DRIFTER_016

It's similar to the 2nd gen Tundra's bed bounce issue.

The Tundra's rear end did the same kind of thing when going over the expansion joints on concrete roadways and bridges.

Only way to stop it is to slow down.

They changed body mounts on the Tundra to fix the issue. Don't think that will work on the 250 though.

YOU started posting complaints about Toyota or did you forget......

 

I only posted a positive showing Drifter that the Tundra he's thinking about getting crossed over the 1M mile mark.

Tundra's do have issues like any other vehicle.

You will find the most issues with the 1st and 2nd gen Tundras.

The big issues were the frames rotting (recall), 2nd gen 5.7 air pump issues (warranty extended to 10 years), bed bounce in gen 2's due to too stiff a rear suspension (recall). 

Dodges have electrical, engine and transmission issues.

GM's have electrical as well as some engine and brake issues.

Ford's have differential, engine and suspension issues.

Don't know if the 150's do this but the 250's do and it looks like it sucks pretty bad.

It seems the only fans that are ticked about this trade are Anaheim fans.

So it must be good!!!

Statistically Speaking: Leafs land a new goalie

The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to be a lot better next season and they started their quest by dealing for a new starting goaltender.

Statistically Speaking breaks down Toronto’s trade for Frederik Andersen.

Anaheim was dealing from a position of strength, and Toronto addressed a need.

The Maple Leafs Get: G Frederik Andersen

Andersen, 26, has been an above-average puck-stopper for the Ducks, posting a .918 save percentage (.925 at even strength) in 125 career games. He also has a .916 save percentage in 28 playoff games. He doesn't appear to be a star but, more and more, we've seen that a star in net isn't what is needed to have success.

The difficulty for Andersen was that he had been battling John Gibson for playing time in Anaheim, and it’s a battle that was tilting in Gibson’s favour, not least of all because Gibson is a highly-touted, 22-year-old so, at least theoretically, he offers more seasons of prime performance.

Andersen is a 6-foot-4, 220-pounder who hails from Denmark that has the size teams tend to seek out in goaltenders and that stands in contrast to the goaltender that the Maple Leafs currently have under contract, Jonathan Bernier, who is listed at 6-foot and 184 pounds.

While Bernier has struggled in the past couple of seasons with the Maple Leafs – his .915 career save percentage isn’t far off of Andersen’s track record – and it’s likely going to be what the Leafs try to sell on the trade market. There aren’t a lot of teams with needs for a starting goaltender, or at least a goaltender with a $4.15-million cap hit, but it won’t be a surprise if Bernier is playing somewhere other than Toronto next season; either that, or he will be an expensive backup.

Andersen, who made $1.3-million last season, was set to be a restricted free agent, but has signed a new five-year contract with the Maple Leafs. He’s the present and the future in goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Ducks Get: A first-round pick in 2016 and a second-round pick in 2017

The first pick that the Ducks receive will be the 30th pick in this year’s draft (which originally belonged to the Pittsburgh Penguins). The 30th pick typically offers a little less than a 40% chance of turning into an NHL player. The Ducks now have a couple of late first rounders to play with in Friday's first-round.

There’s some variance with the 2017 second-round pick that the Ducks will receive, since it depends on the 2016-2017 standings, but a second-round pick, generally, presents just barely better than a one-in-three chance of becoming an NHL player.

Between the two picks, there is a fair opportunity for the Ducks to find a player that will have some value to them long-term, and this is a case of Anaheim dealing from a position of strength. Gibson is a very good young goaltender so it made no sense for the Ducks to pay a big price to keep Andersen too.

Verdict: While the price of the picks might appear significant, there’s a lot of uncertainty there, more than would reasonably be expected when evaluating a goaltender with Andersen’s track record. Thus, the Maple Leafs get the nod for acquiring the better player at a fair, but not unreasonable, price.

The Leafs picked up goalie Frederik Andersen from Anaheim today.

They gave up the 30th pick acquired from the Pens in the Kessel deal.

They also gave up a 2nd rounder next year. The leafs still have 11 picks in this years draft including #1 and #31.

