Ice fishing ? I doubt @boydeste will be joining you on that one. Clear your head and freeze your sack off. 😜 At least no weird insects, poison ivy, snakes, etc. to worry about. But, I can imagine how quiet it could be. Until someone nearby fires up a gas powered auger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Don't suppose anyone knows if a PCB can be fixed. I've taken apart a very old ECU from an 90's car (Lancia Delta Integrale - and this id not a very good example of the marque either), the PCB inside the ECU housing has some visible damage. It looks to have been soldered before as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use like a giant corkscrew to make a hole to fish through. Can eat what you catch or put back. ICE FISHING TRIP available December 1st – April 30th One of the best ways to explore Lapland's nature during winter! We are located in remote are with great fishing opportunities for grayling, perch, trout, pike and whitefish. The trip starts with a ride to a nearby wilderness lake. Our guides are highly passionate about ice fishing and they will share their best tips with you. If we get lucky our chef can prepare a dinner in our restaurant from the day's catch for you (ask separately). A campfire, hot drinks and snacks will be set up to keep us warm!

Like diving, calms me, you just concentrate on the present, the nature around you. Kinda like Mindfulness in a way i suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pain in the ass to clean though, but it sounds like you may have an available option for that if you catch anything. Best of luck to you and enjoy mate.

Caught loads of Perch as a kid in Northern Ireland, but never ate them, only ate the likes of trout or salmon, not what we'd call coarse fish. Bur when in Rome, and all that ...

I've spent the last hour cross referencing parts, part numbers and it looks to be unobtainable. Means that I'll need to use a standalone Ignition ECU. It's not my car, I'm just doing a job for the person who owns it. My next option is to pass by a local electronics shop and see if they can suggest a PCB that can be used, or maybe one they can cross ref using some details of it that i've missed. I went to the gym earlier, did some bag and pad work, trouble is my arms and hands are now too shakey to start buggering about with it again lol.

Honestly, I don't like it and you can easily twist a hand or arm tenden when doing so (even when in good shape). I do occassionally give the big bag a few palm strikes, and the other day I gave it a good hard elbow blow. Almost knocked the bag off it's chain. Felt good, and I am glad to know I still have that left. I'd hate to be on the wrong end of one of those. Seriously. Some of those parts guys can do magic, when you find the right guy.

Welcome back to "Paradise". I hope you brought along a gas mask with you, and many good sweat rags. You'll need em. Having a house sitter is not a "good idea", it is an absolute necessity in winter climates - not only for my own peace of mind but for insurance requirements as well. He's well accustomed to clearing snow with his and my gear and doesn't need snow shoes to do it, lol... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago my GF had a house/dog sitting side job. She did pretty well with it, and was often busy with it, sometimes staying at various houses (some of them very nice). We always got a kick out of fcuking our brains out in the master bedroom of each house. Cheap kicks - lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Didn’t make it on television last night, but we still had a great time, Oilers won in overtime. I posted a YouTube short of the winning goal……who knows, maybe it gets more views than some of those Pattaya bloggers? Probably most fun I’ve had at an event, first row great view, close game & my team prevailed…. @Yessongs when are you bringing that pretty wife up my way so we can watch the Sharks? BTW the boos are for McDavid every time he touches the puck, that’s why I’m giggling like a little girl Edited January 15 by Golfingboy 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will meet up with our respective Doctors Thursday, and get an assessment. I am going to put on my calender for some time next month having blood work done. Then sending the results to my Doc back in the U.S. for review, along with a follow up zoom consult to cover all the "annual" stuff. He knows me better than anyone, we communicate well, and I trust any advice he has given. We are philosophically on the same page regarding health related stuff. Medicare will pay for that end of it, and I will pay cash for the blood tests at a certified clinic (i believe under $100). B.P. reading today - no meds.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
