Aluma/Yami. If I wouldn't have found gotten the deal I did on my used Crestie I would have gone with the Alumacraft.

hehehe.

Sorry for the loss Dan.

Nice to see a report devoid of ice. Well done and thanks for sharing.

How bout makin him swim wit da fishes ?

Been quite a while.

2002 Sierra , crank down windows, 271,000 ks, rusted cab corners and a wonky front transfer case. LoL but feel like crying. That is of their doing. Their business plan is to maximize profits. Why should our business plan be any different. Why must the fall back position always be to attack each other in these matters? Low hanging fruit is the easiest to pick away at I guess. As increasingly expensive and difficult as it is to keep pace I haven't moved to another jurisdiction.

Yuppers DC. We support each other no matter how much we make.

I hear you Gerritt. As I stated there was no disrespect intended on my part. I will agree that many unions have done themselves and their members many a dis service over the years but we must keep in mind that no employer has had a gun held to their head and forced to sign any collective bargaining agreement(except for public sector unions which are what I consider a conflict of interest). I am employed in the private sector and hold membership in a private sector union in the sewer and water main sector. Operating 78,000 lbs of iron 10-11 hrs, 5-6 days a week in ever changing soil and weather conditions is challenging at the best of times and I am paid handsomely to do so and most days still love what I do. That being said the company that employs me has also made large profits over the years on the backs of members both past and present as is their right. Governments on the other hand spend far more than they take in. In times such as these it is even more important to stand our ground and protect what we have. We haven't created this downturn and as costs for essentials continue to rise I give those few bucks you mentioned back with every passing year and do not intend on giving up ground without a fight. This is much larger than any union. I paid almost $23,000 in taxes last year (+ 13% on everything else) and that would suit me fine if it was used to help my fellow man but it never seems to make it to those who need it most or to programs that make sound economic sense. Also keep in mind that if I make less that means less will be extorted from my family . Last time I checked our household had yet to turn a profit. Governments and their owners are your enemies, not my union pay rate.

Sad to hear of another closing. With all due respect Gerritt you might want to find another target. I belong to a private sector union and I can assure you I earn every nickle and dime I make. The system has been manipulated to give us what we are experiencing and has nothing to do with the protection for a fair wage, its workers and their families. Said it before, The ultra rich have taken their money out of the global economies and all thats left is the Boomers nest egg.

I admire your tenacity Christopher. Love that Koi/Goldfish mutant.

Great pic. As a teen, while fishing a particular back channel on Buckhorn I would sometimes get a glimpse turtles sunning themselves En masse like that.

Decades of time and oodles of dough re mi wasted and/or thrown at squeaky wheels and now in a time of crisis everyone is clamoring for a solution. After years of supporting rural areas while pursuing my passion for angling and watching the insane repetition with which these scenarios continue I can only speak for myself when I say "Good luck Lake Nip, but I'll fish elsewhere. Gimme a call if you ever get your crap together, or don't"

Gotta love the double post.

Sounds about right. No matter what the article says there will eventually be cost associations lest anyone believe only in the story the ink tells. Shell games are just that.

X2. Been there done that but never on purpose.

Nice fish!!

Way to pinch a few Steve. Glad to hear she's finally breaking up.

It happens to the best of us DB.

Got my fill as well, especially now that spring seems to have finally sprung. I would like to thank Rogers Media and all associated sponsors for their work and tireless efforts in trying to suck me in. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Exactly. Refuse to pay. Make enough of a stink about it they either call a cop or just let you go. Even with all the good the health system does they are another money wasting entity with a sense of entitlement as demonstrated time and time again by the party with a leader no one voted for. Bend over, its only going to get worse. Wishing all a happy Easter.

Gotta love the humorous banter.......

I run 2 Group 27 Interstates in parallel at 12 volts, charge at 10 amps with all wiring connected and into their fourth season they still punch out decent run time. Have gel house battery but offer no opinion vs lead acid. Start with new batteries. After 11 years of service it might be time to retire them.

Unfortunately I cannot separate due to the hours spent matching these quality products in order to obtain a perfectly balanced fishing system . Sorry.

Long Winter = Massive Itch. Good on ya and love the Brownie.
