AKRISONER

hahaha the scramble is crazy, the days are flying by leading up to this trip and its stressing me the hell out. I guess thats what i get for organizing the trip, driving the truck and supplying the boat. My lucky friends get the benefit of sitting back letting me book the campground, fixing the trailer, getting the boat ready and taking them down to alabama to fish with me. Perhaps i prefer it this way because now I get to do whatever the heck i want lol.

There is a license section but you have to have a ticket to that area. I believe the tickets into the beer garden area are only provided to rogers/MLSE employees. The rest of the goons are stuck in the general caged area which is absolutely rammed. If you are gonna go, arrive 5 hours early otherwise you will be stuck standing back on york street trying to see the screen at the ACC. Its a fun atmosphere, but you gotta be up for it and keeping the positive vibes...a flask is probably a good idea. Also the sens not allowing a shot for over a third of the game but still losing is soooo funny

my father remembers the leafs winning the cup, but no one remembers ottawa.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in here. Grimsby I was able to identify the exact bearings and races I needed by providing my VIN to EZ loader via the phone in washington. I then went to princess auto last night and got the bearings... Side note I wanted to get a race and seal driver set, princess auto had one listed for 60 bucks. So after working with 3 guys to find the 60 dollar kit it turned out that their inventory was messed up and they had none in stock. The stockboy then suggested that he could take a look at the last sale price on the $120 kit just to see what he could do for me...i guess they had them on clearance because I got the 120 kit for 50 bucks! sweeeeeet. I tried everywhere to find a Hub that would match as this seemed like a logical option but I could guarantee fitment so i went with the bearing swap option. I will let you guys know how it goes on Friday!

the sens would rather have the seats remain empty then sell the tickets to real hockey fans that will boo the sens at home like they always do ahaha

this seems to be a common sentiment, and if the case thats exactly what I am going to do! Im going to princess auto tonight and I hope to buy two entire assemblies, I may even buy both bearing kits as well and then use the one that fits and return the rest!

my buddy has an underpowered 16 foot smokercraft with a 60 on it. the thing cant get on plane with 1 person on the boat, it just frigging bounces around and feels like you are getting into a car crash every time you hit a ripple of water. I hate the damn thing. Also the finishes are garbage, the carpet is wearing entirely off all over the place and the front deck is rotting out. Not a fan at all.

Hey Drifter, I looked through EZ loader's entire line of trailers and I at least found some info relating to the weight capacity and the size of trailer I know the approximate size of the trailer is 14-17foot as we measured the max length of boat it would haul. it appears that the axles on these trailers are all 2000 series? if the weight capacity is 2350 would that matter re:axle size? or is a 2000 a 2000. I also was able to confirm that they are all 5 bolt and I was able to get the bolt pattern so I am getting close! So what I know is that the max length is definitely 17, its definitely adjustable and I 100% know that its a spring and not torsion model. I also now have the VIN number, hopefully someone at EZ loader can give me a hand identifying what size hubs are on the trailer *fingers crossed*

why arent these baits made to be biodegradable? Seriously, its technically illegal to throw plastic in the lake, I am not sure why they have not taken these products the way of golf tees etc and just made them out of biodegradable plastic.

if only it was this simple. I am in a slight snag... The trailer is 300km away...i will be up there on friday, but of course nothing will be open. So that leaves me saturday to hopefully find a bearing in parry sound that will fit. if I cant find a bearing up there I am in big trouble as I need to be back in Toronto for work on Monday with the trailer...I leave for guntersville on thursday morning. I know so little about these bearings that i am praying that they will have one at parry sound canadian tire. What i am really going to press to do is identify the trailer model tonight looking at the ownership and serial number. Hopefully then i can get on the phone with EZ loader and identify the size of either the hub or the wheel bearing. i will then be able to get a hub or wheel bearing down in toronto and simply bring them up north with me. No one on here has a 93-95 ez loader single axle 16-17 foot trailer do they? I am guessing that they would all have the exact same wheel assemblies.

pointe au baril opened up yesterday afternoon. There is still bits of ice floating around but everywhere except tight back bays are 100% accessible now.

interesting call Garnet. Replacing the entire assembly actually looks easier than doing just the bearings! Any recommendations on where to buy? I am going to get the serial number for the trailer tonight and hopefully i can figure out what the heck model trailer it is after calling EZ loader. Thats the tough part, I know its an EZ loader but that basically means nothing.

not ideal because all the shops are closed friday when I will be working on the trailer. I guess i will just have to decide whether or not I want to pull the hub on saturday and race to get it done or wait until monday evening. Anyone have any experience ordering these things? Do crappy can or princess auto typically have them in stock or are they an order and get them the next day type of thing?

Hey Guys, In prep for my trip down to Alabama I am hoping to swap the wheel bearings on my trailer. Definitely a very straightforward job except one catch...how in the heck do i determine what size bearings I need. Ive swapped the wheel bearings and hub assembly on a car before, simple, you just order the right one for your car. But for a trailer how the heck am I supposed to be able to determine the size. I guess if worst comes to worst I could just rip them out and take them somewhere to size match them but that really reduces my window to be able to get them before I leave on my trip. Does anyone know if there is a stamp on the hub assembly, or a way to tell what size wheel bearing I need perhaps the bearing buddy size is an indication? Sorry if this question is stupid I am just a total noob when it comes to trailers. The trailer is an 93-94 EZ loader. Single axle for a 16-17 foot fibreglass boat. If that helps?

so what happens when both teams inevitably get eliminated in the first round lol

you can definitely have the gear on you and not be using it...otherwise bringing pretty much any tackle bag to any national park or any specific lake with lure regs would be in violation. Its almost impossible to enforce that. Definitely wouldnt want a rod with anything illegal tied on though in the boat.

exactly I dont like being force fed BP China brand.

my experience is that they come in lower than BP or cabellas

word up to this post, time to hit napa!

i would still rather be in toronto's position than either the islanders or tampa think about the game against columbus sunday....you are on the road in a meaningless game against a team that has absolutely everything on the line... Its not even my own season ticket holders that I am worrying about. I would bench my entire starting roster, there is no way in hell im throwing my guys out against a team that is clawing at you with every last bit of gas that they have.

save your wood, dont mess around with a bad beaver

what would that entail though? As far as I have seen, catch and possession limits are higher with no closed seasons. I am not entirely sure how looser regs means better management?

I have never understood the USA's lack of closed seasons...hammering fish while they spawn...but maybe its the warmth and the ability for fish to be able to grow quickly that saves you guys.

hopefully this takes the remaining rotten ice off so i can get on some crapolas this weekend.

sorry. not threatened...species of special concern as populations are on decline. and go ahead try slap me...a hunter with an anti hunting label lol.
