  1. FedEx Priority includes freight and broker fees and it is quite reasonable if you need something in a hurry.
  2. You can have it sent FedEx over nignt if you really want it that badly.
  3. Beans, try out the Durham Cafe. Another wonderful place to eat in the interm. From what I understand one firefighter was hurt; burned wrist or hand. I was told that the fire started in the kitchen but I thought there was a sprinkler system in the kitchen. I wonder if it malfunctioned or something.
  4. If you have to replace it a couple of times a year there is likely something else wrong, I'd be looking for a burr on the tube or flywheel. CTC has replacement pull cords for lawn mowers which should do the trick if everything else is ok.
  5. Couple of problems with lead is:it's toxic and it's expensive!
  6. If you've never tried it you ain't lived yet! The only thing standing between that salsa and fortune is a good marketing plan!
  7. Water. You can adjust as needed when needed and get rid of it when not needed.
  8. You killed it? Why would you do such a thing to such a fathful friend?
  9. Wow, I should have titled this thread "what's wrong with us old guys?" For the most part all I have heard is how hard the young guys have it and how us old guys think our life was hard! Guess this is a perfect example of the "generation gap". Us old guys expected to earn it, the young guys expect to get it!
  10. He was on line about 7:30 this morning.
  11. He is cute, you are awsome!
  12. You need a lesson from CPH and an electric knife!
  13. OMG Joey if I was Paul's age and you were climbing into my bed,I'd be late for work every day
  14. What a wonderful report
  15. Trip advisor is a good place to start. https://www.tripadvisor.ca
  16. Where are you staying? There are so many wonderful places to eat, what sort of food would you like?
  17. LOL, I hope you don't get a pile of mushy greens too.
  18. You also need the medical for D and or DZ
  19. That was right after I got out of the army and in those days all you needed was a chauffers license
  20. Not my dock LOL, but there are a couple of places on the lake that I know very well where when the crappie bite is on the locals have a really hard time because people have gone so far as to even tie up to their dock. In one case the "fisherman" even got out of the boat, walked up to the cottage and had a dump right beside the owners propane tanks. That is totally uncalled for. If someone wants to cast my docks the only thing I ask is that they don't bounce lures off my boat and if you do get snagged please try to not leave hooks where one of the kids could step on it. other than that if I'm down there I usually say hi and ask how the fishing has been.
  21. Happens all the time! Sometimes people from outside the area think they can just move right in and take over. lets look at it from the locals perspective: I live here, I pay my taxes here, I would like to come down and fish off my dock. I get there and there are 5 or 6 other boats of (obviously not people from the area) anchored 25' off my dock and casting into my dock. I'd like to fish but they are making it difficult because they are casting across my line or just being rude! Do I have more right to be here? Do you have any right to interfear in my privacy and what I pay extra in taxes for? I pay an assement on $1285.00 per extra feet of shore line for every foot of shore line I have. Give me a little respect and I'll give you some, give me attituade and I'll give you some of that too!
  22. Is it ever too young or old to take a trade? OK, since I started: I am a certified: Brakeman Conductor Hiab Operator Pitman Operator I have driven Tractilor Trailer throught Canada and the US I was a Senior Field Operator at INCO's IPC plant in both the Reactor and Decomposer units I've run skidders in the bush D8 Cats, articularting loaders I'm certified on forklifts and Raymond Reach Trucks (and a few other things) I am also certified as a welding inspector and teacher speacilazing in recovery technicques At 60 I went back to school, did an apprenticeship and became a certified and licensed small engine technician I am now 70 and just recently compleated my DZ drivers training and qualified for my DZ license. You are never too old unless you think you are too old! Certified (well maby not in the right way)
  23. Can't help with a recomendation but we had a really bad experience with Enbridge, botched instalation, spent months trying to get them to fix it, finally had it removed and had one installed by another supplier. Best bet is talk to some of your neighbors and find out who did theirs.
  24. 9 in the boat great to hear you had a wonderful day!
  25. Brian (and others) You are right, my feelings were hurt and I spoke words in anger that I never should have said! I've been batteling some sort of a bug, working crazy hours and thought I was offering him a chance to pick up some extra cash, help mom and I out, and perhaps just spend a bit of time together. I guess I need to grow up somewhat! OIM as far as me taking a job away from some young person, two things; I'm not working because I want to, I have to keep working because I couldn't live on the $1300.00 a month pension I get! No youngsters seem to want to work for $16.00 an hour anyway. I have had a few young people tell me they can't find work and have no money, the minute I hand them a rake or a shovel they are gone.
