  1. Thanks for the link FloatnFly, if the fella in town can't help me I'll give them a try.

     

     

    i would still contact LG directly as well, I had a problem with my cell phone where it melted while charging, Got a new one from Telus, but I had also contacted Samsung, the regular CS associate passed my case along to the VP in Canada, and after a few emails back and forth and me telling them Telus was going to replace with an upgraded phone, they were willing to fix up my old phone so that I could sell it. I declined the offer, but it was still a fantastic offer, and great customer service, they have a customer for life now.

  2. My moral feelings on this, if it goes on the stringer it goes home with you. you made the decision to keep that fish, you stick to it. especially if you're in a boat, since you'd taking the fish in and out of the water to travel from spot to spot

     

    on a side note, the first steelhead i ever caught on a fly rod, i didn't actually hook the fish, but rather the make shift stringer hanging out of its mouth. the fish came home with me.

  3. I think that you will need pallets like this .

     

     

    its not the shape of the pallet or size, you have to disassemble them, its more the distressed wood look that your after, and since pallets are a little roughed up, it makes them really nice for making rustic furniture

  4. If you're thinking of picking up pallets from any of the places mentioned; make sure you get permission to take them. The one store I share the building with, has had a number of people charged with theft and trespassing, while they were trying to take pallets and other items; that the store owner keeps outside behind the building. The private security company that patrols our area usually catches them midnight shopping.

     

    Dan.

     

    of course, i emailed a couple local places early this morning, just waiting to hear back from them

  5.  

    I worked outside my whole life and always found wool mitts worn inside good leather mitts were warmer than anything else I tried, even when they were wet.

     

    Not much good though if your trying to do any fine work.

     

     

    no. not god for fine work, but even with gloves, you gotta take em off to re tie or re bait. mittens work by using your own body heat, where gloves have to rely on layers

  6. I renewed my 3 year couple weeks ago... Had my new card in less then a week... Then I got ANOTHER card 2 days later...

     

    They sent me 2 cards... Lol

     

    Maybe that's what the extra fee is for... Lol

     

     

    haha, now you can keep one in the boat, and one in your wallet

  7. I'll sum it up this way, new technology rods/reels/sonars are nice to have, but necessary.

     

    i own a handful of spinning rods and reels, and 5 fly rods. my spinning rods are different lengths, ranging from 5.5ft to 9ft, my 5.5ft is used for jigging in a boat, my 6-7'ft rods are used for casting, and my 9ft is for pier casting.

     

    my fly rods, obviously are different weights, i have 2 older fiberglass rods that were my grandfathers, they are a treat to use and land fish on. i have a mid range fly rod in my 6wt, its awesome to cast and handles fish. then i have my 8wt spey rod, obviously for big waters, then theres my high end 8wt. using the latest graphites and resins, its a power house of a rod, the more you lean on it, the better it performs.

     

    that being said, i still enjoy using my dads setup from his child old, which cost him $40 and is still in use today, Zebco Cardinal 4 green body, white spool reel, with a rod that i can't remember the name of, the resin is worn off of most of it, and its clear lol
