  1. I will be in Montreal Tues - Thursday. Any suggestions as to what to do in the evening? The arts in Montreal are very good apparently, and I am not intrested in the "ballet" on St Catherine Street. Good resturants, coffee houses and the like are what I am looking for.
  2. wELL, THAT KILLS THE TREAD....HA!
  3. A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. "They use him to keep crowds back," said one child. "No," said another. "He's just for good luck." A third child brought the argument to a close.... "They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants."
  4. The yolks on me specificly my face
  5. Whitehorse! I meant Whitehorse.....
  6. How about I pick you up next week, I'll be passin through...

  9. I have to WHAT!????
  10. Make that 2 Perhaps a flood of emails regarding this issue might help them shake thier heads out of stupid.
  11. Go there, get a ticket and fight it in court. There has to be a charter violation in that bylaw somewhere.
  12. Whomever is closest to the 401
  13. Not to Bly on the spot but if we raise >$1500.00 it deserves a video posting IMHO. (Ya, I'm putting Bly on the spot)
  14. Regardless of what the kids were doing before the slip under the saftey bar, for two adults to sit and watch and NOT help is unfathomable!
  15. I'm headed out to Quebec soon, can grab it on the way back, depending on size...
  16. These are tear offs from older boats that a reputable dealer has in his shop as surplus. By all appearences they do not appear to be abused, just broken. That is why I am thinking of making one from the two, I will have many spare parts provided I get the two best ones that he has. Thanks for the feedback! It has given me food for thought.
  17. I have an opportunity to buy two minn kotta 74 pound thrust maxxum motors. One the variable speed does not work, the other needs a stator or brushes. Is it difficult to make one from the two? The cost for these would be ~$300. What do you guys think?
  18. Aviators only..... Flying is a hard way to earn an easy living. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the airplane, the pessimist, the parachute. If helicopters are so safe, how come there are no vintage helicopter fly-ins? Death is just nature's way of telling you to watch your airspeed. Real planes use only a single stick to fly. This is why bulldozers & helicopters -- in that order -- need two. Co-Pilot rules: 1) Don’t touch anything 2) Shut Up There are only three things the co-pilot should ever say: 1. Nice landing, Sir. 2. I'll buy the first round. 3. I'll take the fat one. As a pilot only two bad things can happen to you and one of them will. a. One day you will walk out to the aircraft knowing that it is your last flight. b. One day you will walk out to the aircraft not knowing that it is your last flight. There are Rules and there are Laws. The Rules are made by men who think that they know better how to fly your airplane than you. Laws (of Physics) were ordained by nature. You can, and sometimes should, suspend the Rules but you can never suspend the Laws. About Rules: a. The rules are a good place to hide if you don't have a better idea and the talent to execute it. b. If you deviate from a rule, it must be a flawless performance.. (e.g.., If you fly under a bridge, don't hit the bridge.) The ideal pilot is the perfect blend of discipline and aggressiveness. The medical profession is the natural enemy of the aviation profession.. Ever notice that the only experts who decree that the age of the pilot is over are people who have never flown anything? Also, in spite of the intensity of their feelings that the pilot's day is over I know of no expert who has volunteered to be a passenger in a non-piloted aircraft. Before each flight, make sure that your bladder is empty and your fuel tanks are full! He who demands everything that his aircraft can give him is a pilot; he that demands one iota more is a fool. There are certain aircraft sounds that can only be heard at night [and bad weather]. The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits. Flying is a great way of life for men who want to feel like boys, but not for those who still are. "If the Wright brothers were alive today, Wilbur would have to fire Orville to reduce costs." President, DELTA Airlines. “If the airplane were to be invented today – they should shoot it down” – Warren Buffet In the Alaska bush I'd rather have a two hour bladder and three hours of gas than vice versa. It's not that all airplane pilots are good-looking. Just that good-looking people seem more capable of flying airplanes. An old pilot is one who can remember when flying was dangerous and sex was safe. Airlines have really changed, now a flight attendant can get a pilot pregnant. I've flown in both pilot seats, can someone tell me why the other one is always occupied by an idiot? Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot.. You can't do both. There are only two types of aircraft -- fighters and targets. The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline baggage. You define a good flight by negatives: you didn't get hijacked, you didn't crash, you didn't throw up, you weren't late, you weren't nauseated by the food. So you're grateful. They invented wheelbarrows to teach FAA inspectors to walk on their hind legs. The FAA Motto: We're not happy till you're not happy. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
  19. Hey, you were good enough to ask.
  20. Read and acknowledged report.
  21. I would suggest looking at a abouriculture or forestry supplier, they may have what you need.
  22. One thing to bear in mind that if one refuses to pay for a meal, quite often the server is stuck with the bill. IE: Dine and dash. As well, if you send it back to the kitchen, it most likely will get messed with. The worst experience I had was a business dinner where we had exceptional service and exceptional food, (we were a party of 9 with a bill of $1200.00) and a boor at our table who slipped the server a c-note and his hotel room key as we were leaving. He boasted about it on the way back to the hotel, and it was all I could do to not deck him.
  23. I am shocked....
