I will be watching it in 31 minutes.

Now is the perfect time to buy that Hummer you've always wanted. Bank the difference in gas savings and apply it to your repair bills when GM folds and there is nobody there to perform your warrenty work. Everybody wins!

That's devestating news... imagine being caught on a national broadcast clad in Sens gear! We're here for you Jamie, if you need to talk.

Are you kidding me? Those wide hardwood skids are not easy to come by. I just hope that piece of crap on top hasn't damaged it.

Where's the fish? All I see is a cloud shaped like a cormorant lying down.

Hopefully this is an exception and not "the norm". Did you make any inquiries or just wait for it to arrive?

This is a family site... He gets half naked fishing. What do you think happens when he works up a good sweat?

This is why I'm banned from Subaru dealerships.

You're pushing your luck douG. I'm betting that AC unit won't last another 15 years.

Cotton will wick moisture away from your skin but it also retains it - making you cold. Polyesters wick moisture and dry extremely fast - keeping you warm. Wool works nicely as it dries faster than cotton but is bulky. For extreme cold I will be base layering with polyester and insulating with wool or fleece and topping it off with insulated rain gear. http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.ph...&ac=MondayM

Hey Brian, same problem here... I used to go well into January before putting on a coat to perform my (10-15 minutes at a time) outdoor work. Now I'm bundling up and have been since October. I'm sure as Cookslav mentioned you will become acclimated to it... as we all do from late fall to early winter. Us newly 'skinny' guys (lol) are feeling the early chill twice as bad having to adjust to the weight loss. Instead of suffering, I looked hard into dressing for the weather. Most of my solutions came from Mark's Work Warehouse "Windriver" selection. The "NO COTTON" approach really paid off at Quinte! Windriver thermal underpants: $22 Windriver thermal undershirt: $22 Windriver thermal socks (3 pack): $19 Windriver insulated rain pants (30% off): $69 Viking uninsulated rain coat:$69 Kmart hoody: $15 Sorel Glaciers: $129 I was toasty warm and dry for the 4 miserable days we spent at the BOQ and never broke a sweat in temps ranging from -2ish to +10ish C. I also purchased the Windriver insulated rain coat (30% off): $169 but I have to wait for Christmas to get it! Staying warm doesn't come cheap and it sure helped getting advice from others that spend a lot of time in cold climates. (Thanks guys for your PM's) -Brian

Don't mess with the magic on "Trophy Taker"!! June 2008 - Lakair WINNER November 2008 - Bay of Quinte WINNER July-August 2009 - GOSD WINNER????? What's your boat rated for?

I don't know why you'd expect flak over wearing a kilt but I am surprised nobody has commented on the pantyhose and nailpolish.

They could run but they couldn't hide from you Shawn! I think CONFIDENCE is what got you into those fish. You were so confident in your Friday lure selection that you left the rest of your tackle in the truck on Saturday! I had a good time out there and we'll do it again. -Brian

Great report Mike! It was nice seeing you guys again. Hopefully we'll hook up again in the summer but I'm sure we'll see you again next fall. -Brian

Ohhhhhh, you want FISH porn? Disregard that email I sent you. I emailed my pic's to Shawn and Dan... I have to go to work!

We all knew who wore the pants in the family We missed you at BOQ but glad to hear you had a good time! -Brian

There won't be any left by that time - Thursday is going to be the big day.

I hope you're right - it'll be a gong show! If the team still sucks, media relations will be a gas!

- drain plug (good all-season advice) - gas line antifreeze / RV antifreeze for livewells & bildge - rain-ex on your windshield so you don't have to scrape in the morning (esp. handy on curved plastic windshields) - be gentle with your clear side curtains in the cold - don't spin on the ramp (brakes/put in gear/light throttle/ease off brakes) - don't wear cotton as a base layer - don't puke in your buddies new boat

That's not in the cards anytime soon Mike! I really like the CC but I have to admit; fishing last weekend with a full windshield, top and heater took the edge off the skunk!

Regretting the tiller already?

The world would be a far different place if not for brave souls such as your father. A heartfelt thanks to him and others that fought for everything we have today.

Nice shot FnS. Muskiestudd and I are still waiting for Bassmastermike to send us shots from June with the old sign (among other photos). That boy likes his gadgets but someone needs to show him how to use email!! -Brian
