Old Ironmaker

I just wonder how Trump is going to make America great again. Last night he promised to solve inner city crime immediately. Not one how. I can't imagine what a great America looks like when this buffoon gets in. His mugging for the camera last night every time someone clapped for him was uncomfortable. Sticking out his chin like Mussolini. His picture should be in Wikipedia as an example of Megalomaniac. Just this minute I watched an add from the Clinton camp that has a few children watching the Presidential candidate make a complete arse of himself speaking, I mean babbling. Now watch me pull a Rabbit out of my hass!

I don't know how I missed this fantastic read and pics. It sure sounds like you guys had a blast with the good weather and looking out the window because of bad weather hurts badly when you only have a week. Been there before, it hurts. Your passion came through in your writing. Thanks James.

I see less corn planted out here this year. And yes, more winter wheat. Some beans are just dismal with this lack of rain.

When in the Falls we always try and hit Mick & Angelos. What's the name of the stone oven Pizzaria at the top of Lundy's Lane. The best Pizza outside of Italy I swear. We used to go to The Egg and I on Hwy 20 (Centennial Pkwy). I need to get out more. The old Blast Furnace crews hit the Egg and I the 1st Monday of every month on upper James at 09:00. I know retired Steel Workers are cheap so it must have great value. I haven't been for years. I'm sure they miss me !!!!

Try some marine adhesive like 3M 5200. Better than any super glue. Maybe try 4800 first because once 5200 is applied it will never, ever come off.

I am lazy and wouldn't know a bad update if I saw it so I have them update automatically. I know it's bad but like I said I wouldn't know what and what not to update so I TRUST them, bad Johnny. I bought a first Gen touch screen tablet when 8 was out a week. I didn't need a PC for 10 years. No problem with Windows 9 and 10 gives me problems, silly irritating problems with widows opening that I can't get rid of without selecting them. I grew up with Windows 95' and before that Word Perfect 5.1 for DOS and Pong. I wish I still had XP, the best Micro Soft ever had. My Dr's office still uses XP Professional.

How did you find that? I'm surprised it wasn't set up, I still have my doubts. Glad it worked out for him.

I'm thinking a set up too. But what duffus would lose a good running motor to get You Tube likes? A good way to ruin a beautiful day? Book a Dental appointment for 1:30, off to pay for pain. What was I thinking 6 months ago?

I think this might be set up. If not ooops!

And away we go!

An entire new Toon or a valve? I hope it's a Toon, if it is when I have a problem I'll ask you to deal with them. It took me 6 months to get a replacement for my HP laptop under warranty.

I was going to recommend cottages the boys and I stayed at on Clear Lake, quick access to great fishing too. Now I find out they sold it and someone built a mansion there, sad to see.

Some ofmy very best times were when I did it solo, fishing, vacations. It's nice to share great times with loved ones and those you care deeply about but sometimes you just need to get away on your own and clear the noggin'. Nick, how do you clean the Cats? Maybe you can share, I have seen a few different ways. Many won't eat Catfish and I don't know why. 25 years ago it was going for 10 bucks a pound in Fla. In the southern mid west that is the only fish they serve.

If you need a new frying pan or vacuum cleaner go to Crappola Tyre. For paint go to a paint dealer that sells automotive paint. Etching primer is a must for a good solid job that won't peel and make a bigger job down the line. I and the back yard autobody guy didn't know my wife's Nissan Altima's hood was all aluminum. He didn't use the correct materials. The paint started peeling after a few months. It cost me extra goof tax because it had to be sanded down to the bare aluminum to be painted with the correct materials including an etching primer. Good luck.

Ryan I have seen your stuff and you have serious talent. I know for one that you will be successful in anything you choose to do. I like the concept of branching out because if you become an expert in only one facet of any business it may close off opportunities in others.

You too Terry. It sucks this getting old bull poo. Guess what? Apparently it does not get any better. Now I know what that rye smile on the older guys when we would have a chin up contest in the middle of nightshift at the plant. Wait until you get my age. The Feds don't pay you every month for nuthin'. It's to alleviate the pain a bit.

I know they aren't the same but look similar. I was wondering how you can tell the difference by looking at them before they are cleaned. I know a fresh curled up yellow when it's on my plate without tasting it.

Wonderful report and pics, thanks.

OK I get that Chris, White Perch, sneaky buggers. White Perch or Silver Bass, which I like from water to pan. I can't tell the difference between White Perch and Silvers looking at them. Can you Speil? When Hydro was open we would fill the boat with Silvers. They are getting too many here trolling for Pics. They can make a mess as they won't trip a Dipsy and don't pull hard enough to trip the rigger. They will run across all the lines. 1 trip was exactly 10 minutes when 1 did exactly that and the floor of the boat was one huge carbuncklement of 4 lines 2 being garbage Leadcore after that fiasco.

Saw them do one on Boat TV this spring and it looked simple with the right tools. They make everything look simple though. I've gone to the dump with the boat and trailer to get a gross weight, then back with the trailer only. I've done it at a local quarry too, they charged me 10 bucks the second time. Charlie Wray showed how to get the tongue weight on his show. Used a simple bathroom scale under the tongue wheel.

Brian don't email them send a hard copy letter registered mail. And call customer service and get them to give a reference file # from them. E mail complaints have a tendency to find the delete button, I know that from experience, if a customer is serious they will call and wait the 25 minutes or more to hear from a human being. Put in a few, "I love the product", "it is the best I have had", "I hope we can resolve this because I want to continue to recommend your companies Pontoons". Is there a warranty on it? If it has expired I might not even bother, just get it repaired and call it a day because that will be a long uphill battle. I might check the internet forums and research as to whether this is an ongoing problem with this companies valves. look at iboats.com pontoon and inflatable forum. I'm a member there, great boating forum. Sometimes they will extend warranties for a known defect. Probably just send a valve in that case and have you cover the labour. What is the name of the company and model. I might have some time tomorrow to research for you as I know you are busy working or fishing. I blew my knee out Thursday so I won't be going too far for another few days. Add the exact model number in the letter and find the receipt. Tell them this is your second purchase of the same company. Does a cracked valve definitively cause a leak? Good luck Sir and be like a Pit Bull with a bone, only a polite Pit Bull.

Hey Brother, I can't believe Knecktals that own that place and a few others in Dover would try and pass of something other than Perch off as Perch. Maybe tourists may not know the difference but come on man. Come to think of it about 10 years ago they tried to tell me the Campbell's soup in my bowl was home made chowder. I told the manager who I knew from Golf if I went in the kitchen and found a bag in a box of Campbell's or Sysco soup he owed me a 100 bucks. He commpted our dinner. I hope you said something.

I missed 7 years of law school so I'll bow out. Ranger I hope you the best and hope you have the strength to see this through. In my 40 years of building places and doing renos for my family, freinds and myself as well as being in business after I took my pension I thought I have seen it all, I guess not. Good luck Man.

You can't swing a cat without finding great food in Halifax, Dartmouth, sis-in-law lived in Mt. Uniak. Love the place. I lived in Hamilton for 45 years and don't recognize any of the places you mention. I have never finished all my food at The Burger Barn, it's nuts, I forgot about the Burger Barn on 4th line west off HWY 6 south. Port Dover really hasn't changed much since we went to Bucks cottages in the early 60's. Same building different names. They are still there and for sale for something like 3 or 4 million!!! I miss the bumper cars and the smell of ozone though.

No, get the 2 door Challenger Hemi. Put studded tires on, no problem.
