After a foul statement like that...go wash your mouth out with soap

Thx for sharing Joey. Loved the report and Pics.

What kinda wine do you recommend with carp lips Craig

Sorry I messed up the quote thing on my response

Can't help you with any injection advice Tony. I had a foundation leak a few years ago. Turns out the problem was a plugged eavestrough. The water was running down the outside bricks and somehow seeping through into my basement. Unplugged the downspout, instructed my son not to hit anymore balls onto the roof, and never had any more problems. Have a boo. Maybe you will get lucky like I did.

Good on you Brian I don't have a heater so I haven't been brave enough to get Lucas out on the ice with me, but he's all over chasing bluegills with grandpa in the summer.

Although I never owned a canoe I drove VW golfs since 1986 and have always had a box trailer. It has paid for itself many times over with all the stuff I have hauled in it. Racks on a box trailer would be the route I would be looking to go.

As per Rattletrap2's comments. My 2013 Sante Fe gets between 7.9 and 9 Km per litre in the summer when we are going to the cottage every weekend...so lots of highway driving. This winter the mileage is worse as we are doing almost no highway driving. So I would say highway only is between 7.9-8.3L/100KM. City is over 10. I am very vigilant... perhaps anal...lol about keeping track of such things. My journal in the car says I have spent $2163 to drive 16,934KM...you do the math.

My company has 100% swallowed the temp worker poison pill. Probably 10-15%...perhaps more... of our workforce is temps...office and production floor staff alike. We have people who have been temps for over 7 years working beside people who do the same job and make LOTS more and HAVE benefits. It is want is is but in makes me sick. Just happy I have 30+ years in and have skirted the entire issue. As BillM said the days of a production environment job...GM...being a sure thing for a healthy retirement package are LONG GONE. I feel real sorry for anyone born after 1990. I know that is a broad statement but I think anyone working in my type of environment will understand.

Best of luck with whatever route you go. Keep us posted.

X2 for the Sante Fe. Really really happy with mine. Love the extra room and gets about 550-650KM per tank. I must add that it is only 1 year old though..so I can't comment on how well they stand the test of time. I know several people who own them and all are happy. The other Plus for me anyway is the dealership has been 100% great to deal with. Debbe drives a 2005 Accent so we have been dealing with them since 2005. I see lots of Santa Fe's on the lot that aren't very old and are well within your price range.

I actually think Strombo will do fine. Just something the hockey folks will have to warm up to.

Weather aside...sounds like a perfect day to me

How could you possibly put a price tag on something like this? No one would ever be happy with the amount. Some will always say it's too much. Some will always say it's too little. I'd be willing to bet not many will sue for more money. After having spent all that time behind bars I'm sure there first priority isn't spending the next 10 years in the courts trying to squeeze some money out of the system. They probably just wanna be done with it and move on. Sad story for sure. We live in an imperfect world.

Somehow he missed the Kinmount Theatre.

I concur and yep. I think Ron McLean is brilliant in his role. But honestly I got tied of Don Cherry about 10-15 years ago.

I agree 100%. Over my 34 years of driving I have had a few instances where I have just plain not been paying 100% attention and except for lady luck things could have turned out real bad. I'm not saying people shouldn't be more careful or that cell phones are OK...because they certainly are not. I'm just saying that if you honestly think you couldn't have caused an accident at some point in your life while behind the wheel...I think your only fooling yourself.

My reaction from watching was I'd rather hit the vehicle then a big heavy trailer full of god knows what. Can't say what my reaction would be in a real time incident but that was my thought watching the video.

Congrats on the move Bruce. I know you will enjoy the space and the yard more then being in an apartment.

I think the latest I have ever been on the ice is April 8. Very good chance that record might fall this spring.

Loved this thread last year and I would be happy to see everyone's journey this year too Shayne if you need a hand with any of yours give me a shout. I'm equally adept at sampling whiskey and working. Besides I'm almost out of the syrup you gave me last year

Common practice for the guys that service our printing equipment. The night crew and weekend crew are pretty much strictly on call. A service technician once told me he didn't think his son had ever been driven to the arena for his hockey in his own vehichle as he is on call every other weekend and takes the work van.

Keep up the good work. Been there done that and it's time I got back on that train.
