Just off the phone with my parents who gave me the news... I can't believe it... What were they thinking ??? Funny, I was on here just before I received the call and was reading the post by "cram" on Lifejackets to be mandatory in Canada/Ontario? Toronto man dies after canoe capsizes on Big Cedar Lake The Canadian Press PETERBOROUGH, Ont. — Provincial police say a Toronto man has died in a canoeing accident on Big Cedar Lake in the Kawarthas northeast of Peterborough, Ont. Police say two men were about 150 metres from shore when their canoe capsized on Tuesday evening. Two other men who were nearby were able to locate a 32-year-old man and assist him to shore. The other man could not be located and they called 911. The body of 27-year-old Kostas Danny Markos was located by the fire department in seven metres of water about 100 metres from shore. Police say neither of the men had life-jackets and they had no other emergency equipment in the canoe.

Thanks for all the tips everyone. Found some at an Asian Store in Pickering. $1.29/bag, but they are mixed and there seems to be more smaller that the ones I had hoped for.. Will try a couple more places before our weekend getaway this weekend.. Thanks again to all... Will post pics when I get back.. Tiz

Hey all, Heading out for the pike opener next week for a 4 day weekend and wanted to use some smelts as bait.. Does anyone know of where I can purchase any that haven't been cleaned yet ?? Went to a couple Asian markets and all have been gutted and headless.. Any help would be most appreciated... Thanks in advance. Tiz

I play under Tizfun & Tizzy595.. I really into the Omaha Hi/Lo.... love the game...

Was at CTC store tonight and saw that this model was on sale for $299.99... brand new too... If anyone is interested, it's the store on the north side of Taughton Road, just east of Brock St... Was in Walmart right after and they have the same one for $499.99... go figure.. Tiz

Sweet.... I too felt like I was sitting right there... Take off and landings were the best... Awesome scenery.. Thanks so much for getting me up there.. lol Tiz

I understand and knew it was nationally advertised, but what are the odds it was purchased from someone in Ontario... and only how many days if that, after my post ??? C'mon seriously... put 2+2 together here... Oh well, they'll be plenty more.. Tiz

Well, thanks to all for the reply's.. Just got in from a 4 day road trip ( work ) and going through my emails and to my surprise someone from Ontario has purchased this boat.. Can you believe it.... I'm not saying anyone from this board, but I had some worries about posting it, in case something like this wound happen... The price was right... So to the Ontarian.. if you saw the boat on here... next time, find your own damn boat !!!! Guess it just wasn't meant to be...... Damn............... Tiz

Hi all, I'm in the market for a boat and have come across a deal that has me stumped and not sure if I should make the drive to go and get it.. It's a 2000 Ranger Cherokee with a 115 hp Merc.. So, I know about Rangers quality in glass boats, but what about their aluminum boats ?? Does anyone have any previous knowledge or ownership of these boats ? Would you pay 7000.00 for this ?? Is it worth it... They are willing to make this deal happen if I come and get it within 2-3 weeks... Only thing worries me is the drive this time of year..... weather wise.... Thanks, Tiz Here's the boat

You may want to try www.nadaguides.com... It's in US funds but helped us when our 2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE got totalled.. Offer went from $6100.00 to $8300.00 with alot of whining.... Keep the pressure on them... keep giving them examples of similar cars.... Here's a pic Best of luck to you... Tiz

I'm in too... just going it to have a look around... Tiz

OMG.... What a monster for performance.. I'll take one too..... Tiz

I too noticed them on the eastbound Hwy 401 just east of Brock St in Ajax... Really not sure why they were out eating up the budget so early in the season.. Tiz

Funny thing about this post...We had rented a cottage in Point au Baril a few years back from Sturgeon Marina just across from the Provincial park. We've done this many a times in the past but this last time we left our boats docked like always and the next morning, we had our rod lockers snapped off and all our our rods were stolen and tackel too.. They even attempted to take one of the bowmounts off as 3 of the bolts were missing.. We call the OPP and made the report.. Just after they had left, we see these guys from the trailer park carrying a bunch of rods and I had recognized mine from the pack.. We confronted them and called the OPP again.. At bit of a scuffel and swearing until they arrived..As it turned out, we got some of our stuff back where they stashed them in the bushes... Not sure what the charges were for them.. Maybe same group of you know what ( I cannot say ) Tiz

Okay, so we're clear on that.. but this spot is north of the CNR tracks and well north of Hwy 401 & Hwy 2.. We're fished for them @ Wilmont Creek years ago and north of the CNR bridge... Ah well, just the thought of hooking into one would have been nice... Thanks to all for their input... Always Always is this board a great place to ask.. TC Tiz

