No parts will spring out, it looks very much like my old 1980 vintage 6500. I have a spare spool for mine, I would run 14 XT on it for Salmon/Trout rigging and also had a spare spool loaded with heavy dacron for Muskie back then. Just take a dime and remove the screws with the coin size slots, the end comes off, dump out the spool and slip the other one in and put the end back on. Really wasn't any more difficult than changing a spinning reel.

thankyou , Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte really dodged the bullet with that jog to the east, wife is talking to my sister in law, she still has power and phone in Port Charlotte.

Not good, just saw Charlotte Harbour on CNN, it is WAY DOWN, all the water is being sucked out, when the eye passes and the winds reverse the storm surge is going to wipe out a lot of property . . This could be worse than Charlie in 2004.

Up early , the track has changed slightly west but not enough to really make any difference. Wife talked with her family in Port Charlotte most of last night , going to be glued to CNN today.

We are in the same boat today , OI, step daughters and grand kiddies are in Port Charlotte. Originally Irma was going up the east coast, then they changed the path to the gulf side, just got an text they are going to relatives in Tampa which would be somewhat better. Charlie was a nailbiter here guess Irma will be the same.

Does anyone else see towing a 200 plus horse power gas guzzling bass boat with an electric pickup just a little strange Wonder what towing does to the range ? better hope for plug ins at the launch so you can get home and what about remote destinations ?.... look for a current bush

Stacks out the back was factory with the late 70's Dodge L'il Red Truck, young fellow at work bought one, had it all of a couple of months till it ended up on the Rez as a burned out shell. He wasn't a Newf either https://www.google.ca/search?biw=1366&bih=638&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=lil+red+truck&oq=lil+red+truck&gs_l=psy-ab.12...0.0.0.82889.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1..64.psy-ab..0.0.0.t2Hg3NqfVto

The el Camino Ranchero idea didn't fly 50 years ago, leave it DOA

Keep looking as Dave says there is a second stronger event. http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g3-watch-7-through-9-september-2017-due-cme-effects

Take compass, GPS might be down

https://www.space.com/38057-sun-unleashes-decades-strongest-solar-flare.html This kind of stuff can have catastrophic effects, a repeat of the Carrington Event of 1859 would have dire repercussions in this modern high tech age with computer control of virtual every aspect of our lives including the power grid. Read up, the effects of climate change pales in comparison to what a repeat of 1859 could do. Several of the large scale power outages of my lifetime are due to these events. I've been a shortwave listener for over thirty years so when the bands were dead this morning I knew something big was up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859 http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/03/110302-solar-flares-sun-storms-earth-danger-carrington-event-science/

Looks like a good chance of aurora borealis tonite http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g3-watch-6-and-7-september-2017-due-cme-arrival

Wikipedia has the condensed version if you don't read beyond the foreward,. basically Indians , oops First Nations people, gotta be PC in this day and age would assimilate into the general society with the same right and priviledges with the abolition of the Indian Act. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_White_Paper

The air we breathe is like 77 % Nitrogen if I recall , should be the same using any compressor.

where is Mike Harris when you need him ?? Peeair and Jean the Cretin had the right idea http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1100100010189/1100100010191, junior needs to grow a set.

Tyler Dunn at one time posted here, I recall he guided and seemed to do well , google him and maybe book him as a guide to learn the ropes on the St. Marys River as I assume that is where you'll fish salmon and trout. Edit: yes he still is guiding http://www.tylerdunnguiding.ca/

CHCH Hamilton just said 50 OPP including a tactical unit made them take it down.

The highest grouse populations that I ever experienced actually were in southern Ontario rather than North. IN the 60's and 70's you could expect close to a dozen flushes a hour in the woods in Norfolk County, usually hunted the Crown Land around the St. Williams Tree Nursery. The population started declining in the eighties about the same time as coyotes and turkeys exploded, maybe just a coincidence.

It blinked twice here, but not even long enough to have to reset the clocks.

Thanks, eavetrough guy just showed up to make a new downspout, and a run to the side street ditch, corner lot, and patch some siding that had to be removed, a metal gate is being built so we can sit out with the pooches in the evening without their leashes. Good luck with yours, wife and I were really impressed with the result here, the post caps and balusters really made it for us. edit: the metal balusters and the predrilled rails come as a packaged kit I believe.

We just had a deck put out front, I am past my prime as a DYI guy, the new brown pressure treated looks real nice over the green stuff, I think these are the vinyl coated spindles that OI was talking about, and they used special screws for pressure treat, not galv but I think they were zinc phosphate coated from my years in the steel industry. Not 700 sq ft , heck our home isn't much over that. Eaves trough guy still has to show up 20638210_10213919419048774_4610961641925126522_n by D T, on Flickr

With the high water I can walk out the door and over to Forty Mile Creek below the QEW and get a couple of bows in the spring just like in the 80's when I moved here and the water was high, suckers too if you are so inclined. There was a good run of Chinook and Browns here in the fall back then too, hope they come back too.

I believe the big story a few years ago was elevated estrogen in the same watershed messing with the sexual development of male fish. " Ban the pill "

Doesn't affect me, pension is in the bank today, first of the month, I'll just put my monthly 40 bucks in the tank for the big monthly trip to Costco and the big city of St Catharines.