Rogers planning to replace Stroumboulopoulos with MacLean on Hockey Night in Canada

Rogers Media is planning to replace George Stroumboulopoulos with Ron MacLean as host of Hockey Night In Canada next season but many details need to be worked out before the deal can be declared official, according to multiple sources.

The chief stumbling block to the move is that Mr. MacLean, 56, is adamant that he will not give up his position as sidekick to Don Cherry on the Coach’s Corner segment on Hockey Night, nor will he step down as host of Rogers’ Sunday night show, Hometown Hockey.

A source says the Rogers plan has the backing of National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman, despite his past fractious relationship with Mr. MacLean.

The move also comes as Rogers has struggled in the first two years of a 12-year, $5.2-billion deal for the Canadian na-tional broadcast rights to NHL hockey.

The negotiations with Mr. MacLean are continuing.

Until Mr. MacLean and his bosses, Rogers Media president Rick Brace, Sportsnet president Scott Moore and production chief Rob Corte, can work out how Mr. MacLean will do all three jobs, the ouster of Mr. Stroumboulopoulos, 43, cannot proceed, sources said.

If Mr. MacLean regains the job he held from 1986 to 2014, when he was demoted from host of Hockey Night to the Sunday-night show and his spot with Mr. Cherry, it will be a stunning comeback.

Mr. MacLean lost the post in no small part due to his battles with Mr. Bettman. The two clashed on the air many times during interviews as Mr. MacLean took a strong pro-player stand during the NHL’s many labour squabbles. After Rogers cut the deal with the NHL, Mr. Moore said many times that he regarded the NHL as a partner. Mr. MacLean himself acknowledged his relationship with Mr. Bettman could have cost him the host’s job.

Mr. Bettman could not be reached for comment and Mr. MacLean declined to comment in detail. “I can’t say a thing until Rob Corte or Scott Moore say a thing [about the plans for the 2016-17 season],” he said Sunday night. But Mr. MacLean did add that when it comes to Hometown Hockey, “I’m not going anywhere, I’m really into that and committed to it and Coach’s Corner.”

Mr. Stroumboulopoulos did not respond to a request for comment. One of Mr. Stroumboulopoulos’s friends said the broadcaster was in the midst of riding his motorcycle from Toronto to Los Angeles.

Several sources said Rogers’ hockey employees are expecting to hear the company’s plans for next season as soon as the NHL draft wraps up on Saturday. Over the past two years, Rogers has been hurt by the struggles of the seven Canadian teams, resulting in ratings declines and firings in the hockey department. Company staffers have said they expect sweeping changes to the hockey broadcasts over the summer.

Mr. Moore said in an e-mail that the story “is speculation. We won’t comment on rumours.” Mr. Brace and Mr. Corte could not be reached for comment.

One source said Mr. Moore was responsible for the decision and he has been considering the move for at least a year. Discussions are under way with Mr. Stroumboulopoulos’s representatives about a contract settlement (it is believed he has two years remaining on his deal), the source also said.

Mr. MacLean took the loss of the Hockey Night host job in stride and remained loyal to Rogers. While the ratings on Hometown Hockey were disappointing, often because too few good games were shown that night, Mr. MacLean was said to have done an outstanding job as host. He broadcast each week from a small town in Canada and the show was seen by those at the top of Rogers Communications Inc., including chief executive officer Guy Laurence, as important from a community-building perspective. They loved Mr. MacLean’s work and his stock with Rogers’ top executives rose dramatically.

Mr. Stroumboulopoulos was hired to give the staid Hockey Night show a more youthful face. But his his style never captured the imagination of the television audience. Criticism of Mr. Stroumboulopoulos’s skinny suits was frequent on social media and viewers also felt his passions – he still has a CBC radio show that focuses on music – did not lie with hockey.

Rogers hockey staffers contacted Sunday said they were not surprised about the pending move, which was signalled this summer in the surprise firing of Gord Cutler, the head of hockey production at Rogers.

