  1. I would like to buy some replacement blades but these things are a huge pain to find (maybe because they sucked and Eskimo changed their design). Anyways, Cdn T and LeB's both carry replacement blades for Eskimo but not the style I need. I went straight to the Eskimo website where they had them, but won't ship to Canada, I originally bought the auger at LeB's but like I said they no longer carry these blades. Found them on ebay, but seller won't ship to Canada either. Anyone ever buy "BB 8" replacement blades for a barracuda?
  2. perfect. Once I get some decent lighting (ie daylight) I'll jam something (preferably something not too strong)in there
  3. Man am I glad to hear you guys think its a shear pin. Thanks for the offer Brian but you don't need to drive one all the way out here (unless you're hitting a certain river tomorrow ) The model is a Yardpro 10.5 hp 30". I lived in Barrie a few years without one, then one year (4 or 5 years ago) it just snowed and snowed and snowed, like 30 cm's at a time each time. By the time I decided to finally buy in late February everywhere (except Walmart)was sold out of snowblowers. Brian if you're heading west tomorrow let me know and I'll tell you where I'll be fishing, maybe we can meet up.
  4. This is a tough one. I don't "need" that many shirts, but the wife keeps on buying them. I have no clue what I've got so I'll take some guesses: T-shirts 25, long sleeve t shirts 5, dress shirts 20, casual shirts 12, golf shirts 10, hoodies/sweaters 10...in other words waaaayyy too many and I give a bunch away every year. My wife truly has a shopping problem
  5. Went out to use the snowblower tonight and found that one side was not working properly (auger on one side wouldn't turn under load). When I cleared all the snow from it that had piled up I found I could turn that side of the auger manually (machine off of course mama didn't raise no dummy)but the side that worked I couldn't spin it freely. I recall when I bought it that there was a shear pin mentioned. Does this sound like a shear pin issue? If it is, then there must be separate shear pins for each side.
  6. wow thats some impressive work!
  7. Don't blame you for wanting breathable. When I was a young lad of 18 I once ate a can of brown beans, then went skiing in k-way pants. Apparently k-ways are not breathable. When I took them off at the "apres-ski" party 3 people fainted and a dog puked. The pants had to be put down.
  8. beauty pike! Good numbers too
  9. I would take those pike any day through the ice
  10. the dink pike seem to like it! That perch that got caught at the end was huge.

    Beer...

    there's the best one. Gotta admit I've "borrowed" that one a time or two
  12. those are some fantastic fish, well done and thanks for sharing
  13. man that was crazy. For the first few seconds I thought the guy was standing at the edge of the ice fishing into open water!

    Any Ice?

    sorry bud not a clue but at least I've bumped you back to the top
  15. ...you know you've gone too far when...
  16. wow I wouldn't have guessed the lakes were ready to go yet, exciting news!
  17. bingo...thats how we did it a couple of weeks ago. Took us about 45 minutes to go about 150 feet to open water. Ice was around 1.25" thick at that time. After chucking the anchor 45 minutes my buddy was too tired to fish but it worked out well for me (except the smashed tail light from backing in)
  18. woohoo! cold in Barrie today, all I could think about was there must be ice forming somewhere
  19. the Leafs don't play hockey in May, you must mean a different month
  20. only 7 inches needed to get your car out there. I believe it, but I think a lot of people would call you insane if you did it
  21. ...solid being the key. Sometimes when the ice takes longer to form than normal people get a bit antsy and head out when they shouldn't
  22. I truly fish like a madman in the summer, don't stop to eat, drink, nothing...but come winter, if I can't just sit there and stare at 2 orange flags while doing absolutely nothing I ain't going
  23. crazy Fins
  24. winterized it for the second time this past Saturday. Thank goodness musky is closed or it would be MIGHTY tempting to haul the tarps back off, get it off the blocks etc etc yet another time
  25. ...maybe not a one-liner but a great answer
