My father in law has a self propelled Honda and he does this. If it's self propelled make it cut the lawn by itself, Stick a 2x4 in the middle of the yard and tie a length of rope to the side of the mower turn it on and let it go. After every revolution the mower will get closer to the 2x4... when the mower reaches the 2x4 the grass is almost all cut.. ya just need to do some cleaning up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6dJhzMk6OM As for the snowblower try a new plug , fresh gas and 1/4 can of Seafoam.

Now maybe for the next time ... I can get T.J 's dad to give me another hat. What do you guys think of a "Meet Randy from Sturgeon @ BPS and learn how to swear in French and get a free OFC hat" contest??? Randy

Pick a weekend and let's see who can come.

I think I really am being watched... read my new post. Randy

I left Sturgeon Falls @ 7:00 am Saturday morning with the family with a few stops an the way made our way to BPS arriving @ 10:15 am..we did good time. I shopped 'til my heart was content all the while keeping my eyes peeled for an OFNer... I spent 2.5 hours in there and didn't spot anyone nor was I approached by any. Final bill of sale was 402.06$. With my OFC hat in hand,I then made my way to Chuck-E-Cheese's for lunch and games with the kids.. We all had a great time. We then jumped in the car to make our way up to the 400 Market ( I missed the Essa Rd exit.. sorry BrianB) After a pony ride for Megan at the 400 we made our way inside to buy some home decor stuff and junk. After walking around in the market for a while .. we ended up sitting down for a break. A booth caught my eye .. It was a tackle shop. I walked in and guess what was written on the wall??? here's a picture. I really felt like I was being set up for something As I turned around to look for a camera crew..a guy came up to me and said " I read your post and figured you'd be rolling through at anytime so I just drew up this sign 10 minutes ago" It was "CHEAP TACKLE" a board member here on OFC and owner of the tackle shop. I then went back to the car to get the OFC hat and presented it to him. WOW!!! OFC IS EVERYWHERE!!!! All in all we had a fantastic time yesterday and the next time I go down ..I'll bring another OFC hat along and see if I can actually meet a OFNer at BPS. Randy

I had a great time today and made it home safely. I ended up giving away the hat.but not at Bass Pro...It happened in a rather weird way. I'll post pics of the OFC'er tomorrow and the story. OFC is everywhere!! RFS

No the hat will be given away at BPS or else it comes back home with me! RFS

Skeeter has hit the nail on the head!!!! Get some sandpaper some primer and a roll of masking tape some paint to match and you're good to go. RFS

*********BUMP*********** I gotta get rid of this hat .... any takers? RFS

:rofl2:

How an Economic Stimulus package works... It is a slow day in the small Northern Ontario town of Sturgeon Falls , and streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit. A rich tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at a local fishing lodge, and lays a $100 bill on the desk saying he wants to inspect the cabins on the Sturgeon River to pick one for the night. As soon as he walks from cabin to cabin, the lodge owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the cow farmer. The cow farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Farmer's Co-op. The guy at the Farmer's Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute. The prostitute, who has also been facing hard times, has had to offer her "services" on credit. She rushes to the fishin'lodge on the Sturgeon River and pays off her cabin bill with the lodge owner. The lodge proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the rich traveler will not suspect anything. At that moment, the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the cabins are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill, and leaves town. No one produced anything. No one earned anything...However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a stimulus package works. RFS

Clear as day Terry!! RFS

Actually snap swivels and some Fireball Jigs... a new reel... some line sweatshirt hoodie ... a new rod/reel for Megan & Tyler and lunch at Chuck-E-Cheese's some shopping for my wife in the Mills and the Barrie 400 Market on the way back.... putting some K's on the new to me Mazda 6. plus I have a OFC hat to give away. Randy

Leaving Sturgeon Falls by 7 am ... I should roll into Vaughn by 10:30/11:00 Is any one else going? Officially ..I'm not giving a seminar on how to swear in French... but if ya ask I'll swear at you all you want! Oh!!My OFC hat will be on my head and I'll have a Brand New OFC hat to give to the first OFC'er that I meet there. T.J's dad gave me one that I haven't worn yet. Randy

That's pretty cool.... I thought I heard something to that effect too... But all I could find on WFN was this one. http://www.wfn.tv/video/video.php?video=401803 RFS

I once caught a 8.5Lb Walleye on a Berkley Elite fly rod with a 3Lb leader while using a streamer.... I was 16 or so back then .I cleaned it and cooked it. On Christmas of that year my Sis-in-Law bought me a book called "Gamefish of North America" and in the back there were all of the North American records both C&K & C&R and line class/species. Turns out I had blown away the "Walleye on a fly" record by more than 5 LBS. I was too little too late.. RFS

Welcome aboard the board neighbor ... You'll LOVE it here.... I'm just an hour away... message me If ya ever wanna go fishin' RFS

I heard that Bears can't run downhill... but this one certainly is. Looks like it's going pretty fast. RFS

a "Bear" is also a Cop... so the Bear could be following a Boar or a Bear... technically a Boar is also a Pig... so this could mean that the Pig is following the Boar It's 'kinda like the Son of a Birch or Son of a Beach thing. RFS

That's funny ... I just looked it up and apparently it's a passer-by from Alberta that shot it. here's the picture. RFS

Usually cannot go wrong with a Jig and Minnow... I prefer using a Chartreuse/Orange or White/Chartreuse or Chartreuse/Black 3/8 Jig tipped with a 2"-2.5" Red/Yellow Dace..... Same combo with a trailer hook using a worm should work just as well. Wally Diver or Wally Minnow work very well while trolled over humps. Don't forget the pike gear .. ya might wanna go cast some weedbeds. Have Fun!! RFS