Mr. Cutler was hired away from rival Bell Media’s TSN and he, along with Mr. Moore, were behind the radical change in broadcast style from the CBC version of Hockey Night. Rogers sources said Mr. Cutler made it clear he was not as enamoured of Mr. MacLean and Mr. Cherry as the previous regime and their time on air was cut under the new boss.

But after Mr. Cutler was fired, Mr. MacLean and Mr. Cherry were seen more often on the air during the playoffs. So was another old CBC hand, legendary play-by-play announcer Bob Cole. Rogers insiders say viewers can expect to see a return to a more traditional look for the hockey broadcasts this fall.

Report: Ron MacLean to return as Hockey Night in Canada host, replace George Stroumboulopoulos

Hockey Night in Canada might have a different look next season, but it’s going to feel awfully familiar for Canadian hockey fans.

According to the Toronto Star’s Dave Feschuk, Rogers is set to replace Hockey Night host George Stroumboulopoulos with Ron MacLean, who Stroumboulopoulos had replaced in the host’s chair when the iconic program became part of the Rogers broadcast family. Stroumboulopoulos took over as host on the tail of his successful CBC interview show, and the hope was ‘Strombo’ would draw in and appeal to a younger audience.

The change hasn’t been made official by Rogers, and Scott Moore, president of Sportsnet, told Feschuk that at this point the reports of the switch back to MacLean are “simply speculation,” adding that no plans have been finalized for the 2016-17 season.

However, if the swap is made and Stroumboulopoulos is out as the host, it will mean he lasted only two seasons as the face of the program. There are no details regarding the possibility of Stroumboulopoulos continuing with the Hockey Night broadcast in any other capacity.

As for MacLean, his return would see him inch closer to 30 years as the host of the program. MacLean’s original run as the host began in 1986 and continued until 2014, at which point he was replaced by Stroumboulopoulos.

MacLean has remained with Hockey Night, though, working the first intermission with Don Cherry on Coach’s Corner and MacLean was host of the Sunday evening Hometown Hockey broadcasts. Cherry recently signed a multi-year deal to remain a part of Hockey Night, and MacLean, his longtime sidekick, will remain in the role.

MacLean told Feschuk that he is committed to fulfilling his duties on Coach’s Corner and Hometown Hockey, but wouldn’t comment on the report that he was set to take over hosting duties once again.

I wouldn't buy any of them.

I've had Ford and GM vehicles and my folks have had a few Dodges.

I owned 1 GM and that was all it took to put me off them for life.

Dodges are crap too. Lot of electrical and tranny issues.

Fords are the best of the bunch but I still wouldn't buy one.

I will be replacing my current vehicle in a couple of years and will be getting a pick up.

A Tundra!!!!

ssssh---don't tell McD's. They'll probably have McGansers!!!

Their double McGanser with cheese is awesome!!!!

Their crap kills trees don't think a merganser does . say TOXIC I ain't eating one SSS works

When was the last time you saw a Merganser sitting in a tree?

 

Actually ducks vary anywhere from an epicurean delight to something I wouldn't feed my cat depending on the species and diet. Cormorants fall into the latter category based on diet.

Probably tastes not unlike Merganser!!

 

Cormorant on a cedar plank, grill , throw away the cormorant and eat the plank

Throw away the cormorant, throw away plank, go to McDonalds!!!

Wild story for sure.

I lived in this area when I moved to the NWT in 2005.

A starving wolf stalked a Canadian woman and her dog for 12 hours. Then along came a bear.

Joanne Barnaby was deep in the deadfall, smeared in mosquitoes and blood, dehydrated and near exhaustion, when she heard the call of a mama bear searching for its cub.

Barnaby couldn't believe her luck.

Twelve hours earlier, she had been picking mushrooms in the remote Canadian wilderness when she had heard a growl behind her. She turned around and saw Joey, her faithful mutt, locked in a snarling standoff with a skinny black wolf.

For 12 hours, the wolf had pursued Barnaby and her dog through the wildfire-scorched forests of the Northwest Territories.

And for 12 hours, the starving animal had tried to separate Barnaby and Joey, driving them all deeper into the bush.

