  1. Goes back 40 years or so ago, nothing to do with M.A.S.H.

    T'was a time I could not go into the woods without seeing a porcupine where no others could. They destroyed trees in the forest and were thought of as vermin, and we shot many of them, although in Maine this was illegal as they are one of the only animals that can be outrun by man and thus considered a precursor to MRE's for those lost in the forest, if you like the taste of turpentine that is.

  2. Bass Pro will skin you alive with shipping and their "brokerage" charges.

     

    Cabelas is no free ride either see the following

    Merchandise = $44.99

    Fee = $3.50

    Postage = $13.95

    Tax = $16.82

    ORDER TOTAL = $79.26

    almost eighty bucks for a pair of sandals, but they were exactly what I needed so I eat the costs

     

    Neither are tax free, sorry I couldn't be more helpful

  3. We had a chipmunk in the basement a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I have 3 cats and I couldn't trap the little bugger before they did what cats do. This is the first live critter these cats have seen. The reaction was humorous, but nor for the chipmunk. The Norwegian Forest cat was on it in a minute, the Maine Coon rocked back on her haunches and then took up the chase. Our big male siberian.......... ran up the stairs

  4. Hey all, I want to take a boat im looking at buying up in Keswick for a wet run. I never go on the water this early so im not sure what to expect like ice or debris from the spring run off in the water ect. Is there a preferable launch to do the test run the safest? Thanks.

     

     

    There's one or two public launching points off Lake Drive in Keswick. From Ravenshoe Rd go north on Lake Drive. The first one, I believe is right near the first stop sign, and if memory serves there's another at the foot of Glenwoods

     

    good luck with the new boat, but watch Simcoe it can get very rough very fast even on Cooks Bay never mind the main lake

  5. Bell in all its iterations is a dinosaur. The best thing that could have happened is a merger with Telus, and eliminate the dead wood in both companies. Most of the Bellites I deal with have been there over 20 years and they ceased caring/learning 19 ago. The company I work for is in the top 10 in size of Bell’s customers and still their service rots.

     

    One of my guys had occasion to call tech support one night. Got someone he couldn’t even understand. In frustration he asked the tech’s name (probably unpronounceable) the Tech replied Abraham Lincoln.

     

    We still laugh about it, but Bell service is no laughing matter

  6. I got nailed right around Christmas. I got a letter from Dell about some stuff sold to me but delivered to a Montreal address. I thought it was just a foulup.. Until I got my CC bill. They got my account for about 4K. MBNA says they will take care of it, charges from Barcelona, Venice (places we visited 3 years ago but didn’t use the card. I figure it was internet related as I only use that card for internet purchases. I think Dell is screwed, delivering to a person who is not the cardholder at an address that is not the cardholder. It could have been worse there was over 1K in pending transactions that got caught in time. Trouble is if they catch anyone just another slap on the wrist.

  7. After you get your minnows at Harry's go south on the Queensway (over the bridge). (Harry's is at the corner of The Queensway and Riveredge Dr) You will come to a store on the corner of Bayview (on the right). Go right (West) on Bayview and it will curl around to the south and follow the lake shore. There are some parking spots along there, but not a whole lot. As Photoz said the By Law enforcement officer makes a killing, same on the Gilford side and all along the lake.

     

    Good luck with the fishing

  8. I've got a similar situation, paid for by work. I went thru 2 blackberries from Bell and neither worked for crap at home (Keswick) then for some reason I switched to Telus and everything works. Funny 'cause Bell and Telus use the same tower. Anyway real solid, great phone and e-mail. just like a few good games to waste time while at the in laws.

  9. We'll miss you by a day, There's 5 of us headed out Tuesday, some never been before so should be fun. I wouldn't imagine that parking on a weekday would be a problem. But this is my first year on that side of the bay. I have noticed that some folks at the foot of Gilford Rd that let you park on their property for $10. From what I hear parking enforcement is brutal stay 9m from intersections etc. signs way up the utility poles the whole 9 yards, From what I have read on the other board the ice is mostly 6" and growing so a hand auger should do and the consensus is 20-25 fow

  10. DanielM beat me to it. But here it is anyway

    and a reviewers comment

     

    "These "stapleless staplers" work well in the psychiatric hospital where any small metal object becomes a weapon or tool for someone intent on harming themselves. I don't know what brand is used at work but it sound from the reviews it works very similarly. I gave it 4 stars because it does punch a hole in the papers and it only works with a max of about 4 pages"

     

     

    Would work really well where I work we qualify for the psychiatric label

  11. yea, but Al Bundy has a hottie for a wife

     

    Seriously I have been to BPS many times, and what little I asked the staff they were helpful. My gripes concern the fact that you have to tour the entire lure section to find anything, like Erie Dearies. They seem to have tons and tons of some things and none of others. I too have had problems getting waited on at the electronics counter, seems the staff there is more interested in gabbing with each other

     

    and NF they got rid of the golf dept

  12. really nice, wish I had known about this b4

     

    only problem is you have to depend on hydro to power up the old PC and your modem. Maybe a laptop and a wireless connection would work in a pinch. Ah H*ll just pop a cold one it will be over soon
