Asking for donations (fishing related)
cheaptackle replied to manitoubass2's topic in General Discussion
Rick I was thinking about what it might be like to take an extra couple days off from school and head up that way for your event as well. Just turning it over in my mind... Michael -

Asking for donations (fishing related)
cheaptackle replied to manitoubass2's topic in General Discussion
I use the Interac email transfers directly from my bank account. Fees range from .50 to 2.00 unless you're doing huge amounts. Takes from 30 seconds to an hour for it to go thru. No charge cards involved at all and fully secure to boot. The only bump in the road is the receiver has to answer a security question created by the sender - and that's a no brainer once you've done it. Rick, my friends might be back by the 30th so I may be a little earlier in my effort if that's the case. Michael -
That height difference is enough to throw off the abs, odometer and probably (I say this with no authority at all) would cause the computers (fuel management etc) to go batty or on strike with the wheels turning faster than they were calibrated for. I didn't save the link but I googled tire sizes for my 2005 base caravan and got a lot of information from a number of sources about what can and can't be used on my vehicle. That and a couple of discussions with my mechanic helped me to make my choices. With your vehicle being a 2016 I'd really be concerned about voiding the warranty with that much of a departure from the tire size it came with. Oh yeah - unless it's not a real concern your gas mileage would drop noticeably as well (might even nosedive!) Michael

Tires- NF- 20" rim size. Price? Wow!
cheaptackle replied to Bill Shearer's topic in General Discussion
Yup, that bigger hole in the middle does jack up the price! I think the used tire suggestion by Tom and Kijiji by huzsba are your two best bets. Also, there's a lot (growing every day it seems) of Facebook buy & sell groups that I've even had some success with. Michael -
Plastic Black end caps for square piping? NF

I hope you get a kick out of this one!(NF)
cheaptackle replied to SirCranksalot's topic in General Discussion
It was in bad taste blah blah - now nobody else needs to say it so I can jump in and relate just how I had to explain why I was laughing my butt off in school this morning - TWICE! The first time was when I read the joke, the second time was when I was just thinking someone would hop all over it saying it wasn't PC - that's when the teacher read my screen and said that was disgusting! Couldn't bring myself to explain why I was laughing all over again, sure didn't want to tell her I was laughing at her and why! I gotta stop reading this stuff at school (but I can't!) Michael -
If money is truly not a concern try googling "wood pellet stoves" and learn about the ones that have an auto feeder. Big bux but big convenience too! Michael

A true airtight wood stove allows you to control the amount of air it receives to allow combustion, usually thru a pair of knobs. This keeps the fire burning but at a slower rate than if it were allowed all the air it could handle. Think of how much wood a campfire goes thru - it gets all the air it can handle so whooosh! In an airtight the only air it gets is via the intake which can be damped down to nothing (fire would go out then). Other models will have air controls but their construction doesnt allow 100% control of the combustion air (the one in Canucks link doesn't seem to be a true airtight but it ain't bad either). Thus with a true airtight you can get a longer burn, use less wood and keep some control on the temperature. Non-airtights might see you loading it up every hour or two vs 6-9 hrs with an airtight. Get one with a glass door and you'll have a night light to boot! You can even buy a fan unit that sits on top and the heat makes the fan spin, moving the air around. Michael

John get yer pooter warmed up and hit kijiji or any of the facebook buy n sell groups. You could go new for up to 2 grand or more depending on what you select or pick up used for as little as 300 bux. It all depends on what you can find with a little digging. Installation in a bunkie shouldn't be too hard BUT if you buy used try to make sure you can get matching chimney fittings if it comes with any insulated chimney pipes to adapt to your situation. You can run the chimney out thru a wall or up thru the roof depending on what you get/buy. Just be sure to safely maintain clearances and/or install something between the stove and walls (sheet metal etc) to help reflect the heat as well as protect the walls. There's a ton of info you can google to help with the install - take advantage of it before you even start shopping but especially before you cut any holes! Good Luck, post pix we wanna see it all!

Oil filled electric radiator would keep it toasty but would take a while to get it there. I use a fan forced utility electric (like one at giant tiger for about 39.00) for quick hear while electric radiator warms up as my landlord thinks oil is too expensive to run the furnace & heat the whole house. I'm comfortable but I wouldn't want his electric bill. You're running a genny so it shouldn't make a huge deal for you. I'd be considering a small airtight woodstove myself, if you haven't already.

Abu Garcia 7001 repair help needed
cheaptackle replied to mike rousseau's topic in General Discussion
Have you tried Rocky's in orillia? I just did a quick google for abu parts and their name came up. 705-325-3528, 3 Royce ave # 1 & 2, Orillia, L3V 5H8 is where they are now. Michael -
Change the decals on the hood like "nobody else" does? Michael
-
Good question! While this isn't as definitive as you're looking for, it's a pretty safe be that whatever the manufacturer has labelled the motor with on it's data plate will be what is "legal" for rating purposes. Whether that is prop or flywheel I can't say, I've never given it any concern before this. Bears looking into. I'll let you know if I find out. Michael

Too funny Brian! Mine sinuses is burning from the pepsi that I just shot all over my monitor. Oh well, guess it (and my sinuses) needed a good cleaning anyways! (any secrets for stopping the burning?) Betcha Musky Plug's next post will copy your idea! Michael

Geez and I thought I might have been picking on him a bit much in his introduction thread. Maybe he doesn't need his face recognized for reasons we don't know and he doesn't feel a need to discuss it. Perhaps he's just shy. Who knows and who cares? I sure don't. Nice catch! I think it's the IMG code you need to paste in from photobucket to get the pictures to appear, as I said before it's been a while. Keep 'em coming! Michael

Don't be telling about the goats! Michael
-
I think we scared him off... Good thing I didn't mention the initiation rites to be held after his 5th post...(or that he picks up the tab for it too!) Now who's in charge of bringing the goats this month? Michael

Please, tell me that people are not this dim. NF
cheaptackle replied to Dave Bailey's topic in General Discussion
"Please tell me people are not this dim" Sorry, can't do that! Gotta agree with some of the comments though - the guy's a genius if his goal was to never be asked to run that machine ever again! Michael -
I'm guessing you may have tried to embed the pictures - which I think can be done to a maximum of three - you would probably be more successful using a site like photobucket and copying the link (can't remember the exact title of the link, been a while, but the details are there) to your post.
