I'll be sending a donation too Sam. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Thanks for the link to gpscity.ca douG. Lots of info there including user comments. Good prices too.

So you own a Mercaha too, eh Lew? Sounds like your has been as solid as mine.

I own a '01 60 hp Merc 4 stroke. It's ran perfectly since day 1 with only routine maintenance. It's never been in the shop. The power head is made by Yamaha. So it's really a Yammy dressed up as a Merc.

I've been looking at a new GPS as well. I think I've decided that Garmin will be the brand. I've been looking on EBay and haven't found much of a deal there yet. Besides, if I buy locally I can just return it to where I bought it. Here's the one that I'm most interested in. Does anyone own one of these that could offer some comments, good or bad??

This thread reminds me of a story from last fall. While traveling through Iowa with some friends, we stopped at an out of the way small town bar for a few beers. My buddy spots a jar of pickled eggs on the bar and orders a beer on tap and an egg from the waitress. The waitress comes back and plops a tall glass of beer in front of him that had a translucent blob in the bottom of it. My buddy asks the waitress what the %&*@ is at the bottom of his glass? "It's an egg" she replied. The waitress had cracked a raw egg and dropped it in his beer. Anyways, we had a good laugh after he explained to her that he wanted a pickled egg. You gotta be really specific in small town Iowa it seems.

Beauty report Phil. Love the sweatshirt too!!

"When do bass start to spawn??" When the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars...

Sorry Terry, but I wasn't joking.

Add one of my favorites to the list. Never phone home and tell the wife/girlfriend that you're going for A beer after work...

Jigs are a great choice. A northwestern Ontario favorite for Walleye. They are very versatile, and cheap to boot. The Southern Ontario crowd seems to prefer crankbaits. I've caught plenty on both. Bottom line is, if they are biting and your presentation is in their zone, you'll catch them. If they're off, good luck. So I'd say that you pick up some tackle that works deep, some that works shallow, some that works fast, and some that works slow. That way you have all the bases covered. There is no such thing as a good all around Walleye bait or lure. It's all in the presentation.

I heard that there's good fishing down by the rock.

A condensate pump is a small unit made for pumping very small amounts of water from appliances such as high efficient furnaces or air conditioners. If there's no floor drain near by, the water produced by the appliance must be pumped uphill to the nearest drain. Don't use one for any other type of water removal. It's a light duty system made for occasional use. They're definitely not made for rain water removal. Unless you have major water accumulation, a simple bathroom fan in the humid area will do wonders to remove humidity Mo. You can have it wired to a dehumidistat so that it only runs when the humidity is high in the affected area. Ventilation works wonders. Also, turn off the water supply to your humidifier NOW. You don't need it in this mild weather.

Very, very nice work Ron. You should be proud. I remember building my own web page years ago starting from scratch just like you did. I didn't know how to copy and paste in those days and spent hours trying to type a 30 line code and if there was one letter or punctuation out of place, it wouldn't work. Then try to find my mistake. DOH!! Anyways, once again, beauty job Bud. But I do have one question about your banner. When did they stock Muskie in Jessee Lake??

I usually stay at the Zero 100. It's pretty much right in the center of town. About 10 minutes off the highway. It's modern and clean. It has a restaurant and bar as well.

Once again Rick, well said.

Thanks Joe. I should be good. The only picks that I've wasted have been on Stewart, and I'm comfortable with that.

Does this only apply to your final selection? Or your final two selections .... lets say tier 1. Lets say I picked Stewart and Gordon on Thursday in tier one. Then on Sunday I settled for Stewart. Does my Gordon pick count as one of my 9 selections, even though I picked Stewart for the race?

Really?? I didn't know that.

Huh???

Look for something that is at least 5 or 6 hp Gerritt. It's amazing what you can mow down with a little more hp.

So sorry Joey.... NOT!!!!! LMAO##############

My picks weren't so good once again. But I did have Kyle. Since he's in the second tier, Ill be picking him every week. I also won $100.00 in my cash pools this week. Mears finishing 10th got me $50.00 and Burton finishing second got me $50.00. And Gordon's leading the points. I'm happy. So sorry for you Tony fans. :lol:

Well said Rick. My thoughts exactly.

Good point Roy. I used to watch the Leafs every Saturday night. But the product that they are putting on the ice these days is deplorable. But on the pother hand, why should they spend more money when the arena is full every night? I'm sure that the profit margin is very healthy. And that's all that management is concerned about.
