Fisherman

Ah found it. https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/calgary-company-s-technology-used-in-nasa-mars-mission-could-help-reduce-oilsands-emissions-1.6228028?fbclid=IwAR3UR6AEG4tzqCdwxjnbm7tLAPMrrkzQBpBM88JFBj2hwUBEhHvSoQqw5LU

Well when it's cold enough, you could shoot icicles at the guy behind you.

Apparently there is, instead of steam extraction, they have found a new way which substantially increases output. Read it somewhere a few days ago, damned if I can find it.

7.5E may go for around $3-3500. The Avator 7.5e isn’t a particularly powerful system, with just a 750W continuous-rated motor. That’s equivalent to one horsepower, though the electric drive means that the higher torque system can do more with less power. No price on the batteries and then you'll need one of their chargers too.

Imagine the weight of the boat, a Tesla car battery weighs about 1500 lbs, I would guess a boat battery would weigh around 400 to get any time/distance.

Now suppose someone goes to a derby that lasts a couple days to a week such as the Owen Sound Spectacular. Where do you charge overnight. Or you go and rent a cottage for a week somewhere, will they have charge facilities.

Don't forget 20 feet of rope for a tow and oars.

Success of what, money to sell equipment, boats, and a pile of other stuff. It's pretty much a put and take effort.

Well adding to the jocularity, I worked at the old Holiday Inn in Barrie for a short stint, the variety of critters(non human) roaming the halls and kitchen during quiet hours was just beyond belief. I used to come home in the morning and get changed in my detached shed, less chance of bringing the bugs into the house. I too would rather sleep in the back of my truck.

I think the problem with Atlantics are lack of rivers/streams where they normally spawned due to dams and human building.

Salmon introduced into the great lakes are just that, another non native specie that probably wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. Then those fish farms are another disaster, shouldn't be allowed.

Well, I noticed it said not to apply before the 1st Tuesday in Dec.

Would be the fall of 1978 at the Moisie Radar Station, north short St Lawrence.

Merry Christmas to all, best of health.

Looks like the proverbial hot dog mill is working fast this year, got mine too.

Permanently closed,

Well, time to check the mailbox, that's pretty fast.

Yes, have been for quite a number of years, another brain dead government move.

The shorter the renewal period, the more likely they will catch someone that forgot.

The on line system is up and working, don't forget to print it off and carry with you, only 3 1/2 weeks until old cards expire.

Shhh, hide it.

About the same as a manure spreader.

I kind of wonder when society is crying about how they can't afford this or that but say go with the biggest you can afford. I have visions of 20 inch monitors, but wait my boat is now too small. Unless you spend an inordinate amount of time on the water and it's your income like charters, I don't think the average Joe "needs" a large fish finder.

Nice pics, hopefully the young lad is hooked on this sport.
