I’m very happy that I went out and got that brad nailer for the compressor. I went out this morning and got some more of the wood that I used to make my daughters doll beds and started on my son's toy box with all this 50+ year old old wood I got from my father. Here’s what I made.

HAHA, I purged most of mine that I didn't use (well, rod's and reels that is).

I'm still thinking of the 'boots' on both or not to. my wife is very happy with it and well, my daughter won't get back to me about it until Christmas. As per our conversation about the white wash vs. full white paint. my wife is going to paint it pink with the left over paint from when we painted my daughters room.

Tks Jacques! Next up is a toy box for my son with some 50-year old + wood.

As a safety thing I wouldn't bother with that heater unless you know it's going to get DAMN cold. If it does get that bad then use the marine batt. but that's just me.

all that's left is to add the base for the mattress, sand and paint.

Yes, recessed holes was/is the plan. I may double up the wood at the head and foot of the bed so I can drill through/into both so it's not as weak. Thanks for the reminder in the dowel cuts!

I’m going to get back at it this weekend. How deep should I drill the holes for the dowel that is going to act as the headboard and footboard?

Roy, can this thread be stuck now? It's been 17 days since you said it needed 15 more days... See you at the VU! or out on the water...

I know it wasn't a shot at me and if it was then the 'shot taker' needs to wake up and re-read the whole post. In fact, if fisher12 and his folks are close to me and I can get them out fishing the the offer is open. Provided I can get out (problem 1 right now is boat boats are put to be for the season). The BEST advise I can give is this. Use a darter jig and a 4" grub in a natural colour for ANY and ALL decent size fish. Then again, if they have a boat and want to get out and or shore fish in my area it's a whole new game...

Not me. I sure don't as I gave the best advise I could. That was "go to a shop you ARE going to purchase from and ask for info and they may give you pointers/spots too" or something close to that. I stand by my words. If fisher12 was to go to walmart he/she would learn 0 from them. If he/she goes to "local tackle shop" he/she would learn what to use and when and where in the area. Just saying...

There are more then 10 cars where you are Drifter?!?!?! I know you are North (as in NWT) but you have snow and others around you at this time of year?!?!?!?! Where are the bears and...ah heck I'll stop now...

That could have been my fault. It's only Oct 21 now and I wish it was Nov 19 tomorrow.

if you can make a beer like Guinness, please do make some. G is right and the fish AND beer god's will be happy. to bad it's only Oct. 21 right now...

Sounds like a plan.

NICE! We'll work something out and tell G.B. to show up too.

PS, should I bring my gear to work next week? LOL

thanks Fidel (even thought we have yet to meet face to face) I appreciate it. And there is no problem with the "rama" lures to use as a search bait...

LOL. I wasn't sure if TJ was buying at the sportsman show and I missed it. *edit* I think Dave Mercer should get a BEER sponsor and have them come to the shows too!

what kind of stick was it? Ugly Stick, Carrot Stick, Maple Stick?

to be honest, best bet is to GO to a local tackle shop that you ARE going to buy from and ask for help. You never know, they may tell you a spot ro 2 to try as well...

Hey all. Anyone hear from G.B. AKA SNAG in the past while? CCMT and I both tried to get a hold of him and couldn't. I know he's left the job he was at for a long time and took on something new so I don't have any of his info anymore to touch base. I need to get a TO Pike fix in with him again. PM me if you know how I can reach out to G.B. AKA SNAG. Thanks. Geoff

Wait one second, the free info I get BUT who is giving out the free beer? Can you tell class sucks tonight

I was waiting for that...

I don't recall how I found the site to be honest but I'm glad I did. I have learned a lot and met many great people along the way. I just wish the "hook up's" section was still here as I've been lucky to fish with a few people from the site. Now that skeeter's back he's already PM'ing me to get back out fishing... Heck, I even got a job because of this site! Shhh, my boss with probably read this when I'm done then give me a look like haha. I come back every day to see what everyone has been up to and look at the great fish porn too. Tiller? Console? Marshmallows? It's all good. Thanks TJ and crew!
