Perfect...

That was way cool!!! I would love to do that.... going to have to check with my buddies on who is interested. Question..... you went to the USA to jump... what about insurance? Is it valid if you jump out of a plane??? Burt

Shimano Sedona 750 + Fenwick Eagle GT (EGTS 56UL-2) works for me.... Burt

We had a guy from our US location coming up to assist us on a project and he had a VERY OLD (10-15 years) DUI charge and nothing else on his record. They asked him if he had been arrested for anything and he answered honestly and thus sat in immigration for 3 or 4 hours. They finally let him in for this one project but he was not allowed entry into Canada again until he had the DUI pardoned. I think our company lawyer worked on that for him. Burt

Burn it... then you don't have to take it away.... Burt

I like this.... Burt

Can't you build a stronger fence??? Burt

Scugog, let me know what model you are looking for if new and I will send you a Car Cost Canada report for it with all the wholesale prices etc... I still have a couple to use up on my membership... It is a great bunch of info to have when buying a new vehicle. Burt

Not in London but if you don't mind the drive to the Hammer...... Tony Benincasa at Queenston Chevrolet on the Mountain ( http://www.queenstonchev.com/ou/hamilton-buick-chevrolet-gmc/console.do?page=a_staff ). Really down to earth, low pressure, and a gentleman.... I just bought a Cruze off him a couple of weeks ago. Burt

Thanks guys, I'll check these places out. Burt

Don't forget to pick up any wicker chairs if you see them on the side of the road too Burt

I am looking to get some window tinting done in the Hamilton / Burlington area (or close by), if the they do 3M Paint Protection Film would be good too.... Anyone recommend somebody with good warranty etc.???? Burt

My situation lately is going to reduce my fuel costs by about $120 per month. My '04 Buick LeSabre (24.2mpg calculated) was written off a couple weeks ago (not my fault yay!) so I bought a '11 Chevrolet Cruze with a manual shift (so far 32mpg average after 1500Km). I drive about 60,000Km per year so this will drop the costs. At the same time the company increased our mileage allowance by 5¢ per Km..... so its getting cheaper for me to drive even though the fuel prices are going up up up.... Burt

If you have a Costco membership check out the Michelin X Radial. Very good high mileage tire with a very quiet ride and excellent wet grip. For value for the $ this tire I think it difficult to beat. Burt

It's Sucker Sunday in Dundas right now.... get down to Spencer and have at it lol... Burt

When I was there on Friday they were still pumping them out, but I heard the same thing on the radio as well. Burt

Check out this thread in RedFlagDeals.com. You may find some info on the car you are looking for in here for free. I just posted asking for a report for a Chevy Cruze. Burt

So I checked out a few of the rods mentioned. I liked the St. Croix AVS90MLF2 (the one that Tony has) but was hesitant about chopping off some of the butt on a more expensive rod. I checked out a few they had at LeBaron..... the Fenwick HMX HMXS86L-2 and the Quantum Tour Edition PT PTS8642FA and Energy PT QES8642FAC. The Quantums are marked medium action but they felt more like med/light and I liked the bend when strung up (faster than the HMX). All of them have long sections. So I picked up the Energy PT for $69.94, no tax. At this price I won't worry about voiding warranty by chopping some off lol... I will let you know how it performs after I get out a few times. Thanks for the input gents!!!! Burt

What about a BlackBerry? As far as I know this is the only system to still be virus free. Burt

There are many different strategies for different situations. Are you selling to one time buyers or to repeat and long term customers? You can sell more agressively to one time buyers since you don't have to be "friends" after the sale..... with long term customers you have to be more tactful. I sell chemicals and processes to industrial accounts. I need to support what I sell. I need to make "friends" with my customers. As John mentioned look for info in your specific type of sales situation. Burt

I will check that one out too! I have the 10' Convergence for pier salmon fishing and would like something lighter for spring trout. The handles are soooo long on those Shimano's that I cut off about 4" of the butt with a hacksaw and reglued the endpiece! Burt

I know those reels are a standard, but I already have a reel, just need the rod.

Tony, it this the rod you have? AVS90MLF2 9' ML Fast 6 - 10 1⁄8 - 5⁄8 This sounds like it may fit the bill for me. I will have to find one and check it out. How long is the rear grip?

Looking for a lighter action rod for casting spoons for spring trout off the piers. Reel to go on it will be a Daiwa TDA-2500 spooled with 8lb test. I have been using a 9.6 foot Shimano Canadian Custom Series light action noodle rod for a LONG time and I am looking for something with a faster action and with some more back bone. One thing is the rear grip cannot be too long as I find the long rear grips get caught up in my jacket etc. Any suggestions? Thanks, Burt
