  1. Anyone that uses a holiday to propose.. couldnt' find a good gift for the holiday!!! Just sayin....
  2. How accurate are they... depends on what threat level the USA's homeland security is running on on any given day!
  3. Keep up the fight Richard... it seems to be going in the right direction! If you get to thinking and need some motivational videos... just ask !
  4. It's 90 miles North of Toronto Paul!! It's DIRECTLY West of me here in Penetang by 164 Nautical miles
  5. At this rate you'll be able to cast off the pier/shore of any of the 3 locks in town, or anywhere in between them along the shores on the Rideau. If there happens to be ice... Silver Lake on #7 (West of Mallorytown) could be day trip for Lakers.
  6. I'm in the same boat Roy.... I'd joined the board about 4 months before that dreadful day. Live on Lew through the memories!
  7. I carry a knife clipped inside my pocket (clip visible on the outside) at ALL times to "clean my nails"! Hell.. it even made it on a flight to Manchester in 2009. Forgot it was even there.. and they were happy, when the wand went off, that I threw my loose change in the tray at Pearson !
  8. Truck quality ice??... and I'm planning on trolling for 'skis come Friday !
  9. At least Ignace Air and Lakeland Airways know which way they go !!
  10. If I had the equivalent of 675 HP I wouldn't care which way I put it on either Rob. Probably the only way it fit his "canoe" rack!
  11. Was out on GBay on Tuesday.. down a good 6" since the time we were out before!
  12. So am I Terry... I just pull the 102C off the bow of my boat and take it ice fishing all winter. The first 2 years I just sat out on my sled seat in -30C or worse while everyone else was toasty in their huts. Unit was as quick as I could tell... I move my jig... the screen moves in unison. ..Now back to a guy asking about a flasher!!!
  13. Depends on what she's chosing to do with her friends over you Gord!!!
  14. I've been asked a few hundred times or more why I fly with the boat "backwards" on my airplane. Came across this today.. and it pretty much tells the tale, as the boat is semi streamline going backwards.. it's not going pointy end first! 2.6 times more draggy going what many would think is the correct way. Your dynamics knowledge for today.... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ftq8jTQ8ANE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  15. Nice Chad... I might just be up to Temagami early next week to check out the progress on the boat plant, might have to bring some fishing gear!
  16. Yep.. flat file across the face and a small needle file on the "teeth".
  17. I have the same question Rob. My little 2Hp x 9 inch lightning has THOUSANDS of holes under it's belt thanks to 6 guys all liking to use it when we're on Temagami for a week at a time. Still cuts like it was new and this will be it's 5th year. I think part of the issue is ones like mine use the ripper blades on them and these strikemasters and the likes use the same blades the hand augers use... and they just don't hold up to the abuse of being powered. MIND YOU.. this Tempest is showing it has a serrated tempered blade ! The strikemaster that I bought of Misfish's brother Rob had two normal blades on it just like a hand auger.
  18. We've got ice to our dock now... all I care about this year!
  19. Rumour has it that the MNR introduced Fisher release program (to control porqupines) is now out of control... and they reintroduced the cougar to cull the Fishers back... as it has few if any other predators.
  20. So what are you saying Bernie... in another 10 years he should be able to go ice fishing again!! Congrats Ernie... nose to the grind stone and remember there's nobody gonna pat you on the back but yourself for your hard work. It can get lonely, but enjoy the other side of the freedom!
  21. ..and it's a good one Art.. and why my "thought" on that ICON to pop up automatically that says "contact Mod" so the OP can click it if they just don't understand. Most just understand and carry on...
