  1. I understand what your going through Rolmops, trust me when I say I know. Your mind is a powerful thing. It can be your worst Enemy as it can be your best friend and your most powerful Freind. It's the hardest thing to start, but get up, and even if you just drive around and look at the scenery, or I have friends that all go to my buddy's place that has a big area in his shop for a bs. Session. In the morning, and before you know it, it's lunch time by then you have little nick-nack things to do at home to do. See for me my whole family leaves at 7:45am and doesn't get home till 4:00pm, I also keep busy with electrical problems to solve. Like a guy brought a signal stat 900. To rewire it has 11 wires coming out. But with the new double filament bulbs we don't need all the wires, anyway now I'm working on that. But even just a ride to nowhere is good fuel for the brain. If need be give me a call as I have been at the bottom of the barrel after my back surgery and they told me I'll never work again. Pm me your #. Pap ps. I bought a middle of the road air brush, now I need paints, so I been research on paints so, we go from there.
  2. Where's it going to be taken place at?
  3. Well at first I thought the name of the knot was appropriate F'N,G Knot . F'en no Good .
  4. Oh no, I honestly thought for a while he was absent from the board. I never gave it a thought he might be sick. Send him our condolences, From the PAP Family.
  5. I noticed that while tying a uni-knot when using 30# power pro to 20# Berkeley big game the power pro was hard to get the wraps to lay nice 1 in front of the other, and then when you went to pull the not tight the braid would not follow suit. I had to pull the braid back apart to make a nice inline tubular knot. If the braid didn't go right when you tested the knot the braid cut the mono off. Some went good other didn't, to the point I didn't trust the knot. There's where I put a Spro swivel in its place I haven't figured it out yet!! I watched every video and the animated knot site. Mono to mono is great but one size to the other, I don't know, I gave up.
  6. Yea, you guys are, can't take that away from you locals!! Congrats on your outings. Maybe next week the ice will stiffen up again. I hope
  7. OOH YA, BS, it's all about whosever going to grease the back pocket. I had relation that owned a great piece of property on RT 209 they wanted to put a convenient store and gas station there. There's no gas station within 7 miles of my house, yet they were shut down, year after year. After many year of the word NO NO NO, they sold the property. 2 years later they're breaking ground, HMM wonder what's happening here now? Wouldn't you know a brown sandland no English speaking family is putting in a ----////----yup gas station, low interest government loan, no tax paying on capital gain for 7 years. Now the whole family lives upstairs of the convenient mart, with son in law taking it over next year. It will be going on 7 years now. The two older ones just got back from their homeland after several weeks. They took the U.S. Money overseas, and now they're living in comfort!! America what a great country!! If your from another??? He's has the highest priced gas in the area, yet the dumbass people support him by getting fuel there, and the highest prices on chew, and candy for the kids. I'll drive the 7 miles to turkey hill, cheapest on fuel plus a .03 off a gallon with your points card.
  8. Yes I agree with not being protected. If your set up is like mine, I ran all my wires along the transom and to get there is BE Och, so I used breakers no need to carry a hand full of fuzes, although most folks have glovebox full of everything but 30 amp as they are not popular in the automotive industry. My alternater is also say unique. I put a longer power stud in and ran a wire up to a 3rd battery. I put a clip on clamp like what a battery charger has. I have lights forward and onto the back deck for night eyes or early morning lights. After owning my own starter and alternater shop since 1982 all this is at my finger tips. I built my own alternater, and just shy of a welder it works, and I used a very low rpm excited regulater that is adjustable. So at low rpm she's charging like as if the motor is a 2000 rpm.
  9. That's why you should run 2 batteries and use breakers not fuzes, your kicker ain't doing shyt as far as keeping your batteries up. At 5000rpm the kicker might be pushing 6-9amps, get a 1-2-all switch and wire it that way. So if you don't have enough juice to start on 1 battery move the switch to both and fire her up leave it there till your volt meter hits 14 volts, now there both charged.
  10. That's very true, never thought about it that way. Yea Hillary left wilth her emails never uncovered, so yea!! anyone else would be locked up for espionage.
  11. Yes I 100% agree, I have been out to Galloo in 16ft, lake was like glass.
  12. I voted for the guy also, I just couldn't find the channel that some of the guys were watching, like the voting poles were rigged? I saw a lot about we need to move forward and it's not going to be no where near the 3 million to say he won both poles. The wall? It's going to be 3 billion out of our pockets until he figures out how Mexico is going to pay "us" back. It's a complicated way he says? Yes the Dow closed at all time high, but that's not because of the sweep of his pen, it was all international stocks? He still didn't file his tax return? I'm not against the guy, but the hype isn't there yet. The rocket has fired up but the thrusters haven't come on yet. Ok unleash the dogs, I only have one shell left.
  13. Some people would so, well 10 miles isn't far? Yea it isn't but buy the way the crows fly 10 miles is a long F'N way. I've been one one of those chases, we went through 3 different counties, my bad 3 different hunting zones. The bad part was we started in a rifle zone our turf is 3D, on the Call mountain and ended up on the summer side of the Blue Mountain, which is shotgun only zone, in between there is the chestnut Ridge, which is another MT, to climb over, while the yote picked others up and dropped others off this guy knew where the hell is was going. The dogs never switched off the dog we started out with. This dog had a print of a black lab. the rest were of normal size. If it wouldn't have been one of the biggest prints, with other ideas of what it might have been. "There were rumors of a 1/2yote1/2wolf" running around, we would have called the dogs off once we went into the 2nd zone. It was a long day I was never so tired, and the dogs still wanted to go. Now the sun's going down!! I'll never forget that day!!
  14. LOL! Don't tell that to the younger generation or they'll be bringing a canoe.
  15. I'd say since your luck enough to live by the lake maybe a 16fter will work. Pick and choose your day. I had 18ft deep V boat called TROLLER, boat was built in Erie Ohio, take 2-3fters ok but after that she would take water over the bow, which wasn't a bad thing as this boat the water runs out the scuppers. Now I have a family I need to go when I get the chance. I made many trips to NY to watch the white caps on the Black River, let alone the lake. After a year of windy no goes, I went to a 22ft cuddy!! Now I go with 4fters, but 5fterd just aren't comfortable you get beat to death. I know others that don't think twice about 5-6fters!! I've had numerous back surgeries with plates inside me and plate on the backside of me and 2 pins holding the whole works together, along with 4 artificial vertebrae. So yea I sill go when it's big waves, but just take it easy till I work my way to the shore line that I'm going to troll. Going with the waves is much nicer then pounding against themLOL.
  16. Whaler what did your son poke him with? The story was like out of outdoor life!! Better hang on to those guys, you don't run into to many from the "old" school anymore. I commend you guys for your actions. Both of the Whaler Men, and the Frearson guys & dogs. First whalers initiative to pursue with the idea of a kill "should" be found no matter what. I got to do this... . Kens crew could have, and had all the rights to the kill, under his belt. Only one hunter to another would understand the accomplishment felt when you take one of these dogs. All the stars must line up perfectly to kill one of the most intelligent critters in the woods!! Excellent Job to both parties involved!!!
  17. Hell the Okuma magda reel is cheaper than Cabela's own make and same goes for Bass Pro's own brand of LC reels.

