Speaking of dewalt, I went and bought a 18v kit from costco with a drill and a few different other tools, and I sure like it. Its not the expensive xrp stuff, but I dont really need that for my light duty work.

I have a samsung cell, it was a cheaper one, but it works better then when I used to get the expensive ones.

Sasktel used to have one that they said you could throw against a wall and it wouldnt break, wonder if they still have that one. They really dont build a cell tough enough for what I need, a 16,000 lb backhoe makes short work of them when running them over!!

Another green dot means you`ve had a bunch of good rep points Jack, congrats!
My latest Samsung cell has way too short battery life, recharge every second day with minimal use and poor reception/lost calls in areas where my old Samsung had no problems.
Dewalt is my favorite brand, they`re good tools, sponsor Matt Kenseth`s Nascar Ford!

I had a choice, start a makita or dewalt collection, and I actually started out with a makita half in hammer drill, then decided the rest was gonna be dewalt.

Nothing against makita though, they make kick *** tools to.

Milwakaee makes some good stuff, but I just dont need that kind of high quality tool, I dont use them all the time so...

Got my heavy trailer license, had the road test on Wednesday and got the medical done on Friday. So now I can pull the boat behind the camper.

Getting a fish finder/depth finder installed in the boat this week for my birthday,I don't want to have any more run in's with sandbars.

Good Morning all of you frozen butts above the border. I see it is now boating season, thawed out yet? LOL

If everything goes as planned, me and Tammie may visit that great country of yours in the near future. Don't know how far or where yet. It has been almost 30 years since I have been in Canada.

The written test was about a 1/2 hour, Morris. 70 questions I think.

No damage Sherm, did the same thing as you did, put the prop in the sand. Was scared there for a bit, boat started shaking and I quickly shut it down. When I went to the back it was all black in the water, thought I broke the leg and it was oil but I soon saw it was just sand stirred up.
