Odd this topic just came up.

I just renewed my Cell plan with Rogers for ANOTHER 3 years. BUT....before I did, my plan, which I was going over in Minutes both Local and Long Distance and Text.

Well, I ended up talking to Customer Relations (not Customer Service) and I threatened to take my business elsewhere.

I was paying about $48/month for a pretty crappy plan.

I now pay $62 tax in, including all service fees, additional fees, emergency fees, personal fees, talking fees, hidden fees, and whatever other fee's there are (seemed like 50).

Here is the Bonus. When I threatened to leave, I got offered 1000 yes (one thousand) long distance minutes for $5/month. so for the next three years I have 1000 min/month LD, Unlimited Incoming, Unlimited Eve/Weekends from 6 PM, Unlimited Text (both in and out) voicemail and all that stuff.

The 1000 LD mins was a great Bonus though. Especially for $5

For my flashlight, I went and bought one of those sets of never die lights, the ones you shake to charge, that way the batteries never die....just an idea. they come in packs of 2. I put one in each bag, that way I ALWAYS have a light that works, on top of the one in the safety kit.

Hmmm Lew, how did you photoshop yourself over me? hahaha

Great fish. I am jealous, I think I need to get out with you and learn a thing or 1000.

Glad to hear you had a great time.

Stellar Idea G. Good call. Thanks.

Alright, I got my Salty S-10's. One more question. I am going to put Rubber behind them so they dont slip on the boat. What type of rubber should I use? Any recommendations?

Thanks guys.

Nice Job guys. Nice early season skis.

I usually buy it there, but the 1500 yard spools are pretty much identical. If I can find them cheaper I will get it at the lowest cost possible.

I wouldnt mind buying a spool or 2 of the 1500 yrd 80 or 100# Power Pro. I have 6 reels that I would use it on.

BUT.....if I buy that size spool, does it have a shelf life? Does anyone know?

Thanks

Looks like some sort of fish to me

So I decided to purchase another reel yesterday, I picked up the Shimano Tekota 600LC for my St. Croix 8' Glass rod.

After I purchased it (at JB's) Steve asked if i wanted it spooled. "How much?" I say. He looks at his chart and says $22. I couldnt be more surprised. A 300 yard spool of 80 or 100# PP is almost $80. I got backing, the line and it was spooled for me for $29 plus tax. yes i know the numbers dont jive, but he told me $22 and it cost $29 oh well.

I was amazed at the price difference.

Once again, Good On Ya JB's. Now Steve, where is my hat???

Wait till ya get home and Becky tells you all the stuff she found out from your "friends" online.

Ahhh that thread was a blast to read!!!

Someone needs to post the pic for all to see.

Congrats Crazyhook.

Hopefully I will have some Pics. Can they be mounted with the seat facing the water though? Or do they have to be mounted in the boat? Also, is that a metal reinforcing plate you have on the old boat? That may be a really good idea if it is that.

I am heading out to Ottawa for work in a few weeks, I need to hit one of you Easterners up for a trip in your neck of the woods. I would love to do some Musky fishing on one of the Rivers.

I think I have made my mind up with the help of Forrest, Roy and Mike the Pike, a pair of S-10 Salty's will be on my boat by Saturday as I am heading up for a week. I will call around for pricing tomorrow.

Thanks for the help Forrest and thanks for the pics Mike

Thanks Forrest, I need to learn to use the "Search" tool more efficiently.

Hey guys,

I know this has come up on here a lot, but I cant seem to find the thread. So I am just going to ask again.

I am going to put some rod holders on my aluminum boat and was just wondering what everyone recommends. Its for a side mount, not top mount.

Thanks

Version 3 is nice and fast.

 

Only problem I have is that all but one of my add-on's are not compatible with version 3.0.

 

Don't know if I am going to keep 3 or go back to 2.

 

Tom

Hey Tom, about 98% of Add-ons are compatible. You probably just need to go to the developers website.

What add on is it? I know this was the case for Minimize to tray.

Not being a computer geek Can it be explained to me why this is better than the current IE that is on my machine?

 

If I install or download this new version, what will it do to my current applications etc.

 

Thanks

 

John

Hey John, there are so many reasons why it is a lot better then IE. the Pop up blocker is much better, the anti phishing is more thorough, literally thousands of add-ons that let you customize the look and feel of it. Once Ver 3.0+ comes out you will see a lot more extensions come about. Tabbed browsing is a lot easier and more customizable, and it doesnt have the errors that IE does (it doenst crash consistently)

Try the add-on's go FireFox Add-ons

You will definitely like it, just give it a chance, you will not want to go back to IE once you start using it.

I hope this helps

Thats a pretty neat link Cliff. Thanks.

I got mine yesterday in the mail

Sinkers advice is on the money. I was up there 2 weeks ago and didnt see too many weeds, mid summer tho they should be flourishing.

Good luck up there.

Sinker, I should meet up with you one time up there and we could head out together if you are up for it.

Maybe im missing something here but?

 

Most trades are dependent on manufacturing........

 

So not sure what your point is?

I think what he is saying is, manufacturing will all be offshore. No longer here predominantly.

As for me, I work for a very large homebuilder in the GTA as an Senior Estimator. I am happy with the company as we are across the country now and across the States. Previously I was an Estimator for an ICI firm in Burlington, a small family run business which I didnt see the potential for the bottom line.

I have a college education and I am planning on going back to get my degree in Civil Engineering hopefully.

If you head down to Buffalo, stop at Gander Mountain. They always have the numbers and letters on sale for $0.01 per number on clearance. Or just buy the pack. They are neater and easy to apply compared to hand painting.

hahhahahahaa

Nice Little guy. Very clean. Great way to start the year.
