  1. I did a lot of research and in store comparisons of TV's before I bought my new set last month. I watch a lot of sports including a ton of racing and I brought a DVD of one of the races with me to the store so I could compare the different units. Even with 120 hz refresh rate LCD's I could see motion blur. I even noticed it on some of the 240 hz units. I did have reservations about glare on a plasma but I just thought I would close the blinds. Between this and the special coating the plasma unit I bought has on it's screen it is a non issue. I spent my $$$ on a good quality plasma and I'm happy I did. I ended up with This Panasonic Viera TC-P50G20 50' plasma. After a month of viewing I can recomend it.
  2. 6000 votes and climbing!!!! We got a little celebrity help this week. Thanks to Sarah McLachlan and Bif Naked who called into our local radio station and thanks also to The Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan who posted our cause on his Facebook page!!!!
  3. 5612 Votes so far!!!! Keep up the voting guys!!!!!
  4. Definately a great old video!!! Here's a little history on the lodge. Back in the old days (Warren Plummer who built the lodge) came up to GBL for the first time in 1949 and used tent camps for his clients until the lodge was built. After years of taking out the big girls the area around sawmill bay was essentially fished out so in the 1980's the whole camp was moved nearly 200 miles North to the Dease Arm of GBL. They moved the camp in the winter over the ice to where it resides now. Even in the 80's they were still allowing large fish to be taken out. It wasn't until the mid to late 90's they finally restricted harvesting and made it C&R and only kept smaller fish under 28" for shore lunch. The fishing back at the old location is improving since it was abandoned 30 or so years ago. There are now hoards of hungry 20 to 30 pounders roaming the area. In another 30 or 40 years hopefully things will be back the way they were in the old days.
  5. Done Diddly Done Rod A Reno!!!!
  6. About 7#'s caught on a live leopard frog out in front of This Dump back in the 80's
  7. 3500 and climbing!!!!
  8. I'm pretty sure HE isn't hot. We hit 2500 12 minutes too late.
  9. I would, but it don't look good. Still need 75 votes in the next 5 minutes.
  10. We're hopin' for 2500 by midnight Eastern. If we make it a local dj will be seen joggin' down the main st. in a dress tomorrow!!! We have 223 to go right now and one hour to do it!!!
  11. He obviously didn't want to break the libraries noise rules.
  12. I haven't fished it but it's far enough South that I would bet that the pike grow big in there. I would also bet there is good fishing for burbot and whitefish. There are probably big lakers in that lake as well. It looks to be a resevoir too. Here's depth charts of the lake. Here's a topo map of the area. Here's a link to the Yukon's fishing reg's too. I would say there is a good chance that this lake would make an awesome vacation.
  13. The shanty that this guy in Michigan built is by far the most innovative I have seen. Folding Ice Shanty Some pictures of the finished shanty and set up pics. Finished Shanty
  14. 3 hours and 20 minutes into day one and we already have 850 votes!!! Now we just need to keep this pace up until the 15th of the month.
  15. Better go to the gym first, they weigh a lot more than most of the other options out there. I think the 10" weighs 43#. Compare that to a 2 stroke Strikemaster 10 1/4" at 27#. Then there's the fuel vaporization issue at cold temps. Propanes boiling point is about -40 and anytime you get close to that LPG will not vaporize.
  16. There is a drive clutch with a rubber "O-ring" that contacts the wheels drive assy. The O-ring probably needs replacement. While replacing it also replace the drive belts. On this parts diagram for an MTD see page 8 part# 38 MTD Parts Diagram

  22. For some reason I couldn't get the link to show at work. It said it was porn or sumpin'
  23. I want video of this hottie in a camo cheerleading outfit blowing this dude away!!!!
  24. Last week ours went up 83 cents a liter, due to enviromental reasons. The ferry was shut down due to low water and fuel had to be flown in. But now the ferry is running again and gas is back to normal #1.169 a liter. I love how our gas prices stay unchanged for months or even longer up here. None of the price fluctuation Bull like in Onatrio.
  25. It's true. Here's the last cabin Eddie and his drunk buddies built!!!
