So how are we going to launch or boats?
AKRISONER replied to captpierre's topic in General Discussion
Announced today parts are going to be open very soon should things keep trending the right direction!!! We’re in business baby! -
Wild leak...just confirming this is the same as a ramp right? my good buddy harvested an absolute pile of em yesterday. So jealous, he even offered to drop me some off but I’m not at home right now. pickled ramps are one of the most delicious vegetables I’ve ever eaten...mmmm

Big risk in owning illegal firearms, you’ll never know the day when a police officer shows up in your house for whatever reason. guys the OP has asked that this being about informing people, do him a favour and keep the memes and trudeau bashing out of here. create your own thread to get locked elsewhere.

Outboard - Trim Seal Spanner Wrench - HELP!
AKRISONER replied to AKRISONER's topic in General Discussion
Well guys, I pulled it off, but it wasn’t without a few hiccups, like any project. two things were a problem 1. I had a very difficult time getting the fluid into the system. Every time I initiated filling the reservoir tank it would all shoot back out. A lucky stumble across a YouTube video had a guy recommend using the trim up to get fluid into the pump and rams. I tried blipping the pump up while dumping fluid and it worked perfectly. 2. The cap on the reservoir on my Yamaha is plastic and I quickly learned the hard way that it’s extremely difficult to get sealed. It’s either cross threaded, over tight, or not tight enough. The problem is id fill the reservoir and then try to put the cap on but then would overtighten or under tighten ever so slightly and then drop the motor manually and as the motor hit the rams it would shoot fluid out through the cap. What a pain in the ass it was trying to figure all of this stuff out while manually dropping my 130hp engine and then having to lift it up again by hand. My back is bloody toast. Eventually I got used to tightening the reservoir cap just so and it seemed to magically work in 3 tries. the dust seal on the ram that was leaking had definitely seen better days. Everything else looked pretty good. also I didn’t realize how extensively I needed to use the trim pressure bypass to lift and drop the motor constantly. If anyone ever needs help with this shoot me a message and I will break it down in full detail step by step. -
Careful with Ernie! didnt know Limber tail was a thing until I saw my buddies dog get it in the spring. It was clearly very uncomfortable for the dog and took a few days to go away!

Speculating but I think they realize the financial impact that missing one of the four long weekends in a summer can have on marinas etc. I think dougie wants to give those businesses a break and get them running before the long weekend. im getting tired of working on my boat and not launching it lol...that first tank of gas is gonna be gonnnneeeee lol -
According to Mike his son accessed the river from the municipal parking lot beside the legion in Caledonia. I’m not certain but I don’t believe he violated any rules by standing in the river. Hence the lack of explanation by the police when an adult showed up and questioned them. just my opinion here, but a kid standing alone in a river that he accessed through a public parking lot that is open, and someone calling the police is absolutely ridiculous. could you imagine calling the police on a kid standing in a river alone fishing...pandemic or not??? Sheesh

saturday we had a crazy hatch of some kinda midges, i ate one when a breeze blew one in my open mouth lol...not that that helped me catch any trout at all lollll

i dont blame the police for not knowing every single law especially as it relates to corona virus. I primarily blame the people that cant mind their own business and waste the police's time and resources by calling the cops on a kid standing in a river alone fishing. You gotta be some kinda person to do that...Ive got some great descriptive words but they arent allowed here lol. Unfortunately these situations are not common at all. My buddies on the weekend were out in the credit casting a particular drift and a home owner tried to ask them to move and when my buddy ignored his request to simply attempt to avoid any confrontation the guy decided to turn it into an argument. He told my buddy dave that he was tresspassing and Dave's reply was that he could assure the guy that as a fisherman he is careful to review the rules and ensure that he is not breaking any laws. The guy then threatened to call the authorities and Dave invited him to and said "go ahead but it was in the guys best interest to not waste the police's time."

Hey everyone, long time no chat!
AKRISONER replied to Dave Bailey's topic in Non-Outdoors Open Discussion
Anyone else get the wrong idea when Dave said he’s been all over the Internet on plastic modeling sites lmao. -
Important to note he started filming it when he asked the police to provide an explanation as to why they were telling his son that what he was doing was “illegal” the police then wouldn’t provide any explanation or their identification to Mike so he began to film them and they proceeded to walk away from him.

It’s become wildly apparent after seeing what Mike Borger and his son went through on the weekend the whole Coronavirus prevention thing has become a giant pissing match. (Super high level overview, borgers teenage son was fishing alone standing in the grand and had the police called on him...more ensued and If you care to know look on Facebook) People are growing increasingly agitated and the age of social media has provided an avenue for them to release their frustration. At the end of the day, everyone is going to take wildly different levels of precaution when it comes to all aspects of their life. Just like some people would never drive a bass boat 100kmh or a snowmobile 160kmh across a lake, people are going to consider their risk tolerance and make the decision for themselves as to what they deem appropriate. There are laws in place and if you aren’t breaking the law then people should consider holding off on calling the police or being hyper critical. The common consensus though is that we should all understand by this point that we should be staying the heck away from anyone that doesn’t reside within your houshold. I know multiple people violating that rule and it’s disappointing to say the least. when it comes to stay home measures, I think the best approach is a common sense one. First of all, whatever you do just make sure you aren’t interacting with people unnecessarily. Second of all, protect yourself, consider the surfaces you touch and wash your damn hands! while some are critical of others for going out fishing or moving around a bit outside, I’m sure I have the opportunity to be entirely critical of their sanitation practices when they complete their essential shopping. Where I take certain measures to the extreme (I.e. when I shop I wear a mask and gloves, I bring sanitizing wipes and wipe absolutely every surface I touch immediately I then bring my groceries home and wipe every item down with sanitizing wipes, it’s a whole damn process and a pain in the you know what!) others may not consider such drastic actions but then will criticize me driving to a local river to fish. i think we need to focus on the real problem people, the deniers, the misinformation spreaders, the anti government/anti coronavirus law protestors, the rude unsanitary clueless jerks that seem to think that the line up outside the grocery store doesn’t apply to them. Focus your energy on them, they are the real problem, the other 99% of us are doing a pretty damn good job. The stats so far are telling us as such. If you want to spend time roasting people, go and find one of the idiots screaming about this thing being a total scam and focus your energy there. They are far more dangerous than other 99% of us who are doing our best while trying to maintain our mental stability living in our new reality.

