I know from some friends that he has made their job tougher because of clients breathing down their necks. However, I have personally worked with Mike on his Lein on Me special last year doing his elevator. He is right when it comes to "MOST" new homes being built. They are crap!

I would have been disappointed if I was looking at buying a boat. The boat I bought last year was $3000 more at the show this year. On the plus side we got a couple hats and a shirt from Angelo, Pete and Mike from Fish'n Canada. They are great guys!

I will be going on Saturday. I convinced my wife that I can't buy anything because I bought a new boat last year She forgot about upgrading

Also now looking at an 03 Yukon XL Denali. Anyone know the pros and cons with 4x4 vs AWD? I rarely go off road but would like to have the option.

haha those are common issues that I've had on other GM trucks. I havn't read anything really bad yet, I know there are issues with EVERY vehicle out there and the comfort and luxury part is a must for me. That's why I want to stick to the suburban.

Thanks for the info guys!

I'm looking at upgrading from my 95 Suburban 4x4 to an 02 Suburban 4x4. Does anyone know of any issues or typical problems they had? I took it out for a test drive today and it drove better than the 08 Z71 sierra that I had last year. Thanks in advance Dan

The usual!

Just got to my shop and my car shelter was ripped in half flapping in the wind

Awesome Pics!

When I filled up the suburban a few hours ago they were out of premium and getting low on regular.

I was planning on starting musky fishing next year and that's one company I will not buy from!

Have a good one Dave!

I. There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist religions, this reduces the workload for Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to the Population Reference Bureau). At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per house hold, that comes to 108 million homes, presuming that there is at least one good child in each. II. Santa has about 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 967.7 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with a good child, Santa has around 1/1000th of a second to park the sleigh, hop out, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left for him, get back up the chimney, jump into the sleigh and get on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 108 million stops is evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false, but will accept for the purposes of our calculations), we are now talking about 0.78 miles per household; a total trip of 75.5 million miles, not counting bathroom stops or breaks. This means Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second --- 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man-made vehicle, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second, and a conventional reindeer can run (at best) 15 miles per hour. III. The payload of the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium sized Lego set (two pounds), the sleigh is carrying over 500 thousand tons, not counting Santa himself. On land, a conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that the "flying" reindeer could pull ten times the normal amount, the job can't be done with eight or even nine of them--- Santa would need 360,000 of them. This increases the payload, not counting the weight of the sleigh, another 54,000 tons, or roughly seven times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth (the ship, not the monarch). IV. 600,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance --- this would heat up the reindeer in the same fashion as a spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer would absorb 14.3 quintillion joules of energy per second each. In short, they would burst into flames almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them and creating deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team would be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second, or right about the time Santa reached the fifth house on his trip. Not that it matters, however, since Santa, as a result of accellerating from a dead stop to 650 m.p.s. in .001 seconds, would be subjected to centrifugal forces of 17,500 g's. A 250 pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of the sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force, instantly crushing his bones and organs and reducing him to a quivering blob of pink goo. Therefore, if Santa did exist, he's dead now.

He did an Alaska special that was great! He had all the gear plus a crew but he went into the water almost freezing to death to show how to get yourself out of broken ice.

Beam me up!

That killed some time while I can't sleep http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=m1VDkuC5jVM

Got mine and enjoyed it!

Havn't been out to Ryerse for a couple years maybe i'll give it a go this weekend if it's slow again.

Lew, I have a TomTom GPS for my work truck and it has everything I need. It finds gas stations, restaurants, hotels and just about everything else. It only costs about $150 but I'm not sure about the screen size.

Went down to do some more perch fishing on Saturday in Long Point. The fishing wasn't nearly as good as last weekend for size but we did manage about 35 keepers with the biggest only being 9". Ended up catching tons of 3-4"ers that kept stealing our bait. We were between St. Williams and Port Rowan in about 5.5' of water. We tried out at EC10 for a bit but only caught a couple small ones and it was too rough to venture out to Bluff Bar. I know next weekend the heater is coming to warm up our hands. It was COLD!

Just made my morning!

Nice

Great Report! I actually drove in there around 5:00 but decided not to cast a line.

Very Nice! I might venture out to bluffs next weekend to try. I'm hoping to get a 14"er this year
