Dings hurt a small bit financially but hurt a lot emotionally. If you get a custom stock or just a high end gun you feel very bad when the piano finish gets hit with a piece of flying clay target . My custom stocked Browning has many whacks from broken clay , doesn’t really change the value by...

Dive computers have rendered all that tech to the shelf . I only wear an actual dive watch diving for nostalgia. Last trip to Bahama, the diver master handed out preprogrammed sets and collected them at days end , you were emailed a printout each evening and a weeks final print logging...

I may have one like that in a box around here someplace. If it’s not as disintegrated as yours you can have it . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

That’s not awful , cheaper than a Krieghoff or Kemma. DTII is a very well made gun , you can break targets with a Stevens you bought for a hundred bucks , you just can’t break two hundred thousand of them . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

The cottagers that bought hoping AirB/B would be the mortgage saviour are getting cooked as cottage associations are passing bylaws having had enough . Even municipalities are pushing hard as the local cop doesn’t want to drive...

@mimico , id go find a free standing A/C unit off Facebook marketplace for a hundred bucks or so and use that for starters , its 120v and could be enough in seven hundred ft . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

His bank manager was wrong . He would be liable for the money and have to repay , if he was really a wank about it he would incur penalties and court costs . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

In its day it probably was nice , now it’s a floating liability. The “encapsulated keel” is marketing term for a full keel that was built into the mold then filled with concrete or lead scraps and capped inside , it’s not better . Five was probably the initial commitment to get a production run...

That’s funny , and sad , and stupid . And they will have to bring engineers out before the bridge goes back into service ? That should be cheap. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

We are getting a lot of Bukh engines here now as repower projects since they are quite reasonable compared to Yanmar or John Deere marine , way more reliable and affordable than anything Volvo and Perkins / westerbeke seem to be vintage pieces . Bonus is they seem to also be designed for anyone...

The drones are a fantastic idea , the coast guard are using them on Lake Ontario for search and rescue . Our local police ( Halton) just got a couple and are training four “pilots” to use for looking for things like bush parties . The officers can see what they are walking into . Operating...

It does not include US boats , cdn reg pass freely but if three boats are in the Murray canal and the bridge swings , well , drive on . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

Initial mileage tests are thirty four gal per hour at WOT . She’ll go to the Rideau on the trailer behind the diesel Suburban . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

I’ve heard the Rideau is the most scenic and has a lot of history to see . That appeals to me . Pottering along at six miles an hour will make it feel like my sailboat …. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

Lewmar makes a low profile vertical instead of horizontal ( side ways not over top ) winch. Gypsy is a combo chain / three strand . We will pop in a hole for a Howser line and build a fiberglass box inside the pointy bow which is waste space anyway . As long as calibrated metric chain is used...

That was our exact thoughts , we will run the original Merc till it’s done , if we still own it a Yanmar will go in . Eighty five hp turbo deisel will run forever going forward . Boat was just under thirty k so lots of room to improve things . Anchor windlass is first on the list , lewmar makes...

Meanwhile I may have bought half a Limestone [emoji638][emoji640] ( the built by Hinterholler version) to do the Trent/severn and Rideau . I’m a very slow learner . At least the guy I’m partnering with is flush with cash and treats things better than most . Sent from my iPhone using...

Auto pilot fixed , new remote mic ordered, new handheld VHF under consideration. Bbq cleaned and working . Now to sort out the asymmetrical spinnaker which needs more projection out front and why the spin pole car seems to be jamming . I’d guess another grand and it’s all back in business ...

So in my two week trip to the thousands islands , autopilot crapped out on day three , VHF remote mic stopped working, primary was fine , VHF handheld quit . Suzuki dingy motor got oil in the carb ( you have to turn it sideways when you tilt it) and didn’t start for a day . Bbq that has not been...

That just sucks , I’m sorry for your loss . I’m at the point where I don’t trust anyone I just met , and I have been working with sketchy people most of my life . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com
