Totally legal if not loaded while underway Pete. Now the 911 calls for a "nutcase on a bike with a gun" are going to be another thing in todays society !!

Unless you live in the North where it's common place.

Even when I lived near Orangeville I would walk down my road with my gun slung over my shoulder (unloaded) while walking to my hunting grounds. In Yellowknife it is the rule rather than the exception to see someone driving through town on their quad or snowmobile toting a firearm.

Not only the quality of the beans but the quality of the roast are important.

I have seen too many places serve expresso made with inferior quality beans (bad roasting job) that I am very picky about my beans. I have been buying imported beans (from Italy) recently as our only local bean roaster has changed and the beans are no longer up to my standards. Can't remember the name of the beans I've been getting but I don't have a clue what the packaging says as it's all in Italian.

They are packaged in a good thick foil package and make a pretty decent cup of expresso.

I am looking forward to the day when I can upgrade my grinder and machine. I want a Rancilio Silva expresso machine and Rancilio Rocky grinder.

I'll gladly take one at wholesale if you gots.

Looks like your typical sailboater.

I like the ones that run on sail in Toronto's inner harbour where they're supposed to be under power.

Or the ones in Port Credit that set up their race course right off the river mouth in August!!!

We used to run my buddies 36 foot Hateras out into the middle of their course and drift when they did that. Could'nt understand why they got so ticked off.

Have you tried C4 and some Det cord?

And people wonder why the states is in trouble..............she's probably one of your elected officials

Ok this is too funny.

My wife worked there for a time and I never heard of this, though the service wasn't very good, like most places in Yellowknife tbh, they were one of the busiest franchises in the country.

They still are stupidly busy.

If the owner had 1/2 a brain he would open another downtown and it would be just as busy.

Personally I don't go in there because I don't drink regular coffee and am staying away from all those carb filled treats in there.

Might have to pick up a pack of timbits for the road when I leave for Alaska in 3 weeks though.

There are always long lines at the counter and drive through but they are no slower than most of the Timmies in Ontario that I have been too. They may have stepped up their service a notch or two since you were here though.

Now the McDonalds in town may as well be a sit down restaurant as they have got to be the slowest on the planet. (I don't go there much either)

I would buy four of these vents and mount 2 in the flip down door and two in the top of the compartment. I would use the 5X9 inch versions to let as much air through as possible. You can just rivet them in place once you make the cut out for them.

Did you remember to open the lock on the other side of the window casing?

I did that once, felt like a dunce too.

What are your options?

This is my solution to the expensive cost of good coffee.

Sure the equipment was a little spendy and it took a while to get the grinding/brewing process down but now I make as good an espresso or moccha as any coffee house and it doesn't cost $5 a cup!!!

Love Timmy's coffee but I noticed a medium in Canada is the same as our small here in the USA for about the same amount of money....does CN Timmy's have a small because if they do it can't be more then 4 or 5 ounces...

 

BTW I notice a small difference in price here depending on what Timmy's you go to....best bargain is getting a "Senior" coffee with your own mug....

Seems every takeout joint in the states has bigger drinks (hence the growing population ). Take BK for instance a small drink there is the size of a medium in Canada, a medium in the US is a Canadian large and a Yankee large drink is a 45 gallon drum with a length of 5/8" garden hose for a straw and doesn't exist in Canada.

I think you have that backwards Dave...

With only $175 you ain't gonna get a good hooker an ok one but not one of them high $$$$ jobs.

That's why you need the good tequila!!!!

I believe it's $175 Terry.

For a hundred and seventy five bucks I'd rather get a cheap hooker and a nice bottle of Tequila!!!

It depends.

Does the tank have an externally plumbed vent?

If it does then there is no issue.

If it doesn't there is a problem.

Thanks for the advice. I bought the Nautilus from CT but there's a problem I didn't anticipate. The prongs on the wires from the trolling motor are much wider than the connections on the battery so it's hard to keep them attached.

 

Was the battery supposed to come with wing nuts or something to hold the prongs in place on the connections?

Yes, there should have been a small bag attached to the handle with two wing nuts in it.

If you didn't get them just go back to CT and tell them.

Well it is impaired operation of a vessel...no different than driving a lawn tractor or golf cart drunk

Completely different if you ask me as the lawn tractor and golf cart are powered by motors while the peddle boat is human powered. Next thing you will see is somebody charged for being drunk while riding an innertube down the credit.

Look outside it's dark.....Oh, wait, you're in Yellowknife

Just checked, looks like they left the lens cap on.

Browsing tonight and this brought back some great memories. I miss partying with Frankie and the boys, back stage at Humber College 1979 - 1981 on Thursday nights. RIP Frankie, another I thought that it wouldn't be Cancer that bit in the ass.

 

Frankie and the boys were a staple at Sheridan back in those days too.

Nice day for a party, isn't it?

RIP Frankie V.

You can leave them in parallel the charger is smart enough to know what is what when you hook the leads up. There will be one set of leads for each battery (my 3 bank charger has them marked 1,2 and 3 (pos and neg for each)).

HMMMMMMM...................How about Nubian Princess?

Actually, you gotta picture? Might help with the naming thing.

The 3 bank charger is very expensive. Yes....it's nice to be able to recharge 3 batteries at the same time however...these multibank chargers work in such a way that each battery is charged for a short time one after another. This may mean that it will take 3 times longer to recharge 3 batteries than if you had 3 less expensive chargers that are each charging 1 battery.

Not expensive when it's on sale.

I paid $125 for mine.

While I do have it hooked to all 3 batteries in my rig it is generally only charging the 2 that run my TM. It fully charges in short order and keeps the starting battery fully topped up as a bonus, plus I can leave it plugged in all the time and not have to worry about pulling the batteries in the winter now.

I have that exact charger, it does fine with a deep cycle battery. I use it all the time when charging the battery for my pontoon.

 

+1 on buying a new battery with a warranty.

I also have this same charger and it works fine.

On my boat I have the Nautilus 3 bank onboard charger and it also works extremely well.

+2 on the new battery.

Why does he need a converter? maybe just lucky but on my last 6 vehicles,never needed them.

Separate brake and turn signals on tow vehicle to combined turn/brake signals on trailer.
