  1. x2. well put Hot Rod
  2. side story: Pine Wood Lodge is a camp ground in MA, and they have a pond where people fish. When I was 12 I went there with a buddy and his father, and there was these kids that were on the aluminum dock pan fishing. then after they were done, they would place them on the dock, and kick them back into the water. i didnt know better but my friends father did. When we were heading back to dock from his jon boat, he cranked the trolling motor, and crashed into the dock and knocked these kids into the water. That lead to a fist fight the next night at the bon fire but that's another story. Moral: handle your fish right or someone might take offense.
  3. What you think? I plan on hitting the water (shore) Friday to see if I can christen the new year
  4. The problem I don't think is with the gears, but the pedal itself does not push back or forward. Like i legit put all my weight on it to get it to move and it didn't. I can only assume its the pedal being stuck?
  5. Anyone familiar with MotorGuide Stealth Trolling motors? Mine came with one, I was going to make a video about how my foot pedal MAY not work ( still might, but been super busy...bruins game tonight woot woot) This isent mine but it looks exactly like this : I know that the white button is on/off. and the wheel is speed, but does the pedal go forward and back to adjust where its being angled? left or right? If so, mines stuck rusted probably...wonder if i could get it to work
  6. I really don't get the fascination with College Football.
  7. Pictures? just checked this post, at work now, will post pic tonight
  8. Job+hard work= money = 2 IPad < Motorola Xoom i love math!
  9. It seems very narrow, which is a concern but I havent taken it out yet. I really have NO idea how to work the Motorguide foot control. I know that there is a button on the side that makes it go, then a scroll that adjusts speed...but how the hell do i turn it? by hand? that seems pointless. The manual that came with it said that you push the pedal forward for right turn, back for left, and keep it straight for straight. But I dont know if its rusted but i pushed all of my weight on the pedal and it didnt move. I think i'm going to make a video tomorrow and post it. see if anyone could help me out.
  10. LOL. Story I hear everyday at my work, 80% of our business is network consultants for small, medium, and large business (some international) but we also have a storefront where local people come in and we work on their computers. I NEVER talk down to anyone that comes in, or try to go all nerd over their *** and make it seem like they don't know what they are doing, because its just bad business and I always wanna help anyone out. Geek squad are a bunch of morons. They get paid 10 bucks an hour ( so under paid for tech industry its not even funny) but they charge over 200 an hour for a house call Their goal is not to repair, but to get you to REPLACE whatever is broken...remember, they work for a RETAIL store. they are not your friend. So many of my customers are people who come from Staples tech support, or Geek Squad who mess everything up. Tom, just from what you are saying it just sounded like there could of been a problem with the driver, or, windows system file. Good job with the check disk Lol they told you your HDD was on its way out? Seriously what does that even mean? I would only say that to a customer if it was making sounds it shouldn't, or if I could read the drive from our sled but it wouldn't boot windows ( that just happened on Thursday in my shop) As for the check disk and the msconfig BOOT tab, be careful. If you really wanna do a thorough check disk but not have to deal with "on next re-boot" crap just type "Start>run>cmd> chkdsk C: /r" What the "/r" does is it check 5 stages, as opposed to the default 3. and automatically fixes error. Next time you ever have comp problem just PM me ..that goes for anyone.
  11. Well I just got back from picking up my new boat and overall I will say that I am pleased. I have a 12 foot Jon Boat and this is a 14 Foot Jon. The 5 HP motor is in perfect condition, the stealth + motor guide pedal works like a charm, and the pump for the live well is strong. The only thing that I can see that I will have to do is cosmetics. I DEFENITLY plan on replease that horribly ugly carpet that it has, i mean seriously what was he thinking?!?. Also the back seat has seen better days but he threw in another one as a replasement. I would also like to re paint it, not sure how difficult that would be but its worth looking in to. Here is my concern....the beam. the beam is very narrow as you can see. Now I know hes fished out of this for a while but I cant imagine it was easy...i mean look at it. It looks like one hard turn with the motor and its tipping...but maybe i'm wrong? I'll have to wait and see but either way the price that I got it at I could use it for a season, and resell at the end and probably make a profit which is good. Let me know what you think/suggestions please!
  12. just some $1500 5HP Jon Boat..nothing special. Just something is good at this point. Hey you know what I noticed when trying to do some research? It is RIDICULOUSLY hard to find out which local ponds around me in MA I am able to boat in. DCR, then MA Wild Life the google. Ugh. I jut wanna know!
  13. x2 gettin my boat boat tomorrow! pumped!
  14. My original Fred C Young Big-O hand signed crankbait. To me its the holy grail of cranks, it only catches LM's 3 lb+ . Its amazing.
  15. There are probably 15 ponds in all of Myles Standish, I think that College Pond offers some good large mouth from shore fishing, or Torrey Pond I havent been down to plymouth so much in the past year but I plan on it this year. Have you ever been to Ames Nowell State Park in Abington? Awesome Fishing. Most underrated in the South Shore
  16. My girlfriend was going to get me tickets for valentines day (yawn) but i said to not bother. I've never been its quite a hike from south boston :-/
  17. Desperation bait = grabbing a knife, diving into the water and swinging the knife frantically until you get something....or until someone calls the police.
  18. Is this a true story??!
  19. BR Forums work great on my Droid X Droid ForTheWin
  20. Maybe instead of making video of trick shots he should focus on being the first string QB and apply those talents. (hes only a back up QB) Nevertheless, impressive
  21. Do you fill that out while doing your TPS Reports?
  22. Awesome! Congrats! I don't own any...i guess this means i should order some! to the credit card!
  23. Dude, serieal ports were phased out in the late 90s. : I have four, and none of them have that port. Not on the back, and not behind the door on the front where there are other connectors. I'll bet the computers you are looking at have USB ports. OH RLY?
  24. I am literally looking at several computers at my work that have that port.
