I saw the guys on strike on Bayview today in front of the coke depot

Yep. Saw them too. Stopping the trucks coming in to the lot.

DANG!! I was going to take Bayview to Anne, to get out of town to avoid the 400.... Now bayview will be rammed too! I can't win....

That is what I assumed they where doing.

Man, there is so much money thrown around in the hwy construction industry.

Does anyone know what they are doing at the split? Almost looks like something significant.... It would be really nice if the lanes on the 400 north ramp where re-paved... That's a fun corner to take at 100.

Buddy, my weekend is so packed with things. Helping friends move, SAR fundraiser in Midland, 5 year wedding anniversary, friends birthday..... I could keep going.

I am hoping to wet a line for a few hours across the road. We'll see. Fire me a pm if your in the neighbourhood!

is going to be a wee bit slow through Barrie!

The 400 side of the hwy 11 split is down to one lane for construction. If they don't open the second lane up, she's gunna be jammed.

There was a little more the usual traffic today coming home, and it was rammed from Bayfield area up to the slit. I'm not taking the 400 tomorrow.

Have fun on the drive up!

That is amazing news!!! So happy for you man!!

Now you will have room to house plenty on OFC'r for guided spec fishing trips!!!

That's awesome Ryan!

Your daughter caught more bass on opener that I have in the last 5 years combined!

I've give up... How can I tell you how amazing your reports are with out sounding repetitive...

You give a new meaning to the work Epic.

Great job Cudz!

I have one of the rope ladders. Similar to the links the other guys posts.

Google rope ladders.. If your pinching pennies, you can make your own no problem..

It sure is nice to see the odd Simcoe hog!

Thanks for sharing!

Incredible shots Capn'!

This will be BLARING in my drive home today!!!

Wow.. That's brutal.

Who knows the entire story though.. They may be about to go teats up.. Grabbing a straws to pay the bills..?

How much is a parking ticket? Not Likely more than $45....

Yep.

I don't expect this BBQ to last more than 10 years. Like I said before, it's lower end. Looks pretty. But it highly doubt it's made on this country! And I am sure it's low grade stainless. All that being said, it still owns any other grill that's been on my deck!! And I'm tickled pink to have it!

And all of the replacement burners, transfer tubes, and burner covers, etc... are available to purchase from the manufacturers website.

portugese water dog

There a great dog eh! Post up a picture!

I'm going to lock my keys in my car ALL weekend!

What kind of dog is it?

hope you have a large tank or its natural gas

Ya, i think most of the time I will be running one or two burners alone... I fired them all up when I first put it together.. MAN, you could here the gas flowing like crazy!!!

I don't wear a shirt, to easy to get caught with dripping from sampling.

BBQ stain on my white t-shirt!

I'm from the country, It's allowed! Heck, It's encouraged!

Thanks gents!

The steel brush is going in the garage tonight.

I'll look in to a better option.

Thanks for the tips!

And ya, the boy is getting big! He's got teeth now, so soon he will be able to enjoy a piece of that Steak!

On a side note. It is very nice to be able to cook a full meal on the deck.

My wife picked the BBQ out from a TSC catalogue with out taking measurements. I would never have picked a grill out this size. But now that I have it, I am really liking it!!

No more "rounds" of burgers!

These are some great replies so far!

Thanks everyone!

I think I am going to invest in a really good brush. The ones I have are dollar store grade.

I like the idea about the tile. Maybe a black ceramic.

Steel rod is a great ideas too. I think I can get my hands on some 7/16 Thomson shafting.

I finally own my very first brand new BBQ. I've been getting free hand-me-downs and fixing them up. Been through 3 in the last 10 years. I'm glad I finally have something that will last!

My question is this... The grills are about a 1/2" shorter then the slot they fit in to. So when you put some elbow grease in to the wire brush, it slams steel on steel on each push and pull. Makes one hell of a loud noise.

I'm sure you've all ran in to this at least once in your life?

The grill is in the lower end market, so I kind of expected small things like this.

I want to wedge something between the grill and the sheet metal slot they fit in. But am having trouble thinking of a good material.

Here's what I've been running through my head.

• It can't melt, or burn.
• Give of any fumes at all in high heat.
• It can't be a size on size fit because it will be tough to get the grills in and out for the annul cleaning
• For the reason above, the grills will still rattle a little, even if I close the gap.
• Soft material to dampen the impact when cleaning

I know there are some clever minds out there.

Anybody got any suggestions on material?

Tried to Google it, and only came up with Rattle Snake recipes!

Here's a few shots of her test run last weekend.

Great report Chris.

A little Erie though.. We have the exact same fish finder, beer cozy, GPS, and we drink the same cheap beer! Brothers from another mother I guess...

I believe we both run Bravo's as well.....

We've got to meet up and go fishing sometime!

Looks like a nice day on the water.

Nice report man!
