So here I am up at 4:30, ready to go ice fishing for the first time in my life, Oh happy happy day! Tackle is stowed in the car with care, for all the people I haven't yet met will be there. The key is turned, the motor purrs, worries are spurned, and off I go! Tim's soon makes an appearance, one large coffee for the highway, soon the carefree drive makes for the biway. What's this strange sound, a high pitched whine, could it, would it be a sign? The sign soon shows, a transmission it blows! The 400 is a lonely place, not at all full of grace, the shoulder it seems it the place I will keen, as my trip to Barrie seems to be nary. What is this, an exit appears, the Bass pro is near! With a grind and a groan, and many a moan the saturn it seems will ruin my dreams, of fishing for Tyler today. With a heavy heart as the plan falls apart, Tinbanger is called and told of the fall. With a heavy heart and saying such words as fart, my family is told of the terrible tragedy that befell me. A lilt in her voice and making the choice my wife cheered me up and said, "I'll pick you up". The rest of the day we decided to play and found the car to get me to the next GTG with out screwing up. Forgive the poetic licence. So that is why I wasn't able to go to Fishing for Tyler today.

Spoken like a true gentleman

I am going for perch, I suppose...

Are minnows the only bait one should use? I have never done this before, any advice is welcome. If this is a thread hijack, I apologize.

My sympathies to anyone affected by this tragedy. Seeing how it was a local flight, I hope no-one from the board was affected.

Now all I need to do is learn how to read a map, and I'll be golden! Thanks a lot!

I have a similar seat on my boat, and I find on hot days, they are not the best for comfort IMHO. The other ones on the same page for $9.95 (Wise Deluxe High-Back Fishing Boat Seats - Model WD588PLS) might be a better seat to look at. Good luck with the purchase.

I'm in if possible

No fair, you said 7:20 not 7:00

Ah, com'on John you're not that big.... BTW how much work do have for me????

And I see you like to stir the pot!

You did very well! This is a family board so I can't go any further..... Yes clotesac is the dutch slang word for scrotum.

Ya younge ben ya now an clotesac! Doonder mar eve op!

Welcome, sounds like a good deal to me!

I just sent this to my wife.

Can I come too!???? I ain't never been to alabama.

That is one PO,ed sherrif!

Holy Toledo, that is a risky situation to be in. 150 - 300 dumbasses? Not too likely that so many people made the same mistake. I hope things turn out well for everyone.

You, sir, have an extra special invite to any GTG

It happened today, I saw the CBC go by as I was helping my neighbour buck a tree into firewood. It was a success! Here is the link: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/02/06/...t-hamilton.html

Well done, it is making me look forward to Fishin for Tyler!

Ron was quite the guy to work for, eh?

That explains your handle. If you're a chicken don't get caught....

Congrads! Nice to have a skunk de-scented! Good colours on that fish too!

If I am lucky I will be able to watch the flight.
