  1. They might kick me out of Temagami soon... I'm hedging my bets! lol I'm told there is Muskie there... I have my doubts and why I'm asking.
  2. This is above McCoy Chute... don't want any hot spots, locations or anything, just wanna know if the 'skis are that far up the river before I bother looking at a piece of property. Thanks!
  3. What a beautiful day today! While cutting the runway with the tractor... I saw 20 juvenile turkeys, 2 Toms, 2 Does came bounding over the fence and across the runway and the highlight of the day...an 8 point buck that I actually had to beep the tractor horn at 5 times to get him out of my way in the centre of the runway. He must be horny if he's after the Zetor as well...
  4. RSA First Mate is Dec 1st to April 1st East of the Ontario/Manitoba border. That won't stop me from Muskie fishing into December if I can get her in the water.
  5. Roy... how do you get the hooks to screw into that shiney brown one?? This fall/winter, other than ice fishing, I'm going for a stress test to make sure I'm the odd ball in my family with a good heart! Then I have a couple sets of amphibs floats to build and an airplane to refurbish. Possibly a wreck to repair as well, if I ever get the quote into the adjuster.
  6. The Blue Angel in the last shot going supersonic under the goldengate bridge... blew the windows out of many of the boats watching the airshow. It was his last performance before retirement, but he still took a lot of crap for that.
  7. Art, the old WWII technology is designed to run on 80/87.. which has about 5 times less lead in it than the 100LL that we can only get now. 100LL has about 15 times the lead in it that our LEADED regular car fuel use to have. It's the extra lead that causes valve sticking and erosion. The guides don't really get burnt, they just get worn away until they get so sloppy the valve stem can coc k and break. I hate the smell of car gas in an airplane, but I'm thinking I'm going to have to go that way and use premium and lead additive to create something similar to the 80/87. Just becomes a PITA constantly checking fuel sources for ethanol before filling the jugs/aircraft fuel tank. As ethanol is an absolute no no in an aircraft and it's sealed fuel tanks.
  8. thecraftyprince has a ficht.. Graham.. you still around?
  9. That's about how it works Raf. New valve guides and we'll "buff" them to size! lol Tomorrow I'm gonna change the oils in the Verado and Kicker, winterize the plumbing and get the boat ready for Muskie hunting!
  10. After the double slash crap.. back of knee and ankle he should be suspended for intent to injure!
  11. UUGGGHHHH !!! I don't mind doing this so much when it's a paying customer.... but this is my own machine! I'd much rather be fishing on a friday afternoon, that's for sure. They don't make fuel like they use to... exhaust valve guides shot after 215 hours. Clearance is like throwing a wiener down a hallway.
  12. Not my boat that's getting seized.. I don't care...
  13. Hey.. I know that spot! lol Nice one Buck !
  14. Damn I love Muskie reports. Next the guy will be draining the engine oil out of your truck and sabatoging the outboard.
  15. Sorry brother Art... it's just an avenue for our Government to make more money off you with less effort.
  16. I know you're the Captain and it's your boat.. and you get to chose the mates.. BUT Jose??
  17. Congrats fella !! I hope to get out there soooonnn !
  18. You in the back field tonight??
  19. I'd buy the 45 acre Island that's for sale, with 2 cabins and an airstip, on the Ottawa River first....
  20. Amazing they got that shaft right into the end of the cavern the trapped miners were in. Pretty sure I shed a tear about the time the guys son broke down... not sure... hope nobody got any video of that.
  21. LOL.. we actually have 3 copies of excite bike and three NES units... That unit was found in the shed when we bought the camp. We also have our original here that we bought the kids in about 1989 and another that our daughter picked up somewhere along the line when going to Ryerson.
  22. It's gonna play out the same way these threads have for the last 7 years. Why do we go down this road every fall...
  23. Come on up Frank. Camp in the Provincial Park, right across from my dock, and I'll take you out on a Laker Charter.
