    Chim Chim, my pal

    Sorry Bill I've known several friends who have had to put their companions to sleep. I know how difficult it is, having seen their emotions. I have often thought how difficult it would be for me, but my time may be coming soon. I've had my miniature poodle since he was five weeks old and...

    A Fishing Pole, or is it a Rod ?

    Don, Those are poles alright. And, they worked great. I like that. I would presume "self defense." Bill

    A Fishing Pole, or is it a Rod ?

    Well, I'm guilty of having called a rod a pole. I fished with an older gentleman for a few years that changed that for me. Every time I said fishin pole, he said rod. Now, it is imprinted behind my forehead "Rod." :lol: But I have to give those who prefer to call a rod a pole an out by...

    For Pet Owners, Not C-Dory's

    Earlier this month, I received the depressing results of a biopsy taken from my Miniature Poodle (Remy). He has prostate cancer. I understand this is rare for a netered male. According to my veterinarian, surgery is not an option. Remy is not in any noticeable pain following his discomfort...

    Downriggers

    Anita Marie, I must apologize for giving you bad information. In my new 2005 Cabalas catalog, there is an electric "850 Penn Downrigger." Earlier when you posted your question about downriggers, I had just been on the telephone with a downrigger repair shop in Portland. They had overhauled...

    Sea Anchors

    I wonder if California or Nevada will be the first to seize old geezers drivers license? I guess we could get one of those three wheel bikes to tow our trailers with. Wow! Those down hill rides are going to eat the tennis shoes right off your feet. :shock: :shock: :shock: Bill

    Sea Anchors

    Don, I've been to alot of those boat shows. If Seattle is like the rest, I don't mine staying home. They just get you cranked up. Fish that boat for a while and get used to it. I figure by the time I'm 70 (4 more years) I'll have to sell the whole works. Then I'll wish I could've bought a...

    Sea Anchors

    Don, I've been glancing through "The Sea Anchor & Drogue Handbook" written by Daniel C Shewmon. I don't believe you'll find this publication on bookstore shelves. It is very informative and in the event you were to call Shewmon, Inc. and for some reason you were unable to speak with Daniel...

    Sea Anchors

    Initially, I was hesitant to buy a sea anchor. Until they ban 2 strokes from Lake Tahoe, I fished the lake all through the winter. There were times when the weather and water conditions got very bad. A sea anchor will stabilize the boat and make conditions more comfortable while saving fuel...

    Sea Anchors

    Just A Thought! In the cold waters of the Northwest, a life jacket is required equipment and a sea anchor is not. Would you rather be in the water with a life jacket on OR warm and dry inside your boat while you wait for assistance? Currently, I'm reading "Storm Tactics Handbook" by Lin and...

    Talk Patty into a Radar Arch

    Patty, This is the truth - research it. If the radome is at head level for some one standing outside the cabin, they can suffer brain damage from transmissions coming from the radome. I don't know any more than that. I know some people are exempt :wink A steel helmet my protect the rest. Bill

    Congratulations!! Very nice boat! You're not going to get fish blood in that boat are you? :wink You're lucky to have a dealer like Les to outfit the boat. It's a lot of work!!! I had to do mine piece meal. Didn't have access to someone like Les in this area. Congratulations Again!! Bill

    10/08 - 10/10 - Lake Shasta Gathering

    Joe, Your right about a time line. I was surprised to see differences that are apparent with the boats side by side. C-Dorys are generally following the same proven design as it has a sea going appeal unlike the more stylish boats. I think our group could be considered more like a cult...
