Expensive for you Jon, but I MADE $100

I'll be there at 12:00 today, anyone else going ??

Perhaps if more people were doing 30-40 in yesterday's conditions, rather than changing lanes and passing others at 80-100, we wouldn't have had the 700 collisions I spoke of above But then again, what do I know ??

I'll take that as a compilment Mike, I think Andy Roonies great !!

I haven't been to a movie in 35 years Brian, so I guess I won't miss it

I absolutely can't believe how many totally LOUSY drivers we're forced to share the roads with these days, specially in weather like we had yesterday !! It was reported on this mornings news that there were 700......SEVEN HUNDRED !!!!!!.....accidents around the GTA during yesterdays snowfall.......that's COMPLETELY INSANE !!!!!! Some of you folks need to realise that you need to SLOW DOWN a little bit when the roads are snow & ice covered......you CAN'T be roaring down the hiways at 130 like it's the middle of July !!!! And STOP changing lanes every 100 yards, your NOT the only one who's trying to get somewhere !! And what's with the idiots that don't clear the snow off the car windows ??.......how the heck do you drive when you can't see ????? And why don't you spend a few $$$$ and put winter tires on your vehicle so you can get some traction and your not holding up hundreds of other people because you can't get up a tiny hill ?? .......You spent $30,000 for the car, go spend another $500 so you can move it in the snow !! And while you've got your wallet out, buy some windshield washer fluid too so you can clear some of the crap off your windshield and maybe see the guy in front of you so you don't slam into the back of him at the red light. SEVEN HUNDRED accidents......INSANE !!!!!! SLOW DOWN, PEOPLE !!!!!! Now, where'd I put my coffee ??

Very nice indeed !! I'm really happy for you guys Pete, it looks like all the years of slugging those heavy bricksNblocks payed off for you in a big way !! Lookin forward to fish'n those waters with you in a few months.

I don't have any 1st hand knowledge of the Harborcraft, but have heard alot of good things said about them. Sposed to be a top notch boat from what I understand.

Mo, the news said they closed both lanes because they need to bring in another truck to off load the oxygen and they want to keep the area clear incase anything happens during the transfer.

A tanker truck carrying liquid oxygen rolled over on HWY 400 around Steeles awhile ago and the hwy is closed completely in BOTH directions till at least after the rush hour. Just a heads-up for any OFNers who plan on using the road in the next few hours, specially those trying to get outta Toronto tonight.. Sorry to spoil your day folks

OPEC is considering cutting back on production to drive the prices back up. Guess they can't survive on their current paltry profits

3 1/2 decades for me, but no more, and I don't miss it one bit

Days like this make retirement even more glorious !! Think I'll go pour another coffee and put my feet up ........again

Absolutely Jim, I just figure some of us live in better worlds than others.

I hate to admit it, but I often get a chuckle when I see the 4 X 4's in the ditch and the "dolt" standing in a snowdrift, scratching his head wonderin what just happened Some of these 4 X 4 guys figure their invincible and have no need to slow down like everyone else when the road conditions go down the drain.

We haven't got any snow yet from this "weather system" but were getting losta freezing rain right now in the east end of Toronto and everything is getting coated, so it'll be a miserable drive for anyone on the roads this morning. Be careful this morning folks when you take that 1st step outside

Nice to have you joining us Rus, you should enjoy it. Lotsa good folks here and it's an excellent place for swapping fish'n tales !!

CDNfish and Huey, thanks guys, your help is certainly appreciated.

Ted and CX, thanks guys !! I was hoping it'd be as easy as you've both explained it. I won't be installing it till about April but it's always good to have things figured out ahead of time.

I planned on going tomorrow but may wait a day or 2 until they get the roads cleaned up after the incoming snowfall tonight and tomorrow. Traffics crazy enough around here without throwing 6" of snow into the mix too

Excellent show boyz !!!! Anytime you can share a boat with Marc for a few days, you know your in for both fun times and a great learning experience !!

Great idea Brian................but now can you lift it ??

Thanks Wayne, I forgot they keep bankers hours at that show....... jeeeeeeez, what kinda business opens their doors at the crack of NOON ?? Wander around the show for a couple hours and then hafta leave right in the middle of rush hour.......great planning

Thanks Harry, same place, different name. BTW, those towers in the picture on the front of that building were built by my son

I'm heading to the Boat Show tomorrow morning, weather permitting, and it's always been held in the National Trade Centre, but I see now their saying it's in the Direct Energy Centre this year. Is this a totally different building or just a different name for the Trade Centre ??