Night settled around Barnaby, hiding the swarms of mosquitoes that blanketed her arms, legs and face.

And still the wolf snapped and growled, waiting for the woman or her dog to drop their guard.

Barnaby was near collapse when dawn began to creep across the sky.

That's when she heard the bear grunt.

And that's when she got an idea.

It was an idea so outrageous, some critics would later accuse her of making the whole story up.

Yet, Canadian officials and close friends confirm Barnaby was missing in the woods.

And she is sticking by her story that an outrageous idea — of pitting one predator against another — saved her life.

From hunting morels to being hunted

Joanne Barnaby knew better than to leave her gun at home.

She had grown up in the Northwest Territories, a huge and rugged region of Canada stretching north of Alberta to the Arctic Ocean. Part Dene Indian, or "mixed blood," as she would say, Barnaby spent much of her childhood in a residential school, run by the Catholic Church and designed to assimilate aboriginal people into mainstream Canadian culture.

"They tried to take the Indian out of us," she told The Washington Post.

When she grew up, Barnaby chose to work with indigenous communities. She often went hunting and hiking through the wildlife-rich forests, always remembering to pack her rifle.

On the morning of June 10, she and a friend, Tammy Caudron, decided to hunt for morels. They climbed into Barnaby's truck and drove east from Hay River along the highway.

Barnaby didn't want her rifle on her back as she stooped to pick up the pricey mushrooms.

So she left it behind.

"It was a stupid mistake," she said. "I paid a big price."

The incredible story of how that small mistake nearly cost Barnaby her life was first reported by CBC Wednesday. Barnaby spoke to The Washington Post by phone on Wednesday night.

Barnaby parked her truck near the highway at around 11 a.m. The two foragers then walked in different directions in search of morels. Barnaby had with her a basket, a can of beer and Joey, her black and yellow mutt.

Joey was Barnaby's guard dog. When a bear would approach her log cabin-style house in Hay River, Joey would race outside and chase them off.

So when, after about five hours of mushroom hunting, Barnaby heard a growl behind, she knew there could be trouble.

She turned around and saw Joey muzzle to muzzle with a black wolf.

The wolf was skinny — probably cast out of its pack, Barnaby thought — but still twice the size of Joey. And it was between her and the highway.

"He looked old to me, but he was smart," she said. "It took me a while to realize how smart he was, and that he was actually being very, very strategic in trying to separate me from my dog and wear me down. I don't think he was strong enough to take us both on. And I think he knew that."

Joey tried to scare away the wolf, as he did with bears, but it didn't work. The wolf was just watching them, legs spread apart as if ready to pounce, lips curled back to show sharp teeth.

"It scared the hell out of me," Barnaby said.

The wolf was hunting her. Whenever Barnaby tried to angle back towards the highway and her truck, the animal cut her off. She found herself drifting deeper into the woods.

"He was directing me. There was no question about it. He was pushing me further and further from the highway," she said. "He was stalking me. He was literally stalking me."

That's when it dawned on her.

She might die.

'Jo knows the bush'

Tammy Caudron didn't worry when she walked back to the truck and found it empty. She and Barnaby had a system. Caudron honked the horn, had something to eat and waited.

When Barnaby didn't emerge from the forest, Caudron decided to go back to picking morels. She returned an hour later with more mushrooms, but there was no Barnaby.

This is not good, she thought.

Caudron walked into the woods, yelling and whistling.

Nothing.

She walked back to the truck and honked the horn.

Nothing.

Now she started to panic.

Caudron flagged down a passing truck. When she told the men inside who was missing, they didn't seem too concerned.

"Jo knows the bush," one said.

It was true. Joanne Barnaby knew these woods better than almost anyone. It was nearly impossible that she had gotten lost.

But Caudron worried that her friend had broken a leg or, worst of all, encountered an animal Joey couldn't scare off.

The men agreed to help. They spread out in the woods, firing their shotguns to alert Barnaby to their location.

Barnaby knew where she was, however. She even heard a few of the gunshots.

But she was powerless to heed them.

