  1. Got this whole show from a trading site on DVD, recorded from German TV station WDR, man 706 views is criminal <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mef4LeIHvC4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> an acoustic number, most of the show is on youtube, this guy is a MONSTER on slide <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GlqbqTkze1M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  2. Sitting here looking at the folding trailer tongue thread , I thought, maybe it would be a simple task to pull the hinge pin on the folding tongue, guess you would have to have an addition plug maybe for electrical, not having a folding tongue trailer don't know if this is feasible, but storing the short hitch portion in the house would make the tongueless trailer even more difficult to steal. Maybe this would work
  3. Actually I'd go 2 stroke for the weight saving again myself because I use a kicker for trolling, owned one and seen a few boats that get too heavy in the butt with 2 motors. Get 2 guys at the back setting riggers/netting fish plus the motors/batteries/fuel is often too much. Most often the big motor gets run only to get offshore, minimal fuel consumption anyway. I'd go 4 stroke on the kicker before the main engine, in my case anyway.
  4. ARRGH! got one of those too, was a humbling experience backing it into the drive the first time. The worst part is trying to back the darn thing up in a straight line, when it's straight you can't see it behind the van. It's actually easier to get it into the drive from the street than to back straight down the drive.
  5. Very nice rig My experience was if the 90, 115 maybe even 125 are on the same powerhead with the same displacement any gain will be very marginal, maybe not worth the expense. My experience was with the older 85 to 140 V4 OMC's, think they just upped the rpm the HP was rated at to get the next engine in the line-up.
  6. No problem, for browns you are often close enough to shore that a shorecaster could hit you. Better to stay out further a few yds and run a board in shallow though. Start with J9's and J11's in natural blues and silver or maybe a chartreuse if there is colour to the water to start.
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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>
  10. 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>
  11. That is exactly how the ones I have work.
  12. 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.
  13. 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>
  14. 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
  15. On the other side of the coin they have many overproof rums and vodkas where we are limited to 40% alcohol.
  16. 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.
  17. Very nice brownie a little longer and leaner than most and a nice broad tail, nice change genetically from the football strain.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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>
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. Actually, I think the far bird is indeed a Canvasback while the near bird is a Redhead.
  25. 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+%.
