Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[chipper1]

Back on topic, sort of.
I just talked to a guy on a wood processor. He will be getting back with me in a bit with a link to a video.
It doesn't sound like what I was hoping for, but I will look at it to see if I can incorporate any of the design features into something if I ever build or have the opportunity to help design on.
One odd thing, his phone #ends in 6660, is this a bad omen

Are we going to get started on my bias's lol.
That old Honda is a 5hp and I would rather put my vacation in jeopardy trusting it than most things others have had there hands in, you asked for that one NA.


Ok, so far I have 2 small Hondas and the 5hp for your dad delivery to NA in PA.
If there is any room I can find it(the trick is thinking outside the box, you got running boards right LOL), if they both won't fit on the way out you can grab yours on the way back svk. Don't worry just swing on buy, will leave the fire going for ya and plenty of wood to cut cookies with.

A trolling motor to Ontario, I will personally deliver, and give a guarantee on the motor if I get a guarantee on the fishing, FISH ON.

So here's the invoice
2-2hp Honda Motors $800
1-5hp Honda Motor $450
1-Trolling Motor(not a Honda, sorry) $75
Fishing trip with Wood Nazi to "guarantee lake" Priceless

Done deal!

Nice looking little honda. I need something 2-4 horse with integral tank.

I did pick up a cherry Johnson 9.5 for $100 bucks. Guy had bought it for $450 a couple years before and barely used it. One of the cleanest vintage OB's I have ever seen. One of the few "you suck" deals I have ever been in on.

i've got a nice little 3 hp johnson with an integral tank. only thing is it's 60 years old. 32:1. keeps the skeeters away.

That is a lot of potential fishing snags.

I used to get all my lures and hooks back in the day going diving at popular spots and re treiving all the lost snagged stuff. Also interesting is bed cover, dang, that's where the biggunz hang out, wherever the shadow is, es[ecially if there's a nice log underwater still suspended by branches, right next to a seaweed bed. they just lurk there and wait for a baitfish whatever to come by.

The slickest way to line fish is underwater, drag it right past their nose.....note: do not do with real big fish....

That's also called 'noodling'!

chipper1, you have to drive within 6 miles of my place to get to Wood Nazi's place. Just built a dozen more crates tonight, you can fill them for practice. And if you are any good at fixing 4 wheelers I have some you can play with too.

Pffft. Here's fishing kiwi-stylz:


Outside of Australians and some recent refugee migrants in Europe, we can out-crazy most when it comes to finding new ways to risk our lives doing 'fun stuff'. It's in our DNA, but I'm proud to say I'm one of the few with a genetic abnormality.

My free wood story. The next door neighbor had a huge oak tree taken down a couple years ago. It was close to the house so they took it down in small pieces. When they got down to the trunk, they cut 3' chunks, that ranged from 4' to 5' in diameter. The tree service had a Bob cat that could barely pick up the trunk pieces. Now here is Larry the wood scrounged, hey I'll take a couple trunk pieces, if you put them in my splitting area and deliver some of the nice top sections. Well when it was all done, I had a bunch of top pieces and 12 60" diameter trunk rounds 3' long. They are a little awkward to deal with but the red oak is awesome. I have two pieces left and worked on them tonight

OK, but, I'm still drooling for some of those Mahi Mahi!

When my wife and I were in St Thomas (several years ago) we could not find anyone else to go fishing with us, so we got a Captain to just take us, and I told him we wanted to use spinning rods. We got 39 fish, it was a great day! Mostly Black Fin Tuna, 2 Yellow Fin (one 45 lbs), and 4 Mahi Mahi.

The Captain was thrilled, as I'm sure were some of his friends and the local restaurants. We had never had Black Fin, so we took one back to the resort and the made it for us ... delicious!!!

Sorry, no pics to attach, back then I was still using film!

I will just need your address and the address of "guarantee lake" as I tried to do a google search for it and can't seem to find it, also what part of it did you say was the hot spot
