Solar panel for charging deep cycles?
John Bacon replied to pike slayer's topic in General Discussion
You still need something to charge it with. A litte solar panel is not gowing to recharge the extra battery in a day. If the OP is roughing it for a 4-5 days; I doubt that he would be bringing a solar installation big enough to actually do anything worth while. -
From what I understand, they are not native. They did not exist in southern Ontario prior to about 1900 or so ago. They are believed to have extended their range from out west. So, they could be considered invasive. They did have a population explosion prior to the popularity of DDT. DDT did wipe most of them out and they did make a rebound (understatement) in recent years. I don't think the cause of their expension from out west is fully understood. The presence of alewife (another invader) is one theory as to why they expanded their range.

You would probably need a solar panel the size of the boat to have any chance of keeping the battery charged. If you left it at the cottage, you would probably still need a similar sized panel. The little ones that you get from Cdn Tire may extend the charge on the battery slightly; but they are not going to fully recharge a battery in one day. -

The golf course is owned by the founder of Bass Pro; so there is a bit of a fishing connection... https://uk.news.yahoo.com/billionaire-discovers-intricate-cave-system-080823966.html

Shakedown on the shakedown trip (called city hall)
John Bacon replied to kickingfrog's topic in General Discussion
There are rare cases where a group can control the water. Long Point and Lake Scugog come to mind. There was a court case (probably over a hundred years ago now) confirming that the owners of the south end of Lake Scugog can indeed keep boats out of their area. The federal government gave up the rights to Long Point. They do keep people away from navigatable water as well. There may be other places where they have that power as well. -
You should be able to get more than that from a battery.
-
The motors that I have owned would still turn over with the kill switch disconnected. The kill switch affects the spark plugs, not the starter motor. I would start with the battery connections; and then the battery itself.

Well at least they didn't choke in the fourth.

Do the Leafs have any rights to him after next season? He was only signed to a one year contract.

I don't see a line either. I am using a PC with Windows 7

I don't seem to recall Ottawa winning any cups either. You mean like Bryan Berard or Alexi Yashin?
-
There are after market electric motor pull cords available. I purchased one from Cabelas or Bass Pro in the US as few years ago. A product designed for that purpose may last longer.

If they manage a win in game 7, they will probably go pretty quick, maybe in four, in the second round.
-
Maybe you should watch the fourth quarter tonight. It looks like they need some help.
-
I think outboards are included too; but it may only be smaller ones.

What is it with young people today? NF
John Bacon replied to Big Cliff's topic in General Discussion
I would trust the results of studies over anecdotal evidence. Perhaps none of the ones that you met are psycopaths. However, the studies that I have read indicate that CEOs are more likely to be psycopaths than any other profession. That doesn't mean that they are all psycopaths; just a higher percentage than other professions. Like I said previously, I am just the messenger. A quick Google search will indicate will allow you to read the information from people who have taken the time to study the issue. -

John Bacon replied to Big Cliff's topic in General Discussion
To be more precise, I stated that studies have shown that CEOs tend to have psycopathic traits. I am not posting my opinions or my personal experience; I am pointing out the results found my by the people who have studied the issue. I have posted a few links and some quotes from them below If you typed CEO & psychopath into Google you could come up with many more.

CEO's? Or, the studies? If it's the former; no, but I don't know a lot of CEO's so that doesn't really mean too much. I am also not qualified to make such a diagnosis. If it is the latter, then a simple Google search should provide some results. I am just the messager here. -

John Bacon replied to Big Cliff's topic in General Discussion
Actually, studies have shown that CEO's tend to have psychopathic traits. Not all psychopaths are serial killers. It's a lack of empathy for others that makes someone a psychopath. There is a tendency for CEOs to lack empathy for others; it does seem to help them climb the corporate latter. -

My nephew is an electrician and he didn't have any family in the trade. My nephew in law is also and electrician and never had family in the trade. -
Well that was a crappy way to lose the game.
