  1. Fishermen never die, they just smell bad.
  2. This is incredible and unbelievable footage. Not only is the subject amazing but the ability to capture it on video by the photographer is daunting too. http://www.arkive.org/osprey/pandion-haliaetus/video-00.html
  3. 2200 Yonge Street (Y&E). Got an internal email and then my kids also alerted me. Located right over a major subway line security at ground level was more noticeable. CCMT, I guess you have met the new VP of Marketing. Ten years after that meeting!

  5. And it's going up again tonight just over 2 cents!
  6. Let the games begin. :wallbash:
  7. I have four girls and four grandkids – three married and one engaged. It's been our family tradition to have Sunday dinner together. When my parents were alive we went to their place. When the kids got boyfriends and eventually married the tradition switched to my house . . . Usual Italian fare of home made pasta with a meat course vegetables etc. I got home Friday and she tells me I have an appointment with the butcher on Sat. a 8:30 (he's been our meat man for 40 years) because she has to do a shift at CT and we are having a engagement dinner next week. I pick up the order and take it home and find 14 French cut veal chops (not enough for the dinner next week). I asked why the veal chops, the kids want then on Sunday. Sunday rolls around they come early and want them done on Charcoal NOT gas. NO charcoal! Two of the girls were going out and asked them to pick me up a bag. Al's well after two phone calls "is it the round ones". They came back with charcoal and a cake! Outside with the guys over a cold one and they were done in no time and we sat down for our usual hour+. They cleared the table and out came the cake! WE couldn't stop laughing this was hilarious. I asked them why " well they asked us if we wanted any wording and couldn't come up with anything else.

  9. West Vancouver resident Chris Lewis knew he had a big fish on the line the moment he felt the tug on his fishing rod. On a fishing trip with business associates in Haida Gwaii, Lewis quickly realized he had one big fight on his hands Saturday evening when the 84-pound Chinook salmon on the line shifted direction, surfaced near the boat, then dove down. "When the fish hit the line, there was a moment you could tell it was a large fish," he recalls. "Then I saw the fish on the surface for just a few seconds - and it was massive," Lewis, 45, said Tuesday. "The fish clearly let us know it was huge," Lewis recalls after landing the Chinook - a record for the Queen Charlotte Lodge in northern B.C. Despite its size, it only took Lewis a half-hour to reel in the salmon. While Lewis fought to bring in the fish, his friend Stephen Mason had a bite and a 31-pound Tyee fish on his hands. Lewis credits their success to the lodge's guide, Derek Poitras, who took them into his special fishing spot, along a big kelp bed just east of Klashwun Point. "We were fortunate to be in there. There is a lot of luck, but there is also a lot of skill being in the right spot," Lewis said. The fish was photographed and measured at 51.5 inches before Poitras spent 15 minutes reviving the monster fish to safely let it swim away. They knew they would put the big fish back once it was landed. "It was such a gift for me to be able to catch it, and it would have been a real shame to take that fish out of the ocean," Lewis said. As the fishing party toasted their success with a celebratory drink, the big female Chinook crested 30 feet from the boat, showed its tail and went its way. In the past, a 99-pound Chinook was reportedly caught in the Skeena River and a 97-pound Chinook was caught in Alaska. Duane Foerter of the Queen Charlotte Lodge said the 84-pounder Lewis caught is the largest they have landed in 21 years of operation. In 2000, an 82-pounder was hauled in. "It has been a very good fishing season," he said of this summer. "There's been a lot of fish around." Dr. Brian Riddell of the Pacific Salmon Foundation said it is encouraging to see a fish that size survive. The fish was probably at sea for five or six years and was heading to the Skeena River or Rivers Inlet, he believes. "This is good news," he said of the catch and release. "Large fish like that are usually females and this was released back into the ocean, which we encourage."

  12. Cliff my best wishes. You are a pillar on this board among many others. In the last few years you have helped me out a few rimes in the small engine problems. I will be in the same boat; in a few years. I can't let go of my knowledge. I'm trying to pass it on but It's hard. I have done it and it gets harder as the years go by and technology overtakes me. By the time my grandkids want to work my typography skills won't be known. I can only leave memories. You sir have been a mentor to the people you have come across And they will remember your legacy forever. Go sit in your boat and relax I'm sure you will have a lot of people over to keep you busy. IF YOU RETIRE DON'T give up your knowledge and kindness. I have felt it! Ps when you have all of that time on your hands, keep off the lake when it's dangerous so your friends cN come and visit. Best wishes my friend who I never met.

  16. SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian man had his driving licence suspended for 10 months and was fined after he was caught driving a scooter made of a motorised beer cooler capable of carrying several dozen drinks -- after knocking back a few. The unconventional scooter featured a cooler box mounted on a wheeled frame and powered by a 50 cc engine, complete with a steering handlebar. The cooler doubled as a driver's seat and was able to hold up to 48 bottles of beer. Chris Petrie, 23 and from the northeastern state of Queensland, bought the vehicle over the internet for $A600 (383 pounds). While assembling it at a friend's house the two sampled a few beers before Petrie decided to drive it home, according to a local television station. "By the time we built it, it was quite late so we thought we'd go for a bit of a test run," he told Network Ten. He was caught by the police en route and found to be more than three times over Australia's legal blood alcohol limit, and was charged with drink driving and driving without a licence. In court, the judge asked if the cooler was fully loaded and was told it was full of canned rum and Cokes, Network Ten added. The sentence included an A$500 fine.
  17. No screws to get loose! I looked at this thing and everything is inclosed in a steel housing except for the worm gear! I had sprayed it while back and let it sit. I turned the handle and gave the window a gentle push and it started to open I gave the track a cleaning sprayed it with lithium grease and also the gears inside the housing, going out it's fine coming back it's a bit rough. I'll let it sit and then give her another go. But at least now if needed I can take the housing out and get a new one! To all thanks for your help and "suggestions" C4 a definate no.
