I feel very old some days knowing that I'm one of the few remaining humans who actually watched the Leaf's win the Stanley Cup so many years ago.  LOL

Pretty sure the fella that owns the camp can give you a mini test so your legally licensed to operate his boats while your there....but I may be wrong.

Some serious horsepower there for sure.

Maybe there might be a fall Lakair visit if things go well.

 

 

I sure do miss that place.

Pike aren't fussy, they'll hit anything that moves, even baits as big as themselves  LOL

Real nice set-up & you'll love that Yamaha.

Fun times ahead !!

*edit to add*  PS, I can drift it on turns too...  HAHA

Be careful out there Geoff, a lady I know was killed a month ago riding her motorcycle when she hit a pickup while going around a curve.

Best of luck Glen, hopefully just a mild case.

If they catch the punk(s) that ruined those boats he (they) should be forced to replace every single one with new ones but with the way our justice system works nothing other than the old wrist slap will be dealt them.

Really sad that we have to share this world with the type of scum that would intentionally ruin someone's property for no reason.

now you are just making me feel bad for my passengers in my single console bass boat 🤣

For years my brother always had a 14' tinny & then 20 odd years ago I bought a Crestliner with a side console.  He used to fish with me all the time and one cold rainy day down at Quinte we were running down the lake and I was warm & dry behind the windshield while he looked like a drowned duck. He looked over at me and asked "why the heck didn't you buy a boat with a windshield for me too and I said "because you didn't offer to pay for 1/2 the new boat"

He didn't laff but I thought it was hilarious  LOL 😁

Pretty scary when you know someone is looking at your place and thinking of actually stealing wood.

I needed 107 pieces, mostly  12' long and they were $22 each so I spose that's pretty enticing to some people although a big pile of wood isn't exactly easy to run off with.

Glen, I hear you on having guests over, it's been far too long for sure.

Norm, great deal on having the cost of the ramp covered and it looks great too.

LostAnotherOne, the price of lumber has gone thru the roof but sometimes we just have to bite the proverbial bullet and get on with it  LOL

We've got a deck that runs the full 50' across the back of the house and although the frame is still in excellent condition the floor was showing it's age so I decided it was time to spruce it up. I pulled all the old boards off and replaced them all with new pressure treated and it turned out really nice. I'll leave it alone for the summer then seal it all.

The brown pressure treated boards look much nicer then the green ones we used to get.

Biggest job now is cutting up all the old boards & hauling them to the dump.

Awesome job Shane, your good for another 28 years !!

 Grabbed the ring with needle nose pliers and spread with a small flat screwdriver.

Even on large musky baits a screwdriver was all I ever used.

Seeing as this post is 14 years old the OP probably doesn't require the info anymore  LOL

I think Ford said yesterday there wouldn't be any further changed to the current restrictions and everything stays as is for now.

 If you don't already have a torque wrench; I'd suggest getting one.

Yes I do have a torque wrench Dan and use it all the time but thanks for the suggestion anyways..

are you concerned with rough roads/potholes? Great looking rims, but I’d fear breakage with moderate exposure to the rough stuff. I could be wrong

I live on a dirt road but that's as much "off roading" as I ever do but I certainly hear where your coming from & thanks for your concern..

Thanks for the photoshop WB, that's exactly what I was looking for, it's just to give me an idea, which it does.

And Brian, it's a FORD so it doesn't need nitros to make it a rocket  LOL

Don't know how but I hope they come in a size that will fit your truck, lol.  Look nice for sure. I found this, maybe helps. https://www.google.com/search?source=univ&tbm=isch&q=milanni+rims+on+a+ford+truck&client=firefox-b-d&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjaw8bKrKvwAhWFB80KHUJwDLIQjJkEegQIBRAB&biw=1033&bih=853

Thanks for that link Bud and yes, I can definitely get them in my size.

Would someone be able to photoshop this wheel onto my truck please ?

I have no clue LOL

Sounds like we're both having a good day Steve 

I won't go into any details but a company I've been involved with decided to merge with another company and there would be some surplus funds that would be split evenly with some of us. It was estimated we'd receive about $2600 each so it was rather nice this morning to receive word that rather than $2600 it was gonna be nearly $37,000.

As mentioned above, it's a nice way to start my day  🙂
