  1. Good luck. I told you where to go for pickeral. As for pike, they are literally all over the place. You dont need to venture very far.
  2. Misfish, there's 5 kids at the cottage. The problem is, there won't be one around when I would like to go paddling.
  3. Mitch, I am in for them. I can pick them up this weekend as I will be up at the cottage. I sent you a PM.
  4. 870 Express combo. Yes, it may rust but for the price, you will have a shotgun that can do everything for you now. You can purchase finer firearms later when you have some extra dough. Keep it greased and lubed and it will be fine.
  5. Keep it up!!!! You are looking like a completely different guy.
  6. You tell your Mrs to fight this bugger. I finished chemo 2 months ago and am finally semi returning to normal. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
  7. I boated extensively through there. I had a trailer for a few years in HH. Get a chart. For 20 odd bucks, it will be the best money you ever spent. PM me and let me know where you are staying and I can give you a few areas and tips to work.
  8. Oh yeah, replace the gasket!! A replacement screw can be had for a few bucks. Keep one handy just in case the old one gets mangled.
  9. IMPACT WRENCH all the way!! I had the same problem with the lower unit on my boat a year and a half ago when I did my own lower unit oil. It zipped off like nothing.
  10. I've seen them and have spoken with their owners, they loved them. That said, I absolutely love Roxanna, my 14 month old dutch/german shepherd. She is very smart and is a beautiful dog. Have you looked at Belgian Malinois?? Another great dog. So many great breeds out there, you need to find one that fits your wants and needs and also your personality.
  11. Could be the pressure switch isn't working correctly. Check the contacts in it for corrosion.....with the power off of course.
  12. Foot control. You can try to spray the circuit board down with electrical parts cleaner but it is probably pooched.
  13. Lew, being a retired firefighter, you know about how fires start. I would check all the switches and junction boxes and outlets in the house. A room at a time and you will be done pronto. Just peace of mind.
  14. As for fabric, Sunbrella is really good. Mine is 12 years old and is still kicking with some patchwork.
  15. Eagle Canvas Co in Burlington does nice work.
  16. If you plan on running an a/c unit, fridge, etc.... Look at something a bit larger. 3000 watts should do the job comfortably. It wont be running at full power constantly, the 2000 will be near capacity. Price is higher but you will only buy it once.
  17. Good for you!!! You have regained control of your life. I've known many folks who were addicted to either alcohol,drugs or gambling and it wasn't a good scene for themselves and their families. None of them did anything about it and many are now gone.
  18. He was a class act. Always ready and willing to help members with Real Estate questions. Think of him when you wet a line this summer.
  19. Ah_long I believe. If you are in the West end, Aikmans in Mississauga could do it.
  20. You are fine with another Group 24 CRANKING battery. If you were running a trolling motor then you go with a Deep Cycle. Hopefully your TM battery lasts this year for you.
  21. Nice going. I'm hoping to sneak up one day next week and do some shore fishing around HH.
  22. Bite it they are not that pricey at costco. Under a hundred bucks for a new group 27. You may have been able to revive it somewhat by flushing and changing the acid but it would not work that great for very long. The plates inside are pooched, new acid will work for only so long and wont deliver very good performance. There used to be a place in Scarborough that sold 'rebuilt' batteries for less than half the price of a new one. Problem was, they would only last a couple of months. Many of the small car lots bought batteries from them back in the day. They used the above mentioned process.
  23. Chainsaw bar oil is not that expensive for what it does. Just because you could use old used motor oil does not mean you should. Dont mess with your chainsaw, it is not worth it.
  24. Smoke the second one. Get it over with and not have a media circus to give them a stage. What do Chechens hope to gain by blowing up Americans?? A long court case will only serve to validate their twisted cause whatever it is.
  25. They aren't too tough to do. You can download the Merc shop manuals for the motor and the drive off of the iboats forums.
