Fishing Rhino

It depends on the type of sale. If Terminex bought the assets of the other company, then they are not liable for the other company's debts and obligation. In the case of Cabelas, BPS bought and continued to operate Cabelas. In reading what you said about the pest control companies, it seems that Terminix did not operate the business under the prior company's name. The devil is in the details.

What lawyer will handle such a penny ante suit? There is a lot of work that goes into a class action suit. A spat over a warrantee for a fishing pole isn't very glamorous. It's not asbestos, or a pharmaceutical, or a Pinto gas tank, which can run into billions of dollars. They might have a suit, " A guy or gal who broke their fishing pole is not going to garner a lot of sympathy. Can you see a lawyer parading hundreds of "victims" before a judge. I can't. "Entity purchase agreements (also known as "stock purchase agreements"). In this arrangement, the buyer purchases the business entity by buying a majority (or more) of its stock. The new owner generally steps into the shoes of the previous owners, assuming all debts and obligations."

It may be able to tow it. But, will it be able to stop it.

Hope this makes your day a little warmer. Seven months until our gardens look like this. The plants are Lucifer, Hydrangea, Cone Flowers, Day Lilies, and a couple of others that I cannot name.

You don't happen to have a Creek Chub Plunker in Olive Green do you?

What I do with the "leash" depends on where I launch. In some places I can beach the boat and step onto the boat from dry land. If that's the case, I can unclip the leash from the bow eye. If there is a dock at the ramp, I can unclip it from the bow eye at the dock. If for some reason or another I leave the boat clipped to the line, I make a small coil of line and put the post for the leaning stand through the coil with no slack for the leash from the post to the bow eye. The coil is small enough that there is no chance for me to get a loop around my foot.

I don't know how they can legally change the warranty. The buyer entered into an agreement with the seller when the purchase was completed. The buyer fulfilled his obligation when he paid for the product. Does anyone think that a car dealer could arbitrarily change the warranty terms after the vehicle is signed, sealed, and delivered? It will be interesting to see how this story unfolds if and when a buyer stands up to them. The problem is that the cost of a lawyer will likely be more the loss of a rod. Now, if the seller were required to pay the lawyer's fee, Cabelas would be singing a different tune.

The tricks of light and shadows. What looks like a shoreline at the end of the cobblestone walk is really just an asphalt driveway. The shadows and light produce the illusion of water. It's something I just noticed as I was going through some photos. What looks like the horizon in the distance is just where the camera's top of the exposure ended. Different time of the year, but from the same perspective.

There is a poem about the "Golden Years". Google "the golden years poem".

Goats' beard. I call it the fireworks bush.

I wish I could put it in this reservoir. Not really. Those fish were caught in the Quabbin Reservoir. If it were open to them, every bass boat in the state would be fishing it. As a senior, I can rent one of these 15 foot aluminum boats with a nine hp Honda for 23 dollars per day. That includes the fuel, life preservers if you don't bring your own. Can fish 'em from sunrise to a half hour before sunset. It also includes parking. It's a two hour drive for me, but I'll fish it once a week. Oh, that special is only good for weekdays, not weekends.

Free shipping. I laugh every time I hear it on the tv or radio. Did anyone else see this years version of BattleBots? One of the bots was called "Free Shipping". It was a miniature fork lift, outfitted with a flame thrower.

It's 5/6" or 3/8". There are two lines in the photos. The bungees secure the line to the jack stand when travelling. The bungees come off for launching, and the coil of line is placed in the bucket. Sorry for the confusion. Check the second image. You can see the coil of line placed over the step pad that protrudes from the winch stand, with a coil on it. You can also see the large loop in the second photo hanging from the step pad.

