  1. Going back further, found this, I always liked Richard as the best vocalist in the group <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qg-aPpQbrec" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  2. Too bad we couldn't return to the late 70's when a group of us hunted them for pelts, we got $50 to $70 a pelt and the going wage at the steel mills in Hamilton were I worked was $7/8 a hour, that was a days pay. Now those same jobs pay 4X as much and the worth of a pelt is actually lower now I believe
  3. Thanks for that Grimace, big fan of Warren/ Gov't Mule/ Allman Bros, Trucks isn't bad either I'm sure you will like this, never figured out why Rory was never more popular this side of the Atlantic, he was a majour blues/rock player for years before his death in Europe.
  4. If any of these new braids are flea proof for the diver rods out on the big O, now that would bbe a BIG PLUS.
  5. There seems to be a spring run also in the Niagara River. I've got a few good size ones offshore trolling for yellow pickeral on Lake Erie in the summer, I think they would be hard to target other than the known spring runs as probably the schools seems to suspend offshore in deep water during the summer.
  6. This is probably my favourite live performance of all times, almost 42 years ago
  7. From what I gather the smaller Merc's are Tohatsus, with an inflated price tag. Anyone confirm?
  8. The 80's pretty much a void in the playlist of my life that spans 5 decades, of course there was one guy, I would give anything to have been down on Spadina this magical night sitting under the golden palms edit: OOPS that should have been "neon palms" think the mind is going
  9. At almost 61 quite a few things fit in that category. My first computer was a 386 with a whopping 127 MB. hard drive, no internet just a 2400 baud connection to a local BBS, paid $1700 for it too , now a 29 dollar mp3 player has way more memory. Fishfinders are a bargain, outfitting a salmon boat 30 years ago I bought the best there was, a Lowrance 1510B paper graph, paid more for it than a new HDS5 and it ate a 5 dollar roll of paper a weekend, the kicker used less in gas . TV's, pretty sure I paid over 300 for a new 20" portable in the late 70's and don't even think what a new VCR cost then Cable was only $8 a month, now there's a big ripoff Majour appliances are a deal, when I bought a house in 83 I bought new fridge stove washer dryer, basic units that could be replaced today for very close to what I paid. The house is another story, thank you real estate values Retired at 58, luckily I was able to save early in my worklife when you actually got decent interest rates, but if mortgage rates ever hit today what they were then, the banks would own half the homes in town. I feel for you young guys
  10. I watch prices and like quality too, some of the stuff I use Costco for Coffee- Kirkland Columbian, best coffee for the money Propane- 5 bucks cheaper than anywhere else Jeans- best jeans under 20 bucks Sunflower Seeds-I feed the black oiled sunflower in bird feeders 5 bucks cheaper than anywhere for 40 lbs Burgers- the 1/3 lb Kirkland frozen sirloin patties are handy and excellent Meat- more of a quality issue but sales are good Baked Goods- excellent in store bakery and prepackaged meals Photo shop- can't beat 15 cent prints and 29 cent 5x7's
  11. Go with only 2 downriggers and get a pair of wire diver rigs to make a 4 rod setup. Look at some good gunwale mounted rod holders, possible one of the track systems. Also, go with a second battery and the larger HDS7.
  12. Aren't eels an endangered species now or a species of concern and have a protected status?
  13. I listen to this a lot, best rendition of a Canadian classic, but then I like blues stuff the best
  14. Went to this this guy a couple of years ago, still watch this vid a few times a week in complete awe, IMHO the best player out there today, 1 man , six strings and you'd swear it was an orchestra at times. Like one commented the dynamics are insane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRxqYoZiYPU
  15. aren't the beaches here legally topless as well ?
  16. Not a small engine mechanic, but I think possibly the crankcase is over filled, 1/2 a litre is lot unless it was down quite a bit. I know my rototiller and any 4 stroke engine needs to be kept fairly level. Couple of time I hit a tough spot with the roto and it tried to tip and belched some smoke, was told oil from the crank got into the combustion chamber I'd check the dip stick on the crank and remove some, maybe a large syringe with a piece of small diameter hose to suck it out, don't tip it out.
  17. I support my local economy Forty Creek " Barrel Select " is excelllent.
  18. So what's the problem??? I've worn the same suit to every function requiring I get dressed up for the past 12 years, probably they'll stuff my corpse into when I croak
  19. That really sucks about the Cohos, having started salmon fishing back in the 70's before any good Chinook numbers and Cohos were the main prize, I have to say that always like them best for the table and a far better sport fish too once they entered the river to spawn.
  20. Now after seeing Dara's brackets utilizing the cleats, I would maybe go with them on the forward cleats, next to the front seat. Would relieve congestion at the back, a partner could set lines while you operated the motor and electronics, also a neck saver as the rods are in the same vision as steering the boat. Just keep the riggers opposite each other for tangling issues.
  21. I'm thinking pedestal bases on the rear deck, board across the back is out with a tller.
  22. Just seen that one of my top 10 fav guitarists has died at 58, formerly of " Thin Lizzy " but I was more in tune with his bluesy solo carreer after that, here is a fitting tribute , may your music live on Gary
  23. Done, still on one of the old unlimited Sympatico accounts I've had for 12/13 years, speed may not be the latest and greatest but what's the point of speed with ridiculously low caps, like a high horse power muscle car and a 2 gallon tank. From what I understand thesse old accounts will remain but for how long, if you got one and need the bandwidth don't let them talk you into a upgrade, you'll lose the bandwidth.
  24. Personally would never buy a welded boat, this has been a issue for a lot of years. Buddy bought a Crestliner welded hull 20 years ago, 16 foot open with a tiller 40, in 2 years it had developed multiple cracks in the material immediately adjacent to the welds. Welds themselves didn't crack but the material cracked lengthwise along the edge of the welds. He was a welder at one of the steel companies in Hamilton with tickets out the yingyang, too much heat if I recall is what he blamed.
  25. Sorry didn't catch the trailer
