Out West the price of gas has risen quite a bit as of late.

They are saying it is due to the dollar being down (oil sands crude is refined in the US) and the fact one of the big Western oil sands refineries has had an unexpected shutdown for repairs.

And to make things worse the crude wholesalers have not lowered their prices so the refineries are still paying high prices for crude.

Also most of the wholesalers also have refineries so they are using the extra profit from the sale of crude to offset the lower crude prices.

It's a load of crap as far as I'm concerned.

Good article on why we are getting screwed!!

Another front office hire in Leaf land.

The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Friday that the hockey club has hired Jacques Lemaire as a special assignment coach. Lemaire spent the past six seasons with the New Jersey Devils organization as a head coach (2009-10, 2010-11) and most recently as a special assignment coach.

 

Lemaire, 69, has coached more than 1,200 games between Montreal, New Jersey and Minnesota. The LaSalle, Quebec native is an 11-time Stanley Cup champion – winning eight times as a player, twice as an assistant general manager and once as a head coach. Lemaire is a two-time winner of the Jack AdamsTrophy as the NHL’s coach of the year and also won an Olympic gold medal with Team Canada while serving as an assistant with head coach Mike Babcock.

“Obviously Jacques Lemaire has a wealth of experience. We had a great relationship from the 2010 Olympics and I’ve asked him to join our staff to help me and the rest of our coaches within the entire organization be the best they can be,” said Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock.

As a player, Lemaire spent his entire NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens. He’s a former two-time NHL all-star and one of only six NHL players to have scored two Stanley Cup winning goals. Lemaire was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1984.

 

I wouldn't paint it either Dave,it will fade. Wonder if they make that for a I/O mercriuser motor/outdrive ?

I guess I could remove the paint and polish the prop if it performs properly on my boat.

A shiny prop would be pretty!!!

Could be something as simple as a bad sensor or something as big as a piston or bearing issue.

Get it into your dealer ASAP and they will probably fix it under warranty since it only just expired!!!

You gonna go home and put on a moovee so you can test them out?

Over the years I have caught many lakers over 20#'s in Lake O.

Back in the 90's when the Ganny had epic fall laker runs due to the stocking there it was not uncommon to get several over 20 in a few hours in the evening. Also have caught lots in Western Lake O but the biggest (in the mid 30's) came off Pt. Credit in August after a North blow.

Having said that, compared to our Arctic Lakers they fight like wet socks!!!

Was on my local trader site earlier today and came across a prop that should work well on my rig.

Brand new Mercury High Five stainless prop (painted finish).

12 3/4" 20P for 75-125HP outboards.

It's going to need a paint job. can't be having a blue prop on my nice black engine.

Oh yeah, the price?

$140!!!!

Wowza 43 pounds, isn't that about the size of the trout up that way? Did you lose one?

You mean like this 42#er?

Man that sucks!!!

It's one of the things I worry about when I have my pooch out at the lake.

There are plenty of wolves and bears in the area.

My neighbour told me he saw a dozen on the ice there this past winter.

Every time he goes off exploring I worry.

Usually he just walks up to the neighbours cabin 300 yards away but he has gone close to a mile around the bay before.

Yep, deeper lake equals smoother chop.

I was thinking the same thing lol.Doesn't bad weather start in September/October?.

Freeze up is in mid October.

Need to be done by the end of September so I can catch the epic laker and pike bite that happens in October.

No joist hangers at the tie ins? Just asking, maybe not required, I really don't know. We have always had then engineered and built off site.

Yeah if you're not converting to CD I would get a real turntable.

While there are serious audiophile units out there these units are lest money and bulletproof.

They sound good too.

Every club I ever worked in had a pair.

1/2 way there!!!!

Will raise a few more after dinner.

If I were you Dave I would light a match to that thing and start over and do it right. Or win the Lotto Max, finish it and donate that mess to all OFC members. Yea, I like that plan. By the way when is the first OFC G2G up there in God's country? I think I can rough it in that "Cabin" for a few months.

 

I really wish I had known about this DIY project before. My sis-in-laws closest friend is a Sr. Producer with Shaw Media. I was telling sis about this and she peeked into your thread. She said they would have jumped on this for a new reality show that is actually quite un real.

That's all I would need, a film crew slowing me down to a crawl!!!

Hopefully the rafters will all be up before I head home on Sunday.

Back to work on Monday.

Got 4 more rafters up after dinner.

When I win 50 mill next friday wanna build my camp?

 

 

Give me 1/2 and I'm in!!!

Only my mutt is here and he's no help really.

Except he lets me know when Yogi is in the hood!!!

Cleaned up all my construction debris and whipped up a set of temporary stairs for gettin' in and out of the crib!!!

No more climbing the ladder to get in and out.

Vacation is over this weekend so you'll have to wait between posts, come Monday I'm back @ work relaxing!!!!
