Can anyone recommend a guide for the Niagara River? I would like to see about booking a day trip to take out a customer. Probably for some time in April or May... Thanks, Burt

Jumbo the Elephant??? Club99 but that burned down I think lol.... Burt

A friend and I dropped by there three Fridays ago to get a fishing licence and there was a notice on the door that the landlord had taken possession of the premises. The store was still full of tackle and everything Burt

Whatcha looking to fish for in Dundas? You can fish anywhere, just depends if there are fish there or what you are targeting... Burt

Way to go Sean.... looks like you and your dad had a great time!!! Katelyn's dad....

A family friend has a 2004 Freestar with some possible tranny troubles. To get it going you need to put it in low 1, over and over, and then you can get it moving. Once moving low 2 for a bit, messing around with it also. Finally it can go into drive, and once it catches there it will drive like normal. It will shift up, down, you can stop and start and it is like normal. If you shift out of D to park etc. then the problems start again. This year range had lots of problems with the torque converters, does this sound like what this is? Or could it be something in the shifter/column that is toast? She is a single mom, and although she has a $2000 budget for fixing it, she is worried about getting more work done than necessary. Anyone have any educated guesses what this could be? Thanks, Burt

So far 29,000 Km on mine and I love it. Averaging 6.9L/100Km over the whole distance. It is a LS with MT. As said before..... can't really compare it to a car 11 years its senior. A lot heavier, a lot safer.... like a new Civic.... Burt

Aha.... I missed the pounds and thought he meant fillets.... thats a lot of perch!! Burt

I believe we have a 50 fish possession limit, so that would be 100 fillets, so I would think he would be OK Burt

This is why I do mine myself as well..... 5L Pennzoil Platinum for $25 on sale + Napa Gold filter for $10..... when the stealership charges almost $100 for dexos1 synthetic oil change on my '11 Cruze..... and are you really sure they put the full synthetic in or just the blend???? Burt:)

Whitbyboatguy is correct...... she will not be at fault, and your insurance rates will not go up. I was the front guy in a chain reaction rear ender. The only guy charged was the one who plowed into the group at the back, the other two were pushed into the cars ahead of them. The insurance for the guy behind me did call me and ask "how many impacts did you feel". I told them one. They were trying to determine if he hit me and then was hit in his rear end after the fact, in which case I would have felt two impacts. Burt

"High and Dry" was my favorite album from them..... I never needed love before.... Till I met you girl.... A girl like you I have never seen.... You came into my life like a whirlwind girl.... You let me know what lovin' really means.... Lady strange, oh lady strange, I want you.... Lady strange, oh lady strange, I need you.... Burt

In the near future I can see........ ....a pulled chicken sandwich....... Burt

Thanks for all the replys gents.... live bait is out, not going to chance a reaction down there, I touch the stuff and I break out all over (remember that Martin Short movie??), gloves are not enough insurance lol.... I will stick with jigs and plastics and will have to be careful I don't touch any bait residue out on the pier. Burt

Heading down to Florida and staying on the beach near Clearwater.... might bring my salmon casting gear and fish a bit off Pier 60. Anyone fished there before? Can someone recommend tackle that I would need? Live bait that can be bought on the pier is out as I am allergic to shrimp etc. Would large white tube jigs work? Thanks, Burt

Yeah I know they get nowhere near the advertised range. This will be for amusement parks like Wonderland and Disney. I had a set of Cobra's but the neighbours kid smacked one off the pavement.... Burt

Can anyone recommend a good GMRS radio with decent range and reliability at a fair price? Thanks, Burt

The electrics are fantastic!!! Burt

It's too bad that many "fishermen" are dirtbags.... with your licence in the pocket there would be no doubt who it belongs to.... Burt

I don't thing those pics are his (unless he posts all over the net).... but here are a few of mine... The equipment.... WSM... Brisket... Atomic Buffalo Turds... Pulled pork.... Ribs.... Turkey... Reverse seared bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin.... Burt

The colour of the ball is really irrelevant as red disappears at around 15ft and orange at around 25ft, the ball would appear a shade of black below that... Burt

Dealers are always more likely to offer low prices to serious new car buyers Showing a dealer your CarCostCanada Wholesale Price Report proves that you are a serious new car buyer Although many vehicles can be purchased for only 3%-5% over the dealer wholesale price, due to strong demand many hot-selling vehicles typically sell for 5%-8% over the dealer wholesale price

How does everyone know what they want (really "need") to pay for said vehicle?? How do you know the dealer emailed you their "best price"?? www.carcostcanada.com Run a report on the vehicle you want, and it will give you the wholesale cost the dealer pays for the vehicle, what incentives are currently running (the ones you don't know about too), and a rundown of the current financing as well.... It works... I've got a free report still to run, let me know what you are looking for and I will run one for you.... Burt
