    When you are a landed immigrant you have  have most rights of a Canadian (except vote in fed elections).

    You can be here 40 years but do a crime and still get deported.

    He will appeal and get a reduced sentence but still might get deported.

    Sad all around..

    He will be deported even if his sentence is reduced. 

    The maximum sentence for this crime is 14 years.

    "Waldman says permanent residents such as Sidhu cannot remain in the country if they commit a crime for which the maximum sentence is at least 10 years or their jail sentence is more than six months."

    I've had both. My vote is 4X4 by far for what I need it for. Snow and ice road conditions, the occasional steep slippery boat ramp and driving a farms back 40 once in a while.  I have had to pull a few folks from the ditch or stuck in a snow drift and I know that the AWD wouldn't do the job 4 low will. 

    A few years ago when I was on a trip to Alaska my buddy and I ran my Honda Pilot down the beach to the river mouth.

    On the way back we came upon a Chevy Suburban stuck just as you come onto the beach.

    I yanked him out in low with the diff locked no problem!!!  

    I joked with my buddy that we should be filming this to post on Youtube,

    Title soccer mom mobile rescues stuck suburban!!!! ?

    I have that on my '01 Sierra as well but I'm super hesitant to use it. The idea of the drive train kicking into 4wd while rear wheels are spinning just screams to me asking for something to break. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't trust it. 

    This is how most AWD vehicles work.

    The computer senses wheel spin and reduces power to those wheels while adding or increasing power to the other wheels.

    It's pretty slick.

    Nice pictures. Good luck hauling materials. Will your cabin be finished on the inside this year or next? Are you using drywall or wood paneling on the inside walls?

    Gonna be a while yet to get the inside done. 

    Hopefully most of the insulation will be done this year and all the insulation finished next year. After that it's 1"X6" T&G pine for the finish. May do some drywall on the ceilings in the entrance, mud room, master bedroom and closet under the stairs. Not sure yet.

    Yup

     

    I ran an 8" with no issues. As long as you cleaned the whole out while drilling. I got probly 20 holes through 18". I now run a 6" ,as I only fish whities. If I go deep for lakers," which I hardly do " I do side by side. 6"  Drilled 25 holes today. Light bar when I got home, 3. That was through 26" of ice. You want power and weight,drag that gasser around. I will bet,I will be drilled,set up and fishing,well before any gasser owner.

    Even through 64" of ice with a 10"?  :whistling:

    I like the big holes. Makes fishing a lot easier. I had a friend out last year and we couldn't fit his laker through an 8" hole. Yes, on simcoe.....and yeah, I've pulled LOTS of big fish thru an 8" hole, but this one would not fit. HUGE!!! It was a heart breaker. 

    S. 

    Siamese or clover leaf your holes then. ;)

    I have been using my DeWalt 20V Max Li-Ion drill paired with my 8" fin-bore III. it works well enough... but i was on simcoe this past saturday and that much ice is really hard on the drill. started to overheat during drilling the second hole. keep in mind, Simcoe does have close to 30 inches of ice right now.. so take it for what it is.

    If you're going the drill route make sure the drill is brushless or they will burn up in a hurry. ;)

    Best option is the Milwaukee Fuel.

    FYI be careful with it. A guy on FB had it catch on his glove and it dang near ripped his thumb off!!!!

    Bleeding like a stuck pig and the x-ray of the bones was not pretty.  ?

    Best to use a drill plate too rather than just drill and bit combo.

  8. What you need to remember is Jiffy augers turn counter clockwise while the bulk of dirt and ice augers turn clockwise.

    Just something to think about.

    I have a Takana, Eskimo and Strikemaster and all three turn clockwise.

    Made sure before I bought them so I can interchange between them.

    It may be possible to use the gear case off your Jiffy powerhead on another powerhead but don't hold me to that. ;)
