Chris look at the Diawa lexa reels they have a little size to them. As you look at the reels make sure you pay attention to the weight of the reels as well. You also can look at a pair of nose picker gloves to keep your hands from cramping up.

Yup I had to jump a few boat switches in my time. The big boat the security is not in the keys but where they are hidden. The switches to start the motors are toggle switches on the panel but the search for the keyed switches will take some time. I also wired the battery switches backwards so off is on for an added measure. locks are for honest people for the most part anyone with the basic skills can pick the locks but more importantly anyone who wants to bypass a lock doesn't care if they damage it in the process. Not that any of this is right all that a lock does is prove intent of trespassing or burglary in a court of law.

Cause we all know how high security boat ignitions are. You can start them just as fast with a hammer/screwdriver and a wrench.

Term them as sub contractors and see if that will make the comp. issue go away.

Happy Birthday to the Great White North.

We will be in Hamilton Sat around 5 or so and then up to Lak Air Sunday mid day I think.

Don't say that...Lew is one of the smilingest people I know!

 

 

 

Nice photo shop Roy because I KNOW Lew does not smile. John and Barb Joe and I moved to Cabin 1 so you are in 6 now it has less stairs from what Goldie said.

We should be in on Sunday mid day.

Cool deal now show us the money.

. Replace the bulb even if the bulb looks good. The drop of solder that makes the connection on the back may be worn down from vibration. While this sounds wacky it is very often the simple answer.

Art

Glad to hear you had such a great trip Lew. Fish or not I know if there is a place that will someday get a smile out of you it will come from there. Sure am going to miss you this year,

Look at trex to see if it fits in your lifestyle Cliff.

Yes it also applies to fuel Injected motors I am used to working on the carb. engines because it is what I own. Same principle though.

Art

Open the brass screw 1/2 turn it should let fuel flow out if it is what I think it is. If it does it is the bleed down for the carb. If no fuel then re close the screw 1/2 turn and I have guessed wrong.

Art

So if you think it is the bushing and your wrong how much money does this mistake cost? I have never seen an issue that gets cheaper the longer it occurs.

I would have entered my muskie picture except it doesn't exist.....

The ticket is not a cop judging the event as it being guilty or innocent. He is someone who has been trained to take the information and document it on the spot to be presented and then judged in a court of law. The discretionary part that a policeman has ,is there enough evidence of an issue/crime to warrant bringing it up to the Magistrate. So add one car long skid marks and a ditch means write a ticket. Your son presented evidence that it was a mechanical issue and was found innocent. Being a cop and doing your job by the book does not mean you have a grudge or hatred of something and you want to punish people. Yes there are some police that will do this but they are weeded out fairly quickly and disciplined/retired as the case fits.

Art

References, business licenses, place of work address, insurance are very important. My boat lives at a marina and a great talking mechanic helped out my slip neighbor. It seems his wallet was to heavy so after lightening it he did part of the job and disappeared like smoke.

Lesson learned

Art

Who knew.

Art

We have a sticker that is issued by the Coast Guard if you invite them to come aboard and check all of your equipment. It doesn't mean that you would not be spot checked by DNR. They usually will see the sticker and then ask to see 1 or 2 items from the list like a life vest and your extinguisher. They will then ask you to hold up your fishing license or we also have a whole boat license we can purchase for extra money that covers everyone on board. I have a personal license as well as the whole boat license to cover my friends that do not fish but once or twice a year. After a check or two DNR knows the boats they have checked and they will usually give you a wave and ask how the fishing is.

Art

I fish a local pond with this boat. It fits in the back of the pick up and one person can load and unload easily.

I paid $600.00 US 4 years ago and you it will fit on a canoe cart for short portages.

Good job and in my book I give first place for the big old bluegill.

Art

The strawberries look delicious the jars look like they are full of roe lol. I am sure that the taste is excellent though.

Art

I have no issues with complying with the rules of the road/water and if I decide to break them then I am big enough to pay the fine. For someone to destroy a vehicle be it a boat or a car should be an outrage to the community that paid for it in the first place. I live with the rule if it is not yours don't touch it without permission even if it is left idling at the wharf. Few things boil my blood as people doing stunts like this.

Art

Very nice of you Mike thank you as always for your generosity to OFC as well as being a heck of a good guy.