Is something hiding in this picture? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I made two improvements to my launching and loading. The first is how I handle the line when launching alone. The line has a clip on one end for attachment to the bow eye, and a loop which slides over the step. The line is stowed on the winch stand and tongue. There are two lines in the images which illustrate the stowed position and the launch position. The line is stowed on the winch stand and tongue, secured by bungee loops and balls. I remove the line from the winch stand and clip the line to the bow eye and slide the loop over the step. It can be seen in the lower picture. I put the coiled line in the plastic bowl. It is the bottom of a plastic barrel, which is secured to the trailer frame with heavy duty cable ties. This barrel happened to be red. I coated it with a Rustoleum rubberized black paint, the sanded the top edge, exposing the red plastic. It sort of matches the red pin stripes on the trailer. One important thing. Make sure the coils of the line are oriented so the boat pulls the line off top of the coiled line. I like a long line, fifty to sixty feet. I also prefer polyester or dacron to nylon. Nylon is stretchy, which tends to slingshot the boat. I prefer to float the boat off the trailer as opposed to backing up quickly, then braking to slide the boat off the trailer. I'll back the rig until the boat is floating. I then pull the trailer from under the boat. If the boat moves when I start forward, I'll back up further, until I can pull the trailer from under the boat without moving the boat. The winch is a Fulton F2 (two speed) which replaces the winch that came with the rig. Got it from Amazon. The price was about 125 bucks plus sales tax if it applies. If I knew then, what I know now, I would have replaced the winch before I even used the boat. Massachusetts does not allow power launching and there are some ramps that require you to drag the boat onto the trailer. Yes, if you don't mind getting into the water, you can easily winch the boat onto the trailer. But this winch can drag the boat onto the trailer and you don't have to strain when the winch is in low gear. I bought this winch because I stripped the handle from the shaft loading on one of the difficult ramps.

Early December works for me. Not new blood. Not young blood. But what I have serves me well. We can get together and tell lies.

If you want to run the AC, and an electric hot water heater you'll need a beefy generator. Is your kitchen range electric? You should check with your local generator dealers. We've just installed a 20,000 KW Kohler for backup power. We have a double built in electric oven. Our kitchen range and dryer are gas, so there is not a substantial draw for them. But the built in double oven and the two AC units could be a problem. Should the load exceed the unit's capacity it will kick off the circuits for the double oven and the AC units. Prior to this, we had a Coleman vertical 7500 kw generator for backup. It provided enough power to keep us in heat, the fridge, the well pump, and lights in each room. We had six circuits operating in the house and six in the garage. Had a Generac switch that controlled whether the electicity would come through the "line" or the "generator". You could not backfeed into the outside source of power. The only 240 volt circuit was for the well pump.You'll need to do some homework. I'd have serious concern regarding the electric hot water heater, electric range, and the AC units on a 7000 - 8000 kw unit.

Excellent!!

I strongly suggest you take a boat safety/handling course. It will include navigation. You'll learn the different type of navigation devices, who has the right of way when two boats approach each other, etc. It will include what you should carry for safety equipment including a first aid kit, flares, horns, whistles and other sounding devices, fire extinguishers...…………………………………………………………...

Ahhhh, go back to your igloo.

Here's my technique for removing leaves. First, I set the walk behind mower on the 1.5 inch height. Then I set the lever on Mulch and mow the lawn. The mower does a great job of mulching the leaves. Once I've completed mowing the lawn around the house, I move the lever to Bag and it picks up every little piece of the leaves. I may have to dump the bagger on the lawnmower on the compost pile several times, but the lawn is immaculate. I will repeat the process once or twice before the trees finally shed all their leaves. In addition to the mower picking up most of the twigs, by having the mower set at the next to the lowest level, the leaves do not get hung up in the grass and the wind blows them into the woods, greatly reducing the time it takes to process the remaining leaves.

Best of luck with her. Now, go make some memories.

There are times the least expensive is also the least effective. You can always do what was done years ago. Lay the motor on the floor with the spark plugs up. Remove the plugs and put a teaspoon of two cycle oil in each cylinder and spin the motor over two or three times to get the cylinders and pistons coated with oil. Replace the spark plugs. That was it. That was then. Now engines are fogged which gets all of the internals in the powerhead coated with a waxy oil. Google "fogging an outboard motor". You'll get more how tos than you can read. Servicing your motor is not the place to be concerned with the cheapest. That may be more expensive in the long run.

Regarding size, I've had a Nitro Z-7 and a Z-8. The 7 was 18.5 feet, and the 8 is 20+. Look at them side by side and they look pretty close. But they are night and day. I also have a 16 foot square stern canoe, and I enjoy fishing out of it. In fact, I spend most of my time fishing out of the canoe. That is because some of my favorite fishing holes are not compatible with a nice fiberglass boat, or a tin for that matter. But, it is nice to get into the big boat when it's more practical. Can get up, move around, and carry more gear with room to spare. As far as downsizing goes, I don't recommend it. I stepped up from a Z-7 to a Z-8. A foot to a foot and a half may not sound like much, but it is. I'd hate to go back to the Z-7. Plus in a sixteen foot boat, you have to exercise more caution when fishing with another person. It kind of feels cramped. I do fish with friends out of their smaller boats, and enjoy it, but I do miss the extra space of my boat. Fishing alone, you should do just fine with the smaller boat. I've never felt my Z-8 is too big. But I've been in smaller boats that seemed to be too small.
