    ***Home owners tip***

    If you have old fuel you don't trust to use in your engines, it works great for burning the corpses of your COVID-19 infected neighbours.

    So Drifter me thinks the lack of sun up there has messed with ya.

    Got this gennie last spring. Filled with and stored  20 L Shell premium, ethanol free gas stabilized with Stabil Marine. Last April.  Been running it briefly every couple months  

    I’m thinking it needs to be replaced with fresh fuel. Would you put the old gas through my Yammy or through my 4Runner?  And do you add it to a mostly full tank to dilute it or does it matter. 

    Thanks Gents

  7. My new(ish) Hobby - Kayak Fishing

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I don’t own a fishing kayak. Have only seen them at shows.  They look like they’d be fun under ideal circumstances.  Unfortunately in my world conditions are not always ideal. Weather, waves, boat traffic, and range make me think these are just sorta toys. 

    You’ll eventually want a decent boat. Especially with family. 

    Just sayin.

    If you ever get this way Capt. I will gladly have you out as my 1st mate. I have to warn you long lining is the most boring fishing I have ever done. It makes up for it when you have a 9 pounder on the end of your line as long as it doesn't turn out to be a farm animal, code words for Sheepshead. I hate them critters that impersonate a Pic. 

    Thanks. I might take you up on that.   When they’re on I hear it’s pretty easy to fill a cooler.

    I read the Erie lake wide allowable catch limit in 2019 was 8.5 million walleye. 😳    Between sport and commercial fishing.

    That’s a pile of eyes I’ll have to tap into some day.....says this Erie walleye virgin.  😎

     

    Just did some math. At a 4 lb average that’s 17,000 tons of walleye harvestable 😲

    Sweet net, which booth did you find that at? I was only able to spend couple hours there Saturday morning. Wasn't to busy then but got some pretty good Megabass stuff from Pro J’s and some other stuff from other vendors that my local places don’t have. Also chatted with the Oliver guy from BigBassDreams YouTube channel about musky fishing for a little bit. Seemed like a nice guy. I thought it was a decent show although I didn’t get to spend as much time as I wanted there. 

    I didn’t see the name of the large booth. But he said he was from Belleville. 

    Ranger Net.  $229. No Tax. Super long telescopic handle. Rubber coated mesh. Octagonal handle that won’t spin. Easy to lock into place. I’ve been looking for a big deep basket net with a long handle. Capture a big fish and keep her in the water while resting the long handle across the gunnels of the boat Then unhook in net. This will help me and the fish especially fishing alone.

    Medically...

    Worked for years with this Doctor nut who was convinced Vitamin D supplements were the be-all-and-end-all to soooo many things.  I'd get tired of consulting with him on patients cause he'd want to prescribe it for just too many things.

    Even 5 years ago I'd think phewy about it!  Until I began working in Nunavut and found that some other co-workers were taking it to help them through the 24 hours of darkness.

    Every November/December for years, to some degree some things would start to bother... and sometimes some things could last the winter.  I'd self diagnose maybe a mild S.A.D. or just think I was down for this reason or that. But, in Nunavut 4 years ago I began taking Vitamin D daily through the dark months, 2000-3000 units each morning, and I honestly do believe it helps.  First and foremost with mood, second to that cognition and energy too. 

    In the summer nobody soaks in D from the sun better than pale faced gingers.  That's good for feeling vital, (bad down the road for cancers) but honestly the sun and D do much to make people feel good.  The more dark the skin, the more clothed we are (like my patients in the Arctic) the more masked we are from soaking in adequate D.

    Do your own research on it and find out for yourself how it can help.  Again, in Nunavut during the 24 hours of dark, the insane cold that keeps me indoors for a month, dealing with sick patients one-after-another daily, and the sleep deprivation that can come with a work/call schedule of 24 hours a day 7 days a week, any legal help I can get from a harmless pill is welcome.  I find some benefits to Vitamin D for the winter blues.

    Sounds compelling. But as you know there are so many variables. And then there’s the placebo effect. It can be crazy.  I know too much Vit D can cause problems. Lots of MS in higher latitudes. Canada has Highest rate in the world. Some researchers think there’s a link to lack of Vit D.  Interesting topic.
