I dont see why not.. I would have stopped him after one fish though..Not sure if any laws were broken or not..

Hopefully Guy Boucher ..Thats who i want..Has the best PK on any team in any league he has been in..

ha ha ha ford seriously needs to get back in the game with building reliable trucks again..After the eco boost failure now a gimic like this..I just shake my head and smile..

I love this grab! Good for Shanny! All the haters will hate this move cause it brings nothing but positiveness and a great start..As for Buffalo ha ha ha looks good on them..

Paul you need to try more blight resistant strains..We switched to Sicilian saucers when they were the only survivors in our garden the one summer..Since then I harvest my seeds from them tomatoes. I haven't lost a plant to blight in 2 years now. Where are you located? I wouldn't mind giving you a 6 pack of plants to try in your garden if you would like.

Wow just goes to show you never know it all.. I have never heard of this method..Also would love to know more.. Where did you get them from?

BT isint exactly organic. We use diatomaceous earth or DE.. We use an old flour sifter over the plants.. Reapply after the rains..We also use it to control slugs. Go out at night and cover any slugs with it. Its also bee friendly..

We also garden every year..Have been since my Grandfather taught me. Our Garden is about 35x20 and 15x15. We have a hobby *x8 greenhouse that i built from scrap patio doors. We raise 9 egg laying hens and keep Rabbits for meat.. Use all the rabbit manure to make organic compost tea..Everything goes full circle around here. What goes in our animals goes right back into the gardens. This year were growing Red, white and black currents, Strawberries, Rhubarb. Were also making our own tea this year for the second year in a row. We grow Tulsi (Holy Basil) tea Lemon bergmont and Chamomile teas. As for vegetables this year were doing the following.Sicilian saucer and heritage cherry tomatoes .Swiss chard, collards, 2 types of kale, broccoli, cabbage, green and yellow beans, Brussels Sprouts, zucchini and winter squash. All the stuff I mention above I started in the greenhouse..It sure is nice to be out there messing around in soil with a foot of ice and snow out there.. Anyway that's me and if anyone local needs any rabbit manure...Look me up!

Nasty things..Where there is 2 there a million more..Keep a good eye on the dog,,

lol we have to put down the fishing rods to dig the habs fans whenever we can...By the time the Habs get punted the Leafs fans have had about 40 hours more on the water...lol

I wanted to paint the aluminum where its on a side wall type spot and glue vinyl everywhere else..No more carpet..I want to be able to wash this boat after every use.. I also wanted to maybe paint the aluminum everywhere but the floor.. I want clean ans simple..Nothing worse then getting hooks snagged into carpet..My daughter was a master at that..

What about goof off? would it hurt the aluminum? Thanks for the heads up on the switch! Im going to order one tomorrow..

Rangers! Great job boys..While the Caps deserved that game in OT they just couldn't finish..That's the difference between a true leader and guys like Ovie..Just a flash in a pan until it counts..ha ha ha ..Ok i said that tongue in cheek...lol But he seriously cant carry the team as far as scoring goes..I called Rangers Ducks from the beginning.. Oh hey does anyone remember when the Habs were in the playoffs...Awesome eh! lol

Fair enough..lol Anyway I said earlier I broke apart the trim switch when pulling the wires off the back. Im looking for new one that will fit..Size doesnt seem to be an issue as they all look pretty much the same size..But all I can find are on off on switches. I need a trim switch that returns to neutral when not being used. On or off wont work, Does anyone know what that switch is called? I searched trim switch and rocker switch but cant come up with the right one does anyone know where I can find one..Here is the size and similar type I need but not on off on http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Waterproof-Green-LED-Light-Rocker-Switch-On-Off-Boat-Marine-Electrical-3-Pins-/271418474541?hash=item3f31cd402d&vxp=mtr

Thats good to know..Ill give it a try this weekend for sure..What is MEK?

I was told that acetone can get into your blood via osmosis and is very damaging.. Always wear gloves..

Im just going to use 3/4 inch fur plywood and coat it in resin..Every where I screw or rivet Ill pump the hole full of clear silicone..My wife is good at making patterns,so ill enlist her for making templates

lol dont laugh..There is a guy that fishes the bay with an 18 foot fiberglass inboard..The motor quit running years ago..He has a nice Honda 9.9 tiller to slowly move around the bay..One heck of a walleye fisherman I might add..lol Also does anyone have any tips on how to get the glued on carpet off the aluminum? Its glued everywhere.. Live wells consoles its everywhere..I can pull the carpet off no problem, but the remaining glue and carpet stuff it stuck there good. What can I use without damaging the aluminum?

Lol thats what i was thinking too..However I just heard back from my good friends from Ohio.. They have given me use of their 14 footer for as long as they are not here in Canada! So knowing that now I may just take it completely apart and do it right.

Thanks for all the advice and the link..Ill keep you all posted as to my progress..The boat is not here with me so ill only get to work on it when im at the trailer..Thats going to kill me softly...lol

Good eye! Thats exactly what it is..Im reading in the manual its not an 18 footer at all...Its a 17.2 lol

Would also love any tips for getting all the glued on carpet off the aluminum of the boat? Its under the gunnel (SP) and everything..

I wont get back up there until Friday for the long weekend.. So I have a ton time to plan..I was thinking of installing a new smaller tank and adding in floor storage. Right now we just use a red marine fuel tank. Man i really dont want to tear all that wiring apart. When i took the front apart the switch broke for the motor trim when i was gently pulling the wires off the back of the switch. Good luck replacing that switch now..I hear ya Dave my gut tells me to rip it all out but im no electrician.

Nice report Rick! I was hoping to see fish...lol

So here's what I decided to start this weekend.. I wanted to dive into this in April but the boat was in lock down in a barn.. I just got her out this weekend. The floors were soft the last 2 years so i milked it as long as possible.. Well I have to admit im in it up to my eyes..Its an 18 foot with 2 live wells and a walk thru window. The floor is so bad the only thing keeping me from falling thru is the carpet. The passenger console came right off, the screws holding it to the floor came right out effortlessly... All i had to do was drill out the side rivets and lift it out..Now the drivers side is where I need the advice..Its just a bad and rotten as the other side. My question is, is there any way to take that section of floor out without disconnecting all the cables, steering and wiring? Can it just be lifted a little to drill out the old rivets and slide new plywood under, or is this a major project now including ripping all that apart too? Also what about that monstrosity of a fuel tank.. I dont use it as its part full of water. I have never used it in the 3 years I have owned this boat.i want to get it out of there as there seems to be a way for water to get in it. If I drill out all the rivets that hold those 5 inch aluminum strips will that mess up the structural integrity of the vessel? Ill be replacing everything with aluminum rivets and stainless hardware. I will also be using 3/4 inch fur plywood coated with resin all over including the cuts. Is there any more advice you all want to lend? How about a hand? lol all the beer you can drink (after) and some awesome fishing on the Trent River! Edited to add that ill be using marine grade vinyl flooring when its all done..
