    Dillon laid out Duclair real good in the sens game tonight, clean hit but he was vulnerable for sure. Right away Tkachuk goes over and has a little chat. Later Brady made sure he finished good and hard on a Karlsson hit. Message sent.  As a Sens fan and an old time hockey guy I'm loving the fact that our top line winger is tough as nails just like the rest of his family and has no problem backing it up. He's getting real good on face offs too, they're not shy to use him on his strong side. In fact he set the family record tonight for fewest games to 25 goals, beating out his old man by 5 games. That is huge bragging rights in that household...

     

    Cheers

    Yeah, was a fun game to watch.

    Bodies flying everywhere!!!  :thumbsup_anim:

    I was lucky enough to have a friend give me a Classic Accessories Madison pontoon boat. I haven't had it in the water yet, but I was wondering what's the best anchor to use? The boat will probably split time between lakes and trout streams. 

    I use a homemade 12# pyramid anchor.

    It's like this one only it was free because I had the lead and made my own mold.

    FYI, you should pick up the proper anchor system from the manufacturer for raising and lowering the anchor.

    It makes life much easier.

    The stocking was done 30 years ago, the bass only started appearing 2 years ago. To date we have found 3. There are no bodies of water to migrate from.

    After the 1996 tornado in Grand Valley we had a 3# smallie end up in the backyard about 20' from our pond.

    It did not come from our pond. It most likely came from either Luther Marsh or Damascus Reservoir to the West of us.

    If it had dropped a couple of seconds earlier it may have lived in the pond.  😁

    I got it. Nice dock job. I need to get me one of those guns on the deck. 30 or 50 Cal. Then I would never have to wait in line to launch or dock. At my age and since my Bladder Cancer scare I know every public washroom from here to Hamilton and back. And every not so public dumpster box. I carry a big screw top plastic jug now. I've been stuck in traffic too many times. Now when I gotta go I gotta go 2 minutes ago, no holding it these days, impossible. I always carry a change of clothes in the car, truck, boat and in my Golf bag. One day I needed 2 changes on the way to T.O. airport. That's when I started carrying the plastic jug. A few years ago Big Louie The Dutchman got stuck in downtown T.O. with his wife, he had to go so he got out and went. What are ya' gonna' do? I don't have to tell what Linda said to the poor lout. At least it wasn't a 2 pile!! When I have a bout of diarrhea now I do not leave the house, ever. Experience is a lifetime of mistakes, wisdom is not repeating them. 

    If you're over 50 NEVER trust a fart!!!! 😂

    It's hard to blame Hutch when he's always going in a game #2 of a back to back.   Put a team in front of the poor guy.   Maybe 1 of those goals are on him.  The rest?  lol no way.

    Yeah, wasn't his fault.

    The team crapped the bed for a minute and eighteen seconds and the game was lost because of it.

    After a couple of hours. These are pin holes, so leak is slow. I do not carry a manual pump, but will be next season.  Like I said, these are due to my own fault. The way it was sitting in the back of the truck deflated. The frame was bouncing on the toon and well it made pin holes. I use shoe goop or most recently, blue marine caulking. Both work fine.

    Another thing to remember is let some of the air out when it's not in the water.

    Heat from the sun can actually over inflate the bladder and burst it along the seam.

    I always carry my pump along with me. I have inflated the bladders properly on land only to have them get soft in short order due to the cold water.

    This happened to me once. It sucked. Aquaseal worked mint to fix the issue though.

     

    Watched a guy in Alaska have an issue with his toon once.

    He was pulled out on the island across from the launch when Yogi came along and had a taste of one of his pontoons.

    He had his pump with him and managed to make it back to the launch before deflation. ;)
