Looks great - congrats!

Okuma linecounter......welcome to the dark side!

Sir, I broker in facts. Here are the inflation rates since 1995: YEAR: US - CDN 1995: 2.8 - 3 1996: 3 - 1.6 1997: 2.3 - 1.6 1998: 1.6 - 0.9 1999: 2.2 - 1.7 2000: 3.4 - 2.7 2001: 2.8 - 2.6 2002: 1.6 - 2.2 2003: 2.3 - 2.8 2004: 2.7 - 1.9 2005: 3.4 - 2.2 2006: 3.2 - 2 2007: 2.9 - 2.9 If you still think it is inflation - I cannot help you. Here's a hint...... Twelve year CAGR on Food is 2%. Twelve year CAGR on Energy is 12.1%.

Good question - most likely the interplay across a few factors. 1. Lower volume - which typically mean higher margins 2. Operating costs: 2.1 Wages 2.2 Transportation costs 2.3 Energy costs 3. Taxation 4. General Administration (could be placed in second category as well) Remember that inflation is about the change in the price level, not the absolute level of the prices.

Current Canadian inflation is 2.4% Try again....

LOL!

Makes me want to bust a move....

How difficult are they to train?

Congrats on the new ride! (from a fellow Cambridgite) BTW, the Salmon seminar was very informative.

I have both Eagle and HB and so far, so good. I like the operating system on the Eagle better though - could be cause I use it more....

Salmon seminar was good and even though the show itself was small - managed to find three sticks to add to the collection plus a bunch of spin doctors. So, I'm happy with it!

Nice Fish!

Definately a tough break! With any service providers, you are going to have variability in their competence/performance. It sucks that the first guy missed that. But remember what they call the person who finishes last in their graduating medical class................Doctor.

Good work Rob! The kid is very cute....must get that from his Mother.

Opa for me.

Now, that's funny! :-)

Very nice - thanks for sharing!

Didn't see that one coming....good one!

Most folks are using 80#-130#, which seems to fit the bill. :-)

That's bad (in a good way)!

Won't be a problem. :-)

LOL - Good one!

LOL - thanks for posting!

Just hoping for a close game.....

Ver nice indeed!
