Hey,

Just wondering. I took down 2 lights and one fan from my kitchen and dining room and replaed them all with new lights. They work and everything is fine with them. But now in my living room nothing works. Two of the lights had 3 wire colors with a slew of lines in them. I think its a common neutral or something. I hooked up the white and red wires to the new lights and put a morret on the blacks(I think those were constant on for the fan control). But I think this wire also feeds the outlets in the living room. I remember I had this happen before to me in a different room, but I can't recall how to fix it.

Our group lost in the elk draw...

Anyone get lucky?

Just an FYI...

I dunno, you can see the guy blinking. must be a really good robotic one if it is a fake.

There is another oune of a moose licking the broadhead ofthe arrow while he has it in this bow. Too bad he didn't have it pulled back.

symetres are great reels, I have 3 of them and I can't tell the difference between them and my stradics.

If you want to keep it and its within your limit then keep it. As long as your putting some thought into it and your within your limit go ahead.

What is better? keeping 4 small fish or 1 large fish? The genetic makeup of the larger fish has allowed it to reach its size. however at 3 pounds your not exactly taking the cream of the crop.

For me personally, I don't keep any bass, musky or pike as they are considered to be catch an release fish by many as they are prized by sport anglers.

Walleye, pan fish, white fish and smaller trout are keepers within the various slot sizes imo.

Shimano has been losing money and with new leadership the accounting side is taking over much of the fishermen friendly side of the company. The product fortunatly is still solid but the service everyone has come to expect from shimano has started to be pulled in.

no manual in my car. Maybe its stored in the "Non storage" compartment.

Yah, I have heard first and second hand of the "nature" of this random draw.... We will see. I have my figners crossed anyway.

You can bet that draw was done, along time ago. Just saying.

 

 

Im going buck all the way this year. Both for the bow and rifle. Done with the controlled bull.

They are nice enough to put a nice big fat label of all the fuses ON the stupid storage only tray. You would think the guy that sticks the label or the robot that sticks the label on got a laugh of that one. haha Lets hide this bugger fuse panel back here behind the storage only tray, and put a big sticker here labelling whats behind here.

So my tail lights and intrument panel lights went out the other day while coming back from fishing. I looked everywhere for the fuse panel that had the tail lights or instrument panel fuses(of course this was in the dark. Looked on the kickplate, under hood, found dozens of fuses couldn't find the right one. Finally I call my dad and ask him he says oh yah, haha its behind the coin tray.

Hmm I look at the coin tray and its labelled on the outside...

"STORAGE ONLY"

I pull the tray out and low and behold there is a fuse panel with the offending 15 amp tail light fuse.

I thought Storage only would mean no fuse behind me.

oh well just had to say...

The whole gun situation with licensing is and was always a joke meant purely to appease the bleeding hearts. I think some knowledge and a test is fine and is a good idea but the whole registry and inception of the system was a joke. My cousin had his fac since the 70's and he only got a pol, I took the fac course and never got an fac but filed the pal papers and got my pal. I think as long as you had an fac you can get a pol. There was a period where you could get a pal with you fac but that has long since expired. I think lucked out because they used my fac course as a replacement for the pal course, maybe I just got lucky and slipped through the cracks. I would say if you have a pol your stuck til the registry ends. If you have an expired fac and you took the course and you have the course certificate thingy, you should get a pal(I did) if you have an expired fac with no proof of course or test then if your lucky you may get a pol or possibly nothing. Best thing to do is first look for you course and test papers, then call the number I provided and be very friendly to the person on the other line and play a little dumb.

Unfortunatly all of mine are registered. I guess I should just "sell" them all before it goes "you know whats up"

Yes there was in fact a 2 day FAC course and test that covered handling. I have confirmed this. I think this was a change in 80's or 90's. The FAC test did count towards the PAL testing requirements that started after bill C-68 in '95. I recall the issue I had is that I lost the certificate and because the test fell under FAC they didn't have records so I had to provide proof from the instructor. I eventually found my certificate of completing the course and test and then once I found it I was able to use it to get my PAL.

There was an FAC test, I still have the little certificate saying I passed the FAC restricted test. I wasn't able to get an RPal though they said if I wanted rpal I had to retake the rpal test. I didn't take the hunting test until a few years after the POL/PAL came into affect.

There was an amnesty for a while that allowed people to convert FAC to PAL and POL.

There are many old links about this but by now most people that had FAC's that expired already have converted to POL's. I am not sure if you can still convert, but they may let you if you play dumb.

EDIT

On running this through my calculator brain, I took the test when I was 18. I am now 33. this would put my test somewhere around 1995 which is when the whoel thing happened. Maybe I took it right when the PAL/POL came into affect? I could have sworn it was under the FAC though. I guess I could be wrong.

Try calling here and tell them you didn't know things changed and you didn't know your fac expired. Tell them you want to renew your FAC. 1 800 731-4000

Maybe they will sneak in a POL for you that will convert to a PAL once the registry dies.

I never understood why the stupid POL's even existed anyway. I mean its ok for someone to have 200 gun's. But its not ok for that guy to buy one? Something doesn seem right there.

You don't need to take the firarms course, you can just take the test. You do need to take the hunters course and can't just challenge the test. As for weather or not you have to take the test. Once your FAC expires you need to take the test unless you have proof of taking the FAC test before. I took the FAC test but never got around to sending in the papers until a few years after they switched to PAL/POL. All I had to do was send in my FAC test certificate. The test is pretty easy, but your best to get the book and do a bit of reading before hand. if your worried about it just take the course. Its not too expensive.

But yah you should call the rcmp firearms center to double check.

hahahahahah... thank you all for your replies. I think I'll give them a ring when I'm not at work incase other's think i'm plotting something.

Yes you will still need a license.

As I understand it if you had your FAC converted to a POL your POL will turn into a PAL.

If you had your FAC and it expired and you never renewed it you will still need to get you PAL.

Put one of these on you casting deck.

Would be happy to see it go to save some tax money, but do you think your taxes will go down because of this? I doubt it very much. I'll be happy its gone. I wonder if this will also include scrapping having to record your info down when buying shells at stores.

ALso what you fish for makes a big difference. a fish finder for bass isn't always required, but for lake trout, or smallies, even walleye a good fishfinder of flasher in the boat can be worth gold.
