  1. Problem solved, I was able to get in touch with the wheel company the rings will be included with the wheels.
  2. Bolt pattern & offset are important but with aftermarket wheels that have a center bore larger than the wheel hub a hub ring can prevent the wheels from wobbling but with only 2 mm difference I don't know if I need to worry about that. I always torque wheels to spec but just want to be safe, specially with it being my daughters car.
  3. Morning boys, I'm getting my daughter a new set of alloy wheels & winter tires and the wheels have a center bore of 56.1 mm and the car hub is 54.1 mm and I'm having trouble finding rings that size. Any body KNOW FOR SURE if I need rings for only 2 mm difference ?
  4. We always stay in cabin 5 and the shower is tiny and when we were up in June they said they were hoping to get a bigger shower installed later this year. Your right, they do seem like good people.
  5. Good to hear you enjoyed Mashkinonje and got into a few fish as well. We're heading back up next Saturday for another week.
  6. Retired 22 years for me and never looked back. And your right about no talking about work, pretty well all of my friends are retired and none of us ever talk about the jobs we worked at....those days are long passed.
  7. They can get feisty when you stick hooks in them too
  8. Great story LOL
  9. As the proverbial crow flies I'm about 50 miles north west of CFB Trenton where they fly C-130 planes among others. I must be on one of their flight paths as the come over my house several times a week and sometimes unbelievably low. Just 2 weeks ago a pair of them came over so low I felt I could almost touch them. Over the years I've got some great pictures of them. I was working in the yard this morning and could hear one circling close by but couldn't see him for the trees but got my camera just in case. Sure enough he turned my way and came directly over head and again was very low. Tough to find them in a small view finder but I got a decent picture anyways. Don't know about anyone else but I love seeing this sorta stuff. Here's a couple more from other years
  10. Been crazy times for a lot of folks for sure Brian, there's a house trailer dealer just up the road from me at Burleigh Falls who normally has a huge inventory but now there's only a couple on the lot. As for the eye opener, I just had a cataract removed this past Monday and that was a pretty darned good eye opener too LOL
  11. The smile on the little guys face tells the whole story. Congrats to the pair of you.
  12. I had a custom cover for my 150 HP Yamaha that fit like a glove and also had a cinch strap that snugged it right down and there was no movement at all and after 8 years the paint on my motor was still like brand new. I would imagine cheap generic covers would/could cause issues though.
  13. Congratulations Dan, but I'll bet you'll be missed by all those customers who knew you were an honest guy to work on their cars. You should really enjoy retirement though as that's the goal we all work toward. Just be sure to keep yourself busy with whatever you enjoy doing and never get in a rut of staring at the idiot box. As I've always said, once your retired every day is Saturday morning.
  14. I've caught a ton of Pigeon Lake muskies over the years and when casting always did well with brightly colored bucktails in the north end and big spinnerbaits in the shallower southern half of the lake.
  15. May be tough for you to get the answer your looking for, this thread is 11 years old.
  16. We had a trailer in a small park south of Burleigh Falls for 36 years and enjoyed every minute of it Cliff.
  17. Good to hear from you Cliff, it's been awhile.
  18. I've had it on my last 3 F150's and I have no clue how it even works LOL As said above, if you need it you shouldn't be pulling trailers.
  19. We got clobbered by another vicious storm yesterday which was probably worse than the one last week. Nothing like what Barrie went thru of course but that's ...I think...the 4th bad storm in a couple weeks. My wife cooked up a beautiful roast beef dinner and while I was slicing it the thunder started rolling and as we sat down at the table on the back deck there was probably the loudest bang I've ever heard as the lightening flashed overhead, the wind started howling and within seconds the food was getting saturated as we tried to get everything back in the house. Woke up this morning and there's 2 large trees down nearby plus smaller ones on the ground everywhere. Crazy thing though as it was beautiful here all day and even when the storm hit the sky didn't look that bad. It was all good though as the roast beef dinner was fantastic even though a bit wet LOL
  20. Kids, dogs & cooking over a fire...fish'n trips don't get any better than that !! Good to hear the new boat is working out for you too.
  21. I hear you there Brian, my sump normally only runs in March & April during the snow melt and never comes on any other time but it's come on 3 times now in the last couple of weeks with the crazy weather and intense rain we've been getting. This pic is yesterday's rain and you can hardly see the back of my property.
  22. Everything OK where you are Brian ?
  23. The news is just reporting now that Barrie got clobbered by a tornado and the videos show a lot of damage.
  24. I'm dead center on the line between Peterboro and Apsley and can hear lotsa thunder but it's north of us....so far. Got some wind happening and light rain but I think we'll be OK here.
  25. Your deck looks real good and sometimes it's worth it to bite the bullet and do what we want rather than wait for a price drop that may never come.
