John

Hey Peter I hope that you are succeeding onward and upward... I have a question that you may be able to help me with and the PM's seem to be down, please can you shoot me a quick e-mail at [email protected] John...

Are the Rainshadow blanks yours Chris or did Mike supply them?

I am liking JP's thoughts on the roller on the bail arm. I used to have similar problems with mono depending on the reel quality and construction. It used to get wedged down in the side of the roller and one cast would do it....... twang! I think that if you are using 4# equivalent PP then the small diameter just might get down in there on some reels....

Personally I love the stuff, but only in the larger diameters. I have had 80# PP on my musky reels now for 3 seasons and except for the colour it performs the same. I tried lighter 15# on my spinning reels and hated it, but it did not break on me.. I am also thinking that you may have a guide problem. The other thought was do you wear a ring that could be fraying it?

Sounds like the day finished off just fine Cliff...........

Way to go Peter. Took me many tries and I finally got it licked. Stay with it and be proud of yourself!

Happy Birthday Pete, hope that you had a great one!

Happy Birthday, have a wonderful day Norm...

Wonder if Jose is any good at bread Cliff?

This will be my first year out there so I will be learning the ropes................really looking forward to it.

We are looking forward to it again too Steve.........see you in a few weeks..

Thanks Art, maybe we will try to do something in the fall.......some beauties there in the photo section!

You can paint over wallpaper assuming that it is well adhered to the wall, in particular the seams edges and corners. Run a light coat of drywall compound down each seam and smooth it with a damp sponge, don't try to sand it. A good quality primer sealer is required before the finish coats. Bear in mind that any raised pattern on the wallpaper will show through the paint. I would spend the time to do it once properly and remove it, fill any areas that need it and sand smooth. It is worth it in the long term.

I would really like to take you up on that sometime Art, and I'm sure Cliff is already packed! Is there a better time than others down there for those babies? John....

Dang Cliff, you beat me outta bed, AGAIN! Sounds great Jose....... I have PM'd you my e-mail address. J...

You will need valves, regulator and hose. Problem is on most of those private label brands spare parts are slim to none. Suggest you take the valves out and take them to a BBQ parts dealer in your area, (not Cdn Tire), and see what they can come up with but don't have too high expectations. You may need to leave this one on natural gas.

Big Cliff and I have booked a Catfishing charter with Steve (Fishmaster) on the Lower Grand River on Friday April 16th. Looking for 2 additional guys to join us. Cost will be approx $140.00 each plus taxes. We will need $100 per person deposit to confirm. All gear and bait is provided, bring your own food, coffee, drinks etc. We went out with Steve last April and had a great time. Check out his website http://www.fishmastersultimatecharters.com/ for some pics etc.... PM me if interested.

Great news Cliff.......

That's a pretty simple reel, what does it need?

Rich you have a PM

Great stuff Lew. Say hi to Diane for Barbara and me. See you guys over the summer!

Very Happy Birthday Joe....50 is the new 49 don't you know!

Someone needs to use that stick on Pronger and beat some motivation into him and then if there is anything left use it on Babcock! Still say bad selection in both cases...........

3-0 Canada.....

WHEN we win tonight it means we play the Russians TOMORROW.......Relax guys and enjoy the ride!
