Mr.Topwater!

This lure was called the "Krinkler". It came in at least 2 sizes. We used them for years, fishing Lakers in canoes. All four guys had at least one .

Hey everyone. Anyone know where I can find the skit "Il returno de Hercules", hilarious skit with Murray as an extremely out-of-shape Hercules. I've been trying to find this for years. Help!

Hey everybody. I'm buying my first boat (new). Does the dealer usually do the licensing stuff for the buyer? Thanks. T.

Thanks for the advice. Here's the thing- we have hundreds of dragonflies on our property. Unfortunately, we have thousands of deerflies. I think this heat wave will kill off a lot of the little @#*%s.

Well, after trying every eye of newt concoction on my little Lab, I have found something that does help. It's............. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR! One part water, one part ACV. Spray all over and saturate tips of ears and base of tail(they go for highest point). You have to reapply every 15 min. or so, but it's better than a kick in the bum(with a frozen boot). At least she can run and play for stretches without the vile things on her. P.S. It has to be raw, unpasteurized and contain "mother of vinegar". Try it, T.

Deet does not work on the savages. Keeping the dog away from them is out(we live where the deerflies live). Dynamite might work, but might be detrimental to her also. The effective deer fly repellent has yet to be invented. Written from my screened-in porch sanctuary.

Hi everyone. Does anyone know of a repellent(safe) to use on dogs. I read that certain essential oils help. Has anyone tried them. My little Lab is bombarded with them when we go out. I carry an evergreen branch to "sweep" them off her. I literally have to pluck the little my mom hates me off her belly. I loathe them. HELP!!!!

I am now armed with knowledge. Now I can get back to retirement mode. This site is a godsend for info and advice. Thanks all!!

It's very sad. A daily shooting. It's almost a competition. Who's the next coward to shoot down Innocents?

Warm, dry boots. First and foremost. Cold feet make for a lousy day!!!

Hi everyone. Last year we ran out of propane mid winter. Also once this year. We inquired about a second tank. They said "we don't need one". Do they have to put another one in if we demand it? I realize we will have to pay for it. Anyone hip on this subject? The company is Woods fuels in Frontenac County. Thanks!!

Hi there. Bought a 5 ton electric log splitter from Princess Auto. Worked very well BUT, there is a "bleeder screw" that has to be loosened (which I didn't do) . Wrecked the hydraulics. I ordered another. On sale for $229(reg. $399). Don't make the same mistake I did.

Hi, everyone. I just bought my first ATV, never driven before. Mainly use for chores and a little off road. Any advice to ease into it before I become accustomed to driving it? Let's hear from you veterans. Thanks!

Howdy. Anybody know of Central air installers for rural Eastern Ontario.,specifically Arden area. We'd like to get it done as soon as possible to avoid rush. Recommend? Thanks.

Hi all. I just moved to Land o' Lakes region. After exhausting all options for internet, it left dial-up and Xplornet. I resignedly chose the latter. So far, so good. I'm very pleasantly surprised at the reliability ,even during last nite's wind and snow. Now I live in beautiful country with good fishing and the 'net, to boot! Ah, sweet retirement.

Hey all. My wife and I are moving up to Big Gull area (retired), and I'm looking to meet up with some of locals to ice fish and chew the fat with. I have all my own stuff. I'm not looking to learn all your "spots" (we all have them), just areas in general. I fish for anything that swims. I'm not sure how I would leave my email on the site. Anybody who knows how that works and will share a little knowledge, drop me a line. Thanks,T.

Hey all. Moving to rural eastern Ont. We do not have dsl internet as an option. I 've read only bad things about Xplornet. There is also "Storm". anybody here use them? Is it significantly better than Bell satellite? I've never liked Bell's way of doing business, but I might have to bite the bullet. Anybody know of any other options? Any and all input appreciated.

Hi. Anybody know what the internet, tv is like in rural areas of central Frontenac county? Is it strictly satellite? Any packages and companies to recommend? Another item to cross off the to-do list. Man, this moving stuff is stressing me out. One more month and I can get back to retirement! Thanks for any tips. M.T.

Hey all. My wife and I are moving to Big Gull Lake area in Nov. We bought a modest 5 room house on 2 acres of quiet land. I know some of these local lakes are heavily fished in the summer. Any recommendations for the more isolated lakes for lakers and or big bass? Thanks, M.T.

Hi. This may seem like a stupid question. Is it possible to share a flue between a wood burning stove and a propane furnace? Is it safe and legal? We're moving to Land o' Lakes area in December (Arden area) .Any recommends for wood stoves and installations in area. Also, good places to buy firewood? Thanks, all.

I think I'm gonna leave it for the pros. Done safe and clean. I'm moving up around Eganville and I'd rather not worry about something I know nothing about. Less time to think about wetting a line!

Hello. Anybody know cost of removing oil tank from basement? Any recommendations? Thanks, Mr.Topwater!. P.S. I'm in Kitchener.

Happy Canada Day, eh. Just bought trekking axe. It comes with a blade guard, but it's loose and kinda cheesy. Anybody make leather sheaths for a hobby? If so, can I get one for $30 or so? I'm in Kitchener. Thanks,eh.

I've been away for a while. What's the story with BP? I try to access them online and I get "Internal Server Error". Am I doing something wrong or is it at their end? Thanks ahead of time. Mr.Topwater!

Howdy. Anybody know what kind of pin I should use to connect engine to auger. This bolt and hex wrench sucks, especially with frozen fingers. Also, can I buy one at C Tire, Princess Auto? Thanks.
