Good story Eric. A tiny bit of mischief with an appropriate response, rather than suspension or a trip to jail.

Eric, Like Tod, I rarely look through the side windows. I also don't like that they make my stuff visible to bad guys, so i wouldnt miss them. My pickups have extended mirrors with parabolics, for me they're adequate for backing. If you can get past the backing issue, I bet you'll like these new...

I've never seen one up close, but the side doors and cool accessories in the catalog make me want to check them out. Kind of a small selection of truck models, I wonder why?

Thank you Dave. The photo isn't clear on my screen, but it appears your bird has a distinct white trailing edge. Very interesting, I didn't expect that a bird with that speculum would be 100% black duck.

I agree with Rod. Looks good as new. Best of luck with her. Sure wish Lund still made them, one for the fleet would be nice.

I wonder if there are quality photos of black duck speculum correlated to genetics? I'd specifically like to see the genetics on wings with a faint white border on the trailing edge of the speculum. The trailing white makes me suspect hybrid, as it seemed to become more prevalent in recent...

He's a dandy.

LOL when I was a kid we had an old scow we dubbed Davy Jones Locker. On especially nasty days we joked that the real DJL would surface nearby, and just suck us in. Who could prove that's not the way it really happens? :) The old timers were not amused. Pond box and coffin come to mind...

We had one of those silly things at camp in the 70's. We called it the Bat Boat for obvious reasons. I had no idea who made it until many years later as the Herters name had been removed before my family bought it. It was a plain white model, but fun to ride around in as a teenager.

In the context of Japanese regulations, or are they really free of parasites? We eat farmed salmon once in a blue moon, I swear I've seen worms.

You're right, I'm getting ahead of myself. The salmon in the East Outlet at Indian Pond are in trouble next week. I need to get on Lobster, haven't been there in some years. The bigger boat might be called on for those lakes. So many spots needing attention. I'd like to hear how you like your...

Me too. I think you once mentioned that you hunted a first day or two at one of the spots I have in mind for the boat. Maybe we can race our new overpowered boats? Like those southern guys in mud boats through timber, but at Maine speed in a bog. ;)

Epoxy is the most common winding finish today. Far more durable than the old varnish, which is what I learned to build rods with as a kid.

Hope the boat works out for you. I looked at new Sport Boats, they're a bit pricey for their size. I picked up a brand new 12' john and a Suzuki 4 for over a thousand less than the Sport Boat alone. I think the 4 & your 6 are the same powerhead. Gave that shiny black motor a good dose of spray...

Yes, what Pete said. Easy Peasy. No fancy equipment required for simple guide replacement. You can use a tall chair, or one with arms rests, to hold the rod so you can spin it as you wrap. If I had to suggest one trick to minimize frustration, it's filing the guide foot a little to smooth the...

Love those eyes for dinner. One of the best eating fish, fresh or salt water. Huh, never gave our dogs raw fish. I guess they would eat it. No concern about parasites? I'm careful to fully cook fresh water fish for our meals.

That, or take a few empties, remove the spent primer and replace. Cheap compared to the Brownell's set.

I think you're looking for snap caps? Google snap caps, there are many available.

Those cats are fun Dave. I'm far from a catfish expert, but have fished for them quite a few times measured over many years. I've caught what I think are all the US cats, channel (yours I believe?), white (kinda small body with a huge head, we get them through the ice), yellow, flathead and...

Yeah, those house wrens are crazy. I like their warble, but they make a mess. We have 5 gallon water bottles delivered because the well water isn't the best tasting even after the water softener. We store them in the garage, both full and empty between deliveries. If we leave the garage door...
