the Canadian $ is now worth 1.00959 USD... go south and you'll actually save more. Randy

Ya got me thinking..I could use one or two myself , have a look at these plans. + instructions for making a twelve (12) fishing rod rack. You can change the size accordingly if you want more or less slots for rods. To give it a furniture type finish it should be stained with your choice of color, varnished, and or waxed depending on your choice. OVERALL SIZE: 36” HIGH x 11 ½ ” DEEP x 21 ½” Wide Make the sides (A). 1. Cut the sides (A) to length and overall width using table saw as shown in the cutting list. 2. Using the pattern shown in figure one draw the actual shape on a piece of oak-tag or brown paper based upon the scaled dimensions. For the pattern shown one square equals one inch. Trace the pattern onto piece (A). 3. Cut the outline with a jigsaw and smooth the cut with a drum sander, belt sander, or by hand. Trace the finished profile onto the other side, and make the cutout. 4. Pre drill 1/16“ holes in both side pieces at locations as shown in figure 1. 5. Drill 3/8” counter-bored holes ~ ¼” deep into the same locations as shown on the outside of both side pieces. Make the top rod support © and bottom rod rest (. 1. Cut the overall length and width of both the top rod support © and bottom rod rest (. 2. Measure and mark the 12 bottom rod holes (see figure 2). Drill the holes ¼” deep using a 1 ½” wood bit or hole saw. 3. Measure and mark the location for the six rod support holders onto the front edge of the top pole support. Refer to figure 3. Repeat for the opposite side. 4. Secure the rod support holders in the locations using a screw gun. Assemble the top and bottom to the sides. 1. Use four cabinet clamps, clamp the sides to the bottom and top. Both bottom and top pieces should be 1” from the top end and bottom end of the side pieces. Use wood glue and mount the assemblies using the 1 ½” wood screws. 2. Mount the four ¾” L metal brackets on the underneath of the bottom rod support to add additional strength to the rod holder using wood screws. Apply Finishing Touches. 1. Scrape off any excess glue. 2. Sand smooth with a drum sander and apply your desired finish. 3. Install mushroom-style button plugs in all counter-bore holes using a small amount of glue and tap them into place. *From OutdoorLife. I might just try it myself. Randy

It really doesn't look that hard to build, depending on how easy the one in the picture is to take apart you have a pattern for it. Buy some wood and a cheap Jigsawq @ CTC and go crazy,sand & stain . First model will probably cost you 60$ ,saw ,wood & stain included. I'd give it a shot, besides, it would give ya a little more to do during winter. Randy

I get mine yesterday as well

Mo-Z on Inn....Wayne, if he stays there he'll never make it out onto the Ice... that means that we'd have to go looking for him and then we'd never make it back onto the ice.

I had the opportunity to try a few from the lot last week...5.0 has TONS of power for such small C.I's ... as for the dipstick..being vertically challenged myself, I know what you mean.. just get a wheel step.. comes in very handy for checking my oil and putting stuff on the roof of my Expedition. Randy

5.0 Wayne?

Ahh! the Crazy Carpet!! As a kid my Mom wouldn't let me cross the street on my bicycle because it was too dangerous... but would let me slide down a tree laden hill @ 40MPH. I just picked up some 6 footers @ CTC for 5.99/ea.. I've seen aluminium toboggans used a runners on shacks and worked very well . Randy

I, at the risk of being shot would have fought back. I did that once back in the 90's on a local off duty power trippin' OPP officer, after he grabbed me by the neck for accidentally hitting him in the head with a frisbee at a local beach. I really got the best of him and won the fight 100% ,I was 19 and he was pushing 40.. I ended up going to court for "assault on a peace officer" The judge threw out the case after 9 witnesses agreed with me. I have total respect for the "good cop" and 0 fro the powertrippin' one.

Trilene XL here... no problems yet 20 years + I have no reason to try anything else

great report ... but you need a camera and a photobucket

what an un-called for

I know ... it's just nuts........glad I live in a small town.. not to say that we're exempt from stuff like this but it's less likely to happen.

10 patients 1 dead (young child) 5 in critical 5 in surgery 6 others dead

Crazy!!

four lines between the both of you.

** Not mine probably doesn't count , stolen from the internet.** Randy

Interesting, Yes! Entertaining, definitely, for sure.. Intriguing, Yep! True? probably more than we think. Randy

same thing happened to my wife with the Jetta we used to own... Sue was charged with "Backing out of a driveway" 110.00$ fine....... apparently is illegal in Ontario .. We later caught up to the "runner and her 2500 Ram " she was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and failing to report. there was about 1800.00 damage to the Jetta... we went to the insurance for a claim and according to them, It was my wife's fault and would not cover it because , that's it's illegal to back out of a driveway onto a thoroughfare. Randy

No worries Man!! At this time of year, even if a bear would happen to wander out from his hole in the ground ,highly unlikely, that it would happen and, if it did , even more unlikely that you'd have an encounter. Randy

I'm not a teacher nor a scholar but... I think ; CENTER means the middle of something "I shot the bulls eye in the CENTER" CENTRE "I'm going to pick up a new fishing rod at the shopping CENTRE" ?????????????? Randy
