  1. Yeah, that's exactly the way it played out Roy. It was obviously some type of scam but I didn't give him the opportunity to finish it. Sad to think though how many gullible folks get sucked into this sorta garbage.
  2. I got a phone call yesterday but the guy had such a heavy accent....sounded East Indian ??.... it was hard to figure out what the heck he was talking about. It was something to do with computers and something about mine sending out some type of virus that was going to infect others. He said he was going to tell me what to start typing and that way he could tell what the problem was. I told him to stuff it and hung up but just wondered if anyone else has heard of this or know what their scam is. I saved the number, it was long distance from area code 518
  3. Class act too when the Canadian coach gave a ski to the Russian when he broke his.
  4. Very impressive work !!
  5. I bought the Guest 2611 back in '99 and it's still going strong 15 years later for the 2nd owner of the boat. They make a great charger.
  6. Guest 2611 would be my choice
  7. Fantastic pictures Joey, very very nice !!
  8. Every day when I watch the evening news I know why there isn't another country on this big ole earth that I'd rather live than right here !!
  9. I had my wood stove installed in the family room a couple years ago and it didn't affect my premiums at all. They told me as long as it was certified there was no increase. Also no increase when I had the propane insert put in the living room fireplace.
  10. You just want to sit up there and use my deer for target practice
  11. Been married 47 years, 4 months Paul, I musta found the right combination
  12. And sadly, that help is far too easy to get for those that choose to abuse our system. I have a 70 year old cousin who was born into welfare and just stayed on it forever. She had 6 kids by 6 different men and was never married and never worked a single day in her entire life. She just sat back collecting her welfare and the more kids she had, the more money she got. I was never unemployed a single day in my entire life, from the day I left school until the day I retired, and she told me I was nothing but a damned sucker for working all the time and paying taxes. If someone needs a helping hand till they get back on their feet, lets give it to them, but lets also get rid of the garbage like my cousin who do as little as they can to get as much as they can for free.
  13. And the prices for propane are still rising Cliff. A friend down the road uses the same supplier as me and just payed 16 cents a litre more on Friday than I did 2 weeks ago.
  14. Great story LOL
  15. I use Navionics Hotmaps for the West Arm but they don't chart anything west of Hwy 64. Don't know if there's anything else available as of now though. You can get a good detailed map from the lodge.
  16. And when you walk up to the Direct Energy Building and see all that fancy curved steel work at the front of the building, you can know my late son was one of the men that erected it. Makes a dad proud !!
  17. Check your PM box Bill
  18. Lakair Lodge....705-898-3211 Their right at hwy 64
  19. Some great shots there TC, always enjoy the bird pictures
  20. Yeah Bernie, I've got alot of Dewalt tools and their all good so that's why I figured the radio would be too. It's got excellent sound when the garage lights are off but it's tough working in the dark LOL You'd think if the static is an ongoing problem Dewalt would do something about it. Oh well, I'm heading into town this morning anyhoo so I'll just return it and get my money back.
  21. Thanks Bernie, it's one of those Dewalt jobsite radio's that run off 110 or an 18 volt cordless drill battery. Got a good deal on it and figured it'd be good to use in the garage or when when I go places where no power is available. It's $200 at Home Depot and CTC had it on for $130 Oh well, good deals aren't always that good I spose.
  22. Thanks Roy, I just went out and tried the radio with the battery rather than plugging it in and I still get the static, so I guess the filer idea is no good. Guess I'll try a different type of radio.
  23. I use a whole whack of T-8 fluorescent lights on 2 different switches to light my garage. I always have a radio playing when I'm out there and have never had an issue before but I just purchased a new radio and now get nothing but static when the garage lights are on. Turn the lights off and the static goes away. Just wondering if there's some type of filter that may get rid of the static or do I look for another type of radio ??
  24. Yeah your right Shaun, awesome picture !!
  25. That's a nice tent, should make for alot of good trips for a long time.
