I wonder if Mickey will be making a Cameo appearance and whether the plotline involves the kidnapping of Cinderella by an evil Sith Lord????

Paul, my belated condolences to you and your family.

Nice ride Lew! Use it in good health. It sure is a nice truck. If you stick to the speed limit on the highway, it will be decent on fuel.

Lew, if you were handy with a 410, you'd never have to buy another turkey from the grocery store.... Jeez, in south Oakville to boot. I'm up by Dundas and Neyagawa and there used to be a bunch of deer up on the north side of Dundas once in a while but it's been a while since I've seen any. Haven't seen any wild turkeys up this way.

Good luck fellas!! This was the year I was planning on getting back into hunting but I kinda got sidelined by my health. So fill your freezers and be safe whether you ae in a stand or you are bushwhacking.

Its in my neck of the woods. Depending on how I feel, I will try to stop in for a wing or two.

Good news Wayne!!! She's going to lick this.

Bearskin rug in front of the woodstove and bear stew for dinner. This one is getting bold and needs to be dealt with. OPP and MNR kinda washed their hands of problem bears so it is up to you. You can try a 12 guage loaded with beans or rock salt OR a 3inch slug. I'd try the first option. Don't mess with it Lew, they are sure cute and cuddly looking but they are a wild and ornery animal.

He also played a character on an episode of MASH which was on yesterday. RIP Alex.

She's a trooper Wayne. I was supposed to start my chemo today but due to the backlog at the hospital today I got bumped to tomorrow morning. I'm still planning on making my way downtown to see you one day. Keep an eye on your pm inbox. Take care of your little girl and keep your head up.

What about air getting into the fuel line?? Does the ball stay hard after you've run for a bit? What condition is the fuel pickup like in the fuel tank?? Work back from the tank to the motor ruling out potential suspects.

Nice!!

CAREFUL navigating!! Stick to North Bay and South Bay just down the way. All the fish you want to catch are in there, you just need to find them, its plenty of water to work.

Aikmans in mississauga. Hwy 10 and Dundas on Novar dr. He will clean lube and repair anything that needs it.

Enjoy it till you store it, then change the oil, the gear oil and stabilise the fuel and that should be about it for an outboard.

Running 10w30 in an i/o is asking for trouble. Reason being, an i/o engine which is a slightly modified car engine runs hard constantly. Picture driving your car up a neverending hill. That's what boat engines have to endure. I run straight 30 weight oil in my 4.3. If he's that thrifty, run 15w40 that goes on special at West Marine. Just make sure the oil gets changed at least once yearly if not more depending on use. Trashing an engine to save a few bucks on oil is kinda dumb. There's hundreds of these kind of threads on iboats.com. Everyone has an opinion.

Wayne, I've been following jen's fight from the get go and it has truly been inspirational. She is a beacon of hope to those who think they can't fight any longer. As for myself, I remain positive and have to hurry up and wait for the results from my bone marrow biopsy which will hammer down exactly what I have and then a treatment plan can be put together. I was diagnosed at Oakville Trafalgar and my treatment should be at Credit Valley. A trip downtown for me isn't too big a deal. I've put my life on hold and distractions are welcome. I will let you know. You can hoist a pint and I'll have an ice cold coke. Your generosity and willingness to help around this board is legendary. Karma WILL show you some love. Keep your head up.

Wayne, you keep on trucking. I got my own bad news this week. I've got some form of leukemia or lymphoma and am now waiting for my final diagnosis. My heart goes out to all those dealing with this horrible disease. Stay strong, stay positive and stay focussed on getting better. Those were the words of one of my doctors.

Take it in and get it pressure tested. Don't mess around. That lower end is 5 grand.

Your son with the stringer of 'eyes tells it all right there. Nice lil piece of heaven your family has there.

The seagulls down there must be having a field day. It's too bad that a few bad apples paints the rest of anglers the wrong shade. I saw a die off like this at Duffins Creek back in 2000. The dead salmon lined the riverbank and the smell was god awful. It was one of the least pleasureable rounds of golf I've ever played. I hope the CO's nail a few of these guys just to keep them wondering if they will be nailed next.

Good. You around on Sunday?? I might be heading up to Pigeon for our annual tourney. I'm hoping to wet a line depending on how work proceeds at the cottage on Saturday. I'll be hitting the water probably around 10am or so depending on how long it takes me to drag the boat from HH to Bobcaygeon. Also, when you coming to HH for a day?? I'll pm you some potential dates next week.

Holy cow!!!! Those are some beauty 'skis!! I guess bucktails DO work LOL. Those Handlebarz look great and your fishing trip is a testimonial that they catch fish too. NICE!!

I've got a soft sided Flambeau tackle bag that fits musky sized lures and it works great for me. Plenty of storage for leaders, tools, etc....

For northern lakes, you can't beat a chartreuse/orange jighead. Unfortunately, down in Southern Ontario, you can't find them. Most bait shops in the north sell them, they tend to be local made. A worm or a minnnow and you are good to go. A couple of Rapala's, Husky Jerks and Tail Dancers and a spoon or two and you are golden. Good luck and slay the buggers.
