    Less than 20 minutes for a lightweight type 5 construction building.
    Type 1 is different . That being said the fire load was extreme from the fuel on board.
    It would have taken handcuffs and chains to get those firefighters to leave before the towers came down.
    Have you walked the walk or are you arm chair quarterbacking?[emoji602][emoji602]

    Cable steering auto pilot???

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    Have cable steer on my 21’ Mako.
    Got a smokin deal on a Lowrance autopilot a couple of years ago.
    $499 Canadian from Cabelas in Ottawa. Brand new .
    Bought a HDS-7 Gen 3 to run it.
    $900 Canadian from Radioworld in Toronto.
    Package works awesome.
    Good luck finding the Autopilot fo $500 Canadian though.

    Where to get new hub

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    I have a custom aluminum trailer from Ace Trailers in Gibsonton Florida. My spare is mounted on a bracket with a spindle on it. There is a spare hub there with the spare mounted to it. Great idea.
    Just sharing.

    I work as a career firefighter. We have 6 boats. 4 career and 2 part time.
    Couple of years ago same crew dumped the same boat of the trailer twice.
    Supposed to be professional.[emoji31]

    Cuomos new ruling

    To late to do anything about the water level now. Figures I saw last year says it takes 6 weeks to drop the lake level 4”.
    On the bright side , the Ottawa River does not look like it is going to be near as bad as last year so all things being equal, the Seaway should not have any reason to shut the gates at Massena to keep from flooding TabernackTown.

    So guys.

    I have 28 years in as a firefighter.

    Spend my time flipping from in charge of a 104’ tower and a single axle pump. 4 guys on the pump, 3 on the tower.

    This is what we are told.

    When we do any calls we are wearing our scba. Masked up.

    If you are wearing a mask, that’s great.

    The only mask that will protect you is an N-95.

    If you are wearing a surgical mask ,you are wearing it to protect other people from yourself.

    A surgical mask will not protect you from Covid 19.

    You can google the facts. We are not a large department as departments go but have 900 career firefighters and 400 part time on call.

    This is how we are running our calls.

    Nothing to do with fishing but this is what I practice.

     

    With all due respect.

    Nautitroller ,I respect the fact that you are standing up for something you believe in.

    Most civilized countries are that way because someone took a stand and drew a line in the sand and said this is where it stops.

    If there were only one or two people running around , there would be no problem.

    Unfortunately there are still masses that don't get it.

    It only took one or two people to put NYC where they are today.

    It will take the same to contaminate Upstate New York.

    I have $1000s of $$ in tackle boats kayaks and a camper as well.

    At this point I am willing to sacrifice and stay at home for now.

    If you find a launch that is open , I hope you do well.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion , but at the same time, eveyone can take their opinion to the coffee shop along with around $2 and they will give you a large coffee. Also opinions are like a$$holes. Everyone has one.:smile:

    The last I heard was that Covid 19 is 3 times more contagious than the flu.

    Keep your hands clean and don't touch your face.

    Words to live by these days.

    I feel sorry for hard working small businessmen like yourself.

    You look like you have an awesome setup there.

    We usually fish outside Henderson Harbor staying at Wescott Beach state park.

    If things get to the new normal later this year I would be looking to make a trip down your way.

    My wife finds the run out to the fishing grounds there long and doesn’t like being that far out.

    Plus we could make the run to Waterloo for her to shop[emoji17].

    I am working a 24 hr shift in my firewall tomorrow and am hoping to check out your place a little closer.

    We have a slide in camper and 21’ Mako CC.

    Hopefully folks like yourself will get some of the benefit from President Trumps $2 trillion fund.

    It would be nice if he spent more time working on helping people like yourself instead of making deals with the head a Prince Sand Monkey of Saudi Arabia bailing out Carnival Cruises.

    Was that really that important to have done that right now?

    I guess he has priorities as well [emoji17].

    I wish you good luck but realize that the next number of weeks are going to be extremely tough on the majority of the

    All the best.

    Wow. It’s all about you guys.
    Can’t give up fishing for a couple weeks or a month??
    New York State is the Covid capital of the world .
    Between 700 and 800 people a day or dying in New York City.
    It’s all about you guys.
    Let’s say your buddy Dave lives in NYC and he decides that a couple of buddies and he want to go fishing .
    Boat launches are still open so off they go.
    Did I say it’s all about you guys?
    Dave was exposed to Covid 5 days ago.
    So in the truck his buddies are now exposed. They stop for fuel. Some kid working the cash gets exposed.
    An hour later they stop for a meal.
    More people exposed.
    They get to the launch and fish all day. They come in when you come in.
    You pull a 15 lb brown out of your boat and everyone runs over to congratulate you.
    Well congratulations, you forget about the 6’rule now you are exposed and going to take it home to your loved ones.
    This probably won’t happen but something like this happened because that is how we all got into the ****SHOW we are in now!
    It’s all about you guys.

    What a nightmare

    Thank you!

    Hunker down boys. Going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

    Hopefully someone steps up and decides we need to make a lot more stuff onshore than contract it out to the $2 an hour off shore countries.

    Not trying to be a bigot but at some point we have to take care of ourselves before the big guy makes $$ on someone else’s back.
