  1. I've never personally seen a tornado and hopefully, it stays that way.
  2. Good to hear Dave, I remember the big one that hit Barrie years ago and killed...I think...18 people.
  3. I'm heading north on Saturday for a 7 day musky trip and wanted to be sure my #1 reel, a Calcutta TE 400, was working as good as possible so I dropped it off at Shimano in Peterboro Friday afternoon. They just called to say it's all ready. It was completely stripped down & cleaned in some sort of bath, reassembled with new drag washers and lubricated and made like new again. All for $30 Pretty impressive in my books.
  4. That's a scary picture Dave, hope it's all good for your Dad.
  5. Pay attention guys, it could get nasty over your way..
  6. Very nice indeed.
  7. If you've never used these type of shelters before, be sure to keep the snow off them in winter as they don't always stand up too well to the heavy weight.
  8. My guess is this thread will be locked before the political one, but I have been wrong before.
  9. I've read many reports on different boards about chargers being left on constantly, overheating, catching fire and destroying everything. I now only plug them in when required. Overly cautious perhaps, but at least it's safe(er)
  10. Always sad to read about these accidents.

    That's a great comparison picture Joey and personally, I've always preferred farm fields to apartment buildings but unfortunately, that's progress. But then again I'm old enough to remember Ontario before the 401 was built LOL
  12. When you need to learn about flags, you go to an expert https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0CBwQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DXl12Sp1KiEk&ei=EgSfU5uACM2pyATxhoCoCQ&usg=AFQjCNH6T-typa16ta1XkTgOZYMaNXiesQ
  13. It can also mean disrespect for the country the flag represents Paul.
  14. Very nice Norm, extra mobility is a great thing.
  15. Don't know if it signifies the end of anything Dave, but it's not right. Something I've seen that's much worse is a waterfront home on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River where a guy flies the Canadian flag upside down on a regular basis. I haven't been there for a couple years but I did see it several years in a row.
  16. Thanks for that Mike, a very enjoyable read about an excellent trip.
  17. Looks like an excellent way to spend a day !!
  18. I have no problem promoting good gear Rob, I just wish I got paid for it
  19. Good to hear Cliff & glad their working out for you. Wish I'd known you liked them so much as I don't use them anymore and gave a bunch away a couple years back, I could have sent them down to you.
  20. Good to hear you got the problem solved, plus found a new shop that you can trust.
  21. Suicks are an old classic that work as well today as they ever did and the muskies never tire of them. I remember taking a friend out a couple years ago who was new to musky fishing. I suggested a few baits to buy including a Suick. He tried everything and nothing worked so he put on his new Suick and got bit on the very 1st cast. It then became one of his favorite musky baits
  22. Atta boy Cliff, always good when you set the bar a bit higher !!
  23. It's been bad for alot of folks this spring, sure hope your friends all get through it OK
