welcome to the board Hedfish! Ohhh and Bill you really need a Girl Friend!!! She'll make sure you are not here 50% of your free time. But then you'll be poorer... it is a lose/lose. Gerrit.

I have a neighbour selling his.. I think it is either an 16 or 18' coleman... he wants 500.00 for it.. it is hardly used and has just been there taking up space... Gerritt.

ok who hid the chip dip??. Gerritt.

I have to agree.... A huge improvement! Awesome job guys! and Thanks IP.Boards for moving us! Gerritt.

While I missed the post... glad I did, there seems to be quite a few posts recently that have a heavy racial undertone to them. Good job on cleaning it up fellas... perhaps this will pose as a lesson that there are consequences to your actions. So to those few that feel the need to make racist comments in threads heed this as your warning. Good job guys, Gerritt.

Sounds like a time for a rewire... I know Princess Auto has their kit on sale for 19.00 Hope you can get this figured out I would have also thought bad ground. Gerritt.

I drive the 407 daily both to and from work from the beginning @ the 403 to Jane st. (Just after the 400) it is decent regardless of the time.. sure it does bottle neck a bit during rush hour but that is because there is a ton of construction happening on the 407. (They are adding new lanes) That being said I would take the 407 over the QEW or 401 any day of the week! Gerritt

Dutch, the CDN government sold off its part of Petro Canada a couple years ago... but you are correct, they wont look into it because of the billions they are making... the higher the gas price the more tax dollars they receive... why would our government shoot themselves in the foot like that? Right now we are sitting on billions in surpluses, Surpluses us as Canadians created. Think we get a break on anything? That is OUR collective money OUR government is sitting on, While we pay and pay and pay more and more and you know what.. We put up with it. Because that is what we as Canadians do.... We put up with things. We dont get upset or passionate or hell even demonstrate, (Unless it is hockey then all bets are off) Seriously though we are more Passionate about Hockey then how our country is ran... it is a pity.. The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over expecting a different result. Until us as Canadians stand up and shout we will not take it more this will continue. If a takes our government to be overthrown and reformed then so be it. I for one love my country, however I have a severe dislike for the snakes that run it. When you and I are taxed @ over 50% of our wage and inflation is constantly climbing meaning even more money in Government coffers how long do you think this can last before a complete collapse of our economy? There is talk about raising Minimum Wage to 10.00.... Great you think if you are a minimum wage earner.... But what do you think is going to happen to the businesses that have to hire these people @ $10.00 raise prices to make up for it? That Tim Hortons coffee is now going to cost you $3.00 a cup. It is a never ending cycle The middle class is disappearing The amount of people below the poverty line has increased significantly as has the amount of "wealthy" people meaning we are getting poorer and poorer... in some cases richer.. but the amount of increase in people below the poverty line has far outweighed the amount of "rich" people... 10 years ago we never heard of "The working Poor".... today it is the latest catch phase... Sorry for the rant... give me a call when we decide to overthrow the government and name Canadave our new Federal leader! I will be first in line. Gerritt.

Ohhh shiz... Happy Birthday brother! Gerritt

it is because his plumbing works that he has lived to be that old!... might be he little blue pills too... I dunno. I hear something rattling when he jogs along. Gerritt.

Uhmmm I think the Title of his report will answer that Tom. Have another one Gerritt. Nice report BTW!

Power outage shuts Imperial Oil's Nanticoke refinery DAVID EBNER Globe and Mail Update May 11, 2007 at 4:16 PM EDT CALGARY — — A major Ontario oil refinery will be out of business for several days, possibly pushing up gasoline prices in an already tight market for the commodity. Nanticoke, on the shores of Lake Erie south of Hamilton, shut down Friday morning after a power outage sparked an automatic cycle to stop the facility from operating. The cause is unknown and no one was hurt but Nanticoke won't be fully operational again until next week. The refinery, owned by Imperial Oil Ltd [iMO-T], supplies roughly 20 per cent of Ontario's gasoline. It is “too early” to know if the outage will affect gas supply, said Pius Rolheiser, an Imperial spokesman. The refinery will restart in stages, meaning some gasoline will be produced before the full facility is running. The power outage is the second big problem for Nanticoke this year. In February, part of the refinery was shut down after a fire, forcing some gas stations to close and pushing prices higher. Friday morning's outage occurs at a time when gasoline prices have been jumping higher, almost daily. Industry asserts prices typically rise in May ahead of the summer, the busiest time of year for driving, a jump in demand while supplies of gasoline remain relatively static. Gas prices spiked higher in the first week of May, causing widespread concern—but according to consultant MJ Ervin & Associates, the national price of gas was $1.08 a litre on Tuesday, down 2 cents from a week earlier, with the price in Toronto at $1.02, down 6 cents. On Friday, www.torontogasprices.com reported that gasoline was $1.07 a litre, up from $1.04 on Thursday. Some market commentators said gasoline could surge to a new record this summer—meaning it would have to eclipse the $1.26 record set after Hurricane Katrina in September, 2005—but others such as Cathy Hay of MJ Ervin say there are no indications that point to such a surge. High gas prices have sparked a debate about whether oil companies are charging unfair rates. On Thursday, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives claimed in a study that Canadians have been “paying too much for gas for nearly two years.” The study suggested prices have exceeded “levels that would be justified on the basis of costs and normal profit margins,” calculating that drivers in Toronto are currently being overcharged by 15 cents a litre. The Canadian Petroleum Products Institute, a lobby group for the gasoline industry, shot back by saying it “categorically rejected” the policy alternatives report. The institute said the study was “simplistic” and ignored “market realities.” Get ready to be shafted! Gerritt.

FOTB, the link to the NGL trout seems just fine here and I clear my cache daily. It it hosted by OFC I will move to PhotoBucket over the next little bit. Gerritt.

Darcy mind if I ask you what GeoTech you work for? the company I work uses a couple different ones... perhaps we have talked on the phone! lol Gerritt.

OK nevermind..... Gerritt.

There is a simple answer to this.... Rick... how many unique page views do we get a month...... and how many are Members.. I bet a loonie... no 100 Loonies that non-members outweigh members by at least 50-1 so we have 50 non members taking info... how many of them register? 1 in 50 perhaps? a community is just that people that talk and share.... not leech an leave. Hate to be the thorn... but this is my opinion. Gerritt.
