Excellent work!

GOOOOO OILERS!!

It's true. Have a great trip man! I'd like to give this a try some day.

A whole bunch of views and no replies... I hate that, so I'll reply even though it's not much. I've only fished ON Koocanusa once.. HUGE @SS lake.. so it can be tricky. We were using spinning rods and trolling with downriggers for salmon and/or large trout. Stayed a few hours with no success. There are some good creeks in the area if you have a Backroads Mapbook.. not super familiar with the area though so make sure to check the regs to make sure they're open. That's about all I can say.. not much help I know.

I think that's one of those balls that you turn on.. and a weight spins around inside causing some serious "gyro" effects.. and it's a crazy exercise just trying to hang on to the thing. I THINK.

Get rid of them and round off all the prices. Get rid of the nickel while we're at it.

Kelly and I worked together for a few years when he was still with Deloitte. You're the second guy I've talked to in the past week that works at Renfrew! Another gentleman came by last week and picked up my old hockey bag to use as a bag for his pontoon. He's recently moved down from Edmonton. I'm pretty sure his name was Steve.

Does Mr. Lube actually let you stand out and watch what they're doing? I've never asked.. I've always had great service at Mr. Lube.. but I've read some not so good stuff. One girl on an internet forum had the same situation as myself at Wal-Mart.. they left the cap off. Except for her.. her engine blew 2 weeks later. Makes me a bit nervous. We're looking at moving again and this time we're making sure we have a parking spot off the street. If we can do that, I'll start doing it myself. Otherwise, I'm thinking about just bringing it to Toyota from now on.

Where do you work?

DonnieM, do you know Kelly Gingras?

Well.. this was supposed to be a multiple choice poll.. guess I haven't figured that out yet!

Just curious what everybody does for their basic oil change and why? We used to go to Wal-Mart all the time just because it was so cheap. For the last number of months/years I've found their service going down hill in a major way. In fact, I'm quite shocked when I go to the Auto department and actually have someone there to help me. Started going to Mr. Lube all the time just for the convenience factor.. can sit in your vehicle and wait with a newspaper and coffee or water included in the price. I also like that they top off all your fluids, wash your windows, and lubricate your door hinges if you want. Been doing some reading on the net and it seems that pretty much everybody has had a bad experience somewhere. Some people hate the dealership and call them the "stealership".. others wouldn't go anywhere other than the dealership. What about you guys? I'd like to do it myself.. but I don't really have a place to do it other than on the street.. and most people don't like that! Plus the whole "what is my time worth?" factor.. Anyways.. the reason I started this thread is because this last time my wife was in a hurry and went to Wal-Mart again... I went out this evening to check some things and noticed they had left the oil cap off and sitting on top of the battery. It's the first time the hood has been opened in a month and as of right now.. i'm pretty choked. I'm hoping no debris fell in the hole!!! Sad part is.. I probably can't do anything about it. They could just say, "how do we know YOU didn't take it off?"

I'll be toque'n it up this winter fo sho.

I'm trying to get tying again and last night I noticed that when I spin my Danvise, the shank is staying straight, but moves up and down slightly during the rotation. So far I haven't been able to find my "setup" CD that came with it, so i'm not sure if it's an adjustment issue, or something else?

LMAO! Oh crap. Gotta hate that.

Yeah I need to get some more materials...

thanks

Fortunately just in the fingers so far! KNOCK ON WOOD!

I'm just trying to tie a Copper John for the first time.. the recipe calls from "Patridge barbs" to form the legs. Can someone post a picture of what partridge barbs look like, or suggest an alternative material? Thanks!

Geez.. I am getting old! I look at the videos and I'm like "that's not my vise". Run downstairs and look at the box.. it's a DANvise. Sheesh! Well.. at least I can laugh at myself!

Searching on the internet.. what a novel idea! Thanks weedy.

Does anyone know where I put the CD that shows me how to use my Nor-vise properly?

Yeeeeeaahhh boooyyy!

What's that sound? It's almost like an annoying mosquito.. or.. no. Must be just me.. it's gone now. Fishpro - you might want to pick up some of the "Blue Goop" from Wholesale..
