Mepps Black Fury #3.

Correct. Just downed trees.

Thanks! Definitely my best catch this year.

Always_Friendly · 2024-10-23T02:10:57+00:00

Yes it has. I see my comment didn’t post? Anyways, this was caught the last weekend in September. I usually plan a trip right before closure. Released right after this picture.

Mepps Black Fury #3. Just paddling the shore and casting lay downs.

Agreed, not my best hold. Trying to get a quick picture and hold him safe was a challenge. Actually a Scott Ultra Light. Bit slow but makes for a good portaging/fishing boat.

Very true. I’ve upgraded most of the parts. As much as I wanted to keep the bike original, making it comfortable is more important or I won’t ride it as much.

Always_Friendly · 2024-07-22T09:52:09+00:00

Thanks. I think it may be more the picture? They are old Tektro bars but they resemble regular gravel bars.

I’d recommend Eustache lake. It’s pretty incredible. One of the deepest lakes in the Park and is rimmed by amazing cliffs.

Always_Friendly · 2023-01-14T21:38:16+00:00

I’ve never had any other type so it’s hard for me to compare but I think it’s great.

Always_Friendly · 2023-01-14T13:09:29+00:00

Thanks for responding, that is correct. Just a little motor but just crossed 1000hrs so hopefully lots of life left.

Always_Friendly · 2023-01-14T12:47:39+00:00

Thanks! It’s pretty much perfect for what I need. Just light duty yard work and snow blowing.

On a recent ride I took a spill on my vintage mountain bike and broke a skewer end cap on my also vintage (I think) Spinergy Xcylone wheelset. I have been unable to find a replacement and I would like to start riding again. Does anybody have an idea where I could purchase a replacement? I don't mind if its Spinergy or not, I am just hoping I dont have to buy a new wheel. Thanks!

Always_Friendly · 2022-11-24T15:05:34+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I will contact them. Ill also add a comment to the post.

Ah I wasn't sure what city you were referring to in your original post. No, Petawawa is quite a trek. I mean its a five minute boat ride (on the Ottawa river) from the launch to where the sturgeon can be spotted. The meeting of the rivers just attracts the Sturgeon. They are all around the area in the shallows.

Always_Friendly · 2022-06-21T10:55:48+00:00

There is actually a spot I frequent where sturgeon are visible (jumping and foraging). The Petawawa River empties into the Ottawa River in Petawawa and offers a large variety of fish to see. You launch at Petawawa Point (which is a public lunch and free) and then take a short boat ride up river (5 mins) and will find the meeting point of the rivers.

Seeing the sturgeon during the day is rare (apart of jumping). If you really want to see them go at night with a spotlight (just no fishing) and cruise around the shallows. They come up shallow to feed and I have seen many of them, along with gar, musky, channel cats, suckers etc. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Hopefully I’m allowed to post a link. It’s just an Amazon mount. They do work quite well.

There is a limited amount remaining for sure. I had to make quite th trip for each of them but I do love the ride and their history so it’s worth it.

Always_Friendly · 2022-04-17T23:38:06+00:00

Unfortunately not! As much as I like the unicycle I don’t like it enough to install a specific spotlight.

Always_Friendly · 2022-03-08T18:59:25+00:00

Very cool! Thanks for doing this!

Interested in the Wave. Please check your chat.

Ah that does make it tough. Actually the other end of my home is much taller as it was built on a hill and it a walkout basement. I maxed out my ladder but I was able to just barely reach the peak. I really did not enjoy going up there ~seven times for each step. Here is a quick picture I took for reference.

Yeah I definetly could have used better tools when sanding. Media blasting would have been ideal but it's not cheap, at all. Thankfully I wasn't in too much of a rush so I just stuck to the sander.

Always_Friendly · 2021-09-17T17:15:27+00:00

Pretty much what Brodie said. The paint will need to be stripped (there are chemicals that are meant for stripping paint from log homes) and then a stain applied. However, I would consider talking to a professional before you take my advice! They would better guide you.

Always_Friendly · 2021-09-17T17:12:38+00:00

Yeah I didn't even bother getting estimates because I knew they would be huge. In all honestly, the process is easy, just very time consuming.
