  1. Greg, I've heard it said that an SS prop won't make much difference on motors under 100 HP, but I'm no expert and perhaps someone will chime in that knows for sure.
  2. Yer right Art, I should lay off those COKES when we're going warp 7
  3. Something big blew by my window awhile ago Cliff, but I didn't get a good look at it
  4. I bounced my SS off rocks twice on the West Arm of Nippissing last summer and it survived both hits with nothing more than a bit of road rash. I blame the 1st hit on Tybo and the 2nd on Art....that's my story and I'm sticking to it
  5. 3:00 this morning it was +5 and raining 5:00 it was like a blizzard and winds strong enough it sounded like a hurricane. 6:00 it was calm and the stars were visible. Right now it's snowing so hard again I can't see across the road, the winds are howling and the temps have dropped to -6, that's an 11 degree drop in a couple hours. Good day to stay in the house & work on the honey-do list
  6. I'm already booked in for my annual few weeks of fantastic times....can't wait !!
  7. Ya done good with this website TJ, it's always been a fun place to hang out.
  8. If we can keep this discussion civil, perhaps we'll all learn something and not get this thread locked.
  9. One incident that always sticks in my mind was the blockade in Caledonia when the police van was driving through the crowd and a person smashed out the rear window with a bat. The police could be seen in the van but they never even got out, let alone arrest the bat wielder. Can't imagine I'd ever get away with that. I don't pretend to understand all their issues, but blockading highways & rail lines and destroying public properties doesn't seem to me to be a way of getting public support....but that's just my opinion. This is a topic that's important to everyone in this country and it'd be nice to hear the opinions of those that actually understand the issues without this thread going down the drain and getting locked up like usual.
  10. Very sad.
  11. Awesome Mike, great to see you still hitting the soft water out your way.
  12. Yeah, that's a very impressive pike for sure, well done !!
  13. I don't know much about this stuff, but FWIW, I'm using Windows 7 with Google Chrome and my zoom is set at 100 % and my spacing is perfect with no scrolling or anything else required.
  14. Outstanding Roy, nice job !!
  15. Very nice Skip, looks like a nice place. If it's allowed in that location and if you'd like a bit more room, it doesn't take much to add an addition like a Florida room to those trailers. I had a couple trailers that I built additions to on a permanent site in the Kawarthas for 36 years and really enjoyed them.
  16. Hey TJ, hope you've still got the video of Peter winning the pike tourney with the Jumbla. That was definetly a classic
  17. Rod socks are cheap and are excellent for protecting your fishing rods.
  18. I'm not a drinker, but a bacon samich would be nice Roy assures us there's a fix in the works.
  19. My grandfather was a sniper with the British Army in the trenches of France during WW1 and it was the old LeeEnfields he used also. Said it was a heavy gun but deadly accurate.
  20. Back when my brother & I were 11 & 12 years old, (1957) my dad decided we were old enough to join him on his annual week long deer hunt. He called the school to tell them we'd be off for the week and of course they objected, but Dad told them there's lots more to learning than what you get from a classroom. The pricipal said he couldn't really disagree with that and told us to take the week off & enjoy ourselves. When we went back to school a week later, Dad sent the pricipal a large venison roast and he never again objected to us taking time off school.
  21. Damn, I HATE thieves !! And sadly, when and if their caught, they'll probably get off with nothing more than a slap on the wrist. Hope it all works out for you.
  22. Fantastic Ernie, 22 years of freedom for me.
  23. I'm OK here, but good on ya for the concern.
  24. There's a house trailer for sale on a site on Pigeon Lake listed in the OFC classified section.

    Yeah, your right fireball, thanks. As I said above, it wasn't a big deal, I was just curious.
