  1. Nice little Zoomer, keep the fuel filter clean, you'll be laughing as you pass the pumps.
  2. Check and see if you have a Busy Bee tool shop around your area, they sell complete units or parts. There is a store in London, check this maybe: http://www.busybeetools.com/products/HOSE-PVC-2-1%7B47%7D2IN.-CLEAR.html
  3. For the few I've done, snacks and booze are a personal expense, everyone brings what the want to get sick on. For the rest, I make a rough calculation for bread, butter, eggs, bacon and add a couple dollars to the total cost of the adventure. As for the main supper meals, (ice fishing adventures) I cook up a few LARGE meals that can be reheated on or in the oven. Lac St Jean Tourtiere is the #1 favourite, a great big pot of turkey soup/stew you can stand a fork in or a big pot of chicken and pork ragout with potatoes. If there's any leftovers, 12fotspringbok makes off with the Tourtiere pot, the rest I take back home.
  4. Somehow I can't picture anyone wanting to pollute Mars or Uranus with an Etec.
  5. Quick someone slap a Cabelas sticker on Brians truck otherwise we're going to have some big alligator tears pretty soon. Honestly, Id love to see a Cabelas around Barrie, old racetrack, maybe down Mapleview east, but not around Molson Park, that's a driving nuthouse at the best of times. Imagine how much more I could spend there without having to pay for a lot of gas.
  6. I wouldn't take my worst enemies toys to Hully Gully after some of the horror stories I've heard about that place.
  7. Ahhhh.. Starting to go
  8. Is this your permanent home or cottage style. Additions required building permits and a whole bunch of hoops and loops to jump through. If you haven't done it yet, go see your local municipal office for requirements for a start. Good luck.
  9. Nice video Brian, that little flipper did not want to come ashore.
  10. And who is going to pay my fuel to drive there and back to pick up a parcel, I would estimate at least $40 for that and my time, USPS/CanPost is still cheaper. Fine if you live around the corner scenario, but most of us don't.
  11. Ya, the melt is on, read that 2 ATV's went into the drink, one west of Georgina and another around Pefferlaw, equipment gone but nobody hurt other than ego.
  12. I beg to differ when it comes to using USPS and Canda Post. I've never had a package take that long, the last two came 2-5 days and a whole lot cheaper than those other highway robbers and I didn't have to get a US address.
  13. Honestly, I'd be a bit more tempted to forego the hinge, many $$$$, and use a simpler method such as a 3/16" or 1/4" "sleeve" about 1' long over the existing center tube. 6" goes over the rear tube, 6' stays open, then you can still use the same piece from the cut forward and just use a 1/2" tractor attachment pin to hold it in place. Get home, pull the pin and slide out the front piece.
  14. You can get the switch at West Marine, Cabela's or BPro. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Perko-Dual-Battery-Switch/737961.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dbattery%2Bswitch%26x%3D19%26y%3D8%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=battery+switch&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products
  15. Man if you want to do things against the regulations, go ahead, but I don't think there's any point in trying to advocate the use of attachment in question. This should be put to rest, it's worse than Duceppe and Ignatieff.
  16. Well then the TSSA should send out a flash to retailers and have them pulled from the market. I've never been one to refill the small tanks, in the long run a 5 lber does the job just as well.
  17. A sad day, condolences to you and your family.
  18. For those that poopoo the compass, ya better read the new boating regs. I look over the back of my boat, water is whizzing out of the whizzer hole, I look at my gas tank and see a fuel gauge, I look at my GPS and it tells me how fast I'm going. I look at my oil light and it tells me there's acceptable pressure.
  19. Okay, now where's the rod holder Teach them how to do good hooksets and I'd be interested.
  20. 8 foot fibreglass, go see the guys at Durham Radio, they're in Whitby.
  21. VHF radios along with other types must pass an industry standard to be allowed to be licenced. Most all brands fall well within, some slightly better. Some have more "features" but that doesn't make them a technically better radio. For the few dollars more I would pay the extra for DSC. That's automatic GPS transmission when your butts drinking lakewater and the SS Minnow is sinking.
  22. Ha, you beat me to it, my last monthly bill was $74 of which only $22 was actual use, the remainder was delivery of $34 and then the debt retirement, HST, etc. $34 for delivery eh? The hydro wires are the same ones that have been here for 30 years and still going strong.
  23. I was taking to someone today that drove out, and came back, where exactly, I don't know.
  24. If you feel robbed or don't like the food, FIDO, Fuddle It, Drive On, or don't you control your own life. Bunch of sheep... :devil:
  25. Well, didn't you score big, that's handy, I've still got a 7A one that has to be around 20 years old, date stamp of 32/89, still has enough to power the F/F for a couple days.
