Been there! Manual 6 inch Good luck.

Irish, you are the man. I can edit tourism books until it kills me, but when I have to post the iPad does its thing. Thanks

I'm so sorry for my Gordie misspell, the iPad does what it wants and I didn't correct it, sorry. The worst thing I could have done is spell his name wrong. He Was MR. Hockey. when I grew up.

Along with the original 6 teams. great tribute to him. Gretzky and other legends pay tribute to Gordie Howe in Saskatoon Clare Clancy, The Canadian Press Feb 6, 2015 10:14:29 PM 1Share Wayne Gretzky figures there is no photograph fans ask him to sign more often than the one of him as a smiling preteen beside his idol Gordie Howe, who is playfully hooking a hockey stick around the future Great Ones neck. Every time I look at the picture or sign the picture, its nothing but great memories, Gretzky said Friday as he and several hockey legends paid tribute to Howe in his hometown. He was nicer and better when I met him than even what I thought he was going to be. The iconic photo was taken in 1972 in Gretzkys hometown of Brantford, Ont. Gretzky remembers it like it was yesterday. We were standing there, Gordon grabbed his stick, actually put it around my throat, Gretzky recalled. It went on to be one of the most popular pictures Ive ever signed. Gretzky, Bobby Hull, Brett Hull and Howes sons Mark and Marty shared their memories of Howe at a news conference Friday morning ahead of an evening celebrity dinner in honour of Mr. Hockey. Gretzky said Howe helped pave the way for him and others to enjoy success in the sport. He said idols sometimes dont live up to their reputations, but this wasnt the case with Howe. Youre always going to remember him as a great player, a wonderful person and a tremendous family man, Gretzky said of the ailing Howe, who has suffered recent strokes. Howe, 86, was all smiles on Friday as he made his way to the dinner in his honour. Wearing a suit and tie, he shuffled through a hotel lobby, pausing briefly with a fan who shook his hand and captured the moment with a selfie. Howes 801 career goals rank second in the NHL to Gretzkys 894. The Hall of Famer also holds NHL records for most games played (1,767) and seasons played (26) and won the Stanley Cup four times with the Detroit Red Wings. Brett Hull said when he played in Detroit, he often chatted with Howe about hockey, sports and life in the dressing room before games, conversations that hell treasure. He said its hard to imagine playing for as long as Howe did. Being productive at that age is a remarkable feat and its hard to fathom that he could really do it, Hull said. Howe suffered two disabling strokes late last year but his family says his health has improved after he underwent a stem-cell treatment as part of a clinical trial in Mexico. He hadnt walked in two months, Marty Howe said, adding that his dad has also gained 21 pounds since the experimental treatment. His back is bothering him a little bit now, so he shuffles his feet but I guarantee when he gets to that (dinner) hes going to walk to where he needs to go. His blood flows hockey. Bobby Hull said hes thrilled to be part of the Howe tribute. I go back to when I was 10 years old, he said, adding that he stood in the sleet and rain to watch a game at Torontos Maple Leaf Gardens. He was in awe watching Howe play. My dad looked at me and said Robert, when you can shoot the puck like that you can play in this league, he said. Hull said eight years later he played against Howe, and it was a wonder to share the ice with him. Howes sons both talked about the family values their father holds dear. Hes just a special person, Marty Howe said. He treats everyone the same. Gretzky said Fridays dinner is a chance to thank Howe for what he has done for hockey. I dont think theres any question that if it wasnt for Gordie, and if it wasnt for Bobby Hull jumping to the WHA in 1972 that I might not be standing here today, Gretzky said. So they definitely laid a path for guys like Wayne Gretzky to become professional athletes.

I knew that was coming Terry had a 2nd Christmas, nice machine you built.

I remember John Kerr bring his out a few times, this thing was SOO small. haven't seen once since. I had ah six at one time and lost it on Simcoe, note to self tie it down tight!!!!

