Great shooting bud

Thanks guys

I know she will fight and win the battle for sure , she is a trooper indeed.

This is that time of year to give thanks.Thank you to all thats helped and has been concerned for my sake. I recently found out that my dear sweat sister in law was diagnosed for cancer She is way too young to deal with this type of cancer.

Dealing with mild treatments on biweekly increments, and what im going through. No thanksgiving this year for the first time in my life, for all of us.

Theres always next year and her health is more important than a turkey diner.

Have a great long weekend folks, and be greatful for what you have in your life.

Hey Brian, did the line or the swivel break?

I came across a bad batch of over priced swivels last spring.

Thats awesome Wayne, Jen truely is a fighter by all means.

That made my day

Thanks Wayne

I may even buy him a few rounds so he doesnt realize what hes getting into

Heres a better pic for you Dan

Dan you said skiis and the niagara in the same sentance. I do hope it happens and I wish I wouldnt either. Meaning youll get one.

My rendition of pee wee herman and mike tyson, both swam away from a possible confrontation

No way the pressure doubled. You might see a few psi at most (10% as mentioned before) when hot vs cold.

I just had this discussion today with one one of our brokers. Variance in tire perssure, from season to season and cold versus hot tire pressure(just coming off the rd)

For example the tires(commercial wise 11 r 22.5) is rated at 105 t0 110 cold max presure. A few I know will down rate them to 95 psi cold in the warm weather. After coming back from a trip, there is a 10 to 12% increase. In the cold part of the season its usually brought to 100 to 105 psi.

The most extreme pressure reading ive come across, at hot pressure was 135. During some of the hottest days of the year.

I variate tire pressures pending the seasons and longevity of the trip im on.

But never seen double.

I will see if there are any left overs at work, its about 1/2 to 3/4 inchs thick and a foot wide. Its a white plastic used as a scuff liner in commercial trailers. And very strong.

You can also go to any commercial fleet that has a shop, go in and ask if they have a small piece of scuff liner. It comes in black or white.

 

pm me if you like

Some people use plastic cutting-board type material on their hulls to install transducers so they don't have to drill/screw trough their hull.

 

I'm looking for some of this material, but just a larger size, maybe a foot square. It needs to support a bit of weight, maybe 10 pounds in a hortizontal fasion, so it needs to be able to hold screws reasonably well.

 

I was thinking of just maybe buying 2 cutting boards and using PL premium or silicone to laminate them together, but thought there must be some type of material available for this purpose.

 

Anyone seen something - trying to stay 100% away from wood-based product.

A truck driver was driving along the freeway. A sign comes up that reads, "Low Bridge Ahead." Before he knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles. Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?" The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas."

Sounds like one of our guys thats been fired

Hes someones now.

I keep a new spare insert in my supply bag, just in case.

There is a big difference between being a member of this board and being a true OFNr. Anyone can be a member, you just have to register, True OFNrs go out of their way help each other.

 

Case in point: last week I posted a rant about how friustrated I was about getting service on our fridge/freezer from a magor service company. Shortly after that I had a PM from Mercman who is in the appliance parts business. By Friday of last week I had all the parts in hand to do the repairs needed at far less than it would have cost me otherwise.

 

That my friends is what OFC truly is about!

 

Paul you surly are a true OFNr. Thank you so much, I only hope I can return the favour some day!

 

I think I'll vote OFC next election; the only people that seem to truly think about helping others!

 

Thank you Paul!

I can say one thing for sure Cliff, you are so very close to home to a true ofner. That I can say without hesitation. Shes a very helpful and resourceful lady

As for Paul, hes one decent,generous and helpful individual as well.

I can go on and on with a list of members that I call friends. They know who they are indeed and this goes out to them as well

No need for details

Today working on a trailer at home, I had a wonderful unexpected visitor from the board

We are all thinking about you buddy

Well as you are aware i am continuing the icefishing funniest photo contest again. Last year was funny indeed. Im hoping this year will be bigger and better.

I would personally like to thank Rod Caster for his donation, it was gratiously received.

I will do my part again as last year If anyone else would like to donate something that would be apreciated. I would like to have a 1rst, 2nd and third place winners this year. Its just for fun and give us a good chuckle juring winternet.

I will post the rules and donations very soon.

Thanks again

And thank you kindly again Rod Caster, for you donation

yeah went to one of those quick lube places

as I am waiting I decide to ask for the second time

 

that they were putting in the right oil

 

oh yeah like we said we always use warranty approved oil ..

 

good can you tell me which oil that is

 

wrong..that is not the oil for my diesel liberty.............not even close....

 

so I do it myself...and know it is done right

 

and don't pick up the beer on the way

Better yet Terry , talking about deisels , and I had to laugh at this one. A quicky lube and a gas bar attached. Change the oil and filler her up please. I saw the end result

And they say they are techs in the automotive industry

I felt bad for the customer and threw in my 2 cents worth, you couldnt tell it was a deisel, not only did you f on one part, but on the other part as well.

Since we are on this subject, and I am baffled by this. The units I work on are deisel anyway. The trailers we own with heaters are run by a small deisel engine. Fine. But this is the first fleet that ive encounter that use 10 w 30 instead od 15w40. Mind you ive worked on way too many of them and this is the first time ive seen this done.

Thats way too funny and somewhat true

Its even worse and more embarrasing if your in that same trade.And neighbours coming by to chat or see what your up to splash, ouch!!!!

Done

The grumps are relaxing finally on a nice day

In Canada there is no requirement to abide by the Max HP rating on the boat.

 

There is also no requirement in Canada to have insurance on a boat, although it's like playing russian roulette with 3 bullets in the gun.

Tim, Wayne has described my feelings about it bud.She runs great on the 40 hp.

the merc weights less than the old evinrude that I have hanging of it now (yes I checked it) So the weight issue sould be ok.

just toying with the idea maybe it will be only to test out the 80

Will the stern handle the thrust from an 80 hp?

Tempting as it can be, i would pass on it bud.

You can always toy around with an 80 hp waterbug

From my recolection it ran pretty smooth. I would just leave it alone, its at its max rating anyway.

Well Folks I figured I would post this very early just as a reminder to all . Our Boss T.J and the admins, allowed me to do this again this year

Last years contest was extremely fun for both I and my girls. And Im sure for many others here.

I want to do this again this year, and with as much or more fun and pics to be added.

If anyone would like to donate a prize, that would be apreciated. All you need to do is pm me.

This is only for fun and for all to enjoy, laugh etc.

I will have a prize package ready, and if anyone wishs to donate something. I may be able to swing a 2nd or 3rd prize.

My Girls will be the judges again, and it will be their say

This is just a heads up for all here, theres plenty of soft water to be had in the meantime.

I will post again/bump as a reminder or if donations have been made, etc.

Our last years winner was Irishfield

Donaters where, myself, my kids, Bigugli and snapon tools

Who will be this years winner/winners

Good luck to all

Mid to late 30s. Nice fish BTW

Heres something I posted not too long ago. The lure is 4.25 inchs. You do the math Take 10 percent off for good measure.