—

A dangerous gamble

As the wolf drove Barnaby and Joey deeper into the woods, the landscape shifted. The relatively flat, burned forest floor gave way to thicker foliage.

Dusk fell and still the animal pursued them. Barnaby had only her now empty beer can: no food, no water. A cloud of mosquitoes followed her. Even as the wolf watched, Barnaby developed a habit of rubbing her hands over her exposed face, arms and legs.

"My hands were just full of blood and mosquitoes," she said. So many swarmed her face that "at some points it was hard to see."

She tried rubbing poplar powder on her skin to keep the insects away, but it did little good.

She was exhausted, hungry and dehydrated. The day had been hot. The night was cold. She was nearing her breaking point.

Then the sky began to brighten in the East, and she heard a grunting sound.

She could barely hear it over the whine of the mosquitoes, but it was there, in the distance: a sound she recognized well; the call of a mother bear.

"I actually sat down on a log and really concentrated," she said. "I heard the cub's response. It was coming from another direction, away from the mother, so obviously the mother was calling her cub."

The wolf, meanwhile, was watching.

"I sat there and I thought about it and I prayed about it," Barnaby said. She struck upon a seemingly insane plan. She would put herself between the mother bear and her cub in the hope that the mama bear would drive off the wolf.

"I decided I would take a chance," she told The Post.

Of course, her plan could backfire. The bear could attack her instead.

As she walked towards the cub, she could hear its calls getting louder. Before she ever saw the animal, however, the forest erupted behind her.

"All of a sudden I could hear this crashing behind me and this yelping and growling and howling," she said. "I just got out of there as fast as I could – from all of them, the cub, the mama bear and wolf."

—

Not out of the woods yet

For half an hour, Barnaby and Joey took a beeline away from the bears. For once, the wolf didn't follow.

When she felt they were safe, she paused to rest. But Joey began whimpering, so she let him lead her on through the forest. He took them to a small lake.

The water was muddy and tepid, but it was better than nothing. She filled her empty beer can and drank. Her stomach cramps subsided and she felt some strength return. She then climbed up a small hill. In the distance, less than a mile away, she could see cars stopped on the highway.

A search party.

She descended the hill and headed towards the highway, only to find her path blocked by a vast field of deadfall, or tangled, dead trees.

"I don't know if you know that game Pick-up Sticks," she said. "It was kind of like that but on a massive level."

Barnaby tried to climb through the deadfall. Ten minutes into it, however, she fell and hit her back.

She turned back, away from the search party and salvation.

"It was devastating," she said. "There were about three points at which I cried. That was definitely one of them."

"I didn't think I was going to make it," she said. "I started talking to both my sons, one of whom died when he was a baby, and my other son, who is a young man now. I was talking to all kinds of people that I love, and I was crying the whole time."

But she was also walking.

Eventually, Barnaby got to a muskeg, or marsh, with a stream running through it. She filled her beer can again and again.

"That water was amazingly delicious," she said. "It didn't look great, but it sure tasted better [than the lake water]. It was so pure and so delicious and so cold."

It took her an hour to cross the marshland. At the other side, there was a wall of willows "so thick I literally had to untangle them.

"When I broke through those willows, I knew I was close."

—

A final mistake

After the willows, the forest opened up again. She could tell from the recent burn that she was nearing the highway again.

At 8 a.m., 14 hours after encountering the wolf and four hours after escaping the bears, Barnaby felt pavement beneath her weary feet.

Less than a mile up the road, she could see Royal Canadian Mounted Police cars. She waved at them but they were busy searching in the other direction.

"I came up behind them," she said with a laugh. "I surprised them."

Mounties gave her food and water, but they didn't have what she was craving most.

"They didn't have any mosquito spray in that damn truck," she said. "That's what I was dying for."

Barnaby said she was so "pumped up on adrenaline" that she made one final mistake. She turned down a ride back to her house, opting to drive herself instead.

"I just about passed out on the highway from exhaustion," she said.

She made it, however, pulling into her drive to find Caudron and her family waiting for her.

"I thought you were dead," Caudron yelled as she hugged her friend.

