    I'm so glad that I posted my feelings in this thread. So many of us are in the same boat as I am. The heart felt replies actually have helped me feel better. Thank you People! Who would have thought that a fishing forum could produce so many kind friends. Dan.

    Ok. I'm a bit of a history buff and hearing the stories my dad has told me; about the occupation of Belgium; during WW2. This pandemic sounds very familiar. Where people for minimal reasons call officials on their neighbors. Sad that people think that they're doing the right thing by calling the "officials" for/on people for things that are not harming anyone. I think these type of things are going to continue; until were afraid to do anything without being prosecuted??? Dan.

    Since all this virus crap has started I haven’t been able to see most of my family. April 2nd my daughter had a baby girl; I’ve only have seen her on face time or in pictures My son’s daughter Lila (2years old going on 10) that we love playing together. Again only on face time. My brother that has cancer and his immunity is shot from all his treatments that I cannot go see. Here’s a pic of his first ever musky. Two years ago on St.Clair. Then there’s my favourite little (285 pound) nephew that loves ice fishing. That his son has cancer that we don’t want to take a chance of being a virus carrier. There are 30 plus more of family members that I also miss not being with; but I’ve bored you people enough; but it feels better opening up as to how much I’ve taken them for granite After we all get though this crap; I know I’ll appreciate our time together even more Dan.

    The short answer is as long as you have too. Going over by 3 or 4 thousand every once and a while won't hurt anything. Check the oil level, making sure it's full and you'll be fine. Worst case, if the oil starts to look really dirty; head to a lube shop and get the oil changed. Just tell them you only want an oil & filter change and to screw off with all the up selling. Dan.

    Before you go and buy these AGM batteries, check that your on-board charger has the technology to properly charge an AGM battery. AGM batteries do not like being charged at much more then 2 amps. That's mostly due to the heat that's generated during the charging process; these batteries cannot handle the relatively high internal temps of higher charging rates. A proper AGM charger has the technology to closely monitor the battery temp. It does this by using the voltage and amperage applied to the battery to calculate the temp and then adjust the charge rate. When the battery(s) are fully charged the charger will go into a float mode; as to keep the battery fully charged and not too over charge. Dan.

    Just got this vid from a friend that has lived in Taiwan and still has friends there. So even brand new masks may not be a clean as you may think? Dan. IMG_0249.MP4

    Lets not forget our elderly and not just our family members; but the seniors in our neighborhoods. Check on them to see if they're OK; in need of supplies or errands too be done. Today my wife is off from work; (They started rotating days at the service department of the car dealership; where she is a service adviser) she called the people we new in our neighborhood that might like some help. At the same time she asked them if they knew of anyone that might be in need of something. Only got three people take her up on her offer; most said that they were OK. She did a grocery shop for a couple of homes and one stop at the service Ontario to get a license plate sticker for our next door neighbor, Why this 80 year old man wanted his sticker I don't know? The car hasn't moved for the last two months; but he was upset that his plate had expired. LOL She dropped the groceries off outside at their door and they had the cash or a cheque in their mail box for her. Yes she wiped all of the containers, boxes and bags down with an antiseptic cloth before leaving the stash at the homes. I was proud of her for making the effort; one she plans to continue doing.

    I still have my garage open and I feel guilty at times; but believe me, it's not for the money. I just had to injected 20 grand into the place, to pay my bills and my two employees. We are not taking in any routine maintenance jobs; only breakdowns or things that will cause a breakdown. We also do work for the OPP, RCMP, CFIA and a few other first responder agencies. So that's how I've been justifying being open. The biggest thing I do regret by being open to the public, is I cannot go see my 2 year old granddaughter; my sons girl. Plus my daughter just last night, gave birth to a healthy baby girl; don't know when I'll be able to hold my new granddaughter? The second piss off for me; the walleye charter I had booked for mid April; out of St Clair, to fish the Detroit River has been canceled!!! Dan.

    It doesn't look like a bad idea; but i know of a number of marinas that would have a hemorrhage, if they caught you power loading your boat. Dan.

    That works but a pain to remember; at least for me. Get a box of exam gloves. Yeah I know medical gloves are scares; but mechanic’s (Latex/rubber or whatever they are) gloves are still available. My one supplier shows over a 100 boxes of gloves in stock. 100 gloves per box for around 15 bucks; that’s only 30 cents a pair. Use them and pitch them. Most of the brands are 5 mil. thick so they do not tare easily. I put a box in my truck; go into a store, I’m warring a pair. Dan.

    LOL She was gone before I noticed. Since this virus thing has started, I've been giving the washroom a wipe down with bleach; after I know that it was used. When in saw what she had done; I called the guys over, so we all could have a laugh at how dumb this was. LOL Dan.

    People are doing some crazy stuff, during this "crises". Had a customer steal two rolls of toilet paper and a bottle of hand sanitizer, out of the customer's washroom? Hope her fingers poke through when she wipes her ass. LOL Dan.
