  2. That's ok I post but can't read Welcome
  3. Crab fishing anyone?
  4. As long as he doesn't turn or stop, he'll be just fine.
  5. I've had bad luck with Samsung. Hve a Nikon Coopix now which runs under $200 and comes with software to make modifications to the pics, you can shoot short videos, battery life is pretty long.There is also a company that manufactures a video camera that clips onto the visor of your hat so you can film the epic battles between you and the fish.
  6. Tequilia and lime works well on both stripers and strippers. Marinate the fillets in tequilla, lime juice, and a little Tobasco in the fridge for an hour or so. saute some garlic and onions in butter. Put the filets on foil. Pour the garlic and onions on the filets. Cut some slices of lime and put them on. Top it off with a little cilantro and bake.
  7. Made from scabs?
  8. I think it was a tie...Raider field goals vs How many times Carson Palmer got sacked.
  9. Would that be Catt Sctatch Fever?
  10. Speaking of cookies. My sister made Bourbon and bacon chocolate chip cookies for Thanksgiving http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/bacon-chocolate-chip-cookies-recipe/index.html Different. Not bad. Just different.
  11. He went to go look for Fish Chris, only Chris came back on his own.
  12. What a crappy ending to a decent game.
  13. GO BEARS!!!
  14. Getting to be that time of year. From the USACE Ice Thickness and Strength for Various Loading Conditions -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every winter it becomes very important to know when the ice is safe to use. Here are some guidelines for determining the safety of freshwater ice. The following table of safe loads is valid ONLY for ice that is clear and sound, with no flowing water underneath. it is not reliable for stationary loads. When in doubt, stay off the ice ! It is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the Safety on Floating Ice Sheets information by CRREL. Loads on Ice Required Minimum Ice Thickness in inches Description of Safe Moving Load 1-3/4" One person on skies 2" One person on foot or skates 3" One snowmobile 3" A group of people walking single file 7" A single passenger automobile 8" A 2-1/2 ton truck 9" A 3-1/2 ton truck 10" A 7 to 8 ton truck Ice Load Graphs Graphs have been developed by researchers which include: CRREL Ice Load Chart Canadian Field Data Graph What you need to know Because there can be many variations in the structure, thickness, temperature and strength of an ice sheet, it is essential to carry out some fairly simple field observations of the ice sheet you want to use to support a load. Be cautious! Never go out on an unknown ice sheet alone, and always probe ahead of yourself with a heavy ice chisel. Consider wearing a personal flotation device and roping yourself to an assistant. The main thing to determine is the ice thickness. This can be done by drilling holes with an ice auger. Note whether the ice is clear (sometimes called black ice) or white (due to air bubbles sometimes called snow ice). Measure the thickness of both kinds. Take note of the frequency of cracks and whether they are wet or dry. On rivers, be alert to variations in ice thickness that may occur as a result of bends, riffles or shallows, junctions with tributaries, etc. For both rivers and lakes, warm inflows from springs may create areas of thinner ice. Also, the ice thickness near shore may be thinner (due to warm groundwater inflow or the insulating effect of drifted snow) or thicker (due to the candle-dipping effect of variable water levels). Observe any snow cover as well as variations in its thickness. Obtain the record of air temperature for the past several days, and continue observing air temperatures during the period the ice will be used to support loads. Contrary to what many think, a rapid and large air temperature drop causes an ice sheet to become brittle, and the ice may not be safe to use for 24 hours. If the air temperature stays above freezing for 24 hours or more, the ice begins to lose strength, and the table no longer represents safe conditions. This becomes the general condition in the spring. Even though the ice may have adequate thickness, the strength is quickly lost the longer the air temperature is above freezing. In all cases of air temperature changes, the effects are greatest on bare ice, and are subdued by increasing depths of snow cover. However, no quantitative guidance can be offered. Other considerations An ice sheet must be supported by water. Sometimes, near a riverbank, the water level will drop after the initial ice sheet is formed, leaving the ice sheet unsupported near the shore. This occurrence can be detected by hearing a hollow sound when probing with an ice chisel. Naturally this is not a safe location for loads on the ice. Cracks in the ice are either wet or dry. If dry, they do not penetrate the ice sheet and are not a problem. If they are wet, multiply the vehicle class by 2 to obtain the required minimum ice thickness. Also, drive across the cracks as close to perpendicular as possible, instead of parallel to them. On thicker ice with very heavy loads, radial cracks may be observed originating from the center of the load. This usually occurs at about one-half of the failure load. After the radial cracks develop, circumferential cracks will form and the ice sheet will fail. If radial cracks are seen, the load should be moved immediately. Because ice will creep, it is only a matter of time before the ice fails. The same process happens with thinner ice at breakthrough loading, but the process occurs so much faster that it cannot be relied upon for any warning.
  15. Nice couple of bass. What are you catching them on?
  16. I thought that's just a regular day in Loozy
  17. Stafford, the Lions QB was fined $7500 for the facemask, DJ Moore the Bear was fined $15,000 and ejected from the game.
  18. It's not the players who should be fined. Suspend the players. donkeykong should be suspended for the rest of the season for his antics all year. Fine the coaches. Starting with the Lions. What a bunch of DB's The blatant disrespect they have for the sport is what gets to me. I guess that's what you resort to when you're the best worst team in the league. I agree football is putting too many restrictions on where and how you can hit a guy. Can't even level a QB anymore . There's always UFC.
  19. I didn't know there was such an animal. When I searched it very little came up. I was with a buddy at Dicks today looking for one and the guy behind the gun counter had never heard of a semi auto slug gun either. I figured I'd ask here. Would you recommend that Browning? I told him I'd sell him my Mossberg pump but he wants a semi auto to deer hunt with.
  20. I guess I should have looked on their websites rather than cheaper than dirt.
  21. ...a semi auto with a slug barrel? I saw a Benelli and a Browning online but they are not available.
  22. Too much work involved.
  23. Subject: Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica - where do they go? Wonder no more ! ! ! It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life. If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried. The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing: "Freeze a jolly good fellow" "Freeze a jolly good fellow." Then they kick him in the ice hole.
  24. You people are selfish and evil promoting addiction. I felt left out after reading the thread and succumed to temptation. Revo SX for my son, comes with a free ABU Vengence rod. Ordered 7'MH For me All American Trash Fish Whopper Poppers Keitech Swing Impact paddletails And In all the rush I forgot jig trailers.
