Good idea Bob but it should go out for a few last runs. No better way to retire the reel than putting a few more Walleye under its belt. Could certainly add to the conversation piece. What a great way to get the first fish in the new boat with the old man's reel.

Cool stuff. I can not help but to think that it may have been a moving experience perusing all of the old man's tools and stuff. A man's shop is a major part of his personality. Must have been an interesting day. The reel looks really neat.

Maybe I do Bill. Lol

Almost impossible to tell the difference between a Sharp Shinned Hawk and a Coopers except the tail. Everyone always tends to want what they see to be a Coopers because of their rarity but it is very hard to tell.

No I am not joking. And Bill. A person would have to be pretty thick not to notice a dropped cylinder. Anyone with any sense of mechanics would know immediately.

Keep looking. I picked up a 2002 Arctic Cat 800 with 2000 kilometers on it for 3 grand. It is bullet proof. Keep looking you will find a nice sled for 3000

Mobile setting for iPhone is fantastic.

I love time lapse. I saw the mountain the other day on wimp.com. Pretty awesome.

Thanks for the report. Nice bag of fish.

Well done. Thanks for the report. As soon as I get the new boat rigged up I will be enjoying the Niagara area myself.

I really enjoyed his commentary on a number of issues. He will certainly be missed around here.

Goalie. That Goalie is incredible.

Good advice. I would spend the money on the jigging and rigging rods. Dragging bottom bouncers and crank baits you do not need the super sensitive expensive rods as the fish will smack those baits. I use a mh bass rod for dragging bottom bouncers. I have longer trolling rods for crank baits. I am not suggesting that you cheap out on a bottom bouncer rod, my graphite bass rod is still sensitive that I can feel what the ground composition is and that comes in handy. The rods I use for jigging or lindy rigging for walleye is where I have invested the most coin. I am partial to the St Croix Avid but there are plenty of great rods out there that would be more than adequate.

Hey FnA, no problem. That would be cool. I think we could combine the two. You bring all the dope dealers cars to the job site and we will smash them with the crane. Lift the full stone box to the top of the boom and freefall them on to the cars. Then you can arrange that every dope dealer gets a picture of their smashed escalade when they are in the can. Now that would be a great day at work.

lol. Sorry guys. What I mean is this. The idea of Karma appeals to people because of the intended sense of justice it provides. If you do good you will be rewarded and if you do bad what goes around comes around. It sounds appealing to say "good Karma" when the guy who helps little old ladies across the street wins the lottery. There is also plenty of appeal when you continue to get treated poorly by an insolent jerk of the idea that one day he will "get his". This is all fine and dandy I suppose but it doesn't ring true nor is it consistent. Many jerks do not ever "get theirs" and millions of great people are not bathed in good fortune. This is where I feel the idea of Karma is severely flawed. You should not have to be urged to do good things with the idea that you will be paid for it with any sort of good fortune and you should not shy away from doing bad deeds merely by the idea that you "get yours". You should do good things just because you think it is good and you should not do bad things because they do not sit right with your personal conscience which is innate to you. However this is where I find the idea of Karma is actually repulsive. Stating that good things happen to people who do good and bad things happen to people who do bad sounds fine enough but as many of us know all too well that many horrible things happen to wonderful people. The rules of Karma would imply that somehow the person is in some way guilty of something to have this happen to them. I think that this is rotten. To waive this off and say "well Karma had nothing to do with this case" is to say well then Karma only works some of the time and that very thought would suggest that the idea of Karma is false as it is to say that if you do good Karma MAY smile upon you or you may get hit by a bus. So what is the point? Anyways I am rambling and that certainly is nothing new. I really need to catch a fish. Cheers

There is no such thing as Karma first of all. The idea of Karma has always been in the positive, meaning that if you do good things you will be rewarded. If does not work in the negative (ideologically), hence the saying "There is no such thing as bad Karma.". That way Revenge can not be justified as bad Karma. Anyhow, the religious undertones of the Karma debate are potent. There is no proof for it and I will spend my time pursuing the knowledge of things that are real, not romantic to our flowering minds. In the infancy of our minds, these superstitions are the only answers we could comprehend as they created a nice rounded off figure for us. There is no good Karma nor bad Karma. Just do what us natural to you and do not expect reward. If your a good person great. If your a crappy person you will not have been able to hide it anyway.

It was only a matter of time before the truth came out. Good sleuthing.

It's a good place to work. Just back after a couple of years roaming.

Yup.

Alot of those Lampson Transi-Lifts's undercarriages have faced the sky in the last decade and a half. Are you an investigator? Here is one dropping a load in Australia. At the end you can hear the block of the white crane bashing off of its own boom to make and eerie bell sound. Warning the guys video taping drop the f-bomb a few times.

No missiles though. Missiles would be cool.

Mobile Crane Operator. I love it. I have various offices. This is my current one.

Vancouver over Boston in 7.

Cabot trail is amazing. Hit Pictou and see the Ship Hector that brought the first Scottish settlers. Cape John and River John are really nice on the Sunrise trail I think it is called. Out the other way is Digby with the highest tides in the world. When the tide is out the boats are waaaaaaaaaay down the docks sitting on the little wood block kickstands. Digby is the home of the worlds lrgest scallop fleet. You can take the drive out along that super skinny peninsula to Brier Island (Westport) and take the Whale Watching tour. Costs about 50 bucks a head and is absolutely awesome (I can not remember what whales are what months), we were lucky enough to see the Humpbacks. Halifax also has great restaurants and a really cool bayside patio scene. Anywhere you go in Nova Scotia is a good choice. You will have a blast. I edited to add this link I found to the whale watching tours. http://www.brierislandwhalewatch.com/index.htm

Awesome. Some real quality fish.
