wrong direction

Plus we gotta carry them out and its a fair hike.
-
Yah I am sure we could have dug up a few worms, but we wern't really that motiviated. I think we shoulda probably just dumped some whater or something and dug some up... but it's nice to just get back out to our little fishing hole and enjoy the air. Fish are only a bonus on this trip.

Well, we did our anual trip into the Park, and unfortunatly this year we didn't catch any fish. Mostly our fault though as our primary method is with worms and we forgot to buy them. They didn't have any for sale in the park yet either. We spent the day tossing all the artificials we had but didn't have any luck.... Anyway here are a few pictures to browse...

Show me a case of someone texting at a stop light and them letting go of the brake and killing someone.... I have seen and know a person that was recently severely crushed by a person that accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake. they were not texting. An idiot is an idiot on the road regardless if they are reading a text message, answering a phone call, listening to the radio or not. You are making a fairly blanket statement about someone quickly glancing at an incoming message being so oblivious that they can't keep there foot on the brake. Sorry you point doesn't hold much water to me. Again I would still trade 100 traffic cops dressed as hobo's for one vice, or criminal or even a guy in a cruiser on the highways. Waste of resources imo purely to raise revenue and nothing more.

I tihnk you are completly missing the point of what I am saying. The article specifically targets people who happen to pull out there phone to check something while stopped at a stop light. I can honestly say i see no harm in this. While driving, yah sure, while stopped? Nope. Don't see it. Show me one time when someone that was sending a text message while stopped at a stop light caused a death in an accident. Are you presuming that because a person waited until it was reasonably safe to take a quick peek at there phone while stopped at a stoplight also does the same while they are driving? Are you now presuming they are guilty of something they have not done? Is it a violantion against the highway traffic act to check a text message at a stop light? Yes. Is that specific act dangerous? NO. It's not. While driving, yah sure, pull them over. While stopped? thats just lame. Easier or not, they are not preventing anything. They are only making revenue because its an easy grab in the quota bag.

At a stoplight?
-
This is what I always understood the law to be as well. You can look in but you can just say pop your trunk or open your glove box, or let me dig under your seat unless you have reasonable grounds to go searching... EG smell drugs in the car, see spent bullet casings on the floor etc...

Found some fiddleheads in algonquin this past weekend as well. Too bad I didn't find any brookies. I did find a pretty nice sized shed, I'll post a pic of it tonight...
-
Umm so your saying that a person stopped at a stop light that grabs there cell phone to check a message while the light is red is more dangerous to society and my loved ones than a drug dealer loose on the streets, a Gang banger, or a convicted pedophile or rapist? I have my doubts.

If you don't realize there is a HUGE waste of resources in the traffic policing side of things because it is used as a revenue generation scheme, you are fooling yourself. I am not saying that people shouldn't obey the traffic laws but if you are happier to have government money funding projects like this that could instead be used to fund the policing of bigger crimes than there really is nothing to talk about? I would trade 100 fender benders for one less violent crime or one more violent crimanal behind bars. I know several traffic cops, and several cops in other areas, and they ALL feel the same way. Traffic policing is required but is purely there for revenue generation and nothing more. If there was a concern about cell phones in car, then enforce a cell phone jammer into every car unless its connected to the vehicles bluetooth... If speed kills then put a beacon on every speed sign and a reciever in every car that limits a cars speed. If seatbelts save lives, then don't let the car engage in gear without it attached. If drinking and driving is dangerous than put an interlock on every car. Traffic policing has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with revenue. Again I am not saying it shouldn't be done or people shouldn't obey the law I just don't for a second believe its nothing other than a tax grab.

Yah I do...How about your daughter getting raped by a drug dealer?
-
Personallly i would feel safer if there were fewer cops sneaking around looking for people using a cell phone and more cops sneaking around looking for drug dealers, gun smugglers and other violent crimes.

Here is a contribution from the weekend on my boat... Bonus points if you can guess the lake and location....
-
Yup, big fan of the Beasties... I still remember listening to them on casette tape at my friends house while playing street hockey 25 years ago. Girls and the rest of license to ill blew many speakers..

I was not a big fan of the Hulk, Loved the first Iron man, Captain America was pretty good. This movie blows them all away. The hulk was AMAZING!!!!! IMO the hulk STOLE the movie. He was awesome. If you even moderately enjoyed any of those go see this damn movie. I am a big movie guy, I see everything. Cabin in the Woods was also enjoyable but a total Snore compare to this.
-
Keep this thread spoiler free...But damn go see that damn movie. best movie I have seen since Lord of the Rings. In fact I would put this up against any one of the LOTR movies. Saw it at 12:02am and when it was over at almost 3am people were on there feet cheering.

Ok fine, but I only mention it because the website mentions how much pollution is caused by burning fossil fuels...If you're going to present yourself as being green, shouldn't you actually be green?

Well, I am looking to take a trip with the GF for an extended weekend maybe 3 days or something... possibly a week in the next month or so. I would like to limit the drive to about 12 hours max from toronto. She loves to fish. Well she loves to catch. So I am hoping with the use of a guided service I can get her hooked on spec's. I was thinking of doing lac beauchinen kirkland lake are, or ...??? Anyone have any recs? and BTW if you want to keep any of the info you can pass on to me on the down low, I will honour your request to keep any info private that you PM me private. I will post pictures though, but no locations. Thanks in advance... Price isn't a huge concern but I would like to keep it reasonable. So chartering a flight or something like that is out of my wallets reach.

Is there a brake upgrade you can get? What about a tranny cooler? Is it standard or auto?
-
Imagine how good this would be for the environment if every cellphone was charged by burning wood.

towing effort is all down low, so you want to have torque in the lower end of the curve.
