I found this interesting.

2 long time team mates get into a spirited fight.

I'm thinking the ottawa dressing room wasn't (and probably still isn't) all sunshine and apple pie.

Meanwhile, senators owner Melnyk and business partner file lawsuits against each other for hundreds of millions of $$$. The whole franchise seems like a circus.

Slip of the tongue; or not?
 

If I remember correctly, studies indicated that there was no difference in accident rates between holding a cell phone or using hands free to speak.  They were both equally distracting.

Texting would be another matter though.    

If so, there is a solution...

Now this has some merit. When I rigged out of my 14 ft tinny, I had just a normal finder.No GPS. I went by the angle of the cable. It does work.

So the angle of the dangle determines how much action you'll be getting?

I didn’t think most guys would admit to having undersized lower end ports

LOL

sorry. 

Well, the issue is that my tool was too large for the hole.  I had to find someone with a smaller tool...  ?

Thanks for your help, I was able to pick up an adapter today.

I've always wondered.. is fogging oil really necessary? I run seafoam every other tank and always use shell 91.

I don't think that there's any connection to Seafoam, Shell 91, and fogging.  Seafoam cleans out the engine and may stabilize the fuel as well.  Shell 91 is ethanol free; fogging is to prevent corrosion.

 

I have a Mercury branded Tohotsu 5hp sail pro kicker motor.  I tried to change the lower end oil today.  Unfortunately, it uses smaller ports than my 50hp Merc, so I cannot use my oil pump to fill it back up.

Has anyone else run into this issue?  Do you know anyone who carries; either an adapter for a standard oil pump, or a smaller sized pump for these outboards?  

I haven't been to Bass Pro lately; but you should also keep Sail in mind.  There is one close to Bass Pro.

Yeah, they really messed up the spelling of muskie on that one.  ?

Oops....yes I was mistaken. Must have had a glass of tainted laff water to be so delusional. 

So we beat them only once. LoL

I assume that it's the same water that you've been drinking for quite some time now.  And the same water the Senators management drinks.  Toronto water seems fine.

Yes twice this season and 5 times straight.

Yes it is surprising and I dont expect it to last. 

Are you counting periods; or games?  They haven't even played the Stars twice this season; let alone beat them twice.

Ive seen these here..   im pretty sure they are fine... lotta pilots use em for survival rifles cause the break down.

I want one of these.. soooooo bad....   great 410 for birds..  (and with a couple drinks i bet i can get that accent down pat too!!)

 

 

I guess you would need to plug some chambers to hunt in shot gun mode.  

Are these legal?  Something to consider if you plan to do this a lot.

They become "problem" pages, they're negative most of them.  Just like our evening news...  In Lunds case, I wonder how many Lund owners are happy with their boats but just don't go online on any regular basis to confess their love? lmao!

Good point.

That's right. Sens beat the Stars twice and the Kings......and the laffs lmao!  

 

How far back are you going to claim that Ottawa beat the Stars twice?  It wasn't this season.

Never the less, I am surprised by their performance so far.  If they keep it up, there may be some good deals on tarps; maybe even in time to winterize some boats.

Flossing is tossing your rig out there waiting for something to swim into it.  Mouth, tail, ass, whatever.

No, flossing is specifically getting the fishing line in the fish's mouth.

Think of flossing your teeth.  The floss goes in one side of your mouth and out the other.  That's where the name comes from.  If the fish swims into your line and ends up with the line going in one side of its mouth and out the other, then the fish has been flossed.

Any attempt to hook a fish somewhere other than their mouth is snagging regardless of actual technique.

That's called flossing.   And no you cannot keep the fish.

Actually, a flossed fish is legal as long as its hooked in the mouth.  Although, flossins is frowned on, it would be too difficult to enforce a law that attempted to separate fish that were flossed versus fish that bit a lure or bait.  But, hooking it in the body is called snagging; not flossing.

My vehicles have all been rear wheel drive, what worked best for me was a pair of studded snow tires on the drive wheels, I always had a spare set of studded snows on rims to change over to in season.

Studded tires are not legal in southern Ontario; and would be overkill for the Toronto area.

If Sundin had wanted to leave Toronto, he would have signed in the offseason, not half way thorugh the season in mid-December.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but it seems a bit funny to blame someone for refusing to waive a no-trade clause.  What's the point in having a no-trade clause if the player shouldn't be able to use it?  I would have liked to see the Leafs get something for him; but I just don't see why a player would be obligated to not use a clause in his contract.

I still have never forgiven Sundin and don’t know that I will.

Managment wanted him to waive his no trade. He says ‘no. I want to be here as a leaf’ ok fine. Next season he signs with Vancouver. 

That's 100% on the Leafs; he wanted to finish his career with Leafs. The Leafs chose not to resign him.  He eventually ended up signing with Vancouver (he actually missed a good chunk of the season because if signed later in the year)

It doesn't make sense to blame Sundin for the Leaf's decision to not bother re-signing someone who wants to play for them.

What a joke ...

after Vegas set the bar with their opening ceremonies during the playoffs, I think NHL marketing teams are trying to come up with ideas ... that one was lame for sure ....

I guess they knew that they couldn't reach the top bar, so they decided to go for the bottom one.  ?