    Unsafe ice!!!

    This might be what you were referring to.
  19. I hear ya Gator!! And if the new government is as F'ed up as the weather we are in serious trouble Let all pray Trump is the same man voted in that he promised. I just wish the Bullshyt that his cabinet is piping to the media would stop. Not the start off on the right foot most Americans voted for.

    Boat Trailers

    Then why when we look in the parking lots I see way more roller trailers than bunks? Are they cheaper to build ? I know I helped replacing the bunks is a hell of a lot cheaper than replacing the rollers and washers and clips. I did this on my roller trailer. I replaced the black dry rotted rollers with a clear non marking roller which wasn't a special order. At the time I had a white 18' center console with black marks all over till I replaced the rollers.
  21. LoL, I know there both nice and fuzzy soft, he said he doesn't eat rats so now what
  22. I ran the suffix last year and had one hell of a time getting the sheathing off the lead it was like stuck, and yes it was broken all over, when you finally got the lead core loose in was in inch pieces, not happy after fooling around about an hour to get 6" of lead because it was in inch pieces, I didn't have enough line to make a uniknot, I ended up using the Spro swivel trick. I bought two 10 color spools and the both were a bear to work with, no more suffocate for me no I didn't misspell the word. Pure shyt in my mind the suffix is!!
  23. Yup even says Depth Raider right on it?

    Boat Trailers

    Well I'm in the process of trying to come up with a back rollers and the rest bunks. I have had boats for many years and all were roller trailers, I went with my uncle who's inlaw owns a 22ft cuddy and it's a newer trailer boat package, trailer is a bunk trailer. He backed down to the water unhooked the boat completely from the trailer, threw me the rope while I walked to the dock. He then backed into the water till boat was free. Pulled boat over to the dock, easy. Loading was spot on as the bunks put the boat on the trailer perfectly. Pulled ahead till I could reach the chain hook as I was nervous that the boat was going to slide back, not the case!! OH and the wind was coming the absolute wrong way, yet loaded perfectly. A roller trailer you need to back to the water and into the water that you can reach the both hooks. I unhook the safety chain then let cable out a little then back into the water enough to get wet up to my ankles mabe more, unhook the cable run over to the dock and pull boat over to dock. Now loading I tilt my rear rollers so the foremost roller is as high as it gets drive boat onto trailer so the bow is in the back set of rollers, OH raise trim up till just under the water which also makes for lift on the nose, square up with the front bumper slowly add power until you have the boat up to or close enough to hook winch cable, continue power till your partner gives you the sign. If you have a boat that's 20ft with a open bow that you can reach the hook yourself that's what I had before and a roller trailer is the way to fly. If you have a 22ft cutty like what I have now, this boat is a Be'och to load period, I think I would like a bunk trailer like my uncles inlaws. I saw many pluses in a bunk vs. a roller trailer. Me being disabled can't do it myself, but even the way I am I could load and unload a19ft open bow boat using a bunk or a roller trailer, but I'd prefer a bunk over a roller either way!! After seeing Dave load and unload his boat off of a bunk trailer. I'm sure there will be guys that will say rollers all the way, and vise-versa!! They sell both types yet so whatever floats yer boatLOL
