  1. Do you like cork or EVA for grip? I have not held one of these yet but I hear the new SLX line as a whole is very good for the price. https://naturalsports.ca/products/shimano-slx-spinning-rod
  2. Hard to say what I like vs what you might like and not knowing a budget is even harder to guess. I stick with Shimano as I can get to the depot for warranty work or tune up on reels in an hour drive.
  3. I went too and had lunch and walked around. Some deals to be had but I didn't need anything so I went home with no new toys. One vendor was very pushy with telling me what I need and what I should like and be able to afford. I was looking at Shimano product like I always do to be flogged a $90 combo at random and I do mean random! Those new jeep looking side by side's looked good (but not a Jeep product or street legal). All and all a decent show for the size.
  4. I plan to go to see A: who is there B: if there is any least minute deals ? to support my local event I am going there around lunch so I can have my lunch there... lol
  5. Hey all. Anyone going? I plan to on Sunday. https://www.lindsayex.com/event/kawartha-sportsmen-show-3/
  6. Save the pic's I posted to your phone and walla you have a sale price. They are legit sale prices you can see online
  7. PS, Suffix 832 spools are on clearance at Walmart for $15 a 150 YD spool
  8. Make your own sale when you can. How? Screen shot the items on sale price and get another store to match it. They didn't ask me about it if Canadian tire had it in stock or not so...
  9. Clearance bin! I never pass them by and here is why.

    It's funny cause a FB memory came up the other day about a 'reminder' and it was something she had posted on a few years ago in the comments to that post. She was a great person and we too had some great chats.
  11. Pic's, pic's and bills of sale for as much as you can find! A full inventory list as you go day by day adding to it when you have that "oh shiiiii, I forgot to say..." moment and a good adjuster will add things within reason. And yes for fishing items the hooks, line, leaders, swivels and all those items lost do add up. I will second ServiceMaster as the guys from Peterborough helped my folks out and me out when I needed them.
  12. Hey Cliff. Sorry to hear about the rough times my friend. I am still in town and looking forward to trying to get out with you this summer. You know how to reach me on my cell so feel free to drop a line (call or fishing) any time fine sir. G
  13. Oh yeah, my 2007 impreza needed them done BUT I did drive it like it was stolen. Damn I miss that car...
  14. Very nice Mr B. And um Terry, I think the JD Gator is bigger?
  15. Very nice Mr B!
  16. Easy! Toque!!!!! As HH say's they are a Pickereye!
  17. Yours is a legacy package Bell hasn't sold in over 8 years. Trust me they want you to change to a new package! LoL If you make a change it's gone for good so don't do it!!
  18. Only those in the Fibe to the home or node (box on the St.) area can get that. As for channels with Bell for $125, probably the "Better" channel pack + TMN and or HBO.
  19. A1. Shaw will let you have up to 6 TV set top tv boxes active on 1 account so YES you have have up to 6 locations sharing a bill for 1 account. Just don't tell them more info. One is your house, the other is a cottage you visit that you own and 3rd is an RV and a single TV is there for temp use when travelling. Any more info than that and a 2nd account at full pop price wise. Legally Bell can do the same and offer up to 6 TV's of SAT service. BUT they must all be SAT TV to do so and not the new FIBE (fiberoptics) as the two don't play well together, at ALL. But for Bell if you lead on 1 is here and the other is here... they want full price for all locations. Shaw doesn't (or didn't promote that for the past while as they too want more cash). So in short yes both Bell and Shaw can have 6 TV's on one account for SAT TV ONLY as long as they don't know they are in different area's. Yes you need a dish per hook up too! Oh, do not connect the phone/network line to the tv box if ever sharing as it tries to dial out to let Bell/Shaw know if you want a PPV and it will give away the TV Box location... A2. Depends on location (land/house/city) and TV set top box hardware. Most is 1080i with a digital upscale to 1080p for cable. If in an area offering true 4K tv via cable then yes 1080p but if not 1080i and the TV set top box does it best to produce it to 1080p. *Edit to add* part 2 to A1 of interruptions. If watching TV on SAT (both Bell and Shaw) and the weather is causing the TV to pixilate (sp?) and not able to watch in a steady manner change to the SD channel vs the HD one. Yes you will get the picture in SD but less likely to have many interruptions. I can watch a show in SD in a snow and or rain storm and watch (well yeah may get the odd minor stop but nowhere close to in HD) it all while I can have a TV in the SAME house on the same show in HD and I can miss most of the show to the point of giving up and turning the tv off.
  20. Yes, they own the copper lines BUT DSL internet is also run through that very same line. You have to be close to what is called "central office" for Bell to offer DSL.
  21. thank you
  22. What does #BellLetsTalk day mean to me…? Well, I worked for Bell Canada for 4 years on the inbound sales team for residential services and I spoke to 100’s of thousands of people over that time frame. Yes, many ended up in the wrong department at times by not following the prompts but it was my job to help if I wasn’t able to provide to services. Many a time there would be callers I could not help because it was an issue I could not fix. But a few times a year I got calls from people who just needed to talk or vent and would not let me off the line till they have done so. Sadly (on more than one occasion) I had people with mental health issues asking me for help or they would harm themselves or worse, end their life. Mental health isn’t a stigma, it is real! Think of all the famous celebrities we have lost in the past 10 to 15 years due to mental health problems causing death? Now think of those like you and me that are not famous and can use some help? I bet the numbers are staggering those that go on quietly day to day that nobody hears about! Why? Because we (the many) are not famous, or notable to any outside our friends and our family. However, my absolute favorite actor of all time couldn’t battle it and win on his own so why should we?!?!? Robin Williams you were a true gem and sadly missed by many around the world. Now all I ask is that nobody tries to go this fight all alone. Please reach out, talk to anyone. I’m just as guilty here so I need to re-read this and focus on me too and I have no shame in publicly saying so! Have a great day and know that it is NOT a STIGMA and YES there ARE people YOU can talk to! So please do! #BellLetsTalk #ItsOkToTalk #MentalHealth #StopTheStigma #HaveAGreatDay#HaveaSmileOnMeGBW
  23. Yes, depending on where the person is located. Bell and cable companies (if avail.) will rent out the lines to provide an option to the customer. That is, if it's available to even get via Bell or cable.
  24. All my reels are lefty, spinning, casting, centerpin, fly. I am left handed but ambidextrous for most sports so my casting and throwing is my right arm as my primary. Can I mix it up, yes. Why bother...
