Can't tell you who to use for inet but for home phone I have been using Vonage for 7 years and am quite happy with the service. I don't have the unlimited service as I really can't use up 500 minutes per month so only pay $20/month all local and long distance.

Well if he's not native then I say fry his

maybe they are native..??

 

 

Yep, dude looks native or metis to me.

Fish may even have been netted.

Last time I was down there we went out with a bunch of different outfits.

The only one I can remember was Bud and Mary's Marina. Went off shore with them and caught a bunch of dorado, bonitas and some good sized amber jacks. My bigun was chewed in half by a 12'-14' hammerhead!!!

We fished about 14 miles off shore and got our AJ's off a hump out there. Dorado were caught off mats of floating weeds. It was insane!!! there was 8 of us and I took time out to climb into the tuna tower and video the action. All 7 of my buddies all hooked up at once and fish everywhere!!!!

We also took trips out of Marathon for tarpon and Key West off shore.

We took 2 or 3 trips out of Islamorada with different outfits and did well on each trip.

Have fun and post lots of pics when you go.

i should start shipping them to you .......lol O' darn ... you quit ...... lol

I could make a fortune.

Take a tractor trailer to Brantford and load her up for me will ya?

you can get two packs of John Players Speacial King size for 16 bucks ............ sorry i just had to do it .... lol

Not in Yellowknife you can't.

15$ a pack fer smokes here.

Good thing I quit in 1999.

Just pick up a Little Chief if you don't want to spend too much $$$.

Choke?

Would Love to see a picture as well!!!

Lots of pics here.

Nice sled. You will have tons of fun on it.

 

I hope and pray you never get stuck, cause you aint getting that thing out!! Its a BEAST for sure!

 

S.

Been stuck a couple of times with my 1000cc Yammaha and it is a bit of a pain but not too bad to get unstuck.

The big torque of these big 4 strokes is very nice. I find it difficult to drive my sled below 15 KMH though. Kind of tough in the tight and twisties.

Out on the lake on a packed trail these things are insane!!!! It tries to drive out from underneath you.

They are super sweet on long drives too. Very comfortable.

yup! i press the off button and the thing comes right back on at around 40km. im soooo annoyed, i cant get this stupid van home or now i dont have the balls to try it again without like chains or something on the tires. i was doing searching online and guys can hook up programers and they can set the amount of braking power and power lost when the stabilitrak/ traction control comes on and set it to like zero power so it still works but is really doing nothing. i have zero confidence with this van, im at a loss and making very difficult arranging to get home when my wife gets off work so we can take our good old reliable 4x4 truck home.

Have you talked to the dealer about the issue?

I'm sure if you tell them the issue that they can deactivate the traction control for you. If not you can always tell them to take their piece of crap GM back and you will buy a Ford!!!!

Yup, cracked heat exchanger definately means toast.

Nothing like carbon monoxide spilling into the house instead of up the chimney where it belongs.

I gather you don't have a CO detector in the furnace room?

My guess would be in the $800-$1000 range.

More if wheel cylinders or calipers need replacement or rebuilding.

Don't know for sure as I do my own work.

Yes but does it slow you down or help you get going.

If it's slippery enough it will stop you dead!!

My dad was driving his Honda minivan into our driveway in central Ontario quite a few years ago.

The snow was about 10" deep @ the bottom of the driveway.

He got stuck and the trac. control would not let the van even think about moving.

All you could hear was the ABS motor running and locking up the wheels.

Click the little button (Traction Control Disable) on the end of the shifter and you could drive right out of being stuck.

Traction control does work when driving down the road and you hit a patch of black ice but for extreme situations like the OP's it sucks!!!

You don't have that corn gas up there though, do you?

 

S.

The first 15 it lived in Ontario.

Still waiting for mine but it does take longer to get here.

Canada Post has to transfer it to the dog sled at the NWT border and then to birch bark canoe for the trip across the McKenzie River only to be transferred yet again to another dog sled for the final leg of the trip to Yellerknife.

I've never used mine in the 21 years I've owned the boat.

When running my attention is on driving and my hand is always on the throttle.

Plus my boat's slow!!!

Top end is about 37 MPH and cruise is 26-27 MPH. I always drive for the conditions and slow right down in crappy weather.

I definately see their use when running fast boats or seadoos.

When running my buddies doos I always wore the tether.

I could also see wearing it if you were a newby to boating as you have yet to learn about what can happen out there on the water.

Driving my boat I'm pretty mch in a cocoon in the drivers seat.

If I got tossed out I would be in some serious trouble as my leggs would probably be still in the boat!!!!!

Yep, ordered friday, delivered monday. Great service thus far and awesome deal. I think I am going to not use the D cell battery layout and instead rig up a 10 amp UPS battery, I think I'll make a little insulated box for it to help try and increase battery life.

Not sure what the battery pack is like in this unit but I have been able to remove them or cut them out in other units and use 7-9 mah gel UPS type batteries in my other similar portables.

My first boat was a 12 footer with 5 1/2 Johnson on the back.

I used it occasionally on Lake O off Pt. Credit and the Stacks but never over 1 mile off shore and only when the weather was calling for calm and no chance of T-Storms.

It did work ok for early and late season shoreline trolling though.

Just as a heads up I got my 5x dsi that I ordered friday delivered yesterday. its all put together and waiting for the hard water.

NICE!!!

15 years with the cheap gas..when can I expect the gas related problems your talking about, so I can prepare

21 years here, so it should start acting up any second now.

Or get down on one knee, and say I need to ask you something, pause, and then tie your shoe.

And ask if when installing snow tires "should you change all four" :rofl2:

Say to her "can I ask you a question", pull out the box show her and say "do you think Candy will like this?" :rofl2:

The North is not really the place to look for a "good" used sled as they get so much use up here compared to down South. If you are looking at used sleds get the seller to agree to let you take it into the dealership for a going over before sealing the deal.

An alternative is to purchase used through one of the dealers in town. Probably pay a few bucks more but atleast they have most likely gone over them and may even offer some kind of warranty.
