  1. Pike an inch or two longer than that, chop the head off, knock out the guts, scale it and pickle them. The pickle juice disolves the bones, sort of just like pickled herring.
  2. Sorry but I tend to disagree too, Nitrogen is not an inert gas by definition, in fact it can be a highly reactive gas, regardless of temperature. Inert means it doesn't with other substances.
  3. Unfortunately I don't have a wood burner, I know, my loss, however to get the warmth and ambiance, I start cooking. Apple pies, turkey pot pies, toutiere, maybe some cookies. The aroma is full of calories.
  4. 1. What does your manual say if Yammy oil is not available. 2. Yamaha does not make oil, they buy from a wholesaler in bottles with their own lable. Matter of fact you can get the information from the Yama website, viewable manuals, page 15 for oil recommendations.http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/service/servicehome/home.aspx
  5. I'd be calling the CB Agency, just to get a 100% sure answer, although you may be able to find it on the website that deals with importing food.
  6. I'm guessing they like to use nitrogen for tires/wheels using tpms for the sole reason that there's no oxygen to speed up the corrosion inside the tire for the tpms components. Other than that, maybe a nitrogen molecule is larger in size and can't leak out as easy as an oxygen molecule.
  7. 1996 25 Honda, somewhere around 1500 hours on it, once a year oil change and lower gear oil, fuel filter, 3rd set of plugs in 15 years. Doesn't burn oil, sips gas, runs quiet. I'm happy. I'll just wear a steel cup when the Etec nut tries to kick me in the goolies with JC waterwalkers.
  8. There's a huge difference in trying to discredit compared to reality. It's like saying if I eat a pound of popcorn out comes 15 pounds of brown stuff with a few extras thrown in as part of the reaction. Get serious.
  9. Somebody said Columbus discovered the "New World" in 1492, I think he was a "bit" late, it was discovered long before that, time to rewrite books should happen more often. As for making 15 gallons of water per gallon of gas, I've been in the fog and rain, but not that bad. Matter of fact, I wouldn't even think of trying to smoke whatever your teacher was on..
  10. I went for a drive by this morning, I think bigger anchors are in order, everybody was moving with the waves at a pretty good clip.
  11. So lets burn a lot of gas and nobody will run out of water.. I think this is more like it: So the stoichiometry gives (118lb of C8H18 reacts with 400lb of Oxygen to give 353 lb of CO2 and 162 lbs of water). So per pound of gasoline burnt you get 1.42 lbs of water. Density of gasoline is around 6 lbs / gal and that of water is 8.3 lbs/gal. Plugging in those numbers you get 1.03 gallons of water are produced per gallons of gasoline burnt. Now to be able to compare apple to apple, I convert the water produced per mile of travel. Assuming 25 miles to a gallon average of a US Car that works out to be : 0.04 gal of water produced per mile
  12. And the real answer is...do what your owners manual recommends. My '96 Honda manual recommends running the motor dry until it stops and then draining any left over gas from the carbs.
  13. Last time I saw a whole rack of topo maps at Canadian Tire on Bayfield.
  14. As soon as you see this "The title is clean and clear" , stop reading and go to the next ad. If you keep reading, you're swallowing hook, line and sinker and you'll be temped by the Stoopid Fairy to do something you shouldn't.
  15. Okay, so what happened, did it bounce off the atmosphere or did some aliens hijack it?
  16. Time always flys when you're happy, enjoy the moment.
  17. I imagine they will come out with a longer cable in the future. I had one of the bigger bulky ones, they work very well in clear water like Simcoe, but, it was a beast to lug around.
  18. The 4.7 is a thirsty engine and has a few other problems that don't show when they are new. You might want to do a bit of research on them.
  19. I just watched a video the other day, a new product from Aqua Vu called Aqua Vu Micro, The display is about the size of a big pack of cigarettes or cell phone, the camera with incorporated automatic lighting is about the size of a .25c piece with 50 feet of cable. http://www.aquavu.com/store/shop/aqua-vu-micro-camera-system-available-8-25-2011/
  20. Aluminum boat no problem, fibreglass, na, if it's been in the water for a while, it may well be waterlogged. Somehow water doesn't run out as fast as it runs in.
  21. I understand where you're coming from, tried to sell an ATV last year, going price $7-7500, you wouldn't believe how many idiots and tire kickers had the nerve to waste my time with $2-3000 offers. It did sell for $7K.
  22. Have you ever seen a fly on a hotdog? Nuff said.
  23. From the Ontario MNR website: What To Do With Road Kill If You Accidentally Hit Wildlife on the Road Every person who acquires the carcass of a black bear, woodland caribou, white-tailed deer, American elk, or moose SHALL report the acquisition immediately to the nearest MNR office.
  24. Legally to claim it, you must call the MNR, report a deer strike, they will send you a letter that gives you authority to possess the road kill.(Sort of like a tag). At the same time call the local police, they will or should give you a file number for reporting it that will give proof of an accident should the MNR question it. I've done it a number of times. Then comes the 10 minute job of dressing it, finding a safe place to hang it, slice, dice, bag and tag it for the freezer. I'm sure one of the "neighbouring" OFNers would give you a hand for a burger or two.
