It's your money, use it or lose however you want, you mentioned control. Compounding, Compounding, Compounding TFSA's are another tool that people can use. GIC's are brutale, the banks job is to churn your savings as many times as possible, at an interest rate five, six, seven or more percentage points above what they pay you.

It really does make you want to bash your head doesn't it. In some cases there is little you can do but there some things you can. 1. Put the money you "save" all year for the rrsp into the rrsp monthly. Benefits: You start compounding you money immediately not the the end of the year, and you don't have to pay to borrow. 2. GIC's are a horrible product for just about every person in just about every situation. From the interest rate to the tax consequences GIC's are a lose lose, but they are great for the banks.

I think it's more of a relapse... or a result of him going of his meds:whistling: Waders really are a personal thing that you may only be able to decide after spending hours a cold river.

That's 3 and a half feet farther then necessary, but I understand your concern.

Let's see if this works. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPageC?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&appID=163&option=3&template=circular.cfm&catalog=sfc_tor_11_tab&storeID=11&om_rid=CIBQLd&om_mid=_BNcTbNB8ZdQQ4u Edit It worked.

http://www.nugget.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3004753 Betting on a dry spring By BRANDI CRAMER The Nugget Posted March 3rd Recent mild weather and rainfall have reduced the snow depth and water content in the area's snow pack. Public Works and Government Services Canada has responded by starting to close the dams off five to six weeks earlier than normal. "Even though we don't know what will happen in spring with precipitation, we are taking the chance we're not going to have an extremely wet spring," said Phil Hall, Lands and Waters Technical Specialist with the Ministry of Natural Resources. "It's always somewhat of a guessing game as we can't accurately predict long-term weather." Reports from the 13 snow stations in the Sturgeon/Nipissing/French River watershed show the snow pack and its water content is much the same as it was this time last year. And for those who can recall — most people who own a big boat certainly will — Lake Nipissing never did reach its summer navigational level of 195.75 metres above sea level. "Last year, the month of March saw zero precipitation, which is very abnormal," Hall said. As of March 1, Lake Nipissing's level was 10 centimetres above the long-term average which is based on 51 years of data. As well, Lake Nipissing is normally drawn down to 1.3 metres below summer navigational levels by March 15. Not this year. As of Wednesday the lake was 27 centimetres above that level. The Sturgeon/Nipissing/French River Water Management Group agreed Wednesday to hedge their bets on a dryer than normal spring. "However if we start receiving significant precipitation, we will have to rethink our strategy,"Hall said. Even though there are still two-and-a-half months before Lake Nipissing is to be at summer navigational level, the group only counts on snow to fill 25% of Lake Nipissing, and that is if the snow depth and water content in the area's snow pack is at 100%. Of the watershed's 13 snow stations, there is only 50% of the normal water content in the snow based on the long term average of normal for this time of year. Brian Tayler, general manager of the North Bay Mattawa Conservation Authority said snow depth and water content levels varied between North Bay and the outlying areas with below normal levels on Highway 11 and near normal levels in Corbeil. "It will be a normal spring run off with these types of numbers if we get additional rain and snow," Tayler said. "What will really tell is what March brings." When it comes to Lake Nipissing's summer navigational water levels, the group counts "on rain, a whole lot more than the snow melt," Hall said. "The point to make is managing water levels, despite there being dams, is not an exact science because the biggest factor in the equation — rain — is unknown," he said. "We could have a wet spring, dry spring . . . if anyone knows for sure, give me a call." [email protected]

Just dropped my two reels off this afternoon. When they are ready I'll also make a stop at Mariposa bakery.

Welcome to the current century. Many people would put a spoiler tag in the tittle so as to allow someone the choice of finding out the outcome of the game before they were ready. The option would be potentially less traffic for this site. I use the ability to pause live tv to avoid all commercials, as well as between period discussions by people with zero intelligence and who can't get/keep a job in hockey. I was about 5 minutes behind in the game. Don't worry though, I'll be sure not to spoil the up coming the episode of young and the restless.

I'm sure you have.

Avid?

Ever heard of pvr???

Resisting the temptation that Wayne was unable to. There is a guy in Orillia that does rods and reels (biting tongue). Rocky or Rockys, I haven't used him yet but I'm taking too oldish Abus up there and see if he can put some life in them.

He has a couple of new ones in mind. I'm just checking for some used options to get a little more rod for less money.

$200 neighbourhood maybe, but really depends on the rod and the condition.

The daily specials are on line now (they weren't last night) make sure you're looking at the Canadian deals.

I don't think they are on the website yet, but the flyer that some of us have received in the mail does have them.

I'll second the theory of spending a bit more on the reel in a baitcast set-up than the rod. A good reel can be had for around a $100 and can last long enough for you to upgrade the rod later. If the reel is not "good" (I don't know if the one in question is or not) you might not ever like using it.

Those guys are .... never mind. Thanks, I'll mention that to him.

My brother is looking for a float rod. Figure maybe 12-13 foot 2 piece. Barrie area. Lots of subjective elements that only he can decide in the end but I thought I'd check here.

Radioworld would be able to help you. You can email them your questions as well.

That does say a lot about you. Note to self: Hide my live target lures from Gord during our September fishing trip.

Never mind.

That's great news.

The ugly stick line still applies... and rhymes.
