My biggest issue with Canadian politics is the lack of being able to decline your ballot and having it mean something. I don't think there is any party worth voting for in this election, but if one declines their ballot it just gets lumped in with all other ballots that were not counted (i.e. spoiled etc.). In the US declined ballots are counted as that and it sends a message that those who declined fell there is no one worthy of their vote. As such I will be voting for anyone but the big three as I don't like any of their platforms. Would have voted NDP until Mulclair said he would make it a priority to reinstate the long gun registry!!! What a moron!!!! The Libs already wasted $2 billion so lets waste some more!!!

First pre-season games of the 2015-2016 season tonight!! Leafs play the Sens tomorrow night. On TSN4&5.

Another miserable weather weekend here in YK. Rain and high winds all day Saturday and showers and wind today. Got out for a few hours today to clean up all the water from yesterdays storm and to tarp the roof. Quite the pain in the butt man handling a 30'X40' tarp solo in 40 km gusts!!!

It's a cartel sub that is used to run coke into the country. Was captured by the Coast Guard!!!

Drain gas, refill with fresh and Seafoam. Replace spark plug, run engine. Sounds like the oil is restricting fuel flow in the carb.

Tonight's light show.

A friend on another lake up here has one of those speedy pontoons. His is a triple tube 20 something foot deal with a giant OB on the back. The thing flies!!!! Even with 8 or 10 people on it. I think it has a 150 or 200 on the back.

Be nice and crush your barbs.

I purchased my boat through Legend in the spring of 1991 and am very happy with it. Even after 24 years!!! As has been said, they do not manufacture their own boats but re badge other manufacturers units. Mine is actually a Fisher SV-18 GT. I made sure to upsize the motor when I purchased it. Probably the best thing about my boat is the floor. It is carpeted aluminium so there is no plywood to rot like there is on most boats out there. The only wood on my boat is the core of the transom and two teak trim pieces on the gunnel and splashwell.

Extended transoms make the boat handle better by making it perform like a longer boat by setting the motor further back.

Have caught some good ones S of the QEW bridge on the Credit in my yoot!!! Above the rowing club. Usually in the spring though. Never tried @ this time of year as I was usually chucking hardware off the pier for sammins and troots.

Me too!!! No trip to Florida for cheap games this year.

I did the same thing with my Honda Civic when I owned it. Went down a size on the rims for the winter tires and saved a bundle on rubber.

I wonder if he's going to tell Crosby to go eff himself like he did to Phaneuf?

WOW!!!! Say what you will about Subban's on ice antics but the dude is a pretty generous, stand up guy off the ice. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/p-k-subban-donates-10m-to-montreal-children-s-hospital-1.3230086

My boat and it's carpeting was originally grey in colour. I stripped all of the interior out of it and prepped and painted the hull. It was painted using base/clear automotive paint and cost me about $700. I also stripped and installed new carpet @ the time. I did this about 15 years ago.

The last couple of sets of tires I bought for my Honda Pilot were Goodyear Silent Armour and they were very good in the snow and ice as well as on dry pavement. However they wore quite quickly and are no longer produced. So this time I bought a set of Hercules Terra Trac's and they have been a really decent tire at a good price point so far. They are more durable than the Goodyear's I had and get almost as good winter traction. Don't buy all season tires as they become ineffective in cold winter temps. http://www.herculestire.com/know-your-tires/terra-trac-at-ii/#loaded

OH THANK GOD!!!!!! I thought it said RUM RECALL!!!!

So there we were just drifting around and then BAM!!!! This whale jumps on us!!!!

Pretty simple fix here as I see it. A piece of high tensile fence wire across the narrows in front of your place @ neck height and 10 gallons of gas and a match for the CG. Problem solved!!!!

The 2015/2016 Leafs TV schedule is out. http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=778983

Well it may be the light bar capital of Ontario but I bet we got more here in Yellowknife.

1991 Fisher SV18-GT with a 2013 Merc 115 hp 4 stroke. With a full load of fuel me, the dog and supplies for the weekend @ the cabin 42MPH @ 5850 RPM. Cruise is 27-28 MPH @ 3950 RPM.

Weather was crap this weekend. Friday and Saturday was rain and high winds with gusts to 50 MPH. Today it's overcast, cold and a little rain. Decided to stay @ home this weekend and do some work on my fishin' machine. New front brakes, reconditioned my headlights as they were badly pitted and yellowing due to age. I also installed a new moose/bison avoidance system. My rig now has 37,000 lumens of LED lighting available. Should work well for those butt heads that refuse to refuse to dim their high beams when meeting you on the road. Still have 2 or 3 weeks left to get this cabin thing set for the winter before I have to stop working and start fishing until freeze up in October. Finished wiring up the Retinabomb 3000 death rays today.
