You could feed the kid brightly coloured and nicely textured foods and stand him in front of an easel.

I keep the house just a few degrees cooler than exterior temps and it feels much cooler than the damp outside. A very comfortable, dry 80F in here right now as opposed to the 96.8 dampness outside.

96.8 in the back yard right now. Thunderboomers later this afternoon should bring that down 10 or so degrees.

Connie, you know of course that the democrats invented windchill and the humidex. It was much more comfortable before that blunder.

Yup.

Have you got the new Internet Exploder with that?

Did you forget to mail your cheque John? I haven't received anything yet.

Well there you go.....stay with what you've always used....10lb. XL. Case closed. You don't need to thank me, you're almost at 20 posts anyway.

Good stuff Mike. Glad it all came together for you.

Fantastic, guys!

Sounds like a super day for you guys. WTG!

Nothing wrong with fishing those depths just bear in mind that hauling them up from below 40' you'll be taking fish home to eat. Walleye don't travel well, vertically.

Welcome aboard. I imagine the price is about right. It's legit. You don't need a boater's card when renting a boat. Only people who have driven boats all their lives need the boating education.

No you don't need carpet except for esthetics.

Cedar is too expensive, use pine. Lots of guys with riveted boats use Glide-Ons.

If you really want something nice, install "Glide-Ons" on top of the carpet. Google it.

Yeah Bob, I could have been less emphatic about it. For me, untreated wood is cheaper, and will last at least 10 years. Also, I kinda dislike having pressure treated wood anywhere near aluminum.

Re-did mine as well. Here are a few tips....mostly common sense stuff. Like most, I didn't have the luxury of putting my boat on another trailer while I changed the bunks so I had to carefully measure the bunks for the new wood. Specifically the exact position of the carriage bolts. Once done, I went to the ramp, launched the boat and had the old bunks off and the new ones one within 5 minutes. 1- Do not use pressure treated wood. Find the straightest lumber you can. If there happens to be a slight "wow" in the wood, install the piece convex side up. 2- Bore countersunk holes in the exact locations needed to line up with the metal bunk supports on your trailer. Make the hole tight enough that the bolt doesn't spin. 3- Cut your bunk carpeting to size. Do not cover the underside of the bunk, leave it bare. I used 1" stainless staples with an air gun. 4- If you'll be installing the bunks at a ramp, make sure that you can easily remove the old ones. Bring everything you think you'll need for removing the old bunks and installing the new ones. It's a cakewalk. Good luck. Any other questions, feel free to PM me.

Welcome to our community Phish AKA Phishfearme. Looking forward to your input.

I can't believe some people still "sign" petitions on the net. They are worthless. What they are useful for though is that they make the person signing feel as though they have done something tangible and it'll ease their conscience. I'll tell you something. Go to that site right now, register with a first name (any name), the country you're in and a phony email address. Guess what will happen when you hit enter....yup, you got it....you now count as another bogus vote. Now what do you think the document with 100,000 votes will be worth when push comes to shove? You want something done about this? Go see your member of parliament...phone him/her...knock on their door...tell'em you're mad as hell.....what's the use, maybe you're right. Go to the site, vote, hit enter then hit the pillow and have a good night's sleep knowing you've really done something good. Just sayin'.....

Any plastic container as long as they're not completely full.

It only wraps around the guides eh? HAHAHAHAHA That's a relief. Hey Gordie! Last night I dreamed I was fishing with a flexible carrot. That's beautiful, Frank, call production and marketing, tell'em I want a million units on the market next month. We'll call'em Carrot Stix! Hey boss, consumer research says the fishing geniuses want to match the hatch. Go for it, Gordie! But boss, the only colours we have left in the paint department makes a kind of a monkey puke colour. Close enough Gord......put'em out there. They'll buy'em. Blood red hooks to imitate injured prey? But boss, I hear that underwater the red appears as a dark grey or black. As long as it looks like red when it's on the shelves Gordo.... Gotcha boss. I'm really glad you guys aren't into sky diving.

Dispatch means to end his days. Why must you use water? If you could not clean your fish as soon as you got home would you leave it in water?

A quick dispatch and throw them on ice 'til you get home. Livewell is useless for that unless it only has ice in it.

Weeds, there's something that I'm not understanding here. If you had several rods that covered the applications you used them for, why would you want to "upgrade" to fewer rods that you not sure will do the job? Is it a bling thing? I'm confused as usual.
