Not much happening right now no ice, ranger put away, looking forward to doing some fishing over christmas or new years if any ice forms have a couple back lakes for eyes and lakers to hit in the new year, what everyone else planning on?

the part of sturgeon lake i live on as froze over and reopened 3 times since dec 6, wide open right now and don't expect any ice making staying around zero with 25-35 k winds by the weekend, may get the canoe out again

16 years working for a michelin dealer. see that number that starts with TPC- tire performance criteria is a number on all general motors factory installed rubber

thats not a winter tire looks like a oem continental for gm minivans like montana or uplander

I applaud the man can't say he is not trying

my z71 seirra with the 4.8 averages between 9-1l/per 100 at 90km/h and 11-12 at 105km/h on steady cruise of course it goes up and down with terrain goes up to 16lt per/100k pulling the ranger steady cruise 90-100km/h of course hit a big hill and it'll spike to 56. overall last year of 50/50 split hwy and city and pulling boat around it's averaged 15.3l per 100k can't really complain about it, i didn't buy a truck for economy

today lindsay was 113.? didn't look pump quit at $110

bass season opener all for it,i am not a biologist but who am i to argue as to the study, that's just one less week I am chasing walleyes. as for the trout reduction why not the ministry is trying to build a self sustaining population and not rely on stocking since the atlantic program is a bust.

terrible and senseless

tsc. if it sold beer and food as well would never shop anywhere else

about 1/2 a tank on a wing and a prayer and didn't see no radar and i w as in my sporty car my truck is governed to 160

food will taste better too, (except for mc d's) going good now rich keep it up

http://youtu.be/53_R0b6xMSA yup next year for sure just waiting to hear about the new direct injected engines

yup mine's ready as well, completely jealous as well. nice ride

thanks for sharing, great fish :thumbsup_anim:

by mid-feb the fish have moved into hay-bay on the south and upto belleville, trenton areas. also areas around napanee just watch the ice use the same stuff you have for nipissing you'll do fine. as for the drive no biggie have made oshawa to picton in a hour zero traffic

can't go wrong with a lund or a smokercraft both built very good you get what you pay for.' as for most of the wide body boats they don't cut rough water very well and tend to pound .

to bad that it's a dying walleye fishery, beautiful big lake great place to fish great sledding in area as well. Really what the natives going to do when all the fish are gone, so much for the great protectors of the enviroment, it'll be the same as quinte when the walleye population crashed there as well, it's the whitemans fault

this is from the farmers almanac, who do you trust

last winter i was drilling holes in sturgeon lake on dec 26 into 3-4 inches of ice. hoping the same this year if not more ice

i never get stuck in my 4x4 with the cold ice and snow coming in it'll be followed by people walking in the door telling me: they only need an alignment after bouncing off the curb and there steering wheel is near upside down

doing good Rich, the OFC support group is here.

http://www.rubberassociation.ca/rubberroom/Winter_Driving.html and craig your only semi correct about winter and snow tires, as long as it has the mountain snowflake it deemed a winter tire. even many high mileage all seasons contain silica in the compounding it's not the only compound that makes it flexible at low temps. the biggest thing when shopping for winter rubber is do you need it more for snow or ice? the ice tires are still good in the snow but have very soft tread with lots of siping i.e x-ice or dunlop graspic ds3 science behind it is more sipes = more traction edges and picks up water off the ice, ice not real slippery until there water on top, so removing the water increases traction (at least that somewhat how a engineer explained it to me at tire testing) Do I think winters should be mandatory? no they do help and can save lives but I think driving with common sense in the winter time would save even more people. for the record I alway use snows on my cars and right now on 3 rd year of michelin xi2 zippo foe wear and it makes the wife's accent a tank On the truck I use goodyear wrangler silent armour all terrain tire it goes through anything no problems and it's only lacking in the ice gripping department works great in snow

you are correct, the mechanical fitness check includes the driver, this is the ruling of the courts when ride program was challenged several years ago

emission testing may sound like a money grab, but a mechanical fitness inspection of vehicles will save lives, already have annual for over 4500 gvwr now, eventually they will lower the weight for annual inspections to cover all vehicles