I produced that publication for four years. I read a lot of data:)

Wayne, you were snagging? You are sooooo bad!

Somewhere out from the 9th line north of Barrie in 90 FOR water tou will find a brand new Jiffee auger less and engine! One hole and off it went? Lo it wasn't mine I worked on the advertising BellMobility acoount, One of my friends asked me IF I could do anything for him after it left his shirt pocket, yes I can phone and see if it rings. he wasn't happy!

In the late 60s I heard of this happening on Simcoe, he would jump in and come up in the other hut, the light guided him. apparently one time he didn't make it! too much mixture with the ice cubes!

Many years ago on Simcoe the operator wanted a deposit for any beer yes beer that went out on the ice. IF any tootle or cap was missing tou lost the deposit! Well I dropped a cap in the hole. I always carry a magnet with me so down it went and sure enough I got it back with much luck and trials. From then on I always carried an spare cap just in case. On Nip we were given the third degree on dropping anything down. I picked up almost all of his utensils during the night. he had very few words to say in the morning.

You can use basket coffee filters and a large funnel.

Will be featured on discovery Channel tomorrow night between 7 and 8. http://www.gizmag.com/ice-auger-go-kart/35451/

that's my tree after hitting the ' plastic' going up!

Lew, that fox thanks you for providing food. I have feeder (sock) but only for American Gold Finch and others that can feed through the fine screen. Squirells tend to leave it alone as I've seen for the last 4 years. No droppings with this feeder. better than a family down the street that got one into their attic! I'd love to find out what it cost them! My front yard tree is getting to the point where they can jump onto the roof, I've rigged the tree with a 'plastic' wrap, so if they climb up, once they hit the plastic (can't grip it) down they go you have a natural deterrent and well fed what if something likes the fox, ever thought of it? get the camera ready.

I had experience on Simcoe where the ice 1+ km out was well over 12 inches and where we parked less than six with a small creek that flowed in, we kept clear. Was it a pressure crack? He must have been close to shore by the sounds of it! glad he made it out safe. At night it may have turned out different.

When we had the huts if someone caught a fish the others stayed clear, when people see a crowd they assume fish on and move in close. We had enough in our group to set up a perimeter around the huts With flags indicating holes . . . any fish caught was place in a cooler in the hut or under snow and no blood anywhere. Some people have no respect for others.

I think about that every night I watch the news. This killing/hurting each other should stop. We are on this earth for a very short time why not live in peace. The billions that are spent on weapons boggles my mind. just sad.

I got one of those once 1/2 after sunset took it to court with the official recorded time the sun had set that evening, I was within a block of home and had 4 minutes left compared to the time stated on the ticket. Dismissed and praised on how I fought it damn nearly ran him over when he pulled a U turn when he stopped me.

Cliff take care of your hard head!. Wayne I know the feeling with my wife with colitis for 15 years, don't know if you are coming or going sometime Always hope for the best but expect something to go the other way. She was very fortunate that they made the right decision.

We live in YorK Region (Woodbridge/Kelinburg. Our closest in York is at YorK Cenral or Markham Stoufville.Quite the hike. If an ambulance is called you are taken to York-Finch or Humber the closest to the residence. We are in line for a Hopsital at 400 and Major Mac across from Wonderland but that will take years to build.

A few years back my wife had to be picked up by an ambulance, she couldn't stand or come down the stairs. At the hospital at 8:30 pm she wasn't seen until 4 am. I Tried to let the EMs guys go but they can't leave until the patient is with a Dr. Pumped her full of Demerol and gave her a funnel to pee in. Kidney stones they say and home we go. Two weks later emergency surgery to remove her uterus because of a large lump. These two people had nothing to do but wait with me, they did get a good list of eating establishment in Woodbridge.

If you have to again show some blood and you'll be first in line. Been there many times and that's Alwas the case. Bleeders are alway rushed in.
