  1. Unfortunately I think that is likely to continue.
  2. Black cars look better in the shade.
  3. Really makes a difference eh? I'll keep that in mind if/when I go new in a few years. Unless rizzo is willing to sand and repaint it for me every couple of years.
  4. All the more reason for us to do more to look after ourselves, and get out there and post reports for you.
  5. A conservative did that already.
  6. In the retirement home I was at, some of the residents felt it. I didn't… insert your own punch line here_____________.
  7. While looking for the copies of my wallpaper photos I came across this photo I took a few years ago of a fishing buddy. After I finished laughing and taking a few photos, the offending lure was removed without incident… but he does look before sitting down in the boat now.
  8. laptop laptop laptop desktop phone Just one I really like
  9. Can't help with the repairs but if you're doing a web search use the term gunwales, pronounced gunnels and often spelt that way. Good luck.
  10. Best defence is walking in the bush with my cousin. He's loud…. and slow.
  11. Same places that you would normally??? Unless they are only sending them out to outletts that requested more??? The release I read only said that they would be shipped out at the end of the week.
  12. Some want to be part of something. Some want to be part of something but can't figure out how. Some enjoy being antagonistic. Some can't help but to be antagonized. Such is life.
  13. Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer.
  14. The MNR will be delivering a second batch of regs. Get em quick.
  15. I like that one even better. Trade ya for your old one?
  16. Here's something that few, if any, may have considered at any point during the season: If the Leafs and rangers win Monday night the Leafs will have home ice advantage in the 2nd round.
  17. They sure didn't show up for the first two periods last night, but London has given up a ton of third period goals this series. Tough going into London after loosing 2 in a row, but one game takes all is where it's at.
  18. Love the room in yours Roy. Maybe that's where I fell in love? Roger sure looks after his stuff.
  19. Well Roger if I'm going to be buying this new rig of yours in a few years I think I'd like the DI option please… If you give me a tutorial.
  20. http://www.nugget.ca/2013/05/10/summit-one-site-for-lake-research Summit: One site for lake research By MARIA CALABRESE, North Bay Nugget Friday, May 10, 2013 5:59:26 EDT PM NORTH BAY - The annual tradition of placing bets at Demarco's Confectionary about when the ice is off Lake Nipissing could help shed light on what's happening under the water. The second annual Lake Nipissing Summit led by Nipissing First Nation looked primarily at concerns about walleye decline and drew attention to pockets of research already underway to explain the changing ecosystem. The public can play a role in that research but have been slow to participate, the summit heard. “It's frustrating because a lot of the input comes after the fact,” said Scott Kaufman, a biologist with the Ministry of Natural Resources in North Bay. The MNR and its Lake Nipissing Fisheries Management Plan Advisory Council held a series of open houses in the district with the highest per capita attendance at the Dokis First Nation for input into its proposed 20-year plan. The plan from 2014 to 2034 would include reviews every five years. So far the advisory council has looked into the increase of yellow perch in the lake which doesn't explain the magnitude of walleye decline, although it points to a change in the ecosystem, Kaufman said. The summit heard promoting the harvest of yellow perch worked in southern Ontario, although the fish has a reputation for having worms in the summer. The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters recommends controlling the number of cormorants which Kaufman said eat 70 times more perch than walleye, yet perch numbers have been six times higher since 2006. The more likely reason for the decline in walleye is human exploitation, he said, adding walleye in Lake Nipissing have been overfished since record keeping started in the 1970s. Walleye are reaching 35 centimetres when they're about 2 1/2 years old instead of four years in part because there's less competition for them to feed and grow. Overfishing juvenile walleye limits their early entry into spawning stocks which are at their lowest level in 15 years, Kaufman said. Canadore College has conducted Lake Nipissing projects dating back to the 1970s that haven't been compiled yet, and even data such as the annual ice-off dates recorded since 1901 have a place in this research to better understand the lake, the summit heard. Nipissing University announced during the summit it's offering to host a web portal to keep all this data in one place. Government, universities and colleges are working with smaller budgets, and it makes sense to combine their efforts, said geography professor Dan Walters. He's part of a Lake Nipissing State of the Basin report funded by the university and the province to look at fish stocks as well as temperature, invasive species and chemistry of the lake including phosphorus and toxic blue-green algae. The geography department is also installing a buoy in Callander Bay where these blooms have formed in a separate project to measure temperature and dissolved oxygen at various depths, said Canada Research Chair April James. The summit held at Canadore College ended Friday with a plan to form a committee to continue discussions with the different groups attending the two-day event, and to bring in other interests that weren't represented.

  21. That's funny. I'd love a dedicated fishing boat with a tiller, but since 2 boats are out of the question this was the route for me… for now. And he included the bowmount in the deal. The list is getting longer every day.
  22. New corporate strategy. Put a store in a location that has higher operating/employee costs only miles from an international boarder that would reduce those very same costs.
  23. They won the toughest one. Still a long way, but they come home now and then it's one game, winner goes on. The wings just crapped the bed as I typed this. Two goals in less then a minute. oooopppppsss
  24. 16 ft Princecraft pro series. It's maxed out at 50hp with a Johnson 4stroke. Here are a couple of photos Rizzo sent me:
