I agree!

It's always a shame when crap like this happens, and usually the one not at fault that pays. Hope Sheri heals up quickly. For me, as I've grown older I now drive using the X-Files principle....Trust No One!

Thought after reading this I would post it since it effects us all. If to political then any of the Mods can remove it and I will fully understand. Yes I realize that something probably has to be done in regard to global warming but why do we always start at the bottom. I really don't think that the rest of the real world will follow Canada's example. The Kyoto horror show While the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitters take a pass, Canada gets clobbered By LORRIE GOLDSTEIN Here's my list of the "top 10" problems with the Kyoto accord on global warming. Feel free to add your own. 1) The United States, the world's biggest man-made greenhouse gas emitter -- 20.6% of all global emissions as of 2000 -- refuses to participate, arguing it would irreparably damage its economy and makes no demands on the developing world. 2) China, the world's second-biggest emitter (14.8%), is exempt from reducing greenhouse gases because it's a developing country. 3) The 27-member European Union, collectively the world's third-biggest emitter (14%), undeservedly benefits from the economic collapse of East Germany following the meltdown of the Soviet Union in 1989, not because of anything East Germany ever did to reduce greenhouse gases. 4) Similarly, Russia -- the world's fourth-biggest emitter (5.7%) -- undeservedly benefits from having huge "emission credits" to sell to other countries, not because of anything it did to reduce greenhouse gases, but because its economy also collapsed around 1990 (Kyoto's base year) after the fall of the Soviet Union. 5) India, the world's fifth-biggest emitter (5.5%), is exempt because it's also a developing country. 6) Australia, the world's biggest per-capita emitter of carbon dioxide due to its heavy reliance on coal, refuses to participate in Kyoto. Even if it did, it would be allowed to increase its emissions by 8%. This as opposed to Canada, a big, cold, sparsely populated, northern country -- necessitating the burning of more fossil fuels -- which must reduce its emissions under Kyoto by 6% compared to 1990, by 2012. COAL FIRED PLANTS 7) Almost 850 coal-fired energy plants planned by China (562), India (213) and the U.S. (72) over the next few years -- none covered by Kyoto -- will pump an estimated five times more carbon dioxide into the air than Kyoto removes, even if every other country hits its 2012 emission targets, which they won't. 8) Canada, which produces 2.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions making us the world's ninth-biggest emitter, is 35% behind our 2012 Kyoto target due to years of inaction by the previous Liberal government -- which locked us into the treaty -- followed by a year of inaction by the Tories. But even if we were to hit our target, which would mean savaging our economy and spending billions buying "hot air" from places like Russia, it would have no significant impact on global emissions, for the reasons cited above. 9) Kyoto is mainly about transferring wealth from the first world to the third through the purchase of "emission credits" and the like, not reducing greenhouse gases. 10) Kyoto's unenforceable. Finally, do Canadians support Kyoto? Our national media seem to think so, based largely on a recent Globe/Strategic Counsel poll, which asked people whether we should "try" to achieve our Kyoto targets. That received a 63% to 30% favourable response. But surely, Canadians believe we should "try" to do many things. Whether we're willing to make unfair sacrifices in a doomed effort, is the real question. Interestingly, when The Strategic Counsel asked the same people if they supported charging "significantly higher prices" for gasoline and heating their homes -- a far more relevant question -- the vote was 64% to 34% against. A CanWest/Innovative Research poll which was in the field at almost the same time as The Strategic Counsel, found about seven in 10 respondents agreed with the statement: "I don't care whether the new federal government implements Kyoto or not, so long as they take real action to make our environment better." Hmmm. The serious issue here is whether Canada's three opposition parties are crazy enough to force an election on implementing this worthless, unfair treaty. If I was Prime Minister Stephen Harper, I'd be saying to Liberal leader Stephane Dion and the rest of them: "Go ahead, make my day." Then I'd campaign on a "made-in-Canada" policy setting hard caps for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the energy and transportation sectors, while taking a chunk of the money we now spend subsidizing big energy companies and auto giants and using it to help people retrofit their homes. Finally, I'd tell voters what's really in the Kyoto accord. Diabolical, I know.

Anything can be justified when there are those who believe. Why don't they spend the $ on those in Canada that need food, shelter, clothing, and just plain help. Seems to me that would be helping human rights more than some building in Winnipeg!

Just wait, when your over 60 you'll start telling people that your younger, in fact once over 40 guys start telling women that their in their late 20's or early 30's !

We hardly got anything, maybe 10 to 15 Cm and lots of blowing snow. It pays to be in Southwestern Ontario as were much closer to the Equator than you Hamilton, Toronto , Niagara people. All done until later today here.

