this was a great read. I've also got #3 on the way which means I'll be trading in the celica (last shred of manhood) for the minivan option. Towing doesn't concern me one bit because a) my boat is light and I never get to use it :wallbash: From what I've heard, the Honda is a beaut but can the budget accomodate it. May have to get the Caravan (is it the cheapest out there?) and consider it a disposable.

nice looking loot! I'm just not sure about the hat, why pay to advertise for them? they should be giving those things away

if you find this place let me know, I always thought it didn't exist

some beauty fish there. One of these days I'll have to try my luck on Simcoe...just doesn't seem right fishing so close to home

Can't say I recall ever getting home before realizing it. My problem is I've already done the math in my head so I notice mistakes right away at the register. Actually happened to me yesterday and I did point it out to them that the bill was too low, they were kind enough to increase it. Other times that I've pointed it out they've attributed it to something "being on sale"...kind of like the gas auger we heard about a few days ago

good prices, but everything else is poorly run (especially the staff at the Mississauga store - nobs)...that's the way I felt about LeB's when I used to shop there

wow, very neat. Sadly, it will be vandalized some day. Didn't we just have some incident in our own country where some people "relieved" themselves on a war memorial (or something similar, I forget the exact details). Nothing is sacred these days, not even honouring those who lost their lives for peoples' freedom.

how late are they open...I'm on my way! At least he tried to tell them they were making a mistake.

We put in a gas fireplace 2 years ago and it heats our place (only 700 sq. feet) without a problem

:D :D that is great

I may be the only one hoping for snow...bought a snowblower a few weeks back and she's been parked in the garage waiting for some action!

very cool Chris, nice videos

hahaha...celebrate the filthy little animal....I have a de-formed toe they can make a statue of if they want

I took the Red-eye to Vancouver once

pair of mouth spreaders and pliars

I didn't really think we were discussing whether carp were sport fish or not. I couldn't care less if its a sportfish. If I find one that makes it into our small, land-locked lake I'm taking it out for reasons previously mentioned.

if I ever caught a carp at our cottage (there are currently none) I would definitely remove it from the lake. As mentioned by others, they cause great damage to spawning habitat, not to mention they decrease water clarity and are ugly as sin

I agree, fishing does hurt. I once got beaned in the forehead with a Red Devil...not the cheap one from cdn tire or the lightweight from williams woblerseither, I'm talking the real deal here...dang thing left a mark for hours.

I have 2 of the "pop can" style reels. Had a problem with one after a few months of use and BPS replaced it no problem. Other than that they work fine for me. I did notice the low profile in the ad but don't see myself adding another reel

I agree. I understand people really love their pets, but a $5000 reward would've gotten you the same result (except you'd have 10,000 more in your account). We had friends who did the same thing. Lost a cat and put up 1000.00 reward posters around. Turned out the cat had gone in their neighbour's house...and the neighbours actually took the reward money!!! A 50.00 reward would've done the job!

I've had some minnows in a bucket for a couple of weeks now, keep them alive by adding snow, letting it melt and then starting all over when the bucket gets too full. Tried to feed them corn flakes but not sure it worked...but hey, as long as they stay alive until this saturday's derby! This is probably not the answer you were looking for, but its all I got.

hahaha that made me laugh

they're both looking pretty intently at those flipflops though...probably thinking if the apparatus tips they can jump out quickly enough. No more stupid than russian roulette I guess

I currently use a very deep rubbermaid with holes drilled around the top, works for me...but I do have a milk crate in the back room, may need to modify it too

welcome to the board...although this may be the last time we communicate as I know nothing of this carp-bug. Snagged one once by accident while slow-rolling a spinnerbait for springtime pike but that about it
