  1. If you extend the sides of the box a bit to fit snugly within the framework of the front rack, then it won't move side to side, front to back. Then get the ratchet strap with rubber coated hooks to hold it down.
  2. Nice work, handy to have some tunes when the bite is slow.
  3. I've still got my stupid phone, no internet or email. On the rogers pay as you go plan, $20 per month gives me a lot of text time and really low rate long distance which I only use in summer at the camp.
  4. We're all just jealous of your comfy hut.
  5. Oh ya, pic# 2 really shows it, in all the years, I have never seen the ramps level to get on the dock, it was always downhill.
  6. I get mine from Maguires in Minesing. Tastes a 100 times better than that liquid sugar with food colouring.
  7. The Marinco ones are pretty much bullet proof, short of dropping an anchor on them they should last a loooong time.
  8. Not to ridicule any posts, but there's a fine line when I buy bearings and seals. The $1.99 junk will not see any action on my equipment.
  9. Annually at the end of the season. Makes no sense to me to possibly have water infiltration sitting inside the hub and rusting the heck out of bearings and races during the off season. Problem solved before it becomes one.
  10. No, they rarely carry anything over 3/4 inch. Unless you want to laminate a couple of 3/4 planks together, that may well work too. Check the thickness of your transom, some run from about 1 inch to 1 and a half.
  11. I got the wood at a mill in Alliston, there are others out there.
  12. Wet wood is no good. If it's the transom in the boat in your avatar it won't be too difficult. Take off the corners, motor, top aluminum cap over the rail and any other things like tie downs. The wood interior should come straight up. I did a couple of aluminum transoms in solid 1 inch maple and oak soaked in Thompsons water seal.
  13. Time to set up a couple of trail cameras.
  14. They may, but if they're lug centric instead of hub centric then they have to use an adapter plate, most of which don't have the remotest clue how to use. If they're hub centric, no problem.
  15. Run a chalk line across the tread in a few places, then drive down the road for a 1/4 mile and see where the chalk is missing, underinflated, no chalk on the edges, overinflated, no chalk in the center. A crude method but it works.
  16. X2, One hub for the boat trailer and one for the cargo trailer.
  17. My neighbour goes to Beaverland every year, fishing is so so, catching is nothing to write home about.
  18. Just for the heck, I called my insurance and they said they have no firm dates for installation or removal of winter tires.
  19. Oh I feel for ya, that is beyond comprehension. I'd be making some phone calls to the news.
  20. Just stop at the corner of Markham and Eglington, see anyone shady standing around, they can probably do it. Problem is you might not get it back.
  21. Don't laugh, I used to be a dispatcher, had a woman call me on another admin line to ask what the number is for 911, (she said nine-eleven) there's no # eleven on the keypad. Hope she doesn't spawn any kids.
