Fisherman

I would be in favour of a seasonal winter pass, say $50-60, something that can be left on the dash/window of the vehicle, this would allow early access if they don't have "pay as you go machines" like they do in some other parks. As for the requirement to plow the lots, can't really point fingers there, a couple of times it was so bad, it was near impossible to "find" the parking lots for the amount of snow. Turf damage, probably from those that go bee lining from the parking lots directly out to the ice, low end IQ I guess. Then they should also ding those that park willy nilly along both sides of the roadways in the park beside the skating rinks, couple of times it was so bad you could barely get through the main route. I could almost hear banjos playing in the background.

Curiosity got me, went and checked my Scout manual, it says, use a patch cord with RCA plugs at each end, one goes into your Sony camcorder "in" jack, the other end into the Aqua Vu video "out". These patch cords are the same as you use to hook up any type of the older Stereo/TV components, cost next to nothing. Like these: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.js...oductId=2103856

Very nicely stated.

That's why they have www.411Canada.ca on the net.

Look up to the right..see SEARCH..type "winterizing" in there, there's oodles of info and you have to read it, on this page or the others, cause be dammed if I'm reading it out loud to ya.

Good one, but I suppose you're running around with a heavy duty UNUSED Musky rod now

If I had to listen to that, I'd give up fishing.

For cleanliness and customer service,(actually having some staff around when you need help), Lowes by a long shot, HD is getting to be more help yourself and good luck finding it. Rona is not bad, all three are resonably close for price. I have my own truck so delivery isn't a problem.

87% average, pat yourself on the back, as you can see the effort pays off in the long run, keep it up.

I called their 1-800 number, bought direct from the factory in the US and paid the shipping rather than to buy from the dealers in Northern Ontario who were a bid more than greedy. There is one place somewhere around Toronto, another distribution center, however I could never connect with them on the phone.

I have the Medium Ice Cabin, 2 person, only I didn't get the bench seat or 2 swivel singles, I'm going to make something for this winter instead of folding beach chairs. The sled is made of thick poly, hardly any flex, the top material is pretty thick too, sewn in attachment goes all the way around and simply snaps on, no screwing needed, the superstructure is made of square poles, they expand and collapse without problems. I see the info sheet says 90lbs, maybe a mistake or I'm getting stronger(highly doubt it). Get the extra runners, they take up a lot of road wear, got mine at BPS for about $35, they should last 2-3 winters. I made my own tow bar, I have my MIG for that. So far, no complaints compared to that Pile of Bovine Excrement from Frabil the year before. It's long enough to accomodate the Jiffy auger. Unless you have someone with seamstress qualifications, maybe get the custom cover too, keeps your kit in and snowbanks out.

Oh the great mentality of beating up and wrecking inanimate objects that can't defend themselves from a no mind. Keep your critters on a leash when the situation demands it, maybe some people too. There are rules, all ya have to do is read and heed.

Gotta keep up with the Jones I used my old X-40 for many years on ice, the Showdown (Aqua vu) just takes up less space.

Looks like I have the short version, tracks and soft top are in the garage.

You do have a valid point with the cheap reels, we all go to the store and try them out in the store at +20C and when we go to use them at -10, the inner workings are stiffer than molasses. Open up the reel and replace the grease with some NLGI #1 or #0 grease, much smoother. Then the next is the drag, works good in the store, throw the reel in the freezer for an hour and see the difference.

What Shore Lunch said, sometimes the bells and whistles are ringing for you to pay attention and run. Looks good, but when the cooktop gets to 175 degrees when the upper oven is on can't be good or safe.

If I ever trap the Pink Bunny, I'm sending him on a mission, play drumsticks on TJ while he's running around the woods doing a torture test on BPS socks.

If you're dancing up a storm, just keep it up, the less I have to shovel the happier my back is.

It can be brutally slow at times and still the damm double click to back up that only seems to be on this site, even with the "good" computer at work.

Looks like ya had a nice trip, good weather and some nice fish.

Sobeys has them in the frozen fish section

Maybe a fuse blown or pinched some wires when parts got too close together.

She may last a few days or more, if any longer then winter will undoubtedly deal her the blow and she will become crow and coyote food. Where I work out in the Borden Ranges I would sure like to know deer reasoning for crossing the road when they are perfectly safe where they are in the first place, but NOoooo, they just have to run across the road every time they see ya coming. Stop 3 feet off the road, look over their shoulder and don't move again.

Did she slap it or kick it ..As long as she's all right, that's what counts, a wrinkle in the sheetmetal is like a pimple on your ass,
