    I quit, cold turkey 10 years ago and it was very tough but I managed.

    One thing that helped me believe it or not was Extra Strength Fisherman's Friend lozenges.

    I don't know why but the feeling when you breathe in seemed to get rid of the cravings. Pretty wierd huh??

    I had my last smoke on January 10th 1999, so I will be nicotene free for ten years in a few weeks. :thumbsup_anim:

    Now if I could only get rid of the extra 100 pounds I gained since I quit!!!!! :wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:

     

     

    One more thing, food and beer taste much better and you can smell again. Plus you find out how repulsive smoking makes you smell when you are not smoking any more. When someone who smokes walks by you after you have been off smokes for a while it smells like a dirty old ashtray walking by!!! upck.gifupck.gifupck.gif

  2. When I lived in Grand Valley we had a 10HP 28" Mastercraft from Canadian Tire. It worked great the whole time we had it.

    Our driveway was 220' long with a 2 car turn around near the house so it got well used.

    Don't forget to do your end of season maintenance, you don't want issues in the middle of the season.

  3. The thing with torrents, especially private trackers is that in order to be a member you must seed (share) back whatever you download. So a 4 gig DVDR becomes closer to 8 gigs once seeded back. So internet providers have caught on and are trying to throttle torrent traffic to try and turn ppl away from torrents. I have no idea why you would have thought it was legal to share copyrighted material. While nothing pops up to prevent you from downloading anything, it doesn't mean its legal. Like anything in life, when laws are in place but not enforced it doesn't take long for ppl to assume its ok and believe they won't get dealt with. I use private trackers myself and get incredibly high speeds and don't have to worry (as much) about security as with public trackers or low level private sites like Demonoid. ISP's like Rogers have, in recent months, installed bandwidth caps (60 gigs) to try and fight torrents and their high use of bandwidth. Adding a $/gig charge for additional use is how it works now.

     

     

    There are other ways of dealing with high bandwidth traffic. I used to run a small ISP and would limit the available bandwidth on a protocol basis and used QOS (Quality of Service) to reserve bandwitdh for time/bandwidth sensitive protocols such as VOIP and Streaming Media.

  4. Buy a nice flipover portable shelter!!! Not only will you be warm, but you will have a nice boggan to put all yer stuff in!!! :thumbsup_anim:

     

    Or do what I did. Made a box that is held on with pins and can be removed in under a minute with no tools!!!

    I have room for all my gear and it is held in with a couple of cam straps. I'll take a pic with all my stuff in this weekend. I also built the box so my dogs crate can be strapped in the box so he can come along for the ride. If the dog comes I have a large boggan to haul my gear. With the dog and boggan I look like Jed movin' to Beverly though!! :lol:

  5. Of course it's illegal to share files using P2P software such as Bit Torrent.

    Your ISP is using software to gather info on P2P protocol transfers on their network.

    All the info gathered will be stored in a database incase there are lawsuits filed as there were in the Napster suits. The info can be used to charge and or sue you for theft of intellectual property.

    Now you are informed, download at your own risk!!! B)
