Important Engine Question
« on: November 29, 2009, 04:54:41 PM »
Ok, I lied and just wanted to show a picture of my 29 1/2" Walleye I caught in Canada this year. Let's see how many people see this before it is moved Thanks, Dan

Dan, I'm in Galesburg, Just turned 57 and am temporarily (maybe) retired. My last job was for Ryan and Assoc. piping co in Davenport. Since Sept 1. My brother and I are fuill time Honda mechanics. We are the only customers though. I'm going through a 70 and a 75F, My big brother has a 74K he bought new, a 77K he is going to donate to a patriot rider and a 76 wing. We have a garage full of projects (junk) too
 Hey, you didn't catch that fish down here in Lake storey did you? One of the QC area pipefitters I used to work with caught a big one here.

Awesome fish!  Where were you in Canada?  I fished a bunch in the boundary waters when I lived in Illinois (Normal, Champaign, and Evanston), and also up in Kenosha, WI for the salmon runs.  I sure miss fishing there.
