AKRISONER

Benched again today...matty and Marner = magic 5 In a row the toilet seats can’t catch em now!

Every time I’ve used a sump pump I end up getting shale ice...any ideas? Maybe it’s just too cold when I’ve tried it causing the ice to not freeze nicely? My solution has been the extremely labour intense process of hauling buckets of hot water down to the lake and pre filling in the cracks that form with snow. Then running around with a puck and packing slush into the ruts. It at least patched up the bad areas and cracks but I’ve never had luck straight up flooding the ice? Maybe I need more/less water? any ideal temperature? Tips? I plan on making a rink on Thursday

Can’t say I agree about it being a crap shoot, My immediate family and myself have been burned by each of the domestic manufacturers now. My father was a ford man through and through until the 90’s when he gave up on them. He even gave them another chance and bought a escape for my mom and it’s been stupid as well. Countless recalls and stupid stuff breaking. my truck is a lemon...just straight up...I could make a list of all of the problems I’ve had and the truck has less than 100,000k on it. It’s a joke. my favourite part is that in the winter I have to drive with my windows open because my truck dumps exhaust into the cab. I took it in three times under warranty and it was never fixed. I literally have to turn my heat off at stop lights to avoid being choked out Ford and GM my interactions with their head offices through my work seems to hint at the problems and attitude being systemic in both of them. Go figure the attitude is shared by both companies. ive talked about it at length, from outboards, snowmobiles, quads and cars now, the Japanese manufactures just do the job right. My family isnt even loyal to one particular one! at this moment we have 4 outboards ones a Honda two are Yamahas and ones a suzuki! it can’t just be coincidence that between 4 outboards , two quads, and 4 different vehicles from Honda, Nissan and Mazda we’ve never had an unexpected problem or stupid annoyance with any of them...good riddance to GM. I’m sure their quality is bound to improve even more when they hire more cheap Mexican labour. im sorry to anyone that’s worked for them, they have done you dirty and it’s not surprising. i already know I’m bound to catch flack from the GM or Ford guys on the forum saying “I love my Chevy, dodge, ford, Mercury, BRP” etc etc you bet, like clockwork my rotax 600 blew up with 500km on it. Thank god it was under warranty. brother owned a Chevy cobalt, and a loose bolt went through a cylinder and ended up in his oil pan at 13,000km maybe it’s just bad luck...but It just can’t be coincidence anymore when 10 times in a row the domestics break, and then 10 times in a row the japanese have 0 problems. Fool me once shame on you fool me 10 times shame on me!

Those bailouts came with the assumption that it’d be paid off by keeping Canadians employed and paying taxes...instead they took our money and shipped it off to Mexico.

4-4.5 inches of solid black ice. Not too much snow. You should be good to go walking. Supposed to be a bit warm for a couple of days here so be careful in areas with potential inflow from melt off

You are going to be taken care of me thinks...no cause? No warning...they are gonna hurt for that one

Absolutely, survival suit plus life jacket plus spud and picks...please note that whatever I am measuring is a spot that is known for generally always having safe ice. I won’t be venturing anywhere that I typically go later in the season. I’ll be staying close to home.

I think uncle leo’s time in the NHL is limited. Another set of buy outs becomes available soon. I think he is going to get one. by the way I think I remember someone here claiming that the leafs need more Komorov types on the leafs...his stat line tells the story Thank god lou was already gone so Toronto didn’t eat that contract

I will be on the ice tomorrow afternoon and will provide you with an official measurement from pointe au baril

Literal statistical proof of nhl player safety’s garbage job you can click on the tweet he goes into even further detail

very very cold for the next couple of days, you guys will be good to go for walking by christmas. its currently -16 up there right now supposed to be -24 tonight. That will help a lot.

Dont forget the totally phantom call on Tavares as well that cost them one of their other goals as well. Two total phantom calls against the leafs but absolutely nothing for that hit...sounds about par for the course when it comes to the leafs and the NHL Anyone remember Game 2 of the boston series last year? I was listneing to Bowen while down fishing in south carolina on lake marion and was concerned for Bowens health he was so upset about what the officials were doing what almost seemed intentionally to the leafs. A partocular high stick that had one of the leafs just gushing blood with no call what so ever stands out. They can, and they did...and they apparently said that theres nothing wrong with it. But Kerfoots a few games back, that definitely deserved two games.

Dan is literally building a Home made tank...where are you looking to source the turret cannon dan?

I had a feeling that this might happen, but ya... Leafs now 8-4 under Keefe with their next two games against garbage teams! GO LEAFS GO

i call that the georgian bay special

a bannana suit for fishing seems like a bad omen anyways probably better you got rid of it 😂

Nick the fact you found walkable ice within driving too far is very promising. My plans to be out there this past weekend got called off, but im hoping by Friday i can sneak out on mine for some early ice pike! also what happened to your yellow suit!?

smitty, kudos to you for actually writing an insightful post about another hockey team. I will put the passive agressive leafs bashing aside and commend you on actually saying something other than LAFFS SUCK, 1967! PLAN THE PARADE I personally think the hole the leafs have dug is too deep to get out of. Their only saving grace is that theirs 1 easier spot to claim. I think tampa and boston are a lock, and the wildcard is out of the question. The nice thing is that theres a long shot to get that number 3 divisional spot, but the teams they are chasing are also very bad. Montreal, buffalo and florida arent really the cream of the crop. The leafs need a big run though because its hard to gain ground with loser points being handed out

i think its like when you drink a heavy dark beer, you should drink a nice light beer after...you know to balance it out.

I live in pointe au baril. Ice is still extremely bad having only truly formed within the last week. That area got absolutely hammered with snow over the past two days. However the squalls were extremely localized. Pointe au baril didn’t get a lot of snow while areas to the south got dumped on. At best you may be able to tread cautiously on foot on very well known areas but any sort of motorized transport would be 100% out of the question. There is a cold snap due next week but with lots of snow on the ice it’s not going to help anything.

for the most part...but really, the standings are what matters. The leafs got off to one of the worst starts they have had in a decade and are now trending in the right direction after a coaching change, meanwhile the sens are what 5 years away from even having a team that can make the playoffs again? Will the franchise survive long enough , or will they be the nordiques by the time they make the playoffs again?

I need to learn a thing or two from you about 1. writing reports as good as yours and 2. how to land those monster gar!

"so much of what the leafs are missing" whats that, 3rd and 4th line talent playing on the top line? "Fast" lol the leafs are perhaps the fastest team in the entire NHL. Ron Hainsey just an absolute rocket out there "Will not back down" sounds a lot to me like a team that doesnt give up even when they are losing almost every night ahahaha "fun to watch" if you consider watching your team lose almost every night "fun" then i guess you are right

Lets definitely get out again this winter! Cheers and nashville is really really cool. If you like live music its a must go The lake is frozen, just how much is tbd! I will hopefully be wetting a line through a hole on saturday! and hopefully the line isnt getting wet because ive fallen in with it lol. Ive been living 50% ish of my time at the lake now and loving it! so soooooooon Cheers! tri lakes kinda has it all if you are a bass angler, slop, grass, shoals, deep, shallow you name it. I could go get a bag of 5 smallies or a bag of 5 green ones, dependent on your mood. Im nowhere near a good enough LM fisherman, soooo much to learn still. cheers bill!

this is great. I think my dad somewhat believes me now when i tell him that trimming up a little will solve his problem. this all stemmed from him being convinced his motor was causing issues with the previous deucer, however it didnt show the right beam even with the motor out of the water.
