Good morning everyone!
Sounds like a good Friday night and Saturday job Pat. Wish I was there to help.
Jimmy, GET THE BOAT IN THE WATER! The salmon won't be there forever. I guess the Herring are in too eh? Damn, fire up the smoker and grab some beers!

I don't know about the herring, but the walleye and whitefish are hitting pretty good on the north side of the Island. We haven't heard much about the salmon in the deep water, but it should be any day. There are trollers out there, but nothing worth reporting is coming to the docks just yet. Some guys are pretty quiet about it, but word gets around pretty quick.

Good morning everyone! I got the day off to enjoy at the cottage this weekend. Going to go pick up a mobile broadband card for the laptop today. Sick of this blackberry access only.
Yesterday I did some suppression system inspections at a factory that makes the glass tops for corvettes and also the rear spoilers for the new focus and explorer. Pretty neat seeing the paint they use before application. Got to see yellow blaze, tuxedo black and even sonic blue painted spoilers!

Thanks Jasmine! Since I left the car business over two years ago, this is only the second day off I have taken. Just couldn't afford to.

added reminder

Go Jimmy Go! My son did real good last weekend in the Soo for salmon, herring after dark and the whitefish. But, Walleye I LOVE. C'mon post on Sunday some big hoss walleye pics! We get them earlier in the bay here. Some 9 pounders even. I'd be out grilling those dudes right now.
Go get a couple growlers Torr and enjoy the day!!! No driving for you today.

Damn it, and I was in a good mood too! I have to wash out the garbage can. It had a bunch of uh...fish offal in it for a week! Thanks for the reminder Jim.

Happy Friday!

Let me know what you might find Pat. I can put the word out. What engine is in that Jeep?

First thing I would do before you tear the motor down to far is pull the converter and see if it's plugged.

I agree Chris, this is an easy, just trying to get the motivation to get into it. Once I start, I am pretty sure the brakes are going to be put on, so, then I will have a car in my driveway, a motor in my garage, and a Pissy wife because it is sitting there in that condition until someone gets and idea of what they want to do with it.

Hahaha, motivation and the other half! What a combination. Whoops, I hope herself isn't surfing during lunch!

Oh Christ, I just checked and she could log on as me even if I'm already on. She'll figure out the pword.

Well if Pat is going I'm in too! I bet he'd be a ball at the Tiki Bar and I don't want to miss it. I wish SOMEONE would post one of the pics from the GTG!

Cool man, see you all there! I'll be sure to have a few more hot chicks in grass skirts so nobody goes... un-served! I know. Sexist. I'll be in the corner drinking about what I've done.
