No problem John.

Nook took a look took took!!!

What's that in Canadian? :tease:

Done it quite a few times back when you could fish the outflow at the Bruce generating station. Put in @ the launch and run the couple of miles to the station. Always wore my floater suit though.

All terrains aren't all seasons. They have a much more agressive tread pattern that is usually pretty good in the snow. The BFG AT's I had on my bronco were awesome in the snow as are the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armours I have on my Pilot. My Goodyears even have the snowflake pattern on the sidewall.

Been colder than that here fer 6 weeks!!!! When it hits -20 it's a heat wave!!!!!!

Yours might have been a bit bigger than the ones on my little Honda.

I'm all for proper snow tires as well. Even before I moved North I always ran 4 snows on my cars back in Ontario. For 12 years I drove Honda Civics to get back and forth to work and I had much better traction than with the stock all seasons. In fact the stock all seasons were downright dangerous as soon as there was as little as 1cm of snow on the road. I didn't buy expensive snows either as I drove so many miles that they were replaced every 2 years. The snows I ran were Coopers that were priced at around $70 a piece. The last year I owned my last Civic I was on vacation in Alaska in the fall and ran into some serious snow in the mountains. I had to pull in for gas in the middle of nowhere. The lot was unplowed and there was over a foot of snow on the ground. I filled up and went inside to pay (inside the local bar) and the locals looked at me like I had three heads!!! LOL I paid and walked out the door and I can just imagine that all the locals inside were betting on me being stuck as I was plowing quite a bit of snow on my way in. I hopped in started the beast up and drove away as if there was no snow at all. Would have loved to see the looks on the locals faces as I left the station.

I hear the North Sea can get a little choppy at times.

Well I would be out today but I have to wash my socks.

It's a balmy -31 here this morning -40 with the wind chill. I won't be going fishing today.

Of course it should. If you live and drive in the Toronto area you have a much higher chance of A:/ theft or break in B:/ getting in an accident due to the much busier roadways than say me who lives in an area with 18,000 people. The city of Toronto has about 150X the population of Yellowknife. If you also take into account the number of people in the surrounding area (GTA) as they drive the same roads, the number increases to 300X the amount of people. Lets just pretend all of the people in both cities drive. You could surmise that people in the GTA are 300X more likely to make an insurance claim than someone in Yellowknife. Se where I'm going with this? So even though you're 300X more likely to make a claim than I am you aren't paying 300X what I am. But if you live in an area with increased probability of having to make a claim you should have to pay more. It's an increased risk, no different than the guy with 4 tickets who pays more than the fellow with a clean driving record, or the 18 year old kid who is much more likely to get in an accident than the 50 year old father of three. Insurance rates are based on risk and where you live either increases or decreases your risk. Lesson over.

I can't fish without my flasher. I can fish with a stick and string but without my LX-5 I'm lost!!!!

GO OIL KINGS!!!!!!

What the heck!!! Parallel parking is easy!! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lOjjBRnBtqc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

NAH, We had sandals!!!!

Brokers are great, if you end up having an issue as they will fight for you with the ins. co. I had an accident due to circumstances beyond my control and he fought for me and the ins. ended up not holding the accident against me. Not only that my broker back in Ontario was a good friend and I got to spend time at his cottage in Sturgeon Falls chasing walleye and pike.

4 miles though 3 feet of snow, uphill, BOTH WAYS!!!!! :tease:

Lots of people wear the Canada Goose jackets/coats/parkas up here in de North country. I wear a Choko Designs Adventurer snowmobile coat.

When I moved from Ontario to the NWT in 2005 my car insurance instantly dropped 75%!!!! It went from $4k/yr to $1k/yr just by moving. I felt like I had won the lottery when I went to change my insurance over.

$1300/year for my 2005 Honda Pilot (full coverage) and my 2008 Yamaha RS Venture snowmobile (PLPD). They want an extra $800/year for collision on the sled. Seems people wreck snowmobiles all the time.

This was 2 1/2 weeks ago. Since then we have added close to another foot.
