  1. I've done a few stupid things. Back the boat into the water...start motor hit reverse...usually slides ride of..this time it wasn't..hmm..look over the gunel and the trailer is floating. Forgot to take the straps off.

     

    Done the plug thing a few times...found my self in about 4 feet of water once trying to hold the boat from sinking while my buddy strolls across the beach to the Truck to get the plug while checking out the woman.....I was not impressed..he wasn't a big boater at the time and didn't understand the urgency.

  2. Comment to the post above about the CTC 12 year old bbq....they don't make them like they used to..even the cheapies.

     

    At the end of the day every company is off shoring some sort of their building process....now a day's you have to look at how much of it is made in Canada and how much control does the Canadian division have. Napoleon is one of the top of the line bbq's and 90% of the time (I have been fooled) you get what you pay for.

     

    I just bought a Napoleon Prestige I P450 to replace my 6 year old $600 Centro that cooks uneven, is rusted, has warped dial control's, rotted out cast burners and drip tray's.....it's now off to the Garbage. The Frame actually started to rust after

    2 years..and I kept it covered..anyway.

     

    I do like the "Big Green Egg" thought...where was that when I was researching bbq's........

  3. Hey all, no this is not about fishing and I don't post much that's not fishing but I am a little miffed about this one. I have a Centro (Crappy tire brand) BBQ

    that is made to run on Natural Gas. I have just moved and now looking to convert it to propane. I am being told this is not possible and that the actual controls

    are different and so on so it can't be done.

     

    Has anyone ever heard of this? I was under the assumption it can be done as we did it to my parents a few years ago. Does the newer ones maybe not

    have the ability? It's about 6 years old now.........

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated with the warm weather it sucks having no que!!

  4. I am moving to the country (10 acres) and the increase in Coyote's is concering me. Is there anything you can do to to prevent attracking them? Knock on wood I haven't seen one yet and there haven't really been any issues or concerns and i did see some rabbits last weekend.

     

    I haven't checked the regs and should but might as well ask...are they hunable? I figure that may deter them a bit....

  5. Don't get stressed! Like some others mentioned maybe look to a new Trade and don't think about what you have done and all the hours you spent doing it...think of it as a base to get you further in your new career. I have worked for the same company for 11 years (IT) I have debt and a family...but I tell ya I am very very seriously thinking about changing careers and retooling..only prb is I should have don it when I was 23. Your only 23 RELAX...but don't wait!!!

  6. I went through this same dilemma last spring...looked at 125 2 strokes and 250 4 strokes and ended up buying the Yamaha TTR 230 4 Stroke with a TNT

    Big Gun exhaust (from California) and I love the bike. I'm a hefty 225 pounds and I am completely happy with the bike. The Exhaust gave it the little more I wanted (sounds nicer too) and raised the suspension a bit.

     

    The 250 4 Stroke requires all the racing/track Maintenance I did not want to deal with. I wanted to jump on and go for many many years and that

    is what the TTR 230 provides.

     

    I have friends now looking at the same bike or the Honda CRF 230. I have a friend with the CRF 230 and he loves it equally...although I believe it

    is a little heavier....YAMAHA all the way!!!

     

     

    Oh and if you "bush ride" like I do and get into some hairy spots......it has electric start.....no kicking involved..aaahhhhh
