  1. Home hardware currently has a Philips 11w A19 bulb which is the equivalent of a 60 watt bulb for $15. It's a soft white with over 800 lumens so its certainly bright enough. With the save on energy coupon it's $10 plus tax.... a good deal for a decent bulb..
  2. I like the Cree LED from home Depot.. with a coupon they're about $10 each.. we only use 7-8000 kw/h per year ...most of my lights are LED
  3. I've seen an armoured police truck here in Hamilton.. used for armed stand offs... gets the police closer to the scene without the danger of being shot
  4. Or you can go to the stelco fishing club awards night April 4th... fish farmer and spiel will be there... they have all the info if you need it... ( the beer is cheap)
  5. I have one but I don't use it for fear of losing it....
  6. There were some guys out on Lake erie this past weekend who drilled holes to the auger handles...
  7. With a stroke of a pen even a semi-auto shotgun could suffer the same fate...The rcmp was given the power to do this long ago. Imagine a city cop who doesn't have a clue how gun laws work(most don't) somehow finds out you have one...you're arrested, jailed and on your own when it comes to the courts... in all likelihood you will be found innocent but only after tens of thousands in court costs and probably a lost job and home....
  8. I picked up 2 last night, one for myself and one for a buddy. They look brand new to me...either way as long as they work it's all good.. What a great deal. There might have been a half dozen left..
  9. A transformer blew at work due possibly by a flood combined with a faulty safety switch from the city feed... total meltdown and a few power outages is east Hamilton... we are running on several very large generators with no real timeline yet for repairs....millions in damage.
  10. The only time mine looked like that is after fishing at the beacon...
  11. I just want to know how they got chewed up...lol
  12. I had my blades sharpened by clints in Binbrook but I haven't tried them yet. If you have been out to Jordan harbour fishing your blades can look like that due to the dirt and grit blowing off the highway ...
  13. There aren't as many crappies as before due to increased predation from the pike but the ones that are there seem to be getting bigger... Should be interesting at the derby on feb 9th
  14. I fished it on Wednesday.. caught and released a 4-5 lb pike and lost another. Saw a crappie on the camera as well as a bass and some perch.. there seems to be a good year class of pike all around the 5 lb range. Two years ago we caught a lot in the 2 lb range...
  15. had a cottage nearby.. I believe it...
  16. Home Depot sells carpet for boats but you have to search the custom order samples...
  17. Easy access to the lake but with no parking signs along the road... I guess you have to know someone or park where legal and sled to there
  18. propane prices go up and down at Costco depending on the market price.. The Ancaster store charges by the litre and most times the tank isn't fully empty to begin with. I then use a mr buddy adapter to refill the 1 lb tanks.(then tested with soapy water) so it costs about 60 cents for a 1 lb bottle. You have to take care to store them outside as well..
  19. Costco charges by the litre to fill the propane tanks . Last fill up was just around $10 for me. When the expiry date is close you could do an exchange for a newer one and then go back to costco... the exchange company will recertify the tank and put it back into service...
  20. He's reasonable to his guests bit he also threatens to have your vehicle towed of you park anywhere near the public ramp without getting his permission even though it's owned by the crown... if you don't stay there but you use the ramp you have to check in with him..
  21. I went today Dave... fishing was a bit slow but the guys that fished yesterday said the fish showed up in the afternoon. Another local said the fish maybe having trouble entering the bay due to an ice wall near the channel over by turkey point??... I went out of old cut. There is clear water near Jimmy's huts but further out towards st willys it gets murky...st Williams is said to be clear water
  22. It looks great.. I can see a little torque in the drill. I wonder if one of those handles that are on a hammer drill would eliminate that?
  23. When I was out at long point today I heard what sounded like thunder that got louder as it got closer. When it went under me it felt like a like a wave under the water...The water then went up and down...It was really cool but I wonder what a newbie would thing of that?
  24. She wanted to go home... 3 days is long enough....
  25. My wife was in for 3 days after an emergency c section was done... Mac in Hamilton..
