  1. JJ, I assume you are dropping the 10-4 feature? I have BB Bold 9700 on Rogers and love it. BBM is a great feature. I don't get into the app's and use it more as business phone so it's the obvious choice for me. It handles documents and email very well. It's not the best multi media option out there (camera/video/browsing/streaming/mp3) but it does all that adequetly. Foremost, I like the keyboard and trackpad.
  2. Best beer commercial ever. http://yeahthatcommercial.com/video.php?id=138
  3. Shimano Sedona 2500 or Shimano Sahara 2500 Shimano Convergence 7' Med-Fast 20lb Suffix or Power Pro braid + Fluoro leader (15lb for pike, 8lb for bass, walleye, panfish) A combo like this will be ultra versatile and last a decade of abuse. Two decades if you take care of it.
  4. No problems with mine either... 3yrs and counting.
  5. Pssst, Mike! Dax is trying to poach your sales... you guys are on commission, right? LOL
  6. Weren't you paying attention on Sunday at the show? lol That's what I was looking for m-mh xf. We should do a Port Huron run soon.
  7. Looking good Emil! With what happened at work this week I may not get a chance to fish this weekend but I will know better by tomorrow. Investigation is finished and we're back in operation as of tonight but we're 2 days behind schedule. Sunday may still be do-able and we still have next weekend!
  8. Can you hook me up Mike? Stop in on your way through!
  9. Walmart & Costco have them as well as most battery suppliers. They're expensive at $200+ each reg. price. I'll give a nod to the CTEK charger as well. Even if you have an onboard charger, the CTEK is recommended by Optima and can be had for $80 full price at Canadian Tire. CTEK also sells attachments that can make it as convenient as an onboard charger.
  10. Joey wins everything.
  11. I was thinking the same lOL... it's just the snow stuck to it.
  12. I'm not concerned with driving out, I'm concerned with driving back in! It should be okay; I'll just stay about 20 yards behind you and your spud.
  13. It's worth it for the steaks alone! We have the "Executive" card and it almost pays for itself. Membership is $100/yr and we just received a cheque from Costco for $86. Prescription drug dispensing fees are about the lowest you'll find as well ($4.xx) but drugs aren't included in the 2% cashback deal. Propane refill is $10.xx Best of all is the free buffet lunch
  14. I see them with regularity. By that, I don't mean all the time but it's almost predictable with a strong east wind (60K+) in the same location near our terminal in Buffalo. I'm betting it won't be the last one you see in that area, when the conditions are right. I tried to photograph it once but it just looked like a nice snowy field. LOL
  15. Can't sleep eh? 'Gratz on the new ride!
  16. I'm still waiting for my fist Simcoe trip of the season. Thanks for the report!
  17. Awww man! That's nicer than my truck! LOL
  18. This is not accurate. "Brokerage" is determining the class of goods and reporting to customs for shipment. When you cross the border in a vehicle and the goods belong to you AND ARE IN YOUR POSSESSION, you do not require a broker, you simply declare the goods and country of origin. When shipping an item, class of goods and origin will determine if the goods are eligible for entry into Canada and if duties and taxes will be applied. With USPS, you are charged a flat brokerage fee incorporated into the shipping price. When the package arrives at your door, you MAY be required to pay duty and taxes. With UPS, brokerage fees are over and above the shipping price. When the package comes to your door, you WILL pay brokerage fees and MAY pay applicable duties and taxes depending on the item value and whether or not is was declared gift/sample etc. To make matters more confusing, some companies will ship UPS but handle brokerage and applicable taxes themselves. Cabela's is a perfect example of this. No surprises at the door when the UPS guy hands over that Cabela's box.
  19. They probably wouldn't be shopping online. UPS drivers accepting cash would be too much of a target for thieves.
  20. This is exactly how I feel. Even if it was a free trip, I'd be roaming around looking for something else to do!
  21. Now THAT is dedication!
  22. Welcome back!
  23. He prefers Coors Light
  24. I'll believe it when I see the pictures Great report as usual. I hope I can get out there with the truck soon!