"It was the biggest hug, the biggest cry I had ever had," Caudron told The Post later.

Caudron seconded her friend's story. Although she never saw the wolf, she recounted hours of searching for her friend. At one point, she saw a shape coming towards her on the highway, but it turned out to be a pair of buffalo. "I took a couple of photos," she said.

Barnaby posted her remarkable survival story to Facebook on Tuesday, along with a photo showing her covered in dirt, blood and poplar powder.

"In the hopes that by posting this, I can reduce how many times I will have to tell this story," her post began.

More than 150 friends and family members commented on it, praising the survival skills and smart thinking that kept her alive. Some even offered jokes.

"Morel mushrooms $5/lb," one friend wrote. "Your incredible brave dog Joey priceless."

Her story was also picked up by CBC, which ran an interview with Barnaby on Wednesday.

Some readers questioned her story, however, finding its confluence of wild animals too much to believe.

"The boy who cried wolf is an old parable, but the only morel to this story, is that it comes from the same stuff the mushrooms were growing out of," one reader wrote.

"This story is more fiction than real," wrote another. "You have a greater chance of turning into a werewolf under a full moon than you do of being attacked by a wolf."

But both Barnaby and Caudron insist it really happened.

"We should have planned it out a little better. A lot of things went wrong. But at the end of the day, she did a lot of things right. And that's why she is here," Caudron said, adding that she didn't pay attention to the "few naysayers here and there."

Barnaby said she had also given her account to the Mounties.

"I saw them on the highway and I basically told them what happened," she said. "They didn't even take an official statement. They didn't ask me many questions."

A RCMP spokesperson confirmed to The Post that Barnaby was, indeed, "missing in Wood Buffalo National Park."

"We can confirm that the RCMP participated in the search," the spokesperson said in an email. "One RCMP member was on scene when she was located."

Barnaby didn't seem bothered by doubts about her incredible account. She said she went looking for morels, not celebrity. Although she did admit that "the whole situation with the wolf is pretty bizarre. I've never heard anything like that."

Meanwhile, many of the people trying to pick holes in her story don't have a clue what life is like in the Northern Territories.

"I've lived in the north all my life and I've spent a lot of time on the land," she said to a reporter in Washington, new

"We interact with the natural world more often than you do down there."

May ball is old. Beat up, pounded on,smacked around and dragged up Innisfil beach road. Still works just fine.

You really shouldn't abuse you balls like that.

That's what 18V drills and screws are for. Work smart not physically hard.

 

I use a 20V 1/4" impact driver.

Way better than drills.

I have no idea how we ever built stuff before they were invented.

 

Weights absolutely attract fish, especially the sharks.. I've had lakers hit the canonballs, so they must be doing something

I've had lakers and nooks attack my cannonballs as well.

I'm smiling because I'm seating reading ont fishing with my arm bans on. WHY YOU SAY

 

My no pay volunteer job today is take bricks off my over loaded half ton. I did the math every brick is 7 lb and I'm 1806 lbs.

 

I wear these sh...t arm bans doing anything physical because fri and sat I'm pike fishing..............

I wear mine when hauling materials for the cabin too.

Last year I moved 25,000#'s of materials several times.

Even with the braces my elbows and back were toast for months after.

The Conn Smythe balloting was the closest in history.

http://www.tsn.ca/ballots-show-crosby-edged-kessel-in-tight-conn-smythe-vote-1.508739

I'm off to the cabin on vacation for 6 weeks starting next Tuesday.

Maybe I'll have to take my .22 and a crap load of ammo and have some fun when not building.

Might even have time to catch a fish or two.

Bernie says you can buy machine guns at walmart.

Kessel deserved the Conn Smythe.

But they did buy him a cheeseburger as a consolation prize!!!

 

A few times I pretty much went through a caseguard of 60 .220 Swift rounds groundhog shooting and way back when you could still go to the dump ( don't think the term sanitary land fill site had been invented yet ) and shoot rats I'm sure I've gone through a couple of boxes of 50 22 Long Rifle hollowpoints.

When I was shooting trap and sporting clays I was going through a case of ammo a weekend.
