Thanks for the heads up! HH

Remove the wiper blades, place gently in a safe place... dispose of the car, you now have a perfectly good set of blades for when she buys her next bic. HH ***sorry, I simply can't help myself!!!***

My post was a poor attemp at humour... mostly! HH

Sunfire's are the "bic" lighters of vehicles... they are disposable... so dispose of it! HH

My philosophy regarding fat and cooking it very simple... if fat was bad for you, the good Lord would not have put it in virtually everything... And to those of you who eat margarine... you're killing yourselves! HH

Happy b-day bud! If you're in town next week, let me know and I'll buy yah a birthday lunch... I know a place... LMAO! HH

Thanks to all who replied... plans are almost set... I guess a report will be due on Monay! Phil, PM on the way! HH

It's to bad that there isn't a pic of his tow vehicle... with the 18in cutting blade! HH

Plastic bags will work fine when it's not too cold, but they will keep all sweat and moisture inside the liner... so after a day on the ice, but sure to remove the liner and let it dry over night. HH

Terry, I have heard that the ice around Keswick is pretty good as I know someone who watched a few guys on snow mobiles driving out fro their on Saturday... Terry, if you want to hook up... let me know. HH

Thanks for the info jim. HH

With this week's weather seeming to stay somewhat cooler, I'm hoping to get out again this Sunday. Has anyone been out lately, can give me an idea about conditions...Should I be thinking Cook's or is the main body still available? Thanks, HH

well again, it's obvious that you and I make purchasing decisions very differently... I look at EVERYTHING! As far as I am concerned, that's my job in this consumer/retailer relationship... especially in a situation like the O.P. where he knew going in, what the terms of the sale were. I guess when you have been around the block as many times as me, you get sceptical about parting with you hard earned cash... I stop "looking things over" as soon as I lay my money down... until then, I will tear the thing a part! BTW - $200.00 for a reel is obsurd to me, that in no way diminishes my stand here. HH

Sorry Wayne, not a FB guy...but I hope that those who are, continue to help here. HH

Well then, I guess you and I don't make buying decision the same way... and your analogy is rather insulting on many levels. I look at EVERYTHING before I buy, be it a head of lettuce or a car... and yes, I do look under the hood. Here's where I come from... I play guitar, I buy many and would not think about buying a guitar without trying it first... yes, that means taking it out of the case (the box if you will), looking it over for any kind of defect and giving it a whirl so to speak. Now I have bought $200.00 guitars and each one of them have received the same attention to detail from me, that my $3000.00 one's do... So, if you assume that everything is ok with a product, any product, right out of the box, well you get what you deserve. I believe it's called... buyer beware! HH

I have to completely agree with you... Quantum's position not with standing, would you buy a car without driving it? Would you buy a TV without looking at it? Firstly, that kind of money for a reel is just crazy, IMHO, but if I was dropping that kind of coin on anything, you would be correct in assuming that I would take that critter out of the box and do a once/twice/three times over, before I dropped my money on the counter... So, again, IMHO, there are a lot of things that went wrong in this transaction and the three parties involved, share blame. HH

Interesting to say the least... however I can't help but think that to some degree, this change will be a recipe for many floaters out in the blue water. I wonder what some of the Charter boat guys are thinking about this? HH

You should always be mindful of cracks. Just sayin! HH

So, being in the same boat as GBW, after reading this thread, I guess I'll empty the tank, run it dry, remove the plg, put some oil in it, re-fill the tank, run it for a bit, then hang it upright for the season... seems pretty simple to me! LMAO HH

Sounds like a good time BB! HH

Oh my! HH

Thanks Wayne, I'm here all week! HH

Speak for yourself bud! I'm poor, cheap and delightfully handsome! But your boss is a dick,so I don't think you can get the time off! HH
