Great stuff Gnoddy !!! A planner mast.. a couple down riggers and you can follow Lloyd around as well ! LOL

Is there a local dealer? Can you get warrantee service?

Story and picture is fake... This is the real picture

Just was being cautions because you didn't specify a date. Some fishing opportunities have been lost in the Spring in many zones.

HAHA.. that's all we ever used ours for at the other house. In fact we left it there for the new owners to continue the use of drying freshly laundered clothes.

Protectin themselves at the brothel eh !

I grew up in a butcher shop... I've still rolled over and use an electric carving knife for Turkey/Chicken and roasts ! Haven't tried one on fish YET.

Can't help with any of those locations. Just check the new 2008 regs so you have no surprises and end up playing cards for the week.

Electronics don't feel "wind chill"... only you do and other living things.

Dave's not their man.. but lots of others to waste the day in the office with Pete! LOL

Ferguson's Father should have never called in a favour and got Jr the job.

Good advise Dabluz... and why I told him to put starting batteries in there, to do what they're designed for.

That's my magic hammer. I usually hide it away when I take pics of customers airplanes! LOL

Well said Grimace. As kids we use to dare each other to see who could touch open water on the Rideau.. right below the towns main locks. Thank god we all survived doing it...as if you went in it was 2 miles of ice to the next lock/rapids before you wuz comin up. Anyone that has seen the current going by the Mariners Inn in SFalls knows what I'm talkin about. Condolences to his family.

Can we say that here before 8PM.... LOL

Finished up blocking all the amphib float planes, up off their tires, today and had a notion to check my boat trailer wheels, since it of course was the first thing I blocked up off it's tires! Two out of four wheels had some play in them...rocking play. Hmmm me thought. Not a lot, but I'm pretty picky and have to be with what I do around here. Popped the bearing buddys off, pulled the cotter pin and tightened the nut a tad on each. One wheel only needed one notch on the castle nut.. the other two. NEW cotter pins and buddys back on and re-filled with grease. All rocking gone...wheels spin nice. Thought since many of the younger lads..and maybe some of the older lads...that are getting into their own boats and trailers may not have done much wrenching in their times. Took 5 pics to show how to remove the bearing buddys and put it back on. May keep you from scratching your head if you're on the side of the road/in your laneway and can't figure out how to get to the hub retaining nut when your bearings go. Bearing Buddy To remove use a block of wood and a hammer. Light taps.. first one side.. then the other.. working it back and forth until it starts to rock it's way out. Once it's out a little ways tap it so it's centered and it should pull right out. To reinstall..push it in by hand nice and straight..place wood across it and then give it a good rap with a hammer and then refill with grease. Do not over fill your bearing buddy. A couple pumps until you just see the "plunger" (round disc with grease zert in the center of it) moving towards you. The whole idea is for them to maintain a pressure (they say 3psi) on the grease. This positive pressure keeps water from flowing in when you launch. To check if you're good for grease try rocking the plunger side to side with a finger on each edge. It should move in and out about an 1/8th of an inch and you're good to go. Maybe the next time someone does a bearing change they can post those pics up and you'll have a full "how to". I will also note that my bearing buddys have a rubber cap over top of them to keep them clean. Learned today that you should pull said caps before storage and dry them out. Found a bit of ice in them. No big deal on stainless...but no ice would be better than some ice ! REMEMBER - COTTER PINS ARE A SINGLE USE ITEM. Buy a couple new ones before you even start. 1/8" x 1.5" to 2" long will cover you and give you no excuse. IF the cotter shears off one side of your trailers wheels can self tighten... the other fall off!

She bakes a nice cake don't she Terry ?

On the female side or male side Terry?

He's not use to "plucking" a duck !

If everyone had longer arms... they'd be even bigger ! LOL Not even gonna start guessin weights... let alone lengths

The original is clearer/crisper. The edit has blurred key items ...

I like the original...

Sounds like some great action... and here everyone wasn't bothering because it was all muddy ! lol

It sure is !
