  1. That'll also work with a steel bar or a piece of hardwood dowel.
  2. I'm certain that that is the case Rick, I've watched it closely and I've know doubt that a few of the contestants are. One in particular goes up 4 votes a minute, every minute for hours on end. I will keep voting and I'm grateful to all of you here who are helping. Thank you.
  3. I've got the marshmallows.
  4. Awesome Dan, kids and camping go hand in hand, I feel for the young ones who have never experienced it. My kids have missed it over the last couple of years and they're 15, 16 and 18.
  5. I guarantee you that if I left my cover with open access (in my driveway) I'd being facing expensive repair costs after evicting the racoons.
  6. Yep, like others have said great shots. Seems like you're getting the hang of that new camera. I'm gonna agree with what some of the others have said in regards to it being a Cowbird, why else would the Cardinal feed it.
  7. Would it have been okay if he was using Rapalas while wearing a Rapala shirt, just curious. The way it's been going for me these days Diggyj, I'd be happy catching anyone of those fish.
  8. It's not likely I'll ever get there but with a post like this I feel like I've enjoyed the experience right here from my own home. Very interesting and entertaining, like Ryan said, "thanks for taking the time."
  9. I think a 12v continuity tester should do it. One end to the red wire feeding the instrument panel and the other to the ground (black) wire leaving the panel. Make sure the panel power supply switch is on.
  10. My pleasure Jack. It's easy to see that your an accomplished carver when I see work such as this. That's also some good advice for anyone looking to get started in carving. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
  11. Indeed a great pic TJ. Looks like an expensive Summer for you though.
  12. Sending Nanook a PM would be a good start, I believe he is are resident expert on wood carving. Or perhaps wait for him to see this post.
  13. Indispensable.... http://www.idealindu...tage_tester.jsp I have an older home that for the most part is and has been a wiring nightmare. Without something like the above tester, for determining what is hot and what is not I never would have been able to replace any fixtures, switches or outlets. I know that's of no help now but if you liking doing your own renos and such it's something you should aquire.
  14. You da man Dad, a great outing for the three of yous! But where's the shots of you hitting the water....
  15. Charge 5.......
  16. Now you've gone and done it, I'm beyond verklempt.
  17. Indeed, though I suspect Mackenzie is fighting a losing battle. Roy and I have watched closely for a few days now and we suspect that voting fraud is rampant in this contest. Sad when others, many who have written very worthy essays are left falling further and further behind. In the end though honesty and integrity will win the day for those who play by the rules.
  18. palomar ? Yes a Palomar knot should do fine, be certain to moisten the knot before tightening.
  19. Shucks, nobody actually ever called me a "Fishing God", but I'm good with it. It's a stacking release for a second rod, the snap closure goes on the rigger cable, with one clip on the cable to keep it at the desired depth and the clip on the fishing line. Can be set anywhere on the rigger cable. Here's another style I use that can work anywhere on the rigger cable. Scotty stacker release
  20. Offshore Tackle, stacker release.
  21. Something fishy in the harbour Fishing derby, community events happening Saturday Aug 12, 2010 / http://www.thespec.com/ Even if you don't catch a fish, you will probably get hooked on the harbour. This Saturday, the Hamilton Harbour Fishing Derby will give families a great excuse to enjoy the waterfront. In addition to the fishing derby from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., the third annual Happy Dayz in Hamilton Festival will follow. Plus, harbour cruises will be available at a reduced rate of $6. A number of private fishing boats will also take people onto the water for the derby. Prime spots will be stocked with fish and the catch-and-release fishing derby will offer several prizes, including longest fish in each category and most fish caught. Only live fish will be measured. Prizes will be awarded at 1:30 p.m. at 47 Discovery Dr., at the foot of James Street North. All participants under 12 will receive a prize for attending. Check-in stations for the derby will be located at Pier 8 (Williams Coffee Pub and the north side of Discovery Centre); Bayfront Park (boat launch ramp); the fishway (on the Waterfront Trail); and at LaSalle Park (boat ramp). Werner Plessl, executive director of the Hamilton Waterfront Trust, said the fun day offers a great opportunity for youth to learn how to fish "and they can walk away with their own fishing rod." About 1,000 fishing poles will be given away to those who need them. Last year the event attracted between 5,000 and 6,000 people. Plessl said Saturday's events also celebrate the efforts by various government levels to improve the water quality. "The water is clear." For more details on the events, see hamiltonwaterfront.com.
  22. Unfortunately I believe you have but 3 choices, go the warranty route, scrap it or construct an ice fishing rod with the tip.
  23. Lack of MNR officers and enforcement.
  24. $40 for the pair. I'm back to $35.00, going, going........
  25. You are one witty character my friend. Best laugh I've had in days, perhaps weeks! I'll stand on my original price of $25.00
