  1. When looking at the Honda model, it's only got 9.1 inches of clearance, that's with no one sitting on it. The Yamaha 550 is 2 inches higher. You'll find out the difference when you hit the first stump or obstruction how far the human body can go over the handlebars When it comes to ATV's, (as much as I like Honda/Yama/Suzuki/Kawa ) products, the Honda ATV's are a bit behind in technology. Some are still using carbs, low ground clearance, and electronic shift, marvellous when it gets wet, 'cause then it doesn't..shift. As far as the other granola wagons, Artic crud doesn't even make my interest meter blip, Boombardier and Poopoolaris are just that. Go with the Yama550
  2. Best deal is probably old bedframes you can get at the restore/recycle place.
  3. No thanks we have some already.
  4. And I bet they feed them with all natural food ...with maybe just a little bit of extra bull granola in there to make sure that they can make it to market.
  5. Well, got to give him a for trying.
  6. Jedimaster to the rescue, they were the middle ones I had.
  7. Skipper, if you can find a pair of the old oak office chairs, maybe at the Restore in Barrie and give them a healthy dose of marine varnish, like Valspar. I had one in my old boat, comfy, durable and with the side arms you can snooze and not list overboard. No vinyl to get stuck to and no cheezy hinges to break.
  8. Yep, she was quite the number, keep ya laughing for sure.
  9. Well here's my attempt, 2 sleeves, one body and collar, 2 pockets and a bunch of buttons, now I'm sure someone out there will be able to figure out how to make a shirt out of that.
  10. Hahahaha, I left that one for you knowing that you'd go and look. I got the dark one, a green one and a beige one.
  11. Nice explanation Bryan.
  12. Got the last 3 XL size at Molson Pk, these shirts definitely keep you from burning in the sun. And at the price they're going, I got 3 for 1 compared to what I paid at BPro in the spring, damm thieves.
  13. You ought to try being the batter for that game, must be the stitching in the balls that keeps them together, squrrils don't hold up so well.
  14. You can get seals at Canada Bearing. Ask specifically for the double lipped version. They work much better for boat trailers in the water. The single lipped versions are okay for land use.
  15. If you have a bench grinder around, keep one of the old cones and lightly grind off the outside. You can then use it to reset the new cone as you drive it in, that way you won't be beating the new one to hell. As for preloading bearings, I've never done it, and have not had any bearing issues. If they're too tight, you'll burn them out before you hit the first stop sign. A bit of slack is better than too tight.
  16. The inner cone may not be properly seated causing the race to only contact part of it.
  17. Just shrink the size of the holes in the nets and then there won't be anything left. Nets are for hockey, soccer, etc. It would be cheaper to just throw more bad money out there with no nets allowed. At least then there would be no more nets full of rotting fish at all.
  18. If you can find one, the 03-07 Rams with a Cummins can't be beat, even towing a 5k travel trailer I got 18.5mpg, empty it get's up to 25mpg on highway, 22 around town.
  19. Bilge pump is for the basement or root cellar..
  20. I close the door and turn on the satellite and TV and look for the fishing shows. If it's too grumpy, I close up the trailer and go home. Anyone can get uncomfortable, some need practice.. Matter of fact, last sunday morning was a bit of a comedy watching soaked campers roll up their tents and contents and throw them into the back of their trucks and leave. There's not too many tents even with a good fly that will hold off the rain. A good tarp with extra overhang all around gives you a bit more of a chance.
  21. My grudge has always been that thing get turned in the commercial netters favour. Last time I checked, nylon was invented until around 1935, so how the hell did nylon gill nets become part of the treaty. Canoes that run into tugboats with modern engines are another stumbling point.
  22. It's long overdue that some of these so called judges should suffer the same fate as the victims. Maybe then they would have a bit more compassion for the victims and send the crimies up to Churchill as polar bear food.
  23. I'm not religious, but you might want to pray. For your own curiosity, google "battery sulfation" and you will find out what happens to an idle battery that undergoes no maintenance. Your money, time to learn and save.
  24. Ya, water levels going down, dredge the channel deeper. If you're not in the channel, poof you run aground. The worst is they keep dredging and the water levels keep going down. I know Mother Nature has input, but there's a limit to everything.
