Whopper

Yep I know the opener is the 21st but I have a couple of friends going in a week early to harass the pike before I get there, I guess I'll have some catching up to do

Selfish reasons I guess. I'll be at Little Vermilion just north of Red Lake for the walleye opener and from past experience the closer to ice out the better the fishing, or should I say catching.

Thanks Wayne, I can only hope I will be in the shame shape Connie is when I get to his age

Good for you Simon but I was hoping the ice out in your area or just north wouldn't come until the 14th

Good to hear you got out and had some fun Wayne, not bad company either I'll get a crack at some pike here in a few short weeks

Hello Sandy, you two are going to miss a good pasta dinner and a couple of good fish fries in a few weeks Take Care

Actually from what I have read there has been a few fatalities from people running at high speeds and getting hit.

Keeping an eye on OhioFisherman and I haven't done a very good job at it lately

Happy Birthday Pete

Happy Birthday Norm

Happy Birthday Wayne

I believe this was May 14th 2009 waiting out a snow storm in Balmertown to fly into Little Vermilion The day after One of the best catching trips ever

Wayne we just wired one up in a church a couple months back, worked pretty well. Do an internet search, your pretty handy I'm sure you could install one

Billy Bob Just a suggestion, have your son call people that are trade sensitive for home inspections, plumbers, electricians, HVAC and Structural/Roof ect. IMHO No one guy is qualified to do a whole house inspection and give a fair assessment. Even Mike Holmes brings in the experts

LOL May 2009 I tried to keep count and quit after the first two hours of the first day, it was unreal. Grubs weren't even needed Can't get here soon enough for me, I'll be armed and ready for battle. The fish will probably win

Billy Bob I have a 1900SQ ft two story house, gas heat, gas hot water, 3ton 16SER AC unit, electric range, electric dryer along with all the bells and whistles of a modern home and I have a 100amp service. Been at my current location for over 23years and never had a problem period. Besides everything in my house I have three 20amp 120volt dedicated circuits just for Christmas lights (I tend to get carried away )and just for kicks a few years back during the holidays while the wife was cooking Christmas dinner, the dryer going, most of the lights on, a couple of TV's going and all my Christmas lights on I put an amp meter on my incoming service and I was drawing less than 70amp a leg. So unless the house your son is looking at has electric heat he should be golden. As you said with minimal info you have this is my best guess. If Insurance companies wouldn't insure homes with 100amp services most of the homes in my area would not be insured. RETodd is correct about the two prong plugs, as long as they have not be altered to grounded outlets the home inspector shouldn't say anything about them. Take a look around your house to see exactly how many things are plugged in that have three wire (grounded) cords

Not true 100amp service is probably big enough, but it all depends what's in it.

Happy Birthday bud

Not true Lew, locally it went up .24 a gallon over night. I hope that makes ya feel better Misty probably figures he getting a deal right about now

Just curious Phil, who should I have sent the bill for a new prop?, the bad part about it I knew they were there. I chalked it up to my own stupidy So I guess Canadians don't sue anyone for any thing eh ? Just for the record I think this guy or his insurance company is fishing. Nobody in their right mine would have a boat like that that didn't had insurance to cover such, unless they could afford to right it off.

LOL Joey Kind of the way it goes at my house....well sort of Good luck finding some fishing partners Wayne

I cried uncle a month ago Yep, I've had enough

I'll have to keep that in mind the next trip up, I have a hard time saying no when people find out what I can do Price sounds reasonable to me

Good thread, I've had the pleasure of fishing with or along side of a bunch of people here. Become good friends with a few folks that I have spent vacation time/fishing trips with. The first person I met was Maureen at Lakair after driving all night for the G2G, it was about 4:30am and I was sitting dockside drinking a beer, Lew was the second and Wayne put me up that weekend. I've spent a few trips with mistyriver and his family, always a great time. TennesseeGuy has put up with me for weeks at a time, I share his love for NWO DanC, although I have never met personally (hopefully we can change that one day)he helped me out of a jamb one summer while I was in his neck of the woods Paul if your up for it let's do it again this summer, I'll get Don on board I agree Lew, I have yet to meet anyone here that I wouldn't invite into my home....well maybe not JP, don't think I keep enough beer in the frig One of these days Andy There's a few more here I would like to fish with, one never knows where I'll pop up

Thanks I needed a good chuckle this morning
