When I needed to replace my chains I just got a set of these from BPS. Love the spring clips on them. http://www.basspro.com/Trailer-Safety-Chains-with-Spring-Clips/product/1108311649143/

Things are getting interesting in Leaf Land. http://www.tsn.ca/report-leafs-close-to-signing-g-enroth-1.532102

Good day at the cabin today. Temps were perfect, bugs were not around and only a passing shower this afternoon. Got nearly all of the porch roof rafters up. If the weather holds I should be able to get some sheathing done tomorrow.

Why am I still alive then?

Lost most of yesterday to rain, but got some stuff done today. All the decking is down and the roof framing has started. Looks like a bunch more rain over the next 3 days though. Hopefully get the rest of the posts tied into the cabin tomorrow so I can start work on the roof rafters. Need to get the sheathing down so I can measure and order my roofing.

Yes, No ISIS attacks in Northern BC as far as I know.

You mean these ones? That say SPF40 on the site? https://safishing.com/faceshields/

Keep an eye on their page a couple of weeks ago they only had the 350 Yammy. They had a couple of 200's earlier in the year.

What is the shaft length on your motor? Bridgeview marine in BC gets lease returns all the time from their lodge clients. They currently have 2 150hp Verados for $6K each but they are 25" XL motors. OH, and don't worry about getting it out to you. I bought my new 115 4 stroke from them and they shipped it to me. Cost $700 for shipping but I still saved over $3K if I bought locally. http://bridgeviewmarine.com/product-category/boat-engines-outboards/used-boat-engines/

That does sound pretty costly to me. You could look into the cost of a new motor and see how much difference the cost would be to upgrade to newer tech. All 3 of those cylinders seem low on compression. My '91 2 stroke Merc was about 120 psi on each cylinder when I sold it in 2013.

Not this deck. Plan is to eventually have another deck off the front which will be connected to the side deck with a screened in octagonal gazebo.

Just about done the decking and then I can frame up the roof over it.

And that is the only video you’ll find about the whole thing because no media was invited. It was just about putting smiles on kids faces. What a beauty.

From what I read the guy was not there at the time. It was in Northern BC. Looks like the grizz was being territorial as it also destroyed his out house!!!

Well now!!! I may not have been a big fan of Kessel when he played for the Leafs but I will say the man is a heck of a guy!!!! http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/phil-kessel-stanley-cup-1.3684253

So you thought you would go out and get yourself a nice little camper as you like to camp but there are many bears in your area and you don't feel safe in a tent. Good thought, but it seems that nice little camper isn't much of a deterrent to a bear!!!!! They only seem safer!!!

Buff covers my ears.

Way ahead of ya Dan. Going to purchase a 85 psi 7,600 GPH pump that will feed agricultural sprinklers mounted on the roof and around the cabin. It will also be used to fill my domestic water tank.

Here are some more shirts like the ones I wear in extreme heat. Especially when fishing in the tropics. Long sleeves always so my forearms don't get BBQ'd!!! http://shop.toplevelshirts.com/ref/17/

All is good. It's many miles away. Fire guys are mainly working to keep it from spreading West back towards town and my cabin.

After yesterdays gusty and heavy winds the fire is now 15706 acres.

Starting to look like some kind of deck thing. We also have a large wildfire burning about 25 miles away to the SE. It started Thursday evening and has grown to 6,500 acres in a day. Don't know how much it's grown today.

I wear the kind of shirts they do down in the tropics along with a face mask and long billed hat. These guys have a bunch of stuff and some pretty decent sales too. The long sleeve shirts actually breathe really, really well and it feels like you are shirtless but they have great UV stopping power. Same deal with the face shields. There are plenty of other manufacturers of this type of clothing as well. Last time I was in Florida I went to the Tampa boat show and got a bunch of shirts off a friend of a friend for a really good price.

Little more productive day today. Still as hot as yesterday but there's a good wind and some clouds to knock down the killer rays.
