You sure that wasn't dunked in Nip first Bud? lol What ever happened to a good 'ol breather on the rocker alla '69 dodge etc...

We had a good roast out of one tonight bud. I'll tell Leah you're dissin her !

You got that right Raf. Normal landing speed for the A320 is 150 Knots on short final approach. Take off rotation speed under full power is 130 knots. Absolute minimum to float that sucker along in ground (water) effect above the water would most likely be 110 knots (~127MPH). (I have 4 hours in the air and 5 hours simulator in an A320....Thanks to Skyservice and Air Canada respectively). I wish someone had of got the landing on video... as I suspect that the flare angle was perfect and it slide along on the engine nacels and the tail for a bit before breaking the water surface... it had to or there would have been a different outcome IMHO.

Great stuff Sinker !!! Cold, but great. Cuts down on the "competition" out there for sure ! lol I did a 50 MPH boot up the laneway this afternoon on the sled... with my cutter and hut behind.... for a check run. Was a tad cold on the face and ears !

Direct is all I've found so far Rob. http://www.mrheater.com/products.asp?catid=17

He may wanna invest in a bigger ridge beam though Roy.....

Well if you wanna try before you buy.... you know where I live!

a good camera man never leaves his post !!!

Auger works great when sharp.... and when my right arms mobility is cooperating for the offset handles. I have no experience with the swede bore to compare.

Some good stuff for sure Roy... but I gotta turn it off. Can't handle anymore of the sensationalism ! Pilot did a great job of bringing her around and taking the best pick that he had for a landing spot. Something that goes thru a pilots mind (consciously or subconsciously) at least once a minute... or at least it should. He got one shot at it and getting it right the first time... PRICELESS !

It's on CNN... bell xpressview 500. cnn.com I imagine

Canadian Terrorists Down A320 Airbus in New York will be the headlines. Damn Canada Geese..... and a great glide and slide. Kudos to the crew !

Was just discussed! http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=27467

It is.. as if I could commit to that weekend I could make life easy for accoms for folks...BUT..

Well Rob, we'll have to get close to the date and see how my cottage full of lads is all gonna get there come the 19th. If we end up taking seperate vehicles.... I may be up well ahead of time, but can't commit at this point unfortunately.

Sorry Jamie.. but I'll never buy a mechanics car! Oh..sorry to you too Bernie ! lol Just go cautiously and walk away if anything doesn't go right. Be sure to take Louis up on his offer to be the "leash man" and pull you away.

No Rob... I'm serious.. and I left out twice a winter on the ice as well.. CO and OPP riding together. Both great guys !

You wear a skirt Rob ! lol Johnny... follow the bugger.. he knows where to go !

Not sure of the politically correct terminology.. but .. yes.

I hear yah... my usual as well .... then I posted where all the police drink in the winter ...and.... well.. lol

Even my brand new airtight Napoleon stove doesn't burn for that many hours.

6 times this year on Temagami, once on Nippising and usually twice a year in the fall on GBay.

It is a catalytic heater... and you can't turn them down too low or the autoshut off does just that. Huts are drafty and always open the exhaust flap.

John.. Fang's got you on your way.. stop at Gramps and pick up an Adventure fishing map for the hub and North arm area. $10 well spent and plastic laminated.

The lower unit oil and engine oil had better have been replaced after he drained it. Nothing worse than an empty case and bare gears thru the winter/condensation etc. If he's leaving them empty thru the winter....walk.
