Hope you like crowds!

I'd be happy with a sheephead right now! Good stuff.

It's really rare to see a thread like this remain civil. I'm keeping my mouth shut, not for any reason other than I have no valuable advice to give. Props to everyone here for remaining so politically correct in this thread - and for giving some very good advice.

I understand where you're coming from, but don't believe for a second that the same thing hasn't happened dozens of times with adults yakkin' on their funny phones. I don't think an age limit solves any problems for anyone. What's next? No driving until you're 30?

I have one, haven't actually used it on the water (I rarely troll and when I do I usually forget it) but played with it in the backyard and seems pretty accurate. Certainly more accurate than guessing!

It seems the simplest solution would be cut the amount of vehicles being produced and deal with the paycuts. Now were this to happen - who would be more upset? The line workers who get a 5 dollar per hour paycut? Or the execs who go from 5 million to 3 million per year? Hmmmmm.... It's like - they've been at the top of the ladder raking in dough easily for so long that now that things aren't flowing in their direction, they're panicking. Drop employee wages. There are TONS of people who will do their job for $15/hour! And probably work harder!

No but without a union, the company could easily "modify" or even remove completely your benefits and bonuses and you'd have no say in the matter.

How about musky? I do have a pic of that! And salmon Though it was on a charter, would rather land that beast in a river! And though it's not my PB here's a 6lb largemouth

Cute 'lil rainbow Welcome!

Perhaps you've got the memory settings for your browser set too low?

Ha, those things (the yogurt anyway) sit on the shelves at the store I work at until they expire. I know because dairy had a whole skid of that crap in our cooler that never hit the shelves. Quite a sight, a whole skid of yogurt going to the dump.

My great grandfather died of old age. He's now too old to fish.

You don't want to be wasting your time attempting to set that up in the wind (aka chasing it across the lake). Buddy had one. We spent about an hour setting it up in 25k winds then we were pretty much propping it up with our heads the rest of the trip because the wind blew it right over. Good thing he had decent ice anchors!

Good stuff, looks like fun!

Look into Ugly Stik Lite

Start up something how? I wrote my opinion. I understand your point to a degree. But to blame the workers.. well by that logic we'd be blaming you? I don't get it. We are a unionized company and trust me, nobody gets to slack off. The management is ridin' our butts to move, move, move non stop. Then again, our management is non-unionized which means head office is riding their butts even harder.

Keep it up Bernie, you're a much stronger willed person than I am. I quit everything else but the smokes I just can't do.

Awesome!!! Congrats, what a day.

Will do Glenn, thanks!

lol, the saddest part is that she is doing a slightly better job than the guy before her who did cut meat for 15 years, haha

HA! This is where I CAN bash the unions! In my company, due to union regulations, everyone is allowed to apply for any position within the company. The person in charge of meat sales/processing for loblaws is A VEGAN!!!!!! What a joke! Busted her butt, ya right she's 2 years older than I am!

Are the operators equipped with magic wands that turn dog poop into gold? Cuz they'd need it to make GM parts as reliable or well made as the offshore companies.

No offense, but no matter how fast the employees ram the parts into the vehicles, it doesn't fix cheap/crappy parts. I don't think the workers are to blame for this, nor the unions. It's corporate execs making horrible decisions, looking for the cheapest way to make a buck. The company I work for is doing the same thing. Clowns from head office who have never seen meat outside of a restaraunt are sending us instructions on how to do our job. Their way doesn't work in the real world, but they can't see that. Mostly because they've never entered the real world outside of their limo!

About 8 years ago my dad bought a utility trailer for the pond hopper. At the time he had the choice of that, or for $100 more a boat trailer that accomodated up to 14' He cheaped out unfortunately, but I think the boat trailer was on for $500 or something like that. Is there anywhere I can get a 14' boat trailer for a decent price?

That's awesome Lew!
