The original mitchell 300 was the cutting edge at the time of spinning reels---they made various models later called the 300---not the same animal
I picked up an original new in the box with spare spool and spool case @ an auction cheap.
Made a tidy profit selling it on Ebay.

I was listening to a Toronto radio station today and they said the city would hit an all time high gas price today of....I think....$1.41.9 and it's expected to go even higher in the near future.

The best thing I've read on this entire thread. You said it Kick.
I am really thinking about moving. We have a rental property in Nova Scotia, with great fishing. Property taxes are less than 1/2 there for the same accessed value. Yes 3 months of nice weather, maybe, that's what Arizona is for. I still can't believe this.
Why do you think I left Ontario and moved to The NWT?
It certainly wasn't for the extra 4 months of snowman making weather!!!!
Less income tax (much less $25K basic exemption, Northern living allowance and travel deductions), no HST, higher pay and the fishing is OK I guess!!!!!

Nope. Food prices are about 10%-15% higher than down South.
Inuvik is higher and so are the rest of the small communities.
My weekly grocery bill is about $100.
I eat a lot of meats and cheeses though as I'm an Atkins guy.

Our price is the same as it has been since 2012.

Here's a Subaru warning for you.
One of my employees had two of them that they bought at the same time.
An SUV for the wife and a WRX for him. There is no dealer here so all of their oil changes and other maintenance was done by one of the other dealers in town. They made the mistake of not keeping every receipt for said maintenance.
Unfortunately both vehicles had engine issues not sure what the issue with his was but hers had a defective timing belt that broke well within the warranty period. Because they didn't have service receipts Subaru Canada denied warranty on both vehicles.
They instantly traded in both vehicles on new ones that were not Subaru and vow to never ever purchase another and tell everyone contemplating it not to.

You can get away with S hooks but it is possible for them to come off.
I use the type of hooks with spring clips on my boat trailers and use Quick Links on my snowmobile trailer.

Safety chains should be crossed under the tongue to prevent the tongue from dropping to the road should the primary hitch accidentally disconnect. It is recommended that chain hooks have latches or devices that prevent accidental disconnect. The breaking strength of each chain should equal the gross weight of the towed trailer. (See: Farm Vehicles and Equipment and The Highway Traffic Act, Appendix A - chain grades charts.) Chains are required for goose neck type trailers that utilize a ball and socket type hitch. Fifth-wheel type hitches that have safety latches do not require safety chains.

Just the smell of them makes me ill now so I will never pick it up ever again.
Now me rum is a whole nuther thing.

I have the Nautilus three bank from CT.
It's made by Schumacher Electric and re-branded with the Nautilus brand.
Comes with a 5 year warranty. Had an issue with a fan in mine in year 4 and got a replacement no questions asked.
I'm pretty sure the NOCO Genius is the replacement for it. It also carries a 5 year warranty.

Almost 15 1/2 years for me.

Got home after work and found a Purolator tag on the door knob.
Went and picked up my package (a shiny new auto inflating PFD from Cabelas).
And the best part was the price $0!!! I won it in Cabelas Canada's FB contest.
Much better than the $234 it would have cost if I had to pay for it.

Tales of living in tents @ -60, having axes shatter on frozen trees in the dead of winter.

If you are into fly fishing and trout all of John Gierach's books are great.
Teddy Roosevelt's outdoor books are a really good read also.
