i can make it out.

     

    If anyones interested lol, its been slow. Past weekend i broke one fish off and saw 2 or 3 hooked. Last night, the big NADA. For everyone, not just myself.

    did a pier trip this past weekend. i stopped in the shop just inside the harbor and right up at the register, at the impulse buy spot, was two boxes of some sort of wacky pretied rigs. I said, hmmmmm, whats in the box. He said "tight line rigs" We got em in chartreuse and flourescent orange. I didnt uncoil it to see exactly what it was, but in the ziplock bag was a coil of mono with a single hook tied on, a treble hook tied below that and each hook had a tiny glow in the dark tube jig on it? There was a styro glow spinner in there somewhere as well.

  15. Buffalo Bills or Buffalo Bums

    I feel your pain Bob!

     

    As much as I hear you guys talk about the leafs and how things just arent going to change because the seats are full every season. I cant help but see the similarities between that and our football team now that you put it the way you did. Were doing the same thing to ourselves down here in Buffalo. Same product on the field for 10 years, but Ralph Wilson still sells tickets to us suckers. May not be sellouts every game, but we fill it up pretty good (actually you guys up north help us there too)

     

    I think there is a bit of a fear mongering plot going on in Buffalo that hints at us moving our team to scare us into continueing our financial support for fear we may lose our team if we dont fill the seats. They know the team on the field is atrocious, and the games are appauling to watch.........so they tell us that if we dont show we can support the team here, theyll take it away. (i say this all a little tongue in cheek, but also wonder lol)

    Good choice Dan, AIC rules. :D

     

    While Layne is certainly long gone I like the sound of the new AIC album, still has that AIC feel to it, no doubt in part due to Jerry's contribution to their sound and style.

     

     

    THey sure have done a great job of keeping their sound intact without layne. Recorded anyway...........i havent seen them live since layne.

    Here's my favorite.... good old Canadian boys..... Taken from Rush's 1978 Album Hemispheres, a great classic instrumental piece :canadian:B):worthy:

    No video on this one but great instrument playing at it's best!!!

     

     

    and from the same album.... another all time favorite of mine B)

     

     

    Enjoy

    Leechman

     

    Great pick Leech.....(La Villa) ......I dust the cobwebs off this one every now and again and its still one of the few solos that can give me goosebumps.

    Only downfall is that Id like to hear it go on a little longer.

     

    Like this one...........put your headphones on, crank them..........put the video on full screen.....watch this act climax to the very end.... and forget everything as you know it, because this performance IS the meaning of life. If you cant muster a goosebump then lord help ya :dunno:

     

  18. Anyone ever take apart a fish finder

    I got to agree with Roy...It is kind of like the factory smoke they put in all electronics once it gets out the unit is toast. However taking it apart to see whats inside is a worthwhile project with a beer in hand.

    Right on Aplumma.........ive done this with more than one cell phone in the past thats bit the dust. Deconstructivism at its best LOL

     

    Nephew loves seeing inside electronics as well. He was in awe when i showed him the teeny tiny little camera lens from the cell phone

    That picture of your buddy is SPECTACULAR!

     

    I get choked up just reading this stuff..........I had to go thru this with my cat after almost 21 YEARS last year.

     

    Its very hard........Never forget your bud. I couldnt if i tried.

     

    Just a week or so ago i went into the backdoor of the house and put my foot across the bottom of the door as i opened it as i always did to make sure she didnt get out if she was at the door. Its been almost a year and out of nowhere i still have that instinctive reaction doing little things like that.
