DRIFTER_016

Dredging bottom with a big flatfish works wonders too.

I don't know how big a deal it is. There used to be big die offs every spring after the spawn. I remember the beaches in and around Toronto, Mississauga and Oakville being covered with them in the good old days. There could be an issue but I wouldn't panic until the tests are in. Then by all means, panic away.

You're good to go!! That Class II hitch will be fine for what you're doing.

I have seen them while driving on the 401 near HWY 25. I have also seen a good display in Sturgeon Falls in June. So yeah there is always the chance it depends on solar activity though. As was said, take a look in the middle of the night and maybe you will be lucky. I kind of take them for granted living up in Yellowknife though. We usually are able to see them from late August through March with January and February being best.

It's a 4 stroke right? One of the areas I want to use it is 4 strokes only.

If you look at this wikipedia entry and every where the name John Edwards comes up replace with Dalton McGuinty you will know exactly how I feel about him.

Check with lumber mills in the area. When I lived in Grand Valley we used to buy wood off a wood flooring mill for $70 a dump truck load!!! Delivered!!!! It was a smaller dump truck so we ended up with a pile that filled our 6X6X6 wood bin. Mind you it was all off cuts and they weren't uniform size but we created a covered bin to store it in. Nothing better than kiln dried oak, maple, cherry and walnut fer burning!!!

Not all of us. Some had the sense of mind to get the hell out of Ontario and move to an area where the polititians listen and actually work for the people. Oh, and Mickgwintee should have been drawn and quartered 2 weeks into his first term when he broke every promise he made during the election. But you have only yourselves to blame for re-electing the putz!!!

Free Delivery?

Whities will also come and feed on the surface when the Shad Fly hatch is on.

I've got one, but lugging batteries around in a float plane really eats up your weight limit in a hurry.

Close, but that's a different make and size. I found one made by the company that makes mine in one size smaller on sale for $999 US. I think the value to replace mine is in the $1,200 to $1,500 range.

To post pictures to the site... 1. Upload your pictures to your photobucket account. 2. Resize any pictures you'd like to post to a maximum of 400x600 pixels. Larger pictures distort the forum page and take longer to load. This can be done easily in Photobucket using the "Edit" options. 3. Open your photobucket album and find the photo you want to add. Place your cursor over the picture and a drop down menu will appear. Left click on "IMG Code". This will highlight the address. Now right click on the highlighted address so that "copy" shows. Now left click on "copy" and the picture will be automatically copied to your "clipboard". 4. Go to your post you want to add it to on OFC, right click and "paste" the info. (if you copy the image code, it already has the "img" tags on the address and no further action is needed.) For other photo storage sites that don't install the "img" codes onto your photo addresses, you'll have to add them manually. The "Add BBC tags:" tool bar is at the top of every message dialog below the "Subject" dialog box and the "Message icon". In the lower row, click on the 2nd to the right of the smiley...the "Insert Image" icon(it looks like a small picture). The command [ img][/img] will appear in your text message. Paste the address of your picture between the commands like this; [ img]paste your image location here [ /img] Be sure not to add any spaces or other characters. Preview your post to be sure your picture is there and then choose post.

So our summer temps started yesterday. I've had enough already!!!! Pretty toasty in the sun. Not so bad otherwise, if you can find shade.

HAA HAA!!!!!

Is it still under warranty? I would get in touch with Minnkota. They have always been good to me when I have had issues or questions. I had an issue with the electrical connector on my old Auto Pilot and asked if they had one. They said they should have a used one in a parts bin. They sent it to me a no charge!!! They have all my business for life because of that one phone call.

No kidding!!! It was like looking at an eclipse or welding arc with no eye protection!!!!!!

I did a bit of research and found out that these boats are pretty good quality and to buy its replacement would be over $1000 US. I think I got a fairly good deal.

Oh yeah, all I remember was how freaking heavy it was moving it around by myself. Now I need a 2 or 2.5 HP outboard for it. It's perfect for throwing into a float plane and heading into a back lake. Mike What are those 2 horse Hondas like? You have one don't you? Are they quiet? I'm thinkng the one with the clutch would be good.

I would kick their little buggy butts before you have a pile of sawdust where your gazebo used to be.

It sounds like a low voltage situation or bad unit as stated. I have the 300 watt one and it works my laptop, electric shaver, camera and video camera battery chargers. In fact I can do it all at the same time. I have another larger one I picked up at a garage sale that I will use if I ever build my cabin. It's an unused 1750 watt job that I picked up for $100.

Up here in Yellowknife we don't have Craigs List of Kajiji but we have YKTrader. Last year I managed to get Solopaddler a sick deal on a 30 HP Honda outboard for $2K. There are some good deals to be had if you're quick on the draw. This week I saw an ad for patio stones for $20. I need some patio stones so I call up and tell the lady I'll take them sight unseen. So after work I head over to look at my patio stones and pay the $$$$ for them. Well for $20 I ended up getting a 1/2 skid of concrete pavers!!!! I asked if she minded if I came over on Saturday to pick them up, no problem come after 1:00 PM as I'm having a garage sale. Perfect!! I went over and loaded my bounty onto my sled trailer for the 3 block trip to my place. As I'm loading up the lady notices the tackle in the back of my truck and asks me if I want to buy the little boat she had in her garage sale, but didn't sell. She said give me $10 and it's yours. Done!!! I couldn''t say no. Finish loading everything up and off to my place. Now it's time to unload all the stuff I got for a measly $30. Now to the proof of my dealings. I ended up with 130 of the large pavers and 45 of the small locking stones for $20. And I wanted to see what they are going to look like when I put them down so I set a few up on the trailer. Now to the boat part. It's an 8' inflatable with wood floor and will take up to a 4 HP motor. It's in really good condition and has no holes, leaks or patches!!! For $10!!!! Sweet Score fer sure!!!!!! As an added bonus my oars from my old single man cat fit. I may get out and test the new boat tomorrow if I can move!! After loading and unloading my trailer full of pavers it feels like I went the distance with the champ!!! I did a quick calculation and I figured I moved about 3150 pounds of pavers by my self.