And now back to the question http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/units...cimeter.en.html It's still alive and well, just waiting to be used!

People like him are the true heroes, it's great to see he made it home safe!

With very few exceptions we have adopted our dog(s) from the local society. If you have the same experience I have had with Amy, pictured on the left, you will be a very happy person.

So have I and so far I've had no problems...hey for the money you can't go wrong!

OK maybe I'm just "old school" but unless it was an emergency situation I could not use someone else's hut, boat or whatever. One of the places we used to ice fish was between Manitoulin and the mainland close to highway #6. There were a few huts in the area, some locked and some open. We never used any of them but did mention a few times that if we had an emergency situation arise it was comforting to know that they were there.

I can't loose either way. If it misses us I work inside if it dosen't I'll be working outside. I've already filled the one plow with diesel and the other with gas so I don't have to do it in the colder snowy weather should it arrive. I enjoy plowing snow...you make money having fun.

I find those articles interesting Nice to know about the fish crisp purchase as I like using the stuff. It was interesting to find out Penn had sold out to Shakespeare...wonder what changes they will make.

AAAHHH summer here are a few things I like best Where I live Lakair G2G in June..I like camping as much as fishing Good times with my fishing rod and Amy on Nipissing near Lakair Camping and fishing at Silvr'y Moon on Trout Lake Just looking at this while wetting a line on Trout Lake

I agree with Tybo ( and others ) drain some that other site off and take off the thermostat housing and simply look at the thermostat. If it's open that's your problem, not that hard to do ( usually depending on the vehicle ) and cheaper than $60+ an hour if you do it. If it's open replace the thermostat and gasket and you all set to go.

Nothing wrong with your boat. just clean her up and your ready to go. Fish don't know how to read so whatever name is on the side it will still catch fish! As far as the motor run it in a tank to make sure everything is working ok...I.E. coils, plugs etc. are good. Change the lower gear oil and your all set. I think you will find that the motor is a Johnson, probably a 1960 model. Both were made by OMC but the evinrude cover ( engine shroud ) did not have the same slope on the rear as the johnson if I am not mistaken.

Before I purchased two of the lighted lures below at a fishing show I asked the MNR people if they were legal and was told yes. If the light is in or part of the lure there OK. If you note the two top units attach to the lure so if that's the case I can't see why a glow stick would be any different. But then it is the MNR and it is their regs so............. They went on to say you can't use a light shining down in the water. The top two are actuated by a ball switch floating back and forth as the lure moves. The bottom lure has two sensors top and bottom that when in water complete a circuit.

What happned to the pinned post. Just seeing and occasionally reading it made the cold weather bearable! Come on June!!!!!!

How long has it been sitting. If the electrolite is bad do yourself a favour and check to see if the battery is frozen or gel inside. If so don't jump start it just try the other battery.

Happy 14th.......26 more and you'll catch Jo and I AND you'll also be much older!

Older Yamaha Big Bear 4X4 350cc with dual range transmission. No need to buy a new one as it just keeps on doing it's job, and as far a terrain never been stopped with the dual range tranny yet! If you maintain them properly they will last a long time.

Did the Dominican years ago. At the time we caught lots of Baracuda, Wahoo and a few smaller swordfish, don't remember the cost as the company always paid. The swords hit on bait bounced on the surface from a box kite behind the boat, neat to watch as they broke the surface flying up out of the water while grabbing the offering.

If were are to try and stay un-political then why is Jack leyton on the cover of the first issue? Sorry I just couldn't resist!

Don't know if this will help much as we were there back in the late 90's but we did go back two years in a row. David Bogue, the owner had just purchased it prior to our first year and still owns it. I usually figure that if a lodge owner is doing things right and fishing is good then their continuing to run the place usually indicates satisfied fishermen. Dog is a fairly large body of water with lots of spots to try. There was/is a lot of fish sanctuaries on it and fishing adjacent to them can be very good, just don't get caught fishing in them. I remember the food as being very good and accommodations were more than adequate, equipment was in good condition and everyone while we were there had a good time. I would recommend taking a gps to mark your more productive areas and of course a fish finder is necessary to determine structure.

Spent all yesterday afternoon running either the tractor and plow or front end loader putting paths through the snow at the campground for our weekend guests to use. As early evening came on it was cold but bearable. This morning I'm happy I decided to finish the job before I went home last night. When I let Amy out a 5:30 this morning it was the type of cold out there that causes the storm door closer to loose all pressure and a guy in his boxers that was opening it to loose....maybe I'll not go there!.
