  1. Hey all. Thinking of moving and a place I am looking at is near Gooderham. What's the fishing like out that way? NO, not asking for spots at all. I just don't know the area really. TIA
  2. Keep us post as it looks amazing so far. Nice colour choice too.

    Peek-a-boo

    When I worked in Markham, I would travel Little Britian Rd and see 3 different one's often. Between Little Britian and Lindsay.
  4. Nice, I have an off-shore one for seeing what's below too. My new this year, an FXR float suit for me, FXR pants for the Mrs (her jacket was still a good floater), new CKX boots for all and a new Pelican 68 with cover and trailer bar. BRING ON THE ICE!
  5. Problem there is, if he want's to run the BRP XPS (part number 779127) 2-stroke oil. My work cannot get it. All we have left now is what we pre-ordered. Many dealers in the Kawartha's don't have stock on that part number and the bigger jugs (779128).
  6. MFG MAY still support a part after 7 years as it's on a cross over used in another item that is newer. But they (car MFG mostly) can stop production after 7 years from that part numbers End Of Life time.
  7. Parts are only supported for 7 years from the 'model year' as a lucky average number to use.
  8. Seeing as I work at a Ski-Doo/Can-Am/SeaDoo (BRP), Kawasaki, Suzuki dealer in the Kawartha's, watch the age as parts become End Of Life AND if it's not a very common part that an aftermarket company makes/made, you're pooched. 2-stroke full synthetic oil stock is SO low I can't even order stock to replace what we sell. But lucky us we ordered well in advance of the current situation. Sliders, only OEM left available as the Dupont's are not available till after March 2022. Tracks, GOOD LUCK as there is a shortage there too from all brands! Belts too are probably going to be harder to get sooner than later. Last fall we winterized 220 Seadoo's and this year over 450 units. That's how crazy the world has gone in the past 18/24 months. No stock, high demand, used selling for almost as much or more than new but no NEW to be had as it was all ordered, bought and paid for over 8 months ago for any product line. I wish you the best of luck in your search but please keep in mind of age (lack of old parts) and a shortage on the newer sought after stuff.
  9. Yeah men tend to go up 1 to 2 sizes and women are as is most times. It's a unisex boot line for all the boots they make.
  10. So I got these at my work as they are LIGHT and rated to -85* and man am I HAPPY! Bye bye big old heavy Baffin boots!
  11. This too me is the most current and valid tune.
  12. It's a Uni-Filament fishing line, not a mono line and not a braid. Reminds me oF dental floss. Cast's a mile however!
  13. For a foot mat, I went to the $store and got the kids click together mat/pads and YES they really help on the feet and overall hut warmth. The hut size should be good for 1 adult and 2 pre-teen kids as a hut of that size worked for me and my kids. Get a folding shovel for covering the skirts as others have said to ue to move snow and cover the skirt(s). Also, keep the heater off the ice too so the propane tank doesn't freeze as fast as they can.
  14. FYI, SeaFoam is on sale at Peavy Mart (former TSC) for $8.99 a bottle that is normally $12.99 a bottle. Oh and places like Walmart and Canadian Tire (I think) offer a price match so here is a screen shot you can save to your phone and use when needed...
  15. Oh OI I have pocketed my ernings from my past and hence why I can do the toys and still not fret on how things are. I was at the bank today making sure all my affairs are in order, took the 2 wheeled one out after...
  16. Little upgrade over the past 12 hours...
  17. FYI, from the technical point of view the life jacket (suit) will not expire, however, since the material within loses its ability to keep buoyancy in water over time. Constant wear and tear cause the material in a foam life jacket to get damaged and losing its buoyancy. FXR snowmobile suits might suit your needs as you can get a 2 piece suit and the boys can grow into the others (sibling) in time. Make sure it has F.A.S.T. (float assist safety tech) on the suit if going that way VS Mustang or Striker and other brands.
  18. The bike bug must have hit me hard, 5500KM so far this summer on the Ryker and we added a 2018 Ninja 400 to the collection today.
  19. Worth a call/email to Shimano to ask them the question about it. If you love it, then make the call and take the whole reel to them and ask for a full service and replace the damaged items. PTBO is'nt far from Slowville. One never knows what may come of a trip there... I went with a broken rod that the warranty had just expired asking for help or a new tip and I was offered a good deal on a new one as they didn't have the matching tip available anymore... Worth an email/call and then maybe the drive in my mind.
  20. Ah Mr Cliff B, Sue and I are happy for you! Can I suggest you call my family law lawer in town who Sue also hired when she was doing her thing with her ex? Carol Jamison is in town and also in Minden so her time is split. A great and smart family law lawyer! Sue and we directed to do a co-habitation when we 1st got serious, but that all went out the window the second we got married. Carol is easy going, very well versed and for someone of her caliber; still a fare rate! Good luck my friend and again we are very happy for you!
