  1. While watching your video I had a similar feeling when standing on the glass floor at the CN tower. Freaky.
  2. Anybody know what it is? It has 5 or 6 "silo like" tubes facing the hwy.
  3. Look again guys. As the "loops" are brought closer together the tips spread apart. The "ratchet" part is the perpendicular piece near the loops. My brother used to have a pair.
  4. What else...Stir up poop on the net.
  5. Lawrence of Arabia to pink fuzzy hats, Pete sure is on the cutting edge of fashion.
  6. Wrassler Wrassling commentator "actor" in action movies politician All based primarily on deception and a complete abandonment of reality, why would this be any different.
  7. Funny I never thought of him as the photogenic type. Be well.
  8. Did he look surprised....for about 4 weeks???
  9. Ya but what's the icefishin' like there Art?
  10. "Starting over is costly" No arguments here... although maintenance isn't cheap either.
  11. The numbers do appear to be increasing. We may have a sustainable fishery in the future.
  12. I wish I had WFN, I guess I wait until the weekend... please don't tell me the score.
  13. NY state's population is about twice as much as Ontario. That bigger tax base is used on a land mass that is a small fraction of Ontario. I am all for doing more for the environment (see my post above) but its hard to make an apples to big apples comparison sometimes.
  14. All levels of government, and flavours, do not put enough emphasize on the environment. Some of the reasons for this are: The difficultly in quantifying and qualifying the value of return on investment. The length of time, and money, needed to properly observe and evaluate the results of environmentally initiatives, or the lack of. And our general lack of interest in paying for it via taxes, user fees, pulling tax $ from elsewhere, etc. Even if the environment is a priority for one flavour can't be properly managed on 3, 4 or 5 year mandates. It needs to be near the top of the list, ALL the time and for every flavour of government. The quotes goes: In a democracy you always get the government you deserve. The voters (that's us) need to make our feelings known, and then hold the governments responsible.
  15. Where do i get one of those talkin' lures??? Thanks for taking the time.
  16. I got out for a few hours on Monday, only landed one fish (large mouth, no photo). Now I'm off again on Wednesday, heading to south Simcoe this time. All those new lures better work.
  17. I swear, I saw the guy's lips move when the lady was talkin'.
  18. I knew it was coming (just not this soon). First I heard about this was today. I guess I don't read enough newspapers and internet news. !0 digit dialling starts January 15th for 705 area code. http://www.region450.com/en-CA/concerned-regions-705.html
  19. I guess the Tre Kronor coach was right... too bad, I would have liked the rematch... now I hope Canada doesn't get it.
  20. Maybe you could head out before me with your new toy and drag a heavy blanket soaked with warm water???
  21. Local news just showed some guys on Kempenfelt bay in a big Lund. I'm hitting the hard stuff, it's been a long time since I took the canoe out in January... and the main reason I stopped doing that was the road salt on the ash gunwales and what pain it was to clean them in the winter.
  22. Forget the cleats, I may pack the skates.
  23. Thanks guys. That is what I figured, but didn't want to waste a morning trip to have to turn around. I have a unplanned Monday off and hope I can get out for a few hours at least.
