  1. We had a carrier that had a top on it to protect from the sun and netting in front. Perfect for protection from flying nymphs and dries. I used to go for hours with her on my back, was great. Sometimes I would take her off my back while she was sleeping and place her near me on the shore. That stopped after I turned one time and it had fallen over and she was staring at the sky. I felt bad but she wasn't crying and then I had a good laugh. I generally went for about an hour or two at a time before taking her off or taking her out. She loved the ride, still now at 7 she asks to go in it. No way now, stopped a few years back.

  2. And sometimes a new door opens. When I was 16 i tried out for the midget aaa team in Regina. I made it to the last exhibition game and after it I was cut. I felt devastated, that was not supposed to happen. 3 days later I got a call from the midget aaa team in moose jaw who said they have a spot for me. 1 week later I moved there and started playing. 2 months later I got listed by the Warriors WHL team and played 20 games with them when they needed it. I then played 3 more years with them plus 4 for the university of Regina. I had a great career, have my engineering degree and have a great life. All put on a course from a point that at 16 seemed like the end of the world. It made me who I am today. One door closes and a new one opens!

  3. I struggled with this decision. I tested out one of those portable solar kits from Costco last year. Can't remember the size, probably around 50w or so. Did not work well. Tested it in the backyard too and found in full sun I was only getting around 3 amps at most. You don't get that at Dutch that's for sure. I tried to chase the sun a bit but barely put on a charge. If I was going to go solar I would get one or two 100w panels installed on the roof and connected up to the system. As far as I found, product and installation was $1000+ at least for that.

     

    Instead, I got a 2kw Yamaha gen at the RV show for the cost of a 1kw Honda. Hell of a deal. Al, I will make sure not to park by you at Dutch. Could be talked into giving you a charge if you need it :).

  4. Have you installed any bright lights in the area around the equipment? I had a situation once where I found that in a certain time of the evening I would be unable to control my stereo or PVR. After getting pissed off I realized at that time of the evening we had direct sunlight coming through shining on the area of the TV stand that was housing the equipment. I then closed the blinds and bingo things worked again. Who knew?
