You might try dealing directly with G loomis and get better results. The place were you bought it has already gotten their profit out of the transaction and will only lose money if they use manpower to keep you happy. They don't feel that you hold them responsable because they blamed the return policy on the vendor/manufacture. Art

thats a right nice fence you built their bud. Glad to see you had time to go fishin and get a few to boot is a bonus. I went down to see if the yellow perch have come up into the river yet but they aint here yet...... Art

I'm guessing that a few people have not been introduced to the term"Headhunter". The job that Joe is involved with is matching the right people to the right job. Companies will call him and ask for a person with these qualifications and if the Headhunter finds the person then he get paid for his services by the company. If a person comes to him and gives him a resume then he tries to match them up with a company that needs that professional. In some cases he might approach people from company "A" and see if he can put together a package to work for company "B". If he can get a commitment from "A" he then presents it to company "B" to see if they will agree and then he gets a brokers fee for putting together the deal. It is a job that takes lots of people skills, time and commitment. It is why this thread is so funny and tongue and cheek. Joe has in the past has helped write quite a few resumes for people on the board and helped them find new directions in their working life. As you can see their is a big difference between an employment agency and the job that Joe does. Art

So Joe at what point has this employees time become more valuable than yours? He is causing you to lose up to 35 min distracted from the job that you are suppost to be doing. Now he will be costing the manpower to document his dismissial? You would be amazed at the energy that he is sapping from you and the people that work around him. Their are to many good people who want his job around to keep him their cut your losses and send him out the door as soon as you can. I know that non of this is new info I just wanted to help you like you have helped alot of people in the past. Art

Nelly from what I know of the species they do not have any viable populations above South Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania. The cousin of this fish is the Channel Catfish which does tolerate colder waters and can be found along the Canadian border in waters that are not to far north. The size of the Channel catfish is not as big as the blues are. Art

with a soft pitch like that here it comes T.J..............I thought you were hibernating their my little fuzzy buddy. Art

for those following the catfishing in the Potomac river down here by Washington D.C. here are the results to this Saturdays events. I have put them into a link just in case you are on a slow connection and dont have alot of time. catfish photo link.

due to the age of your motor I would disregard their recommendations. You can also call their tech support with the info that woodsman was nice enough to post. I also have heard that some places that sell the props have a free testing props program I am not sure if it is in Canada or not though. Art

Give this site a check it should get you in the ballpark as far as reproping the boat. If you are not having any problems with the old prop as far as performance then stay with the same style and size. If you change the diameter or the pitch you will effect the speed or acceleration/load carrying ability of the boat. mercury prop selector Art

The pump that I have used in the past is a pump made by the Wayne pump company. It is a 24 volt pump that runs as the primary pump. It runs on two 12 volt batteries that are hooked to the control box. It charges and runs the pumps and switches it over to 24 volts as needed. I have found that you need to check the batteries bi monthly or the charger will cook out the batteries. I sent the charger box back to the manufacture as defective when it cooked 2 batteries. The replacement box also started to cook the batteries. I decided to get a guest 2 bank charger and hooked it in and let it run off the batteries so far it has been 1 year without any cooking of the batteries. The advantages is it is a high volume pump and it is the only one in the pit. The head that it can overcome is much more than any of the 12 volt marine pumps that companies are selling. Here is a link to the company that I bought them from you can use the info to track someone down in Canada who can supply you with the unit. Art 24volt pump setup at pumpbiz.

Here to a fast recovery bud sorry it had to be done. Art

If you have a 2 bank charger and you have two batteries why not hook the charger to both batteries. Anytime a battery is not at full charge it is creating sulfites that are killing the batteries. The battery manufactures all recomend that you charge the batteries as soon as you get off the water and not to let them sit around. A battery that sits for even as little as a week has lost some of it charge or becomes unbalanced. Saving one incase the other charger burns out does not make sense because it is the same charger only a few circuits and the leads are different. I also run the guest chargers one is a two battery unit and the other is a 3 battery 12/24 volt set up both have been flawless in their operation. Art

Glad to see they have found a route to go. Heres hoping for a speedy recovery bud. Art

All of ther poor comedians out of work and GCD got to try to be funny. I am suprised his alabama ass knows what a cold weather sport like hockey is. It is a shame we lost though...... Art

what you are looking for is called a jack plate but you will be messing up the thrust line by adapting a long shaft to a short shaft boat. Art

I would go see the doctor and get a definite diagnosis to the problem you are having and then decide on some of the other treatments that the helpful people on OFC are offering. Something as simple as being dizzy/nauseas could be either the start of the flu or a early warning of a stroke depending on the circumstances. Art

Well done tony I built my garage and instead of drywall I hung osb board (flakeboard)on the walls the price was only a little more but I can hang anything anywere I want and no holes punched in the drywall by accident. Tip : paint it all white inside it will make it alot brighter with the lights you hang. Art

I personally am not offened PH I am glad to hear that you come to see the USA it is a country that is different from the place that you live. That can also be said to be the reason that we come up north to Canada to see a place that is beautiful in its own way. I have found however that the prices that the lodges charge are not on a sliding scale were the Americans pay more or less as long as the exchange rate is followed or you pay in Canadian money. I will keep coming up North to see my friends and fish for the species that are not found were I live. To buy a lodge is a very attractive dream that most everyone has entertained at one time or another. It is hard to judge what the outcome of purchasing one is going to be. Some times just the simple act of changing hands and just one person no longer being their is enough to change peoples mind as to whether or not they will have a return visit. Since the reason the lodge is being sold varies and the negatives of the lodge are always hidden as best they can it is important to talk to the local merchants and people on the lake as how they feel or react to having the lodge and how it is run. The answers you get should be taken as an average not as an example of what each person says because at some point we all can make some one mad at us and grudges to some people are a way of life. Thinking about and weighing in with what happens if this fails were will I be is pretty important so give that a test run on your model before you decide. Good luck RT
