  1. I have a couple of favorites: 1/ Fillet Mignon 2/ Ribeye Either cooked rare.
  2. JEEBAS!!! SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!!!!! Thank god for the pastry police!!!!!
  3. Nice sanding scratches in the finish too. I guess they used 80 grit on a belt sander between coats. Absolutely crap work. I would make them re-finish the whole lot.
  4. You bet!!! It's going to be an epic video!!!
  5. Good!!! Don't give them a cent until it's perfect!!!
  6. I hope you still owe them a ton of $$$$. 'Cause I would tell them it's either right or you don't get another cent out of me. There are a ton of useless fools out there and this is just another example.
  7. Yep. I can see it from my front porch, so I figured it was time to fish it. Nice and close for those short days in December and January.
  8. Got out for a little fishin' today close to home. Hit the ice at dawn and didn't get off until dusk 5 hours later. At least it was a nice warm -20 degree day!! Sure beats the -40 highs a week ago. The lake is a lesiurely 3 minute snowmobile ride from my door, so I don't know why it's taken me 4 years to fish it. Probably because it's too close. Got out, picked a spot and drilled a bunch of holes off a bluff covering water 10' to 35' deep. Set a ciscoe on a tipup shallow for pike and jigged the rest of the holes for eyes and whities. Fish were showing on the Marcum almost non stop but they were non committal for the most part. I managed to land 1 small pike about 4# on the tipup and 1 smallish whitie on a Bad Boyz jig tipped with a minnow. I lost two other fish (walleye I think) and had about 1/2 a dozen bumps from whitefish (I think a shiner can hit harder than they did today) I wouldn't even had known they were hits without my trusty LX-5 as the rod tip only moved about 1/8" when they hit it. Any how on to the pics. PS I also have a video entered in the WFN contest. Ice Road Fishers the Movie
  9. Sharks attacking tarpon that are hooked happens all over their range. On one trip to the keys we had a shark attack a tarpon twice that size that we had on. It was in the 130 to 140 pound range. The attack came at the very end of the fight but the tarpon was brought to the boat and released with only a few scales missing. Typical tarpon gear is 20# test with 80 to 100 pound leaders. I saw a video of Roland Martin fishing Boca and he had a 150# tarpon eaten off the end of his line by a hammerhead that was estimated to be close to 2000#. I won't swim in Florida waters unless they are tiled and have a swim up bar now.
  10. Nah, you can still spin 'em up pretty easy. Unless you're rockin' a set of these bad boys!!!! Or these Or maybe a set of these
  11. WOOHOO!!! I'll drive down next week and do donuts at queens park!!!! No shortage of studded tires up here. Some people keep them on all year long.
  12. The reason less concrete is used is due to several facts. 1/ Asphalt is more elastic and does better with freeze/thaw cycles. 2/ Asphalt is cheaper to use than concrete. 3/ Concrete is eaten away by salt. 4/ It takes longer to install concrete than asphalt. 5/ Conrete takes longer to cure before it can be put in service.
  13. Dan The new radial tires still turn square in the cold, it just needs to be colder. Any time the temps dip below -30 to -35 radials exhibit the same problems only not as bad and not as long as the old bias ply tires did. Mine were square for most of last week!!!! Not this week though now that we are receiving tropical temps approaching minus single digit temps.
  14. I have a 2 man cube that I use during early ice and switch to my flip over once the ice is thick enough to drag it around with my 1000cc powered Yamaha sled. The extra weight doesn't bother me.
  15. Most guys don't bother with the sensors for their winter tires and just ignore the warning lights.
  16. Yep, that's a cool vid for sure. But so is this one. Ice Fishing Video
  17. I run Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armours, also an AT with the snow flake. Dang fine tire. When I was in Ontario and driving to the city from Orangeville every day I had Cooper snow tires on all 4 corners on my Honda Civics and they were excellent. I just left them on all year long and replaced them every 2 years. They were $70 a piece installed so it was very cost effective, especially since I was driving 60,000+ KMS a year.
  18. I remeber driving along the 401 one day and hearing a wonderful growl coming up on me from the rear when I turned my head to see what it was a huge smile came over my face. The culprit was an original all steel narrow hip 427 AC Cobra!!! I still get goosebumps when I think of it.
  19. He spent a lot of time on the rev limiter.
  20. I lived there for most of my life and have done it on several occasions.
  21. What gets me is no one will stop, get out of their car and toss the bloody thing on the shoulder!!!
