Started like a good Frenchman when you was 12 eh Roy!

Yah OLD barstard you! Happy Birthday from a 45 year old ! LOL

Thanks for the effort in advance Brian. Lost my father to Cancer... 21 years ago tomorrow! I'm in for $5 a pound! Wayne

Brian...maybe explain to the folks about how many "pounds" could possibly be multiplied by their donation amount, etc. It's a great cause, that has probably effected every individual here in one way or another. Many people give in many different ways, but for those that don't yet and want to get on the band wagon...lay it out in black and white for them.

I'm not even gonna touch that one bud!! Have a great time on BOQ everyone...I'll be up North by then...or at least that's the plan!

Ah...you'll just get the magazine Rich...the customs guys will keep the lures! LOL

Sure Graham...make it even harder to wait ! Here's the same shot without the ugly redneck in it.... and a few known suspects around the fire of 2005

About as smart as wearing a Smiths Falls DCI jacket into a Perth Pool hall ! LOL Can you bring my daughters belongings back from Carleton while you are there... and save me a trip?

This is the one my daughter made me two Christmas's ago or a Lakewood Musky Monster box ~ $140cdn and like Musky66 not overly impressed with trying to get lures out of it ..or the fact that the material they used for the outer pockets absorbs and holds water!

You beat me to the THANK YOU Gerritt. Thanks from me as well Karl and Extreme Angler ! A nice assortment of new TOYS !

If it's actually good hardwood Eddy...IE..no popular mixed in... and I'm assuming those are 16" cut face cords. Cut/split and delivered for $180 a BUSH cord (3 face cords) is a GOOD price. It's a fair price even if they are 12" face cords (4 / bush cord) Good hardwood generally sells at around $240/BCord up here and approaches $300 when it's all oak and maple. Make sure you are getting a 4 foot high x 8 foot long pile for your $60 / face cord...as it sounds too cheap to be true if they're 16" rs..and if you are then you found a good source!

Gerritt never drinks more than one heybud...so it won't be toooo expensive for ya !

THANKS Rick ! From a father with a daughter in an Engineering program...

I'm just tryin to figure out how much Richard paid the guy that wrote the article.....

SUPPER !

Take care and like Lew said...do what the Doctors tell yah. We'll be looking for you healthy and ready to fish come Lakair!

The GOOD news is...it's full of water = you didn't crack the hull when it was ICE !

You don't have to ask how high my flag is flying, down at the gate, Peter.

Sick feeling for sure...I had CNN on in the shop when it came on about the shooting and haven't changed the channel. Makes a father with two daughters off at different Universities heart flutter I'll tell yah.

Congrats Roger. You made the right decission going with a new motor for the new boat ! You'll have many years of fun and warrantee security at the same time!

BEAUTY report Mike ! Well worth the travel that's for sure.

Freudian slip Terry? Good to see a fresh water post..from a boat..

You missed my context Lew. Sounded like Mike used the standard "charger" external of his boat to give it a full day charge..not a high quality onboard, automatically controlling unit as I alluded to in my second post. Wayne

Many brands of portable charges, outputs, are badly controlled and do more damage than good to batteries. They get you going when needed..but many boil the batteries/heat the plates if you leave them hooked up overnight. If you have a GOOD onboard charger for your trolling batteries...there is no reason you can't plug it in every night, no matter how little you've run the batteries down, when you come back in off the water....as they shut off automatically after taper charging for the last few % of capacity.

Yep...quit charging them so much. Your charger may be warping the plates together. The CTC nautilus battery I have in the steel work boat has a 98 date circle on the top of it. It was left sitting in the boat for 3 years from what I understand without use before I bought the cottage. I've charged it once and the marina charged it once last spring saying it was on it's way out (but in reality they had run it flat using the bilge pump in the boat without the motor running). We used it again all last season for the 25 Honda and I guess I'll see in two weeks if I'm going to get an 9th year since mfg from it! I've had my best luck with Interstate batteries though in the last 10 years...but when it comes right down to it there aren't many manufactures anyhow..with different names wrapped on them. I've historically had absolutely NO luck with CTC batteries...the one above is an odd ball to my experience with them and I never buy CTC batteries anymore.
