Like usual, go to Princess Auto on Dixie, they have a variety to cover all the different weight capacities, remember you have to add your weight to the machine while loading/unloading, and they come with the saftey straps or chains. Oh, and not to forget, as much as some people will argue otherwise, tailgate cables are ment to hold the tailgate, not ATV's with a rider. Best to use your trailer

Dan, kindly read again, I made no inference to the people involved, rather the comment from the newspaper " Police are continuing to investigate what caused the van to wind up on the lake". Sorry if you took it the wrong way.

Unless the lake is right beside the road and the driver maybe lost control, I would think the main reason the van wound up on the lake was the driver, don't ya think.

Well by gawd it is a 2 stroke, didn't think Ariens would fool around with 2 stroke stuff, almost looks like a rebadged Toro.

2 cycle...I doubt that, unless your buddy has thrown the manuals and warranty papers away, it will give a list of all the repair facilities. "Seized the motor", that's why they have a dipstick.

and I'd like to find an easy way of feeding a couple yards of weedwacker line into the impellor intake ....injest a bit of that...and see how fast ya go.

Ya, a smelt, way back about 20+ years ago, it was quite common to catch 12 inch smelt around Lefroy, a dozen of them fried in butter with a beer would result in a mighty BUUUUUURRRRRRP! Hard to find them that size on Simcoe now.

Well Barnie, if you're happy with momo like a lot of people still are, there nothing wrong with 8lb Trilene XL, MAXX or Sensation. I'm not a fan of braids either.

Somebody should move to Abbotsford, BC.

Don't forget the paper towels and a radio/light for the ice hut. Forgot to mention last time, Satellite TV, but no spanky channels, only religious ones Have a good trip.

Hmmm, what Clamp-it said. Walleye, mostly found around Talbot area in the spring, Crappie, they go south for the winter and show up when the ice melts in little marinas and harbours.

Level 10 358,000, jeez who rearranged the map and added all those countries, they weren't there when I went to school.

Well I'll not be greedy, you can keep all of it below highway 7.

No fish, just gravel pits, although there are some whales in there in the summer.

Some days you get a dozen or so jumbos=good for a meal, other days you catch a bunch of little Johnsons, just like gambling.

...but they still have that distictive 2 stroke stink that'll make ya gag going downwind. No thanks. And, if they were that good, I'm sure somebody would try putting an etec engine in a car.

No, not me, I was just surmizing that at the sale price it may have been made across the pond. Amazing to find something made here.

I did the BPS trip to Auburn Hills in September, definitely not impressed with the employees for one, dressed like they just got off the tractor and attitudes to go with it. I found Cabelas much better. (And there's nothing wrong with farmers on tractors)

Just for chits & giggles, look on the mfgr tag, where is the suit made?

Animals and the things they do, pretty good.

That as best as I recall is that little round piece of whatever the bible thumper gives you in church after you commited sins, actually"hostie" I think they're cheap, should give out candies instead.

After reading this, got a little nervous about using the 10% ethanol in my Honda. Checked the owners manual(1996), it already allowed for use up to 10% ethanol in the gas with no worry. One less headache.

Emil, give me some time I'll find the better ones made by "Marinco", well worth it, no corrosion. I think they are available in Newmarket http://www.marinco.com/scpt/ProdPage.php?l...20Shore%20Power

We brought sleeping bags although full bedding was provided. A small portable radio for the ice hut, PAPER TOWEL, tea towel for drying dishes, your own towel and wash kit, or, bring paper plates and plastic kfs. Other than that, everything was there. One more thing, a small lantern or flashlight for in the hut early morning/evening gets pretty dark in there.
