Those are Pete's custom hats. There was a post about it around this time last year.

Nice!

ya gotta check the CBAF site then. There are SOO many CBAF members here on this site that help and post all the time. JP is one of them...

it's funny you say that as all my MAIN reels are LH (both spinning and casting) but 2. 2 are RH casting for flipping as I'm a lefty and I have better aim pitching with my left hand... go figure... I'm not just 1/2 backwards I'm whole backwards!

same here.

CBAF get's my vote too.

Ah new toys toys and more toys...

dang honda's... wait! I have a Johnson on the "big boat"

I did show Salomon this (I sent my bill to them). Any company I have ever dealt with in the past and work with now; the warranty is from the date of purchase not the date the reseller purchased it... Either way, I have had great customer service from this store every time I have been in so I will be back. But no more Adidas-Salomon-Taylormade-Atomic (and others) products will be in my house unless it's free or I cannot buy it from another brand...

beat me to it...

So last year I went out and got a new set of skis for my daughter and myself. I took her out 6 or so times and it was the bunny hill most of the time as I was teaching her how to ski. This year, lessons start for my daughter, and I’m in a parent & tot program with my son (who also got a new set of skis this year). On our first lesson of the year (again on the bunny hill) my ski breaks when taking them off. The instructor looks at the ski and say’s “now that’s a manufactures defect if I’ve ever seen one”. The sidewall broke, the base popped a hole in it like there was a hollow spot and the edge was now coming out. So I took them back to the store I got them from with my bill in hand and asked if there was anything they could do. I was told “no, they only have a limited warranty and that I have to talk to Salomon”. So the person at the store was nice and got the ball rolling for me and even shipped the skis back for me. Someone at Salomon looked at the skis and say “we are not going to warranty 4-year old skis”. Right on the Salomon web site the warranty states “2-years for skis with bindings from date of purchase”. Funny, I got these skis, boots and bindings brand new last year… So I called the warranty department at Salomon and left 2 voice mails for the person in charge and have yet to get a call back. This is going on 3 weeks now… Needless to say the store I got them from called me to say my skis were back and to come pick them up. I have a chat with the person at the store on the phone and tell him what happened to the ski and how it broke and so on and he said “I will see if there is anything we can do at the store level”. I get to the store last night to pick up my broken skis or see what the store and do and the person I was talking to on the phone was still there. So he said they can do a refund on my skis but I have to buy new at $199.00 (I paid less because I got skis that were on clearance because as soon as the kids can ski I’m back on my snowboard). I told him that I didn’t want to pay extra and that I’ll just ski on the broken ones. He has a look for the manager…doesn’t see him or her and writes up the replacement (new) skis for almost the exact same price I got the broken ones for, he was off by 10 cents and I didn’t notice as I was happy he was doing this for me… I got up to do the refund/swap at the front cash and when all was said and done I owed $0.13. I reach around, not a single penny in my pocket! D’OH! So I tell the girl to give me a minute and I’ll run to me car and get some change. A girl working at the cash right beside her looks and says “how much? I have that change on me so there is no need for you to go all that way to your car”. I look at both of them and say a big “great, thanks so much!”. I make my way back to the ski area and my new replacement skis were set and ready to go too. So in the end, that’s the last Adidas-Salomon product I’ll buy (unless there is no other brand for what I need) because of the POOR customer service. On the bright side, I will be more then happy to spend my money at the Sportchek in Oshawa any day. Thanks Mike for the great customer service too! End of rant… Geoff

Bump I just got a call from my wife, a WFN Ambassador package has just arrived at my door!!! I think I need to "go home sick" and check it out...

TJ, feel free to pull any pics from here... http://s345.photobucket.com/albums/p387/G_...20gear/?start=0

Hell no! We all know DAWG would be topless with a drink in hand saying hi to all the folks as they sign in...

the 235 = width the 70 is profile hight R15, well those are on a 15" rim/wheel

the Mr Heater tank adaptor. then is it proof you can refill the tanks. (reread Terry's part on Legal) safe? check on the directions row H, it tells you how to test for a bad tank. so far, 5 tanks filled and not one problem. If I had a bad unit, outside it goes...

Jack, it's easy to do. Now that I have one, I'm happy. Key is you must freeze the 1lb tanks to fill them. I set up my 20lb tank on my workmate bench and start filling. Just don't keep it in the car with you when you have the 1lb tanks as that's where you would get in trouble... Geoff

Um, Dave? If I get skunked on your "home lake" wearing the shirt can I blame it on the shirt? So many of those fish must have seen your face by now so I'm wondering...

HAHAHA, good one

you mean like this from one of Simon's old post..

me too and I didn't know I was looking for one!

I got mine yesterday too! Look out Scugog this Sunday as I'll be breaking it in then and there! Thanks Dave and TJ!!!

not that long ago 4 mile lake msg board has a post about the new regs so I joined (as this is the lake my family lives on) and commented on all the plus sides to the $ being spent in town and how to keep it clean out there. Well, wouldn't ya know the next day I was banned (LOL) and my post deleted. Only post on "how bad this is" were kept... Either way, to me it's the fools that post the bad news about the new zone 17 regs and we all know, bad news spreads faster then good news...
