Fisherman

They're just narrow streamers, came back from BPro, from Cookstown north was a bit of a slowdown, past Barrie it's okay. If you wait 10 minutes it can change.

11:30 at night on questionable conditions eh, I wonder what the precursor to that was?

Maybe it's time to have a massive e-mail, snail mail and telephone complaints to the "honourable" dork of a minister of everythings all screwed up again. Snail mail can be sent to your local member of parliament without a stamp. No point complaining here.

Even 10-20 is far too many, you can only wear one at a time.

Had another Darwin Special on Simcoe today, buddy figured the ice was getting too thick and needed to be broken up with his nomobile. Unfortunately the rescue crew had to go and pluck his sorry bacon out of the drink. Nomobiles are those things that don't work well in the water, when you try and start them, they go no no no no! They added a careless driving charge, should have been wasting oxygen.

Usually everyone goes home at the end of the day and that's where the problem comes in, booze and hmmm.. whooze goink todive ome? If you can't fish without booze you have a problem.

Unfortunately that's where natures stuck some peoples brains, in their "noodle". Fortunately no rescue guys had to stick their necks out for them.

There's the crucial part where you are wrong, every Complete discharge takes "1 life cycle" out of the battery and the problem is with NiCds, you don't know with a VOM how "dead" or discharged the battery is. Some electronic gadgets have a "time to recharge" feature, things like an electric knife don't. So you kill the batteries each time a little more when in actual fact a deep discharge may only be needed maybe 1 in every 10 cycles. I used NiCds over the years with model flying, you learn really really quickly how to screw things up at your own expense. Present day you will find more and more NiMH rechargables, they don't develop memory and don't use Cadmium (bad heavy metal). You have to read all 4 pages of the link to get the whole truth.

And pray do tell where did you learn this? And don't be telling me a friend of your Uncle Tony or anything like that. How about something technical.

Why is it that some people don't bother to get educated about things and then just babble. Unless you're a complete and and doing stooopid things, working on the car/truck doesn't gather attention. Similar to having the boat anchored/tied up and having the required amenities.

If it's not getting gas into the carb, (you said you had to spray gas into the carb earlier on to get it to run), then I'm suspecting the needle valve above the diaphram is stuck and/or the diaphram is so old and dry that it won't allow the needle valve to open and let the gas flow.

Nope, we pay our bills over here..

The carb doesn't suck from the tank, it's gravity fed with a needle valve that controls the initial flow, then regulated by the one or two needle valves or jet depending on the model. The primer bulb causes the diaphram to go up, trip the needle valve to allow gas in, same as when the motor is running. Have you changed the diaphram?

And, if I not wrong and you don't pay, try renewing you DL or registration.

Well if there's gas in the tank and it's not leaking out, then I would believe that the hose is secure enough at both ends. Does the auger run, that's the big question. Bubbles can come back up from the carb and into the line, shouldn't bother it any.

Hmmm, you really have to put in some more effort for the backdrop in the 4th pic.

You're the owner/operator/captain of the boat, get a belt, pull up your pants and grow some kahunas or go back into the kitchen and find an apron.

Ya, took an other peek this morning, doesn't look good yet. Looks more like end of the season crumbly sugar ice with water patches on top. It's pretty bad when this place doesn't have anyone out there fishing by Boxing day.

I had to read the whole thing..line the walls with tin??? Aren't you supposed to use aluminum foil to keep out the bad vibes and space rays

Okay, thanks, at least I have a rough idea. We have been out to Glen Echo a couple times and few of the others a little west of there. I know where Wasi Falls is, ate frog legs once upon a time in a little restaurant in Callander. Thanks again.

Where exactly do you set this up, (on the lake I'm sure) NB side, or more on the South Shore? Maybe a spot on a map? Might be able to make it if work allows.

MTO makes the major rules, the Municipalities must make the rule to agree to allow you to use an ATV on the local roads, shoulders, ditches, etc. Municipality rules do not trump MTO.

Somehow I believe it would be technically impossible to accumulate close to a million kilometers on 3 skidoos unless you are about 100 years old.

It's covered, but not thick enough. Somebody else was down there for a look today.

You might want to take a look at the long range, doesn't look like a whole bunch of ice making weather after tomorrow.
