I have the 2 man version. I like the convenience of use, and it is light to carry. Got it as a gift I did not ask for. Wife really surprised me so I can't really complain. Downsides. Hinge pins for the canopy are cheap. Replaced with good ones. Canopy and back pack use common thread and poorly stitched. Many seams repaired with sailmakers thread and a palm.

There can also be numerous neurological causes for the problem. None if which are surgically correctable.

Great report and pics from the north country. A beautiful place to experience the outdoors

I have simple fishing goals for each year. 1) Introduce a younger person, or more to fishing. 2) To fish 2 or 3 new bodies of water each year. 3) To have fun every time I go out and wet a line. I met all 3 this year. On #2) I only have 49,500 lakes to go.

Built many a quinzy, yes they are warm. Built numerous winter camps and shelters to live in and learn on winter weekends. Making sure you keep your clothes dry in bed or out is big. Dry bedding area is also important. We would drag in a few bails of straw as an insulator and dry layer.

Hit up the Martin family's marina. http://realtravel.com/h-250393-clewiston_h..._rv_park_marina

A bunch of young lads just came home from Alberta last week. All laid off because the oil boom went bust. They were all told it was indefinite. Too bad the young lads behaved like young lads and blew the money on the worlds 2 greatest evils.

I got one set you can have. It just eats its weight in beer and groceries each week

i would have to agree that posting a person's pic, without consent, would not normally be appropriate. Have to say I have not heard any one bash OFC. We all, for the most part, have the ability to pick and choose what we read and don't read. A lot of the NF stuff is a hoot. As for some of the more colourful personalities I have read about.....

It's all about patience. I remember how upset some of the younger cubs would get after putting up their bird feeders. I'd always get a phone call from some young child, and he'd be just a sobbing, thinking he had done something wrong, expecting the birds to show up the moment he put the feeder up. The birds will come in time. Snow will speed up the process as it buries a lot of the available food on the ground. Make sure you keep the cat in the house.

Always found I had too much to put in the vest, and a fully packed vest hindered mobility. Of course the back pack also carries tackle, mapbook, first aid, compass, water, camera, knife and sewing kit.

One of the main reasons so many koi are swimming around the harbours.

Look really careful at the seams. The stitching on many of these ice huts is shoddy.

Right in the good old 5 Roses cookbook under butterscotch cookies. Use either the vanilla for flavouring or replace with Cardamom.

The Canadian govt was duped for over a decade by Massey Ferguson. Back then it was development grants, interest free loans, purchases of thousands of tractors for foreign aid. Don't get me wrong, they built a fantastic tractor then. They also priced themselves out of the market. The bailouts stopped and MF folded soon after back in the 70's. Someone bought up the remains of the company and continues the brand name, but the plants are long gone. It is only too likely that we will get into the same financial mess. We will pay through the nose, but the plants will still disappear, and we will be left holding an empty bag. Carp starter: Your math is a bit off. Not all adults are actually paying an income tax. Reduce that number by 1/3 down to 10 million and you have a price tag of $400 per taxpayer for each dig into the pocket.

I got a good dose of it as a kid. I'd spend a month at a time with my uncle in N.S. up Jeddore way. That and watching Don Messers and his fiddle music every week on the CBC.

You did what was best for your friend.

Ceilidh is a tradition as old as time itself. Also known as a kitchen party these days. Me I'm a big fan of the "Shanty Man"

They will be put on the table tomorrow as part of a smorgasbord and fish fry. My family used to always put up a huge open house at Christmas, but it faded away a few years after Gram's passing. 50-60 people would pass through our doors on Christmas eve, or on Boxing Day, for food, laughter and friendship. It is a tradition long overdue. Hyvaa Joulua ja Onnea Udele

The boys and girls out there on the line are doing their duty, regardless of the politics. They died, rightly or wrongly, in the service of our country. In war, peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, whatever,..., they have died on Canada's behalf. That is all that has to be remembered as we sleep in our warm comfy beds.

They are kinda like a ginger snap or butterscotch cookie. I'll be making snaps later. If I get really ambitious I might give Gram's shortbreads a try.

I had planned on doing some of this earlier this week, but today is the first day I've been well enough to get anything done. So for our Svensk and Suomalainen members, and the harfers in between, Nothing like fresh baked cardamom cookies. Fresh from the oven. I was worried I had forgotten how to make them. had a couple of false starts to the batch, but all is good now.
