  1. This is a slightly larger caliber and the extra grade with engraving but may be a start, it's a very high quality firearm. http://www.gunsinternational.com/J-P-Sauer-80-Extra-8x68.cfm?gun_id=100119417
  2. You got to be carefull put the truck in too far and you can sink the bow and it makes it hard to get the winch line unhooked
  3. And just to prove to me that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is getting their heads screwed back on right they induct this great as well this year <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3wG55hfh2w0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  4. Thanks for the Tom Waits guys, never in a million years considering the inductees of recent years did I ever think this would happen <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gVVDrPEQZt4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  5. That is exactly how the ones I have work.
  6. My old easy loader trailer has a no name set of bearing buddies on it , it has a relief hole drilled in from the side so you can't overfill, once the disc with the nipple gets to the hole the grease just comes out the side. should be simple to modify any set to work the same.
  7. I prefer his brother Johnny, from 41 years ago <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8Tyg5SJDpiQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  8. Backbay, still a Peter Green fan here, at 61, I was a big fan of the original Fleetwood Mac, in my circle of friends we call the later version of the band " Pussy Mac " There are 2 albums that would be of interest to fans of classic blues that he did about 10 years ago featuring the entire works of Robert Johnson that I listen to a lot and would recommend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Robert_Johnson_Songbook_(album) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Foot_Powder_(album) enjoy if you wish
  9. On the other side of the coin they have many overproof rums and vodkas where we are limited to 40% alcohol.
  10. I like to look at the position of the jaw in relation to the eye, the difference is much the same as large and smallmouth bass. With Browns having a eye-jaw relationship much like a largemouth and Atlantics are the smallmouth.
  11. Very nice brownie a little longer and leaner than most and a nice broad tail, nice change genetically from the football strain.
  12. Working the stretch of rock rip rap behind the radio towers, east down past Place Polonaise, the truck stop and the water treatment plant is very good early for browns in tight to shore. Be careful between Murray Street Park and the mouth of the Forty, there is a shallow red clay flat there, if you go farther east. Even shore casting pays off good in this stretch, off the ends of the dead end roads.
  13. Streamer flys, tied with bucktail/ imitation polar bear hair/ crystal flash/ tinsel , long slim sparsely dressed in patterns similar to the McNally Smelt, with greenish bluish on the back are often a hot ticket for bottom bouncing.
  14. The old Fenwick Riggersticks of the 80's were not a special blank designed for that use , they were simply fibreglass Fenwick/Woodstream 9 foot 10 wt fly rod blanks tied up as a downrigger rod, still got a couple I put together with the twist guides. Also went lighter with a 9 foot 8 wt blank for spring fishing and have 9 foot 12 weight tied up as well, that was a higher modulus Fenglass blank, think they were marketed for a short time as the " Kingstalker " model. Bet if you laid your hands on some fibreglass flyrod blanks of current manufacture you would have something very similar to those old sticks.
  15. OH MAN, now Backbay has gone and done it with the Ry Cooder " Chicken Skin Music " been watching clips all morning now, I've always liked best when he teams up with Dave Lindley <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ebj_e4VagcA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Lindley is also a supremely talented player, don't think there is a stringed instrument on the planet he hasn't mastered <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PJw7EeozDIY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  16. I've installed a couple for my own use and my parents, I always understood that a second run of coax is required for a second receiver. Each dish mounted outside has coax connectors for 2 runs of coax making a second dish necessary if you want a third receiver.
  17. The gimbals on the butt make me think they are designed for salt water. If you are a Lake Ontario salmon fisherman I would think the longer 2 would make a pretty good rod for running dipsey divers with braid line or if you add a twili tip with wire, the diameter at the tip would make them too stiff for me anyway in a downrigger. Could make a muskie trolling rod I guess but no experience with that.
  18. Actually, I think the far bird is indeed a Canvasback while the near bird is a Redhead.
  19. Exactly X2, retired in May 08 with the TSX hoovering near 15000, took a bit of a beating over the summer and then the bottom really fell out of it over the years have learned to hang in there, when I figured the rebound had started changed up the portfolio of mutuals from conservative to more equiity based, today, ahead of what GIC's would have paid if I'd dumped my money in them at retirement. Banks love GIC's give you 1-2 % and loan it out at 5+%.
  20. Going back further, found this, I always liked Richard as the best vocalist in the group <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qg-aPpQbrec" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  21. Too bad we couldn't return to the late 70's when a group of us hunted them for pelts, we got $50 to $70 a pelt and the going wage at the steel mills in Hamilton were I worked was $7/8 a hour, that was a days pay. Now those same jobs pay 4X as much and the worth of a pelt is actually lower now I believe
  22. Thanks for that Grimace, big fan of Warren/ Gov't Mule/ Allman Bros, Trucks isn't bad either I'm sure you will like this, never figured out why Rory was never more popular this side of the Atlantic, he was a majour blues/rock player for years before his death in Europe.
  23. If any of these new braids are flea proof for the diver rods out on the big O, now that would bbe a BIG PLUS.
  24. There seems to be a spring run also in the Niagara River. I've got a few good size ones offshore trolling for yellow pickeral on Lake Erie in the summer, I think they would be hard to target other than the known spring runs as probably the schools seems to suspend offshore in deep water during the summer.
  25. This is probably my favourite live performance of all times, almost 42 years ago
