You can use A size thread an any freshwater rod you want to build. The heaveier threads are best for heavier applications like saltwater trolling rods etc. Any heavier than A and all you are doing is adding unnecessary weight to your finished rod.

We have an '08 or '09 Suburban as one of our staff vehicles at work. It's been good so far with no issues at all. It is freakishly long though. I think an 18 wheeler has a smaller turning radius than this land yacht. My buddy in Alaska has a Yukon and I think it would be a better daily driver.

A 30# plus laker!!!!

Livinisfishin I'm about 5500KM North West of you. Winter fishing up here is great!!! You get to fish all these lakes that you can't get to the rest of the year unless you have a plane.

Yes, in 38 minutes.

I got out today for the first time since I returned from Alaska. Spent a couple of hours jigging with a few looks but no takers. Couldn't get to where I wanted to be due to thin ice (it was only about an inch thick 20 yards from me, but I was on 3" to 3 1/2" of clear black ice.

That's great Brandon!!! Good luck in the finals.

You could buy one of These and do it yourself. Or buy a new set or use fish307's blade exchange.

My pup is a pound puppy too. He's 2 1/2 now and is starting to settle down (at least compared to last year). I can let him off leash and they do like to roam but he will come when called which is a plus. Lots of huskies won't and you have to chase them down for hours. Depending on the weather he will stay outside when I'm at work. He's starting to understand that being curled up on a nice warm doggie bed is much nicer than sitting in the rain or snow. Last year he wanted to stay outside no matter what, unless I was home. And yes you need to remember that they do go from this: To this: And you could expect this a time or two when he's in the puppy stage.

I guess I could take him out and show him how to catch lake trout.

I have had both breeds of dogs and can tell you this. The Labs are easier to train and shed waaaaaaaaay less hair!!! My mutt sheds 24/7/365 and has 3 layers of hair!!!! Thank god for winter when the shedding slows down a bit. My husky has taken a lot of work to get him semi trained. Huskies also take longer to mature and settle down than Labs as well. But they are better in the climate I am living in now than a Lab. Here's a shot of the hairy beast lounging around camp on Great Slave. Forgot to mention he like fishing and boating too!!!

Nope!! I bask in the glow of my 50" plasma screen.

WAA WAA WAA you don't know dark there bucko!!! Up here in the North we currently have sunrise at 8:30 and sunset at 4:15. We will lose another 4 1/2 hours of day light by the winter solstice. So buck up there Sparky!!!!

They don't but I do.

Hey, some of my best porn is on VHS!!!! Besides that piece of equipment plays them DVD things too.

You'll have to sleep outside 'cause there'll be a 50" TV in your bed.

How about this Halloween coloured Dolly Varden?

It's actually natural. I found it up around Great Bear Lake. I have no idea how it was formed, but it's really cool.

This intersection is friggin' insane!!!!! The most confusing road in the world Magic Roundabout, Swindon, England England loves its roundabouts, that’s no secret. They invented the Mini just for hooning around the things. Sometimes the Brits can get a little carried away with their own cleverness though. This nightmare consists of five smaller clockwise roundabouts with an anticlockwise roundabout in the centre. Imagine if they tried this in Canada, you’d just have mayhem, honking, cars moving in every direction. Apparently the trick to navigating these is just to hold your breath, floor it, and hope you come out the other side.

VHS? NAH it's Beta!!!!! It needs upgraing too. I ran out of funds though so it will have to wait.

Went to the toy store today and brought a new baby home. A 50" Panasonic Viera Plasma and a nice stand to sit it on. So it's out wirh the old. And in with the new. Just finished watching the Leafs lose, but they looked dang good doing it!!! Tomorrow it's NASCAR at Talladega!!!!

Done!!

There were about a dozen major crashes in Alaska this year. It seemed as if every week you heard of a plane load of people dying in a crash. There was an accident in anchorage at the air force base, another in down town, one about a mile from the entrance to Denali Park. In those 3 accidents 8 were lost and three injured badly. They are still looking for a float plane that went down in the ocean with all on board lost. In contrast we had one fatal crash in the NWT this summer. It was a guy who committed suicide by crashing his plane into the ground 70 or 80 KM North of town.

What it costs to heat we save in AC costs during the summer.

Thanks a lot guys. Irish Watch out for them big hills over there. They tend to really eff up a flight. Just ask Ted Stevens, or any of the others that didn't make it home over there this year. It was a terrible year for fatal plane crashes.
