I can't offer any input on the korkers, but based on your description and on my own observances, if it where me I'd go with the smaller stud. I use a pan head metal screw in my boot soles, I pick them up at home hardware. They are on the smaller side from all the studs commercially available, and they do the job without being so aggressive. It has to be pretty icy, or the rocks need a pretty heavy layer of scum before I'm wishing I had an aggressive stud. I also don't worry about jumping into my truck with my boots on, or even into my tin boat during the earlier part of waterfowl season as they just don't damage things if your careful and they don't get caught on the pedals like some studs I've had before while driving. Just my uneducated, non korker owning opinion.

My kid broke a pair of mine in half, and they have me a new pair no questions asked. Great service!

I'm with him! I'm pulling my floors and redoing them with vinyl this spring, and if I need to replace any foam, it will be noodles.

Hunting with a drone isn't hunting in my opinion.

I did have a shimano symetre fail on me right out of the box, but I still believe them to be a good reel. I think it was an anomaly, because I have lots of shimano reels and have kicked the crap out of them with no failures and only maintenance or replacement of maintenance parts. Given your list, I would still pick the symetre.

Most likely distemper. Probably best you shot it.

Nope, it's not much different than it was back in tha day from where I sit, in the downtown anyway. I believe there is more gut and chucks now due to people consuming the roe, rather than just keeping it for fishing, but otherwise the liners, snaggers and night stalkers where always there. People are just more aware of it as a result of the hue and cry of the Internet.

You and me both!

You can keep your ice, I don't want to see any until mid January at least!

I can get behind that. Getting up at 4AM to go duck hunting stinks.

Put cat in bag, call animal control and report description and have them pick up the cat. If the owner is concerned about the cats whearbouts they will likely call animal control, if its a stray then thats the end of the story.

A reasonable balanced approach, and as they don't have contract policing, very easily doable.

Welcome to the entire term of the Harper government, where all the leftys did was squall and whine that it wasn't fair, and that it wasn't a popular vote as only 39.5 of the electorate wanted the government etc. Never mind the fact they dumped on the govt from day one, and what are you expecting now? Every conservative is going to suddenly say let's give little poo a chance? Hope and change pal, hope and change... Not in this country!

I used to cut on the side, small time but still had a truck/ trailer/ full insurance. If you can find a professional arborist to touch that for less than a grand, take the deal and run. Make sure you check to see that he has current insurance etc. A lot of the small time kijiji/Craigslist drop and run guys have zero insurance and you'll be on the hook when they screw up because they wot be insured, and likely won't have a pot to piss in either. When doing tree removal, even the best guys have an oopsie from time to time, although it's not common. Best of luck.

Ours are..... interesting. The kids did them. Nice looking jacks!

Congrats, can't go wrong with a Lund.

Because I agree with medical use of prescription and non prescription drugs for folks with real life altering illness, but don't agree with same for recreational use. Yes...yes, I can see how that comes across as hypocritical.

I have nothing against the medical use of pot, let's be clear on that. If your sick and need to get well, then people need to do what they need to do.

Well, sure now you have me. I've taken the occasional Tylenol. You've rocked my position to the core. I've also never had to sit on my couch staring at a wall and shovel Doritos into my mouth one after another from having a couple Tylenol. Last time I smoked a joint I was maybe 16, and I'm pretty sure that was pretty much what happened. No thanks. Now if I ever have a medical condition that so severely effects me that I need relief, then screw it I'll be toking with the rest of you. Until that day... I'll pass.

There's a big difference between ambivalence over people's chosen poison, and not thinking they are winners for doing it. I don't think anyone with a drug habit is a winner. YMMV.

About time!

LOL, can't you just shoot him in the leg.

I actually have nothing against people smoking pot. Your free to ruin yourself however you like, drugs, alcohol, fill your boots. I choose neither, and somehow still manage to have a good time. I have had plenty of experience with those hooked on the harder drugs, and potheads aren't much harm in comparison. My neighbours are potheads, from the parents who keep the lights on, to the 40 year old loser son who lives in their basement and smokes his brains out. I hardly ever hear from them, and I seldom know they are around other than when I smell the smoke from their backyard. The guys I went to school with who got into the dope are still living in basement apartments and installing stereos. The guys who treated it as an occasional weekend pleasure have managed to do okay for themselves for the most part. Maybe they still do it, I don't ask. None of my closer friends are involved with drugs. None of them are booze hounds either, other than a social drink or 2. But we choose our friends. Look at the bright side, you chose the prime minister, and I'm pretty sure he smokes! Hopefully he'll be relatively harmless as well.

First link comes up with a Facebook symbol and linky no worky. As for the second one, I'm not too reassured. I'm sure he can hold back enough to not hit the bong on parliament hill, but people don't "try" pot in their late 30's. They either do it regularly, or are casual recreational (ie: weekend) users at that age. Not what I had hoped for in a PM.
