New SUV - Thanks to Leechman - Reno's

[The Urban Fisherman]

Hey guys,

 

Gotta keep this short as I'd like to bang if off and get to cookin' some breakfast before the whole family wakes up! First off is an overdue thanks to our friend Leechman! He sent me an AWESOME gift for all of us fish-a-thon'ers to enjoy next season!

 

Thanks for the custom made Cribbage Board Jacques! Averie and I are figuring it out!

 

 

Complete with the 2010 participants online handles

 

Second update is that we've been looking for a new SUV for a little while now, and finally found one for a sweet deal that suits our needs! This is our new to us Durango. Fully loaded, 4x4, 5.7 L Hemi the whole deal. Shouldn't have any trouble towing the G3 Jon boat. lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of room for baby #3 and a DVD player to boot!

 

Onto the house and part of the reason I haven't had any fishing reports lately is we've been busy getting our final reno's done. We had an energy audit done on the house and received enough grant money to do new doors, toilet, furnace, fireplace and insulation. Because we did all the work ourselves and bought the equipment wholesale through my father-in-law we managed to do all of this without having to spend a penny out of our own pockets!

 

I miss the old wooden insert, but gas is easy and much more efficient.

 

Took 30 large bags of insulation to bring our house up to R50

 

And lastly - but most importantly, while decorating for Christmas I came to startling discovery. Frosty uses marshmallow's for steelheading. That's right folks.. he's a "flooser".

 

 

Anyways, Happy Holidays! Hopefully I'll have some ice fishing reports soon!

 

Cheers,

Ryan & Family

Thats awesome bud. Great looking SUV for sure. We are in the market looking for one right now but thinking about going with the Suburban or Expedition with all the stuff that comes along with kids etc and we are able to take another couple along. I just did that home Audit, great deal for sure. Got a ton back.

I miss Averie's reports

 

I knew there was something shfty about the way Frosty moved...

 

Looks like a lot s on the run there pal, enjoy the holdays

Smallie - good luck with the truck search dude! We looked at all of the above and liked the Durango the best. Price point was anbig factor for us and we seemed to be able to get a newer Durango with less mileage for the same price! Lots of room for 3 car seats in the middle row and a backup third row for grandparents. Let me know how your search goes!

 

Thanks Dozer! As soon as we get ice Averie and I will be back at it! Hopefully well have enough ice for Christmas!

The house is looking good.

Merry Christmas to you and your family Ryan.

 

I bought the same truck three years ago and have been very happy with it. Pulls great.

 

Renos look great as well.

 

Jacques did a fine job on that crib board.

Jacques - Mon Ami! I can't thank you enough for your kind gesture! I'd never have the patience to drill all those holes man! lol Hug's to Averie for sure... she's been on my case to get out ice fishing but we don't have Ice yet so it's going to be a couple more weeks yet.

 

Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
