Well I checked my PM and it lookslike Roy stopped her before she got to # 21 guess I am out of luck.... Art

Once you have been faced with a natural disaster of this magnitude you then can comment until then you post is considered as arrogant and offensive. To judge a whole nation because of the actions of a few that the news media has reported is not correct. If I dissected all of what I read and draw inferences from select stories I am sure I can make Canada seem like a nation of bad people or a nation of Saints depending on what stories I highlight. Since I took the time to meet the people of Canada and see the culture and tour the beauty of your country I can say nothing but good things about what you have. As far as the existence of New Orleans it is at the mouth of the Mississippi Delta and is one of the most important shipping routes here in the USA. It provides cheap access for the northern parts to get raw material used in the building of cars, steel etc.. I would ask for Timmeh post to be pulled but I would rather people read it and see it for what it is and weigh his future comments with it in mind. I would also like for people to note the apology that he has offered later in this thread and use that instead, to weigh that he is a good guy who types to fast sometimes like we all do..... Thanks Timmeh Art

Something you might try if you want to start your own library of what you want to remember you can either post to the thread and use a key word or phrase like "what a great idea or Wish I had thought of it" and then use the search feature for the key word. You will end up with your own private library. Art

Nice looking tool I could see that as being handy thanks for the link Rick. I wonder if they would come on board and have a OFC Special buy??? I will wait a few weeks to see if you can arrange it for us. Art

Usually the insurance companies will cover the damage that is caused by the act or the damage to repair the issue but the actual incident is not covered. The damage to a fence or lawn is covered and the rental of the equiptment is too but the actual removal or repair is not. I have done water line repairs were the insurance company will pay for everything except the part and the time of the actual repair to a water line. So the owner was out 15 min and 5.00 worth of parts. go figure..... of course this is the rulling here in the USA and may have no relevents in Canada. Art

You all taught Glen what an icehole was so why not an icehouse..... Great work Bernie glad to see you are not roaming the streets getting in trouble. The roof looks great and now that it is weather proof again you can take your time finishing up the interior. Art

You have my deepest condolences Glen it seems they have shot one of your long lost kids...... Art

i can just picture you running around the yard squeeking like Nancy Caragan...... Not a nice bug to find though. Art

Most of the time when I am fishing a shore line and a dock is their I will fish it if no one is around. If someone is around I will wish them a good morning and give the dock a wide berth so they can enjoy their morning coffee or just the view. Some chat while I am motoring by and even offer me a chance to fish it. If their is someone in the water same rules except no fishing. I have a boat that is in a marina and it has lots of structure and lots of fisherman come in and cast for the fish when I am sitting on the boat. I don't mind the fishing but the sound of your lures hitting boats including mine really pisses me off. I have found dings in the paint from fisherman who have such poor skills at casting that they should be banned from the marina. So if you decide to fish a dock please respect the boats some of them are worth over 500,000.oo and if you do we all might be able to smile and wave at each other and mean it. Art

I am pretty sure we made Roy an honorary Cajun Last year. He does have the right blood line he just decided not to migrate south with the rest of his clan. Art

Happy birthday to both of you. I hope you get what you want on this day. Art

Is that why we are called A plumb a and DA plumb a Art

oooo you poor lost souls...... using such a fine dish as crawfish for fish bait. The Southern Contingency

Well dawg the okra was only the first batch of many served that evening. The orange color they turned was from the spices we boil with. We add beer, vinegar, garlic cloves, Zaterians crawfish boil, salt, red pepper, and lemons. To Eat them you first tear the front of the shell from the meaty tail section. Then take the head and give it a quick suck to get a burst of flavor and the fat "mustard" from their. Then pinch the base of the tail to free the meat and then peel the shell like a shrimp. You end up with a piece of meat about the size of your pinky from the knuckle to the tip. Repeat as often as you can till they are all eaten washing it down with your favorite brown pop. TSC

O.K. it appears that up North you all don't know what to do with crawfish when you catch em. Her's a few pictures that will clear it up for you. First of all you have to rent yourself one official hound dog to lay on the front porch. Next you set up the okra frying station Then you hire an ugly cook Heres the fried okra ready to eat now the important part THE CRAWFISH Heres the plate loaded with Crawfish, onions, potatoes, celery, and garlic cloves all boiled in some spicy crawfish boil Now the most important ingredient add a group of your best friends, turn on some zydeco and some ice cold beer and enjoy the food.

Use the power of the ohm to trace the circuits. I doubt you will find someone with the answer on paper unless they have done the same conversion. I read Forrest answer and it seems to be the correct one for this problem. You can search for how to use an ohm meter from google or the meters paperwork should give you a basic idea. Art

The main reason that you see allot of the big 3's as work trucks is they give big buy discounts for repeat/fleet vehicle purchases. It's also easier for the big companies that have in house repair service to stock the parts for the same brand of vehicles. While I am sure that some of their commercials were trying to show their trucks with commercial possibilities the market for work trucks was never the aim of Nissan or Toyota both of them are set up for aggressive driving and towing. If you look around you will also find some of the Datsun pickup trucks which is what they were badged as before they became Nissans almost 30 years ago. I have no problems with buying products from the country you live in it makes sense when it is possible. I don't feel that buying from over seas is a bad thing either. If you had to chose from a bad local serviceman or a good one that was outside of your township which would you call? Do you only buy from the small shops even if the price or quality is less than the big store? I feel that weighing all of the factors is very important in making a decision when it is YOUR money you are spending when you want the most for your money. If I had a fleet of trucks it most likely would be Fords but since it is just my vehicle that I have to maintain I drive a Sprinter Van which is made by Mercedes while more expensive than the fords outright it has had a much lower cost per mile than any of the Big three I have owned in the past. Yes the sprinter is now a GM product but it has non of the technology associated with GM company. Art

To think I was going to claim that I taught Monique every think she knows about Fishin..... A what the hay I am still proud of my favorite student. I see if I can get you to catch a little bigger Pike next year at Lak Air. Art

The one on the nissan says" How can we earn your business" Art

You can buy what you want just get the vehicle that does the job you ask it too. If the majority of the time you are driving it to work alone then get a commuter car. If you tow alot then get a truck. If you have the money get both then you wont have to worry about spending to much for gas or burning out the drivetrain of ANY brand of vehicle. I have owned them all and currenly I tow with a Titian. Work out of a Freightliner, commute in the winter in a Ford Escape and commute in the summer with a soon to be delivered Mini Cooper. Car are like tools use the right one for the job at hand. Art

Drop the Senco into an aquarium and then drop the others and you will see the action of the senco quiver as it falls. It is different from all of the rest of the knock offs. While they all will catch fish it is the senco that seems to come out ahead on the fish count. Are the few extra fish you catch worth the price is up to you to decide. Art

Good to hear Lew...I hope you all get some rest now and relax for a while. Art

I use 50 and 65 lb braid with 30 lb leaders when I get snagged up I use a piece of wood dowel that I keep on the boat. I wrap the line around it 3 or 4 times and then pull till the leader breaks then just tie on a new hook saving the weight and swivel because it is on the 50lb+ stuff. Art

Nice trip thanks for taking the time for the report. Art
