i think your first mistake was watching canadian sportfishing.

You got that right!!!!

I avoid that Turd like the plague!!!!

So here's my dilema.

Currently my domain regristration and hosting is taken care of by Netfirms in Toronto.

Well I just got an email from them and they have been sold to a US company.

I want to keep my $$$ in Canada so am looking for a new hosting/registration company in Canada.

So who are you guys out there using who are Canadian and how is their service.

I found a company called Hostpapa.ca also located in Toronto, anyone using their service?

Definately go with a group 27 or larger.

I have an 80# 24V unit running on 2 group 27's.

Almost forgot, I have had good luck with the CT Nautilus batteries.

My last set lasted 6 years.

Just remember to recharge at the end of the day.

Leaving a battery 1/2 charged is a sure fire way to decrease it's life.

It appears that you have won!

I wonder why they haven't reset to "0" yet.

Send a letter to Mike Holmes, he lives for this stuff!!!

You got my vote too!!!!

Well, Did you win yet ?

 

as of today, u are 300 votes ahead of the next guy.

This month finishes at midnight Eastern tonight.

PORCHE!!!!

This hybrid was built in 1900. 100 years before Honda or Toyota.

My guess is no one goes to Afghanistan on holliday.

 

There's probably more going on here that we'll never know.

You're right, but I just got back from a lovely 3 week vacation in Somalia with a stop in Libia on the way.

Back to the VHF talk. What is the difference between an 8 foot antenna for $50 and an 8 foot antenna for $100? I was at BPS shopping for them and couldn't figure out the difference.

Quality.

Of materials and workmanship.

Looking to get a radio for my boat this year, boat is 16.5' lund so space is at premium would i be ok with a handheld or should i be looking at a fixed mount?

What is good? What are you guys running?

Also would be looking for a place to take the certification course near St.Catharines

Go with a fixed mount as they have much more power.

Handhelds are generally 6 watt max output while a fixed mount is 25.

If you're looking for a compact fixed mount get yourself an Icom IC-M304.

It's the smallest I've seen and fits nicely in smaller boats.

Here's a couple of shots of the one in my 18 footer.

Thanks Guys!!!

Keep em coming and don't forget to vote daily.

Currently I'm running neck & neck with another video for the win with just 3 more days of voting to go.

You can't really track it, but you can find out if it has been cashed.

Go to the bottom of This Page and call the #, have your money orders serial # handy.

Do you remember listening to this?

You bet!!! They were the house band for every Sheridan College dance back in the day.

Saw them live a crap load of times.

PS they are still playing live.

It's a Joy Division day.

 

Still trying to find the entire version of this clip......

Got the 4 disk box set at home.

Here's another great band from that era.

Bauhaus!!!!

What can I say, I'm livin' in the 80's LOL

I checked the price of gas here after seeing this thread yesterday and it seems our price went up 9 cents a liter since Friday.

We're still not that bad though at $1.259 a liter.

Voip over satellite takes quite a bit of getting used to.

Remember you are transmitting through the air to a bird in the sky and back before your packets hit a terrestrial based hard line for transport to the provider, and then back to your computer.

The time it takes to hit the sat and then the ground station adds about 3/4 of a second to the journey. The same journey over hard lines takes less than 100 milliseconds. The 3/4 second delay causes the two parties to talk over each other and cut each other off. I tried my vonage device on sat when I first moved to the NWT and now have cable inet for making my calls via my vonage device.

I just moved my business at the beginning of the year. I was too slow in the thinking of changing providers. After a being raped by Bell again for more than $500.00 for the move, a $2000.00 plus dollar mistake on my part. I droped them. My number stayed the same, but my e-mail is what worries me. All of my print (cards, bottles, etc.) have the Bell addy on it. Plus my customers know that addy. They finally fed me enough crap that I was better off giving the money to get all this reprinted. I decided to go with Cogeco. Their customer service has been fantastic. I have internet (faster) and phone for less than just the phone at Bell. While there is a limit on the amount of downloads, I'm not worried, doubt if I even use half of it. Free calls anywhere in North America. I have Cogeco at home and have been really pleased with it there as well.

 

We used to have Explornet at home, I think that's who it was? It was brutal. Always going down. They gave us every excuse in the book for it. It's windy, it's rainy. It was so bad even when it was calm and sunny it would go down. Glad to be rid of that provider.

If you have a [email protected] email addy don't worry.

Bell actually hosts it on Microsofts servers and the email accounts don't get deleted when you leave Bell.

I have been using my sympatico acct. for over 10 years and haven't had a bell inet account for the last 6.

Caught a 1" long flounder while fishing for steelhead in Alaska once.

It looked like a tiny arrowhead.

Today was a better day and the only issues were the 2 big pike I managed to break off.

We got a bunch of fish in the 3-8 pound range and this one was the biggest landed.
