Talk to an Evinrude dealer or just replace the ignition switch, you should be able to find something at CTC that will do the job. Just check to see how many terminals are on the back of the switch. The pin connection might be a little different than yours but as long as there are the same number of connectors you should be able to make it work.

Which just goes to prove that in spite of our best efforts, our kids don't always make the smartest decisions. Some of us are just luckyer than others I guess. My heart goes out to all involved! Like I said," there are no winners"!

Not arguing that my friend, I too knew where my kids were every night (or at least think I did). I just know some people that in spite of their best efforts (or lack of experience) weren't as lucky as we were.

Can only post from past experience, take plenty of bug spray and pic coils. A can of bear repellent might not be a bad thing to take along either if you are camping. Fishing will depend on conditions at the time. You can always catch something!

Trust me, this is going to cost them plenty! Probably destroy the rest of their lives as a family and we don't even know anything about them yet. Are they anymore guilty than my friends whose 15 year old daughter stole their car keys and went for a joy ride? I think I'd rather do what I can to help than point any fingers right now. They might be law abiding, god fearing people that have done everything they could to try to raise their kids properly. I would think they are very tramitized by the whole situation right now too. I can only imagine how I would feel if I were in their shoes right now.

There are no winners in a situation like this!

OK, sorry, I guess it isn't public knowledge yet or something. Angie at York newmarket didn't know about it. Thanks for the update!

Just talked to York Regional in Newmarket. No trust fund set up just yet but they think there will be. It will be posted on their website and in the media!

Well, there are a couple of really good ideas already posted. Depending on where you live a few solutions might be in order. Here, a .22 and about 5 or 6 shells (depending on the size of the family) would probably be the prefered solution. We don't like to pass our problems on to our neighbours. (if you don't have a .22, then a mini G2G would work, BYOG!) However, if you have a neighbour you don't like, a couple of cans of sardines dumped under their deck and a live trap for relocating your problem would probably work (not that I would ever do that, just saying). The moth balls would work to keep them from staying around under your deck and be a lot less expensive and a lot less work than trying to put in a wire barrier. Try the esaiest solution first. Let us know if you want to try the G2G thing, what was the name of that show? "have gun will travel"!

As a young offender, what is the worst he can get? It sure won't = the life he took! Does anyone know if there is a trust fund being set up to help Const. Styles family? If there is please post it, I would like to do something more than just offer my prayers. I read the transcript of his conversations with the dispatcher, this man is in my books a hero in the truest sense of the word. Gravely injured, with a van crushing him, he was still worried about the kids in the van. That takes a very special kind of person!

Last I heard on the news was that it was a 15 year old un licensed driver! My heart goes out to the family and friends, so many lives shattered for such a stupid reason.

LOL, I offered, Cindy threatened! End of discussion!

Good point, we used to use that rig in the French with lots of current. Ended up covering lots of area and getting lots of fish!

I have to tell you (but I should probably wait until he has the chance to do it) Whth. He loved the "survival package" you sent him but he didn't bring a computer with him so you will have to wait until he gets home for a report LOL.

I like the idea and I think it would work just fine! Give it a try! some of the best fishing techniques I have ever found were by trying something different!

Back pain and pills do not = an instant cure! You have damaged something and it will take time to heal. If you are still in pain after a week then go back and see your Dr.. Don't play games with your back, it could affect you the rest of your life!

Unfortunatly I won't be able to join you on Wed. I have to work but I'll lend Billy Bob my horse shoe!

Well they got here Friday about lunch time. Rain and more rain but it doesn't seem to have dampened their spirits. They have been boating a few walleye, going for a few boat rides, just hanging out and enjoying themselves or so it seems. We are really going to miss them when they leave for home. Nice people, wonderful company, and we really wish they could stay longer! We have already invited them to extend their stay so we can have a mini G2G here for them on Friday. They will let me know if they can. I'll let you guys know! Would be nice if they could get a chance to hook up with some more of the crazy canuks! Anyway, just an update.

They would have to be in VERY good condition before I would even consider paying anything close to that kind of money for them! Sorry but older used motors are seldom a good deal.

If I ever get the chance, I'd be happy to buy him one! Thanks for the update, please keep us posted!

Thanks! And thank God for technology!

Well, if you want to change things the best place to do it would be from the inside?

Don't know what that is? Explain please! CBC news at 6:00 is supposed to have full coverage!

Just heard, shot twice in the legs, once in the chest, expected to make a full recovery. Glad to hear that the perp won't, just saved us a bundle in legal fees! Give the cop a medal! He did what he is under paid to do! Next time you bugger about the cops doing their job, try doing it!

I wasn't there and don't know anything of the rumors that "might" be floating around but I have to totally agree with ChrisK on this one. That ANY OFNr would intentionally harm anothers "ANYTHING" well, you'd have to hand me proof positive and then guarantee it. My old buddy Andy would find all sorts of stuff to get into. Toads, frogs, dead things, brackish water, too much sun, heat, "or people food which he would devour if given the chance". "he even ate a whole 5" spec one time in one swallow much to my grandaughters dismay" Slurp, gone! I am really glad to hear that Marvin is OK, and that no other dogs suffered anything that wasn't temporary but I wouldn't buy for a second that anyone here would intentionally harm any of our pets.
