my location is under my profile but not on the map..no biggie

I have to wonder if it was worth it for the smaller vendors who have to pay thousands for a booth and then sell thousands just to break even..plus their hotel room, food, gas and time...I guess exposure is also a big thing to get their name out there..hopefully it worked out for most!

I took the subway down from Downsview (for $3) and talk about relaxing! Would definitely do it again that way..along Finch Ave to the 400 and well on the way home.. pics..people choose to eat different things everyday..quiznos/subway sub for $10?..why do people do that? Tim Horton coffee for over $1?..parking for $10 or $20..lol I had the pizza pizza combo for $6 and change..didnt feel like going outside to save $1.50

looks good guys...great job..

good job guys...

great advice pikehunter! lol The paper comes off okay; I think it is taking part of the actual drywall with it in places and you're right about painting over the irregularities; looks like crap. I will tackle it some more...I have some more compound that I think I will spread over the area rather than keep sanding.I think I was sanding right into the drywall as it was quite dusty when I sanded.... cheers

Hi Rob I was thinking of doing the same thing, only trying the dowwsview stop a couple north of Yorkdale. I remember parking at Yorkdale to go to a hockey game downtown; the mall was nuts, so I think I will try downsview.. cheers

okay..will do!!

okay so I venture into town and promptly return my $500 purchase to Future Shop (included extended warranty, new sd card etc etc) and at least feel better for the time being..Its amazing what a good nights sleep can do to impulse buying.. I wander into Shoppers and they just happen to have the Fuji WP Z33 on sale that they just got in..(I know its not the brand new one but...) $149 instead of $199..sold! I think it will be more than adequate for what she needs..looks pretty cool too if you like green,,which she does!! thanks guys Rich maybe see some of you at the show on saturday!

thanks alot guys...feel better now..it is the type where the first layer came off easy and we just sprayed the backing with water to soften it..will see how it goes..will likely remove the rest of the paper...uggg thanks everyone!

the back of my mind is telling me that too John...thanks for the input..appreciate it

Hi guys, I usually like painting and it has been on my 'honey-do' list over the winter so I can play (ie-fish!) this spring/summer. Anyway, moved downstairs and decided to strip the wallpaper on the upper half of the wall; of course it doesnt come off in a neat and flat manner. Most of it peeled away but some areas were left with bumps or ridges. I sanded the edges of the bumps down so that hopefully it would blend in with the edges/rest of the wall but seemed to be eventually sanding right down to the drywall compound. Needless to say it looks like crap and wondering if a power sander would help at this point..I am wondering if I should paint right over the wallpaper for the rest of it with a bull's eye primer and then the paint so it also doesnt look like crap.. any ideas or thoughts appreciated.. thanks guys Rich

kistler rods hands down...paired with a shimano or revo..awesome!

thanks Dave although 'chance' and 'might' dont seem to hold high hopes!! lol still dont know what to do!?! Rich

great to hear! Glad you had a good time..am heading down Saturday..

do you know who else carries it? i'm in orillia.....thanks I think it looks good too..movies in HD seems cool..

damn Bill...now you got me wunderin' hmmmm maybe I will look at others tomorrow.....the fuji one that mercer advertises looked okay but I dont think its out yet...

Hey gang My daughter is turning 19 next week and is going to Hawaii with her mom and guess what she wanted..yep a waterproof camera! I went to Future Shop today and they had a cheaper Olympus on display. The sales guy said they just got 3 new models in yesterday to go on sale Friday (when he checked they only had 2 left) but was able to sell one today.. It is the Olympus tough 6020 with HD movie capability etc etc. It was 349.00 so I picked it up as I didnt want to try to 3-4 different places and up back there...not sure if it will be any good but she is leaving on Saturday morning.. here's a link..any thoughts ? Oh yeah, it takes a regular SD card which helps too... thanks guys Rich http://mandurahcamerahouse.com.au/olympus-...020-p-2254.html

Hi guys Anyone know how to open up one of these files on a windows based 'puter? thanks

Went to the show today..was pretty good. There were alot of lodges/vacation booths for that trip of a lifetime. Also alot of boats on display..I found there to be not alot of actual fishing tackle although there was enough to whet your appetite along the sidelines...came away with a couple packs of soft plastics. Not a huge show but enough to get lost for a couple hours and look forward to the 2010 season..good job to all exhibitors!
