Its dark again at 5 frigin 30. I've been doing this for 55 years and it still gets to me.I'm not one of the many people who suffer from S.A.D.(seasonal affective disorder) but i still get moody and lethargic.Get up....its dark.Go to work all day, finish at 5.......ITS DARK AGAIN !!AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH At least this winter i have WFN and you guys, cause i may have gone a little snakey. How do you all cope with this dark crap.

I hear ya I changed the lower unit oil yesterday, today i cleaned her out,put the motor on a stand in the workshop,put the minn kota inside the boat, double wrapped her and put her in the yard to sleep, perhaps to dream of spring opening next season.Sleep well little Princecraft Sweet dreams, until we float again.......

jeez...i'm glad i dont have to hunt to eat The noise alone would mean that i'd starve to death.

The wife bought me a new Pentax DSLR back in Jan, and i've been experimenting with it for a couple of months. Its a K-x model. What they consider an Imtermidiate level DSLR.It came with a 18-55mm 3.5-5.6f lens. I have added a a 55-300 zoom f4-5.8 and anAF-540FGZ flash unit. Tripod and LoPro slinshot 350 bag. I have always been partial to the Pentax brand.I owned and still have a Pentax se1000 i got back in the 80's. it is in mint condition and i use it for b/w photography. The advantage i find with digital is that you see the result now, and if you dont like it, delete it and do it again. Also with this camera i can choose from 4 to 12 Mp.These are all done in 12Mp for the HD effects. Enjoy.and any comments are appreciated.

For those of us who dont have a retailer nearby where we can see them and price them, what are they comparable to in action, feel and PRICE. Can we order them directly from you on line or by phone.They SEEM to be well designed and manufactured from what i've seen on your website.Also, are they available to suit various budgets or are they all HIGH end.

vacuum cleaner, electric drill and a BRASS wire brush.Brass is soft so if you are careful it wont scratch the brick.dont forget safety glasses so any breaking wires from the brush dont fly in your eyes.

Lead is one of those things we know is dangerous, but we cant live without it.I think this is a good decission but at the same time we should continue to try and find subsitutes and eventually ban it.I imagine tons of it are lost by anglers from all over the world, and that some of it finds its way into the food chain somehow.I remember when they took lead out of gasoline.The automobile lobbyists went crazy, but eventually over time, we made the transition and are all still driving cars.I think it will be the same with the rest of the lead containing products.The Goverments will probably find a way to TAX the crap out of us for usng lead.

sweet !!! what the heck is that ugly thing.Kinda looks like a goby of sorts.

rootbeer doesnt go skunky does it

did i hear someone say rootbeer

Ya well it cant be worse than a liberal minority gov dancing to the music of a seperatist opposition.I just got a provincial tax assesment in the mail saying i owe 482 bucks from 2008 I get my taxes done by pros and they still fingered out how to get more out of me..............

DANG !!! i never even thought about that I figured because they are true stories and all................sorry

Holy crap !!! Are you serious?......I,m gonna start golfing. Less to remember. Nice catch Kwan.
