Thanks Bob, this installation was done by one of the largest propane companies in the area so I would imagine it's done to code.

Our kitchen stove runs off propane that is in a tank outside the house. The line comes through the wall and hooks into the stove. The silver flex hose from the stove is on your left and the copper on the right is the supply line from the outside tank. Does anyone know FOR SURE if a compression fitting is used where the supply line connects to the stove, or is it something else ??

Huh ????....what'd I miss

We had new porcelain tile installed in one of the bathrooms last week and we're doing the kitchen & dining room floors next week. Is that romantic enough of a gift ??

Charles nailed it !! Nobody ever said these shows are always gonna save you big $$$$ on gear, but you may find some deals. I know I saved ALOT of money when I purchased my boat there a couple years back, but even if you don't find the bargains it's still a great way to spend a day. Just don't go looking for a bottle of water if your thirsty cause they charge STUPID prices for those.

Ain't that the truth

Sounds like your Dad was a pretty wonderful guy who must have loved you alot the way he was so involved with everything you liked. Talk about him often and think about him always, and you'll have those great memories with you forever.

Really terrible news and so very sad. Condolances to his family.

Maybe I'm the only one, but when I start to read a post and see the pictures all messed up to hide stuff I just close the post and move on to other things. Just my opinion though.

Heard on the Peterboro news earlier today that a pick-up went thru the ice on Chemong up near Curve Lake last night but it sounds like they got out OK.

The big 7000 series Abu's are good for cranking hard pulling baits like Double 10's and larger, burning baits fast and taking up line quick for jerk baits. I've never tried the 7000i Darren but I use a 7000 for the above applications and it works very well although their not the smoothest reels around, but for the money their good. Their big reels with a large power handle but don't take much to getting used to and you'll be happy you bought it.

Best of luck to you Richard.

Whatever's causing this weather, I like it. I was out in the driveway this afternoon and was actually standing in mud, and that's lots better than snow & ice

If anybody is thinking of buying a new troll motor in order to get a longer shaft, it's possible to have the shaft on your present motor extended and it's much cheaper than buying an entire motor. I had a cable steer Motor Guide on my last boat but it was too short for my liking so I took it into Aikmens and he extended it by 12" and charged me $200 and the motor was excellent after that. That was about 12 years ago so I have no idea if they still do it but it's an option that can save a fair bit of money.

My Fortrex is 62" Rob and I've never had any issues with it.

Check out some of the local farms in the area where your looking for storage Dann, I see lots around this area with outdoor spaces for rent.

Thanks Ben, I needed that

I'm with Bill on the Solomons. I've been wearing the same pair for probably 12 years now and their still in great shape and the Gore-tex lining is excellent for keeping my feet dry. I payed $185 for them 12 years ago but it was more than worth it. Lotsa guys seem to like the Merrells but I'd be suspect about their quality anymore as Craig mentioned. I payed $115 for Merrel sandals 2 years ago and when I got them home I noticed they'd missed 1/2 the stitches when they were making them. I took them right back to the store for another pair and after only 2 weeks of wear most of the stitching was either fraying or just pulling straight out. Had to make yet another trip into town to get my $$$$ back. Last pair of anything I'll ever buy with the Merrell name on them.

I replaced all the T-12 fixtures in my garage with 20 new 4' T-8's Skip and never experienced the pink glow your talking about. The ballasts in the old fixtures were buzzing so loud I kept the lights turned off unless really needed but now the peace & quietness of the new electronic ballasts darned near puts me to sleep.

Big chunky fish Dave, well done !!

Yeah, I'm just plain mean Dax

We all post when we have lousy service somewhere Cliff, whether fishing related or not, and I think it's good to give a thumbs up to those places that treat their customers well.

My wife and I go out for dinner every Friday night and try to hit a different place every week. Last night we decided on Montanas down in Peterboro as we've been there before and the place is really nice with good food. Last night I ordered the BBQ chicken and my wife ordered a steak. About 10 minutes after placing the order, the manager came over to me and said there'd been some sorta mix-up in the kitchen and the chickens wouldn't be ready for quite awhile. He was really apologetic and seemed genuinely sorry for what happened and would I like to order something else. I'm a pretty easy going guy and understand that things happen sometimes and told him not to worry about and just bring me a steak instead. The food arrived shortly afterwards and was a good as I'd remembered. After we finished supper they brought the bill and when I looked at it I saw where they hadn't charged me for my steak. I asked the waitress why and she said they were very sorry I couldn't have the chicken I wanted and my steak was on the house. That's great customer service in my books.

I put one in my boat last year Paul strictly as a safety measure and if I never need it, it's still nice to know it's there. It can get pretty lonely up on the West Arm sometimes as you well know. It may help me, or I may be able to help someone else who has a problem so it's a win win.

Not sure what a fishermans top is Pete, but if it doesn't come with clear side curtains your family would definetely appreciate them if a sudden rain or cold winds showed up un-expectedly. Bit of extra loot up front but certainly worth it when the weather goes nasty.....specially for the kids.
