One small point of fact, battery chargers should put out no more than what's called "C/10" of a batterys amperage. Therefore, a small 12V 7Amp battery should not be charged by a charger with a greater output than .7amps or 700mA. C/10 is capacity divided by 10 or 10% of the batterys capacity. BPS has the small 500mA chargers. Even at full discharge, don't leave the charger on for longer than 10-12 hours. Just trying to save you a buck.

A garbage bag or plastic grocery bag should be a part of everyones tackle.

Ya, you're right, some should have it stapled to their forehead.

Oh, there's already been one checking out Simcoe somewhere around Glenwoods, nuts.

Ha, makes for a priceless photo story, next time watch the spices in the roebags, poor bird got a bad case of "ring on fire".

Thanks Rattletrap2, turn of the 110 to the furnace and for good luck, set it back to pilot before I stick my nose anywhere close to the burners. I'll see what I can check out with the flex mirror.

Maybe 2 nights at -20, but even then, you really want to know where the main current runs throught there.

Small world Wayne, that fellow was related to one of the guys at work here, orinally from Elmvale.

Ratletrap2: First, nice write up, second, I also have an older, 1983 standing pilot type gas furnace. You mentioned to look for possible forming cracks in the heat exchanger. Dumba** question, but how do you see them without dismantling the furnace? I can see where the open flame goes up into the exchanger, what about the sides and top? How do you access that area? I clean mine out every year, long brushes similar to barrel brushes for a shotgun, couple of drops of oil for the motor shaft. BTW, I don't have AC or a humidifier on the system if it makes any difference.

Castaway: I used to fly planes, gave it up a while back. Helo's are a bit more difficult unless you have the advanced integrated system that allows you to fly 1 stick instead of 2. You might also want to consult the local club about the MAAC insurance to save your bacon if you experience flying into some Cumulo-Granite clouds, a.k.a. somebodys car or personal stuff.

What I hate is when they tell you how to do something they are totally incapable of doing themselves, you should do this, you should do that.

I would be a little shy, sometimes it pays to have a slightly larger displacement motor that doesn't have to work as hard and still maintain decent mileage. And yes, I have heard the same story, remove cab to replace engine, but I don't know if it applies to all models.

Somebody close to London lend Slowpoke a high powered snowblower so he can retrun his neighbours favour.

Just for trivia, the louder the noise woodpeckers make like rapping on rain gutters, metal chimnies, metal stand-offs on hydro poles, the "larger" their marked territory is.

Okay, pay attention, first impression, everyones trying to be funny, but I think what Matthew is trying to elude to is: Does the size matter to you when it comes to transducers, ie, would a bigger size transducer get in your way while ice fishing or would a bigger transducer cause problems behind your boat. For me, if the transducer would provide more info, fine, maybe double in size to obtain twice the info may be acceptable.

Jiffy #30, excellent, drilled more holes than a mad pack of termites in balsa.

Ditto: The worst mistake I ever made was selling the slide in. Should have kept it for the "father & son" fishing and hunting trips, maybe I'll find another or build one to suit.

Great retorts

This should take you right to the video of it in action. http://www.honda-marine.com/modelDetail.as...odelGroup=BF20# A shoot, then go to features and chick on the play power tilt video.

Cliff and I sent a couple of PM's and I believe all is well, just different opinions from both sides of the coin. Sometimes my submissions may look horribly misdirected, I assure you, they are not, I have no benefit from ragging on anyone. I'm just trying to show both sides of what could have happened but fortunately didn't. One must often visualize events and possible repercussions from different angles so to speak. I worked for 25 years in enforcement, almost another 10 completed in dispatch like Lew said. I've seen enough carnage to last a lifetime, that's why I made the comments I did. Let's go back to fishing, shine up the auger and sharpen hooks, tie on new line, wax the runners on the sled, just got back from town and dang the ponds are frozen, if this keeps up, Little Lake will be hard soon. Hey MODS, we need a "Frozen Fishing" icon.

Spring is the time to sell, fall(probably to late now) is the time to buy, if you go to the customs site, there is an info package on what you must do, prior and at the border when bring in such an item.

Ya, hopefully nothing expensive. I know that after a couple hundred starts the fuse (looks like a piece of tin) would expand and shrink so many times, it would form a hairline crack, and finally on the colder days, no contact, but the relay would cycle like normal, lights and all go dim, but no power to the glowplugs.

Wayne, let us know what it is/was. Not knowing what year Mo's car is, there are a couple other things, that could come into play. Usually injector pumps on those don't go from one second to the next, they go bad slowly, fuel mileage going down, lower power, etc.

Yor're right on that one, the newer ones have an EGR valve that can really get plugged and cause greeat havoc.
