Yep, if people (workers) knew their history they would be afraid of a land without unions. For those that say my work doesn't have a union and they do fine....in most cases your doing fine because the unions exist. forrest PS......not even sure why I am posting...this is just going to end up in an argument

I did not mean to give the wrong impression about the state of the paint. I agree with the other guys that the looks are of little importance. Iff you saw the dents in my car it would lend weight to that statement forrest

Nice little boat to keep on the water! Looks in good condition (aside from paint) and you can't beat the price! Maybe Rapala will give you enough stickers to cover the hull forrest

I heard the net pens were for bass and walleye.

My list of reasons would include: -Would it be easier to get a car salvage barge out on the lake? -dragging trucks out of a lake cant be too good for the bottom. -"uh...I can't remember how many trucks went down or where they were" -Why procrastinate? -"who left their truck in the water right in the way of my lower unit?"

There is no way that pike is 5, 9 and 159lbs. Is there a known answer to be posted? forrest

Well Clampit?

It is on the net. It weighs nothing, OK....the light emitting the pic weights a little.

And here I was thinking you were lousy at bragging

I only posted what was sent to me , however, if there was a poster that repeated "new PB" more than anyone else I would bet it was CCMT

Ooops...sorry if I missed an email to me. I was not deciding who to include and not include and there are so many posters there will be more that did not make it in the thread. I always read Snag's stuff, they are never unentertaining (they are some of the best), I love his stuff too! here are a couple of Snag posts that stuck in my mind: http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...mp;#entry272588 http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...mp;#entry251885

At the end of 2008 I posted a request for best 2008 posts and wanted to set up some kind of vote. A lot of people referred to great repeat posters but there were not many specifics given. It was agreed that there are a lot of good posts, pics and fish in 2008 and that it would be unfair to say anyone was the best. Maybe next year there will be actual firm categories I received a few PMs. So if you want to see what others thought were notable in 2008 here is the original thread and links to a few other threads submitted by OFNers: Thread: http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...mp;#entry281810 Leechman for his "2008 Full Report - Outaouais, From Hard to Soft Water until Now http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...c=25729&hl= MooseBunk for his " The Arctic Expedition., Great Bear Lakers & Tree River Char.

I would like to join but would be hesitant if GCD got to use his "special H" lure. GCD knows what I mean....your a strange man. forrest

Good to hear things look good so far. you may never know exactly what happened and it may never happen again. The brain/blood system is a strange thing. forrest

See Terry is all for it. I do not hear anyone seconding GCDs "My Bleeding Hermorrhoids" ad on. GCD I dunno about you. Why would you use your Hermorrhoids for fishing. I think that would hurt. I pray you are not thinking of making a sequel to that Bass video: http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=27337 because that would hurt all of us forrest

People listen here.....but at FF.net? I could not imagine that happening here. The site is too well supported and has concern for the people who visit. forrest PS: I will still be able to register there, won't I?

Great clip...best I have seen.

OK...one more category. Float fishing.

They ate everything else

OFC category? Float fishing. That site has been screwed up for weeks and the admins have done nothing to protect their users. Nice. Real nice. I guess I am ticked because I wasted 20 minutes trying to register on the site, sent the admin an email and got no response. Anyone listening? forrest

Very cool site. I like the recoveries with the stories. The billable (?) hours on one of those recovery pages was 295 hours!!! That was for a 4x4 frozen into the surface (is 296 a typo?). Insurance covers this? forrest

Had to deal with this once before so I KNOW the answer: I would get a few more newfie's

Why complicate things? Like the guy at radio shack is going to sell solder without flux. Heck, I never bought solder without flux. KISS is the method required here. There is no need for purchasing a Weller or a solder wick, flux or fume removing equipment. If Hirk bought all the stuff he "needs" he would be better of buying a new cable. I am starting to like that "connector method" more an more. forrest

I am thinking the above standards are too high for this application and the materials available to the person doing the work. Tybo is right about the flex thing, make the area rigid and a bit of slack to reduce stress on it. Never had to use extra flux (there is flux in the solder) unless I totally botched the soldering job, in this case forge the flux, cut the wire and start again...... I have cleaned the wire with alcohol if I had too. Work with a cheap iron is OK....if you are careful. Yes, I have done a lot of good soldering work and yes, Good enough to build an stereo amplifier and and a laser based comm system on circuit boards I made myself. Using different size of wire can be a potential problem with data transfer wires, I do not know about the 200Khz range). As long as you upsize for a patch it will be OK for the low voltage. Its a lousy few wires. Within reason, work with what you have and it will work out. forrest

"bleeding" baits are a scam?
