LOL! The farmer behind me used to lease land to farm all around my area, one spot was right across the road. I could get up in the morning and see 20 - 30 deer grazing in the field after the harvest, sometimes they appeared again towards evening, homes there now and the deer scattered.

Great pics! looks like a quieter group than my former in laws!

In the year 2525? I need a robot to send out fishing for me, it's too much work!

Sorry for your loss.

I don't know how much weight difference there was between the 4 and 6 cylinder models, or how they compensated for it? Front brakes provide most of your stopping power, putting more than the recommended weight on the rear by towing could detract from that. http://knowhow.napaonline.com/front-brakes-vs-rear-brakes-whats-the-difference/

LOL Dave, fish with it, sell it, collect reels, or give it to the wife - girlfriend instead of a small appliance for Christmas? That could earn you more fishing time? Alone? Retrieve was like 4:75 to 1? Slow by today's standards? Probably wouldn't hold up using braided lines of today and not a good reel for species like Salmon or big Trout that make long fast runs? They handle light mono line better than the Abu reels of their day, 10# test would get between the spool and the frame on Abu casting reels, never had that happen with a Shimano baitcaster. On Lake Erie fishing for Smallies or Walleye with lots of open water to play fish you didn't need more than 10# test. My Abu 5001 lefties were slow retrieve, unlike other Abu reels of the day, righties, I never saw high speed gears available for them, Smallies on Erie could outrun them coming up. Mine cast well, a small light reel and comfortable to use all day, LOL what can you get these days for 60 - 70bucks? Shimano made a Curado for a time with a 3.8 to 1 retrieve? a crankbait reel? Slow rolling spinnerbaits? That reel isn't much faster?

Just my grasp of the whole deal, and I could be wrong! Earth has a series of moving plates, movement is not steady or or easy, stress builds in places. A rapid release of stress, movement causes earthquakes? If the plates move, and the GPS satellites don't? A change in GPS location results? Simcoe freezing later? More people? more hot air! Global warming!

No purple haze?

I think a lot of manufacturers will sell direct to the public. Berkley has a site http://www.ffo-tackle.com/ffo-reels/ Lurenet also http://www.lurenet.com/lures/crankbaits

You're right dave, http://www.shimanousa.com/content/Corporate/english/index/portal-site/history1.html, according to this their reels weren't introduced to the American market until 1978. http://best-spinningreels.com/shimano-reels-history/ I had a number of the original 100 reels, they all went when I found the Bantam MagPlus 251SG, left hand retrieve reels.

Shimano is also big into bicycle gearing.

Just something to consider, 5 to 1 on that reel is almost like 7 to 1 on a Shimano Curado? http://fish.shimano.com/content/sac-fish/en/home/products/fishing-reels/spinning/nasci.html http://fish.shimano.com/content/sac-fish/en/home/products/fishing-reels/baitcast/curado.html 29 inches of line per handle turn compared to 30?

65 and rain today here, deer would need goulashes!

Since it is almost impossible for me to get out of the house now I have dealt with a number of on line retailers, Amazon, Jet, Wal Mart, Best Buy, no issues with any of them. Since my dog seems to be allergic to most things I even order his food and treats online because no place around here seems to carry stuff he can eat.

Great pictures! I used to see the area herd in the field across the road from me, then they built homes there and the herd moved.

Have a great safe Christmas season!

If it's any help Raf. http://www.elmirastoveworks.com/woodstove-parts/ They don't seem to make wood burners anymore but have some parts? ??? Maybe a weld? http://www.lincolnelectric.com/en-us/support/welding-how-to/Pages/welding-cast-iron-detail.aspx I see what looks like a weld with a small gap on either side in your picture? The crack extends to the gap? Cast iron is brittle and prone to cracking?

Don't know if it's normal to have an item listed in two places with different locations listed?

LOL

My first Astro van had a block heater on it, it was great! My heater would be blowing warm air before I got to the corner of my road. All the diesel trucks at work had them, you could usually tell who forgot to plug their trucks in at night, they would have to go to the shop to get a mechanic for help starting them in real cold weather.

My son worked at a radio shop here and around this time of year remote starters were big sellers for them. He says ultra start is a good brand vipers are cheap. Your best bet is to go to a place that does car audio and electronics.Best Buy is overpriced and dealerships just have a third party installer do it anyways. http://www.ultrastarters.com/dealer_locator.htm

LOL, true John, your province dwarfs most of our states, something I keep forgetting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Scugog Not a very deep lake for up north? Some dredging may help?

Parts of the northeastern Ohio snow belt here got 30+ inches of snow, I haven't had more than an inch or two. I pay a guy with a snow plow on his truck or a farmer with one on his tractor, it's worth 20-30 bucks to me, not like I could do it anyway.

Not a muskie fisherman by any means, but I see bass videos from California and they are using Shimano 400 size Calcuttas for bass there. A 300 size reel might be considered a bit smaller for regular muskie use?
