Fisherman

Unless you maybe requested for the dealership to get you a copy right from Service Canada when they did the ownership change for you, it will come by snailmail, usually a week or so.

Pretty sure there's still ice, here's a link wit two pics that are a live camera: www.city.barrie.on.ca/Content2.cfm?C=4150&SC=1&SCM=0&MI=1226&L1M=38

Don't know if the enviro guys would have something to say about making alterations like that.

Sorry for your loss, may the memories last..

Yes you definitely want to have a copy of that paper with you in the boat. Get a small "dry box" copies of fishing licence, boat ownership, safe boater certificate all go in there and stay there.

For the trailer, maybe replace the tires and bearings if they need it, wiring, make sure the lights all work. For the motor, get the prop rebuilt, even though it's only little dings, balance is important, it only takes a little longer for a dinged prop to screw up the lower unit, do the oil and impeller. For the boat, it looks alright, maybe just some minor shining up.

One item that should be on every boat in open water is a VHF radio, and pay attention to the weather broadcast..often, and learn how to use what it's intended for.

Well now you definitely wouldn't make a good politician telling the truth like that..

A couple things to remember, much more than 7X (the power of magnification, first number) you need to be really steady otherwise the shakes become pronounced. The the bigger the second number is, the better the light gathering quality is, ie, a 7x50 pair has a light factor of 7.1 versus a 10x40 which only has a factor of 4.0. Big difference under early morning, late evening light conditions. Stay away from the C junk. Japanese or German optics are best.

Power Surge actually makes batteries?

Not looking for any "free" photos and she never mentioned any renumeration, just a pleasant, yes I'll send them. Maybe next time I'll turn the "other" cheek..

I specifically asked her for last years pictures and gave her my e-mail, never heard a thing back.

What John said.

Nut & bolt with a rubber washer on each side, lot easier to remove than dried in epoxy or other goop. Make the washers from and old piece of tire tube or use fender washers with a garden hose washer under it, guaranteed no leaks.

Optima, way over rated, unless you plan on boating upside down it's just a gimmick which way you can mount them. Go to a battery shop and talk to them, Group size batteries are pretty much standard (dimensional and output) and quite a number of them will put out more current than Optimas ever will. A couple of "real" deep cycle Trojans or Odysey will do better. Those little round labels the batteries have on them like "05/09" means the battery was last charged in May of 2009, get the closest to your buying date if possible. Idle batteries sulfate and deteriorate if not maintained. Cheers.

That was caught in the Ganny, all that good polluted farm water.

Fillets laid in a glass or stainless pan, sprinkle pickling salt, refridgerate overnight, rinse clean next morning, place on racks, into the smoker for 4-6 hours depending size and outdoor temps. Real smoked fish doesn't is ruined by a spicerack.

I was there yesterday, a raging torrent of diarhea, same with Thornbury, it will take at least a week to clear up and then there's rain coming on the weekend. You might be able to get a boat out there by then if the ice doesn't come back in.

Well said, want to ride like an idiot, do it on your own lawn.

How about a boatfull of horned helmeted Vikings

Thanks, I'll pass that onto a couple of the old guys at work that like to spend their sundays there.

There were about a dozen 2002/03 skidoos, exOPP units, most were in pretty good shape, minor cosmetic stuff, one had no coils(probably another $400+ for them) and one other one looked a bit questionable. If the prices had been like one of the last auctions(around $1200-1800) for those skidoos, then it's a good deal. Most of these ones started at $1600 and then went up crazy. One went for over $3K, nuts. One ArcTic Cat ATV went for around $2K. the motor was in pieces, There were two 14' Lowe boats, one had been welded at the curve at the front of the keel, real hack job and the other looked like someone rolled it down Mt Everest, even Irishfield couldn't make that one straight If the prices had been right, I would have bought unfortunately not his time. you can check it on line here: http://northtorontoauction.com/main.cfm?p=...&ShowICAN=1

I can see dealers and jobbers parting them out, but these guys didn't have enough smarts and wouldn't know what to do with toast and peanutbutter, never mind a wrench and screwdriver.
