Costco is a great place to buy a battery. Should have deep cycles too

I would stay away from very light coloured granite because it can stain as others have said. I like granite because it is natural and is unique, especially if you get some with a cool pattern. It's way cheaper if you go to the manufacturer directly. There are tons of them in the Jane/Hwy 7 area. Lots of competition. Avoid the box stores like HD. Most guys will throw in a double SS sink as well and install it. We paid about $3K for a lot of counter space. Looks amazing and I'm sure we'll get it back when we sell. peter

you Rock! thanks

I make mine in the oven -in winter might as well heat the house. Back ribs way better IMO. Peel the tough skin off the rib side. Make a nick with knife and peel. Apply your favourite spices or rub both sides. Wrap each rack completely in foil all sides and slow cook in oven 325 for 2-3 hrs. Then uncover and smother with BBQ sauce all sides and bake @ 350 rib side down for another 30 min. Paint with sauce meat side every 10-15 min. Yummy

we're supposed to ge seing a comet at some point. I thought it is only visible in the southern hemisphere at this point

Welcome to the board Mitch. Never did a fly-in. On the bucket list though. For me, still trying to figure out the walleye at the relatively new cottage on Pigeon Lake. Muskie also hard to catch after spring. always learning. this is a great forum for that peter

CT has 2 chargers on sale 50% off. Both Eliminator brand. 6/4/2A Intelligent Charger($30) and a 25/12/4A Intelligent Charger with 75A engine start and battery desulfation($60) Thinking of getting the latter as a charger and booster for a dead battery Are these any good? Worth buying? peter

I love Rapala lures. I hear their rods and reels are less than great. Is this the conscenses or am I wrong?

gotta be steroids in them there waters!

thanks for that, Justin. Gotta love saltwater fishing

Cool. So what line size/material and leader is used. 30 ft down -still fishing or trolling?

Wow. Tough luck. So... for sure a Tuna? Was it ever seen? Could it have been a shark?

now I feel kinda dumb that a spent $1K+ on my HDS 7

Not a techie here, but using Pads/phones is using cell towers to triangulate and locate your location, correct? Is it as accurate as real satelite GPS? peter

make sure you consider trailer width unless you have a double garage door. my 17.5 Lund on a Lund(Shorlander) Trailer won't fit thru my single doors

stupid test. instead they should do an alternate year safety test like in the US

Thanks 206. Bookmarked the page. I'll give my other reels the clean/lube treatment

Thanks Guys. The parts sheet shows a metal screw called the "oil cap". I guess that's where you lube her up. But still no manual. I'll call LeBaron Tues to see if I'm missing the manual

Picked up this reel at LeBaron's yesterday based on their recommendation. Reading on-line that it has a lubricating port. No manual came with it. Does anyone know if a manual should be included or where this port is? Thanks, Peter

Well said. I go for the entertainment value. Breaks up the long winter

same problem starting on my 2007 Lund. where chrome cleats attached to painted aluminum. bubling paint how does this happen on a so called premium boat? should be a gasket between different metals?

The walleye pro Hatch recommended them (Berkley sponser) at the Sportsman Show He said they are hollow so they float and their heads are angled to make them rotate slowly in a harness

Healthy looking Lakers. Must be lots of bait. Yet the Whities are AWOL for the most part. What gives?

Amazing. Made my day! Great releases. Fall temperatures help. Like I say, better than Sex

Got to the show for 4:30 pm. ( outside parking free after 4 today and tomorrow reg $14.) Not well attended likely due to the weather but not a very impressive show IMO. Highlights were : 1 Raptor exhibit with eagles, hawks and owls 2 MNR display with young muskies. Had a cool chat with the biologist 3 Walleye fishing seminar by Sheldon Hatch. Said a lot of conventional wisdom about walleye fishing is wrong. like that they are light phobic. bait colour not very important. he often catches them shallow in deep water in the Kawarthas. Find the baitfish and you'll find the walleyes. likes trolling with planer boards but has also caught lots in the propwash Likes the new Gulp worm harness worms that are hollow and bent to rotate
