We thought about tracks Doug but I don't expect to be using mine much in the winter, we can add them later if we do decide we want them.

I did add the pictures, they were on my cell phone and i had to transfer them. It moves really well in the water under it's own power at about 1/4 throttle we were at a fast troll. We are going to add an electric trolling motor mostly because it's quiet and we won't be using gas.

I will try to get more pictures this week, we didn't get tracks, believe me if you can't get there with the wheels you probably shouldn't be there. We decided to go with the 650 instead of the 700 for a couple of reasons, the main one being the 700 is efi and the module is below and behind the engine, the only way to service it is to remove the engine. The 650 is carburated and a breeze to service. I am truly amazed at how well these things are made and what they can do and the adventure has just begun. It's a blessing for both me and my son, no more having to strap outboards and all our gear to our ATV then un load, reload, hope the cached boat is where we left it or isn't being used by someone else. We can fish together or indipent, the seats are padded and quite comfortable, lots of leg room and you can move around very easily. As far as 8 wheel or 6 wheel, the 6 wheel is perfect for our needs, if I was a young man with a family I might go with the 8 but since most of my usage is going to be 1 and occasionally 2 I think this was the right choice. 😊

You won't believe the places this thing will go..... we just picked them up on Saturday. Well you know the first thing we had to do was drive them down the road, through a ditch and into the river. Swamp grass, water, mud, beaver dams, you name it, we tried it and all they did was keep amazing us. We ended up hitting a little lake we knew for some pike, OMG amazing, we caught so many fish we lost count, ( you couldn't get there any other way) we went places you couldn't get with a boat or an ATV, we went places where you couldn't walk. We went places you couldn't get to even with a float plane, ( well you might make it in but getting out would have been a challange 😊 Now I will admit you can get them stuck. Yup I did LOL, I tried to cross a small creek just wider than my wheel base, it was deep with very steep sides, ya, my son did have to winch me out. Well if you don't get one stuck you don't know what it takes right ? 😊 IMG_1325.MOV

SOLD

Lets see, a trip to the court house = taking time off work/fishing and if you loose you pay the fine + court costs + you will have to pay for the sticker anyway. I can't be bothered with all that stuff when it took me less than 5 minutes to renew on line from the comfort of my own home, I got an extra 30 days to pay it and even points on my credit card. Ya, it might be a cash grab, what about the $15.00 you have to pay just to enter the draw for a moose tag and if you are lucky enough to get drawn then you have to buy the license.

Some good advice however muffs don't always give you a good indication of how well the impeller is working since you are applying pressurized water. Better to put it in a lake or a tank, better yet just replace the impeller if you have any doubts at all.

Don't do that with your FAC or you have to go through the whole process again.

Looks like a reall nice ride and getting a dog for your wife wasn't a bad deal either 😉

Forgot to renew my FA C in Jan. No problem, 6 months extension. All renewed now😊

I fully intend to register it as an ORV but was concerned about on the water because it has a 23 hp engine and we intend to do a lot of fishing. I'll just register it as both 😊

I wanted to make sure so I sent Transport Canada an email asking. Here is the reply: Good afternoon Clifford, Thank you for contacting Transport Canada’s Office of Boating Safety.

I think Smitty is on track but if you can get it to me I will check it out for you. My son is a marine mechanic so if Ican't do it I know a guy 😊

Three reasons reasons Lew; I paid to have it delivered, it was well under their weight limit, and they didn't tell me it was going to take 5 extra days.

They refused to deliver a 35 lb package to me because the lady that delivers our mail said she couldn't lift it. It took a couple of phone calls but they finally agreed to find someone that could, took them 5 days though.

I had one here that I fed all winter, only saw it a few times but I filled the bowl every evening and it was empty in the morning, saddly a fox or owl got it just before the last of the snow went. Glad to see yours had such a good outcome 😊

I am so very sorry for your loss, it's hard enough to see someone we love leave us but when you can't even say a proper goodby.... well there are no words that can ease the pain. My heart goes out to you and the rest of the family!

If you are thinking of buying an LG product be careful! I bought a 50" LG TV Mod. 50UH5500 just over 4 years ago. Almost $800.00 but I wanted a good tv. Sunday it just quit working. I went on line and found that particular modle had a well doccumented failure at just short of 5 years and it can't be repaired. I spent a lot of time on the phone and emailing LG about the problem and I just got a call from them which basically said sorry for your luck, it was almost 5 years old so too bad, best we'll do is offer you 15% off a new set. I realize things don't last forever but the fact that LG is now selling disposable products means I will be choosing my next purchases more carefully and LG will be my last choice. If this had been some "no name" tv I might have expected the failure but I always thought LG was better than that.

Sorry, the sarcasm went right over my head, I am not use to that from you! So, would you feel better if a 75 year old who lives alone stayed in his own house alone when he could be out in the bush with no interaction with anyone else? My motor coach has 1000 km range. The fuel tank is full, I don't even have to stop for fuel. I have enough food here to last me for 2-3 months and the ability to take that with me so I don't even have to go into town for supplies. My property there is fully serviced, water, septic, hydro. I have already given up so much in the intrest of doing my part, Christmas, my son's 50th birthday, the birth of a great grandaughter. If you can give me one valid reason why my isolating there where I can fish and hunt without having to contact anyone else is going to put anyone at risk then I will consider it.

I smoked them about 5 hours using 3 pans of wood chips, this time i used hickory, last time I used alder, I think I like the hickory better.

165 * and cooled for 1/2 hr. Juicy, full of flavor, and ready for dinner. Second larger piece almost ready 😊

Wow, I wish I could do stuff like that, I am struggling to tie bucktails. Beautiful work🤗

That's going to be really tough, our campground just said they are probably not going to open for transits this year, even services for seasional sites are going to be at a reduced rate, that is going to put a lot of pressure on any other spaces that might have been available. There might be some opportunities, I have one in mind but won't discuss it openly, pm me and we can talk about it.

If a cop does stop you and give you a ticket, don't blame the cop, they are only doing his/her job. Blame the people that have put him/her in the position where they have to do it. Blame the idiots that have made this necessary!

Congratulations on getting your AZ, I know what a challange it is and now the fun really starts. Started driving trucks at 15 on a twin stick Mack 😊, I finally gave it up five years ago when Sue got sick and Young and Eglington construction sites were not what I wanted to do anymore. I do still miss it though but not the long days or idiots. Stay safe both on the road and off !