Sometimes people forget that lobbying is 100% legal in the United States therefore allowing money to define political action. in this case you have a significant amount of industries that are willing to fill the pockets of governors and law makers for the purpose of ensuring their business can move forward again regardless of the human consequences. im not a conspiracy theorist personally but the total coincidence that when the commodity traded by the wealthiest companies in the United States Of American dipped into negative territory that multiple governors then immediately turned 180 and began action to immediately re-open the economy without any consideration for the potential negative health impacts. I’m glad in canada it’s already been determined that a gentle roll back of quarantine measures will be the approach rather than a 100% immediate re-opening. It’s always safer to spot your jump before taking the leap.

Was announced today that opening parks is part of the first “phase” of covid restriction reduction. So that’s about as good of news as we can get. I think May 2-4 might be the target but I’m just speculating. -
Got skunked two days in a row...I suck at fly fishing. does that count lol

All rappers are thugs that shoot eachother just like all rockstars are alcoholic drug addict loners lol

Honestly not a fan of this dude at all lol. His whole anti lil xan tirade was sooo lame. Reminds me of the masta ace line on aknowledge “and now these cats wanna take shots on the low, these xfl rappers tryin ta F with a real pro”

Ya...cause it costs more than that for a set of truck tires and a tank of gas these days lol...I’m pretty sure a set of Canadian tire tires for my truck will cost me $1,500 the last time I looked.

Iron, you’d be a fan of Curren$y his entire rap persona is built around “Cruise life”. Precisely what you describe above. one of my favourite lyrics of all time that he raps, “I just drive like that to protect my rims, I ain’t slow” he has multiple albums about cars, at the drive in, Saturday night car tunes, parking lot music...etc etc etc check this song you can perhaps connect with this lyric Johnny “The bro Cellski left the green door open I'm in the Nova, that 383 stroking Gas or that cash flow, that's what keep me going” you may have more in common with a guy with baggy clothes than you’d think lol part of the problem with car culture is the absolute insane inflation of pricing on vehicles and even worse the absolute over complication of vehicles. I was lucky enough to grow up in pretty much the very last generation of manageable cars that you could do something with the engine without needing a PhD in automotive engineering. After 2007-8ish that was the end of straight in line dual overhead cam engines that allowed for tuner culture to explode. Until that year it wasn’t a big deal throw a cold air intake, intercooler and turbo on those cars and flash em and add 80 horsepower to a 2000lb car in a weekend. Jeez I remember when I switched cars my buddies took all of the aftermarket parts on my car including the entire stereo system in an afternoon. Two 12 inch subwoofers in the trunk you could hear me coming from two blocks away. I didn’t even drive fast or race, I just had big ass 18inch blades on the sedan, thing had about 4 inches of clearance it was so slammed. Rear wheels tucked the entire tire. I did all of this crap and I didn’t even know anything about cars or grow up in a garage or any of that. It was just simple nuts and bolts. If you could undo the bolts on your suspension you could throw coilovers in the thing and go get an alignment at Canadian tire for $80 and you were looking crazy. things have changed terribly. Jesus Christ Iron, to change a friggin bulb on my truck I had to take the entire front end of my truck off! i get that new headlight tech and fuel efficiency blah blah blah makes cars better but come on, you can’t tell me making it impossible for the average person to change their headlight bulb without visiting the stealership for $130 an hour wasn’t intentional. Drives me absolutely insane

flying squirel nest in my outboard, what to do?

Any plans for how you keep her out next year? Also how In the hell did she getting inside the cowling?! -
i personally miss the hip hop thread lol we rattled some cages with that one.

if I was on simcoe youd have yourself a deal, unfortunately 20 perch outta gbay still might not net you 2lbs of meat lol I did my crappie tacos the same way i do all of my fish now unless im cooking it straight over a fire. Crappie triple dipped in a flour seasoning salt and chilli powder. Soft tortilla, tomato, jalapeno, cabbage slaw with apple cider vinegar dressing, chipotle mayo, chipotle hot sauce, and a squeeze of lime.
-
lol once had a guy tell me that "theres no fish in the entire area" when i was fishing in a small cove near his cottage, sure enough as he finished his sentence a 3lb smallmouth crushed my topwater lol
-
crappies most certainly do not group by size at all from my experience. youll catch a 4 incher and catch a 13 incher right after. Just a matter of finding those 10 inch eaters.
