Could you get on number 2 quick I wanna go too.
OZ. There seems to be a lot of interest in making that trip with me. I'm thinking about a comfortable coach, with all my Stager friends. You get second choice on the seat you want.

I've got a couple old wallets laying around, what town did you say those stores were in Mike? 
Fred: Get together with FishingFool, pool your wallets, put some cash in each one for expenses, and send them to me. I will see that they get to the right people.

So, she's heard of the scam before you did?

You know, Doyle didn't say where he lived. But I've seen similar scams, sans girls here in the Portland area.

Was that Billy who was with Doyle, for each episode of theft? Doyle did'nt say, but Billy is often a cling-on, isn't he?

A 'heads up' for those fishermen who may be regular customers at Lowe's, Home
Depot, or Ace Hardware.
...
Here's how the scam works:
Two nice-looking, college-aged girls will come over to your car or truck as
you are packing your purchases into your vehicle. They both start wiping
your windshield with a rag and Windex, almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts, if you know what I mean. When you thank them and offer them a tip,
they say 'No' but instead ask for a ride to McDonald's.
You agree and they climb into the vehicle. On the way to McDonald’s, they start
undressing. Then one of them starts crawling all over you, while the other
one steals your wallet.
Doyle had his wallet stolen on September 4th, 9th, 10th, and twice on the 15th, 17th, and 20th.
Doyle gets replacement wallets from Walmart where they are on sale for $1.99 each. He figures “why buy expensive wallets when I have been a crime victim so often?” Smart guy, that Doyle.

No, fires are more south of Portland. We are located north of Portland. We are definitely getting smoke hazy skies for past few days. Hopefully clears soon, expected rain today.
Gleakster:
Welcome to FS. I joined 3 months ago and look forward to the daily dose of tips, tricks, humor and nonsense. I'm in your neck of the woods in E. Vancouver, but do most of my fishing on the south side of the river. My plans to make a day trip to Detroit went up in smoke. Looking forward to clear skies.

Oak, so the wood won't split? Teak maybe?
Spirit:
I wouldn't worry too much about wood species, since it could be easily and cheaply replaced. I'd use stainless carriage bolts, washers, and acorn nuts. Pre-drill the wood (even cheap plywood - put a couple of coats of sealer/varnish on it, especially around the edges). Clamp the wood to the transom and mark the transom to match the holes in the wood. Drill the transom (2 holes top, 2 on or near bottom of wood). Space the holes in the wood so they don't interfere with anything on the transom, and out of the way of your outboard screw downs. Put the heads of the carriage bolts on the inside of the boat. If you have enough of an opening on your motor screw downs, you can add a second piece of wood to the outside of the transom. Make your bolts at least 2 inches longer than the total thickness of your transom.
Use some jam nuts, same size as bolts, with washers to tighten the transom assembly. Use hacksaw to cut off excess carriage bolts, one at a time, remove jam nut, add washer, then acorn nut, re-tighten, then do each of the other bolts, one at a time. Hope this helps. Tight lines !!

Thanks BF. Most of those children are still out there. We need to engage them every chance we get. Be proactive in our pursuit. Many of them served when others couldn't - or chose a different path. They took someone else's place. There, but for the grace of God, go I, eh?

Hey all wanted to share a sad bit of news with you... (show quote)
Bdubya:
I know how you feel. I started fishing this lake with my dad around 1956. I've lived in the Portland area most of my life. It was barely over a week ago it seems that I was planning on bringing my boat to Detroit for a day trip to fish - to get at least a little fishing in before winter. I heard a few days ago that only 2 buildings were spared, one being the post office. This morning I hear that all of the town is gone, including the 2 marinas. Pretty sad, especially for those who lost everything, including businesses, jobs, homes, and of course family and friends. It was only 5 or 6 years ago the lake had been drawn down to just a trickle during a severe drought year that shut business down for the marinas. Now this ! Perhaps we will meet sometime in the future at the lake.
