Great job Sinker, The first shot with the checker plate, I thought oh no he used steel! Then the next pic I could tell it was aluminum! Great rebuild! Rob C

And that is why I stopped joining the OFAH, just got sick of all the emails and mailings all the time. Rob

Good Luck Nick, although I don't think you need it. You don't get opportunities unless you are good at what you do. Every opportunity happens for a reason, good or bad, you will definitely learn from it. Good for you for trying something new, a lot of people wouldn't even think about trying it. Rob C

I own an F-150 and I like the truck, but like with most others have had my fair share of recalls and stupid repairs that are for the most part ridiculously priced. I worked for Magna for 11 years as a toolmaker and then 5 years in process engineering before switching careers and now teaching high school shop. When at Magna, I was treated well considering it was a non unionized environment. With regards to quality in vehicles, I dealt with Ford, Honda, GM, and Chrysler. Honda's quality and the way they deal with quality issues was far more superior to the North American automaker's. The bottom big the barrel for me was Chrysler, you couldn't get me to buy anything they had to do with. I always thought they had great design to their products but the quality just isn't there. Within my family we have three Toyota Camrys and they have been great cars for us. Would I buy another F-150? Probably because I like the size and comfort, just hope to hell I don't end up with a lemon! Rob C

I took a battery core back to Costco and they gave me the tax back. Not sure why CTV needs to pissed customers off for that. It's your money. Rob C

Milwaukee all the way, actually thinking about getting the 12AH High output battery for next year. Those brushless motors work great and even with 28" of ice she bores right through. Rob C

Twas a great time! I thought it looked like a scene from Nightmare on Elm Street out there! Rob C

Glad you enjoyed it Dave, the "fish Whisperer" aka BB, was the Slay master today, He he topped 12 whities on the ice today. So now he needs to get rid of the BB! I'm definitely up for some Erie fishing this summer. Will be in touch! Rob C

That was a great day out there again Brian. Nice to meet you Dave, hope you made er home safe and not too late, ya got some fish to clean there! Rob C

Ok I got it figured out David, I had the original card and should have been using an updated card. Thanks David Rob C

Hey David, I have an Elite 5 bundle Navionics, I got with my lowrance elite 5 unit. When I try to get the update it says "it is not eligible for further update as it is expired" How do I proceed from here? Rob C

I have the 12v/110v Foodsaver sportsman vacuum. It works great, got it at Costco on sale for $69. Wait for the bags to go on sale at Costco as well. They give you lots of bags for about $30 Rob C

Glad to hear you found him and what your looking for! Might just take a trip down to see Phil as well as get some of the lures off of him! Rob

I am pretty sure I have met Phil, kind of an eccentric guy, but very nice and passionate about fishing. He use to make a lure called the Predator that I would use for lakers and salmon and always had luck with them. Then you couldn't buy them anymore. So like Chris i did some digging around and found his name and number and gave him a call. He told me if I wanted to come down to his shop in Toronto, he would "hook me up". I went there and we talked for a couple of hours and I left there with a box of those lures and and a bunch of different attraction decals to put on them. Still have some of those lures. I can't remember exactly where he was but it was in the Rexdale/Mississauga area. Keep at it Chris, you will find what you are looking for. Edit: Found this on Phil: COMPANY NAME: L.
