Excellent reminder Lew, I'm sure everyone can wait another week for the ice to harden up a bit more, heck, cut down the stuff on the "Honey Do" list first, 'cause without a "Honey" not much will get done if you don't come home again. Accidents happen and those are situations where even when everything is done right, results in something bad. Sheer stupidity on the other hand must be part of some peoples genetics.

Uh oh, that would be bad news, have to check next time I go by there and let you know.

Never mind how thick the ice is, how big are the guys? 7-8" inches, as long as you're not doing a "Lew" snowdance, go for it.

Heck, next time just go to their repair shop, Matheson Dr in Mississasage, good bunch of guys there will help you out.

What's the box look like, something like an AM/FM radio from a car? If so you can get "project boxes that would hold the receiver and a couple of speakers and a small rechargeable battery with a "Y" connector to also plug it into a 12V cigarette lighter/power source on the boat. Red or positive wire gets the fuse, theother to negative. Sometimes there's 2 positive, one is main power, the other is memory, they can be tagged together. I don't know how good the reception will be in the hut, is there an antenna that needs clear sky view?

If the motor has the spot for the electric starter, remove the little side plate and see if the flywheel has the toothed ring on it, if so, it's an easy install. If not, maybe not worth the effort.

I would suggest you make it in the shape of an elongated "A", reason being, when you make sharp turns, the bars won't catch on the rear wheels of an ATV or skidoo track. I would go at least 4' long, use lynch pins for quick disconnect.

Ah Bull, That's why Toro costs so much, they have to support the dealer network. But then again, you can buy Toro at HD and I don't see a lineup of mechanics there.

Go take a look at ARIENS, they have been making snowblowers for a looong time, mines an old 7hp/24", 40 years old, yes 40. 2 mufflers, 2 belts and a tire tube.

Heck, just keep him busy, cut the snow shovel in half, he should be pretty much burned out by bedtime, no hanky or panky left in him.

Why?

A two track sled...Elite?

That might be you if you get the guy nexzt to you "wet"

I applaud her husband for making an informed intelligent decision, especially when travel has been indicated as not advisable

Just like any other expanding city, everythig expands with it, traffic jams, potholes, crime, except the fish, they don't get any bigger. Like a couple others said, Innisfil, Thornton, just on the outskirts, but close enough.

There is this "rule" called the 100' rule, if you go down 10', it should be 90' behind the ball, down 30', 70' behind the ball, 90' down, 10' back, etc. For me, all depends on how rough it is, the rougher, the shorter the lead I use.

Dirt in/dirty carburator, if you are mechanically inclined, you can get basic rebuild kits from a small engine shop in your area. You will need to know the engine model and serial number to get the right kit. You may have a tiny bit of crud in the carb that will clog the jet once it's running, when it stalls, it drop back into the bottom of the bowl.

Mid grade is on at PetroCan for $1.09 a litre, gives me about the same effect.

I think she said up around Bancroft somewhere. And then the little tart is riding with NO helmet on the skidoo.

Well in that case, you better give that Mayor of Essa Township a call, costs $20 to fish the Notty in certain areas around Angus.

Don't know about others plans, I've been paying 26.01c per cubic metre on the pay as you go plan, no contract.

Oh boy, this can be taken a few different ways in thought, the Pope is gonna be howling because you're limiting reproduction, the self righteous are gonna howl because it's their "right" to procreate, then there's the twits that haven't heard about the pill and can't figure out why they keep poppin out kids. I do believe it's getting to the point that the world is coming to it's limit of sustainable habitation. Nature does it in a different way, when critters run out of food, the population naturally drops, we just keep crankin out more fertilizer and grow bigger beans and sending food to overpopulated countries that can't support themselves.

From what I heard, Kaufmann moved to the USA about 10 years ago or so. You can still get them... http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...&id=0006153

Okay, I'll buy that, wasn't quite sure how much those diodes were capable of blocking.

Had then now for about 12 years, still hot. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...&id=0006153
