Thanks @Cosmos ran it for a week in Temagami last week and it was fine. Tbh I didn’t even look at the speedo. The stupid garmin force kraken though. Died on day 2, not impressed.

Hi guys. I redid the impeller on the motor this spring and hit the lake for a weekend. (It’s a 2015 60hp 4-stroke Merc). I noticed a sheen on the water behind the boat that I believe is due to oil spilled in the cowling during oil an oil change, slowly dripping out. At least that’s my hope. It’s not from the power trim and I don’t think it’s coming from the lower unit vent or drain as there’s nothing on the garage floor. I cleaned the engine and put it on muffs yesterday and noticed water draining from the cowling above the lower unit (not the lower unit itself). It hadnt happened before (that I noticed) and I went back to my videos of previous years to verify. Just with the muffs, motor not running, everything is normal. Motor running, in neutral, normal. Clicked into gear, water comes out the different spot. I’ve attached pics showing. I have video as well Is this something I just hadn’t noticed before and everything’s good? Or did I bugger something up doing the impeller? Need to see a mechanic or am I overthinking things? Thanks fellas

Is Brampton Truck and Trailer not around anymore? i saw Manny last spring there.. I can dig up his number from a friend if ya want?

Manny at Brampton Truck Service on Strathearn.. Couldn't recommend him enough

Big Jon had a thinner track system that I put on my gunwales.. i did have a tough time finding them a couple years ago, though..

aren't all coyotes in Ontario 'coywolves'? could've sworn I read that somewhere.

FRAT Warning! We had Bell hooked up when we moved into our new place. They ran a 'temp' line from my neighbours place to ours, across 2 yards and driveways. That temp line is still there, 4.5 years later. I've called numerous times, stopped the service guys in the street, etc.. No use. We had (what I thought at the time) was a good deal on their Fibe25 package with an extra $15/month for unlimited use. Fast forward to our current state of affairs with 2 kids remote learning, and 2 of us working remote. The Fibe 25 wasn't cutting it. Looking at their site, I saw the Fibe50 for a $1 / month more then my base package, inclusive of unlimited usage.. so god know how long I was donating them $14/month needlessly for 1/2 the bandwidth. I had them upgrade me to the 50 package, which would require a tech to come out. They didn't want to hear that there's 4 of us that need the connection during the day and can't afford downtime. Regardless, tech shows up mid day and I race out and let him know "Hey, my wife's teaching online, and I'm going to be presenting online, both kids are online. I realize you're going to need to interrupt the service at some point, please just give me a quick heads up so we can accommodate our meetings. As expected Tech killed the connection without warning (I literally watched him on camera) then hopped in his stupid van and high-tailed it. That started the circus and endless loop of support call -> transfer -> disconnect -> repeat. I was told that there would be a tech out the next day to fix it. The initial tech ended up showing back up a couple hours later. I "politely" let him know how much of a scum move what he did was. He spent the next 4 hours farting around, before giving up, saying someone will be back at some point the next day to finish. No Tv, No Internet. Next day Tech 2 shows up. I went down the laundry list of things, including the 'temp line' which I was assured "hasn't been there for 4.5 years". There is a chance that years of drug and alcohol abuse has rewired my brain, but I dont think it's that severe. Regardless, Tech 2 can't figure out what the hell Tech 1 did. I just told him to revert everything back to the state it was in prior to Tech 1 showing up. He said he did. Left. Internet works for a hot minute. Tv works for less then that. Restart the process: support call -> transfer -> disconnect -> repeat; I'm told it will be 48hr until they can get someone back out. I'm starting to go numb with rage. They wouldn't escalate me to a manager. I started the onboarding process with Rogers at that point. Ya I know they essentially operate under the same model. I don't care. Surprisingly, the following day (a Saturday) Tech 3 shows up first thing in the morning. I explain the entire situation again. Emphasize that I no longer want anything new added, just the problem remediated, my service restored to the previous state. I want it done by 1pm because I've been waiting for a couple decades to see the Bills win a post season game. As expected Tech 3 can't figure it out, due to ancient infrastructure, but he's put in a work order to run a proper line to the house. Painted up the yard etc. Alas he left without reverting / fixing me. I had to stream the game. I was not happy about it. I was in a code red meltdown. Numerous calls from their customer service folks followed, looking for feedback on the work done. Each and every one of them got my constructive feedback. Rogers showed up on Monday, he was here for 5 mins. We got setup and have bandwidth that is orders of magnitude better then what we were getting from Bell, for a less than 1/2 the price. I know, I'll have an episode with Rogers at some point, but to be fair, they took care of me very well when I was porting between mobility providers in the fall. That is also a lengthy, ridiculous Bell episode.

5G covers the 6GHz band , so you'd likely only get a 4G in a house..

would be handled by the direct trading and investment line of business: 1-866-638-5395. hopefully they're better to deal with than the Easyline folks..

this is truth.. white big-o's and live target crawfish were the ticket for us the last couple years..

Joe, I picked up a pellet grill in Dec. haven't touched the gas grill since.. Louisiana Grills are highly thought of.. I was considering the Green Mountain for the wifi, but it takes away from the experience. you'd probably need a new phone if you went that route too

$15 at Jordan

you want the AR-180B if you're looking for something similar to the AR-15.. pretty cool but a little overkill for blasting Coyotes..

i run a newer version of the same boat.. 2 guys loaded up, it's great.. this past weekend had 3 in there and it didnt want to move. ended up making one of the goofballs sit up front till we planed out..

stayed at royal hicacos in varadero.. there's an inland pond across the road that has tarpon in it.. nice ones too.. casting from spots on the shore with spoons proved to be lots of fun. members of our group had rods/reels go missing at some point between toronto and cuba.. i packed just rods in a hard case, locked with my name/address on it.. everything else in my luggage. replies about the locals are spot on.. they're awesome. left a mess of line/terminal tackle etc with a bartender that took us out to his spots for surf fishing (more accurately: getting smashed on the beach with the locals) the harbour at the tip of the penninsula had lots of places to fish, we had follows there, but didnt catch anything..