Ok. I have a question for you all... I drove by Duffins Creek in Ajax yesterday and it was just packed in with fish. Called a friend to let him know and he wants to fish it later today or tomorrow.. Now, I explained that the close of the season was yesterday but he says it's only for rainbow/browns and not Salmon... Is he right ?? Can we still fish for them ?? If so, you may want to have a look out that way... I couldn't count the number of fish I saw yesterday.. Tiz

Congrats !!! This has to be one of the best vids I've seen is a long time..... Great work.... Tiz

My Condolences you and your family.... Some great shots there that will last a life time... Tiz

This Xterra has the 4.0ltr engine.. 265 hp with 285lbs torque....Can't be any worse than my Trailblazer... Trailblazer could only get 400 kms to the tank.. As for it being a truck. We all have different thoughts of what trucks are.... It's an SUV..... not a truck.... The domestics may have the full size truck market, but looking at the Nissan Titan and the Toyota Tundra there is some definite competition here.. These are well fitted TRUCKS that most or if not all are very happy with.. I guess it depends on what you're using it for... I was in a 2009 Nissan Titan, it's an NFL Edition... Wow.... what a beautiful interior and great curb appeal... My wife cars before my daughter totalled 4 weeks ago was a 2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 loaded... loved the car, great on gas and with 257,000 kms on it.. Our insurance company gave us $6800.00 for it... Only serviced at Nissan and it only went in 3 times for repairs.. 1/ Gas tank neck that you fill, was rusted... $266.00 2/ ABS on the rear.. drilled them and repaired $528.00 3/ Back wheel bearing replaced... $ 471.00 She now drive a 2007 Nissan Maxima SE again loaded ( something about her cars have to be that way.. got love her....) and she is on cloud 9... What a great car, with great miliage, beautiful interior, power to spare and what a great ride..... So our Family is now very proud owers of Nissan's and there's no turning back..... Bye Bye...........Domestics............. Tiz

GeorgeJ... these repairs were after I spent $3000.00 for the extended warranty to 160k kms... You may have seen or worked on many cars but Imports from my past experiences cost less because they have not as many problems as our Domestic junk... I've driven our GM for a long time and owned 2 Nissans.... And for myself..... there is no comparison...... GCD... you may have a point, here are my cars/trucks bought new.. 1996 GMC Jimmy.... Junk.... 4 years and traded.. 1997 Pontiac GTP ....Junk.... traded after 2 years ( Wife hated this car because of all the problems ) 2000 Isuzu Rodeo....Junk... compete engine rebuild @ 71k kms 2003 Chevy Trailblazer LTZ .... don't even get me going.... paid $47,000 new and worth $2600.00 now So you tell me if buy used is so bad, why were these car/trucks bought brand new and all with major problems... Have owned used before (imports) as we currently do.... Henry...... the truck never did have a hitch installed.... it's ordered though... These are my past experiences and some may have had great ones, but I will not spend one more dollar into GM..... wish they had disappeared and it's to bad , we had the chance.... and that's from the bottom of my heart.... Too much hard earned money spent on poorly made vehicles... Just my thoughts. Tiz

Well after many many sleepless night trying to figure what I should do, I pulled the trigger and put my 2003 Chevy Trailblazer to bed.. That truck has been a nightmare for me since day one.. With over $8,000.00 in repairs since new, I vowed that GM has seen the last of me.. It was in need of repair again... Exhaust manifold, brakes, tires, 4X4 not working, no muffler and the list goes on.. Took it into my friends garage for an estimate on the repairs and he figured about $3,000.00 + ... NO THANKS !!!! It had 311,000 kms and some of my friends bet me it wouldn't make it to 300k.. You loose !!! I just traded it in for a 2006 Nissan Xterra with the Off Road package and the Rockford Fosgate sound system... The ride is really nice and tight and the 4.0 ltr really hauls ass.. Pick up my newer truck on Tuesday.... can't wait...

All I can say is WoW !!!!!! Just a little demanding aren't we..... Tiz

You're not alone BillM.. I personaly think the skin mounts look a whole lot better.. I have a 18 lbs Pike done by Markham Taxidermy back in 1989 and and a 13 lbs Walleye done by Brains near Orillia in 2000 and they both look just as good today as they did when I picked them up... I'll agree with the over painting... Tiz

Hey there, Did you happen to purchase that 15 footer with the 40Hp that was on Kajiji last week ??? Looked like a nice little rig for the money.... If so... great deal.... congrats.... Tiz

Hey all, My 20 yesr old nephew bought his first boat and took me out today for a days fishing on Simcoe... Boat started fine and when he went to hit the throttle,it bogs right down... It's an older 70 hp Merc... Can't figure whats wrong and we took the cowl off and everything looks fine... He said to me that he replaced the seals of the carb earlier in the week as they were leaking.. Can anyone give us an idea of whats happening ?? He's in Trent Univerity and on a very limited budget for repairs... thanks in advance, Tiz
