  1. I have an older Hi8 camera as well, what I used to get it on a computer is one of these, BTW you go directly from the camera to the computer, no DVD recorder step. Also if you plug your old vcr into it, you can make digital copies of irreplaceable old VHS tapes as well http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress.htm edit: do to google snooping through recent searches on my PC , it threw this ad up on the forum header, looks like a more recent version of the ads type converter, does essentially the same thing in a lot smaller package without the need for a separate power supply. http://www.roxio.com/enc/products/easy-vhs-to-dvd/standard/overview.html?gclid=CKDdqePPwqMCFUf75wodhWCfcw
  2. I frequent the " Tractor Supply Company " TSC store here in town, they seem to have a lot of smaller trailers designed for garden tractors or ATV's I assume. Might be a good place to look.
  3. I think you'll be disappointed, that's only going to get you down 30'. You're fishing from a kayak if I recall. I'd run the lead core on a trolling outfit instead. The only decent home made riggers I ever saw were made by a very experienced 20+ years tool and die maker/ pattern maker with a milling machine, drill press, metal lathe and metal band saw in a home work shop. Even at that he used Big John pullies and scrounged his employer for quality materials. just sayin
  4. Starting out, I would go with something economical as you are probably going to start side casting and it gets twisted pretty fast and you'll need to respool. Limper lines are better for side casting, maybe Trilene XL or Ande would fit the bill here. Eventually I recommend highly you get into a Wallis or pull cast style, a stiffer line like Trilene XT or Maxima type lines are my prefernce at this stage of the game. These aren't the only lines you can use but indicative of the type of line you are looking for. Hope this helps.
  5. Quite a few lodges and resorts cater to hunters that time, maybe look for places that offer hunting packages in the fall once fishing is wound down. Think there's a few Kawartha, St Lawrence River and Lake St Clair resorts with duck hunting packages, might be a good bet.
  6. I'm not an electrician, but I have done 4 fan/light combos in my home, all with switches for the light, three were retrofitting an existing light fixture and one was a new installation in the middle of the living room when I got a gas fireplace. All are wired the same, so the fan is allways live to the pull chain and the light is switched by the light switch, the pull chain for it is left on. I would say what we need to do is identify the pair of wires that go to the light switch, is that possible ? is there attic access ? What I've done is connect the black from the switch alone to the blue light wire, I then put a black band with marker on the white wire from the switch for future reference at the fan electrical box, connect all your black wires and the black banded wire together and the white wires together , guess the ground doesn't come in play here as it is only a 2 wire circuit. That should take care of it if I understand the problem correctly. edit: I'm assuming the only wire going to the switch is the one dropped down a wall from the fan and there is not any run direct fron the fuse / breaker box.
  7. If you are getting power to the fuse panel, then maybe the buss strip connecting the individual fuse holders to the contacts that are connected to your battery have a problem, is it a copper trace on a board, maybe cracked?
  8. I don't carve myself but Dad has been a serious carver for about 30 years, slowing down now at 82. He has a very well equipped work area and has always showed off his latest new toy and latest piece of work His main interest is waterfowl and birds of prey and he is a long time member of Niagara Woodcarvers. Here is two links local to your area that would probably get you off on the right foot. a local club http://www.canadiannationals.net/gvwc.html#CLICK_ON_YOUR_CHOICE_OF_LINKS_BELOW_ and a business that appears to have most everything you would need to get started and even progress a long ways in the hobby http://www.chippingaway.com/
  9. I'm cheap. So it depends if you sidecast or wallis/pull cast. Sidecast works better with limper lines like Trilene XL , I pull cast and use the stiffer 10 lb XT Trilene, both available almost everywhere and at a bargain price.
  10. Do you want to run off one rod or separate rods?? I had luck in the past with this release when stacking a second rod, its quick to place anywhere on the cable http://www.roemerrelease.com/catalog.htm
  11. Something similar was my first thought as well, lot of people have spent time and money travelling only to have not done as well, gotta be sweet to have got those in the shadow of the CN Tower, bet there are much bigger ones as well given the access to deep water and that forage base. Well done
  12. These are clever little birds, might have been posted B4 http://www.wfn.tv/blog/WFN/406047/
  13. In my opinion, being a hunter where party hunting is legal and being of an age where party fishing was socially , traditionally, morally and legally acceptable at one time, this change in the regulations or enforcement of, not really sure if it was really technically legal but was overlooked as long as the headcount in the boat covered the fish on the stringer. It is one big mess!
  14. think I've got a couple, a skunk and a green one, they look like a flatfish kinda with bug eyes? $40 for the pair
  15. i'll take a wild guess at Randy Bachman
  16. What are you looking for?? I've been able to find digital copies of vinyl LP's that were never reissued as CD's. People have gone to the work of inputting a turntable into their soundcard. Most often they will be .flac files " free lossless audio codec" but they can be converted to mp3's if you want. Legal sites like Itunes tend to focus on new and popular stuff, the more obscure stuff always had better luck on the torrent sites.
  17. Very nice work, looks great I might of doubled up the clamps, one on each corner of the board could be a flexing problem, probably just over cautious on my part.
  18. I've run a pair of manuals attched to a board attached to the oarlocks of a cartopper while fishing remoter lakes in Haliburton, never an issue even with the shorter arm riggers. I'm sure you will be using something with arms longer than thosse little J arms we had, If that's what you want go for it.
  19. I actually have done better with fresher type baits. One thing to do with nightcrawlers is to take a needle and thread and run it through 4 or so crawlers and then wrap them on a hook so there is few loose ends, helps greatly with small stuff stealing the bait over time. Raw shrimps from the seafood counter are great as are traditional fish cut bait. Best however for me has been frogs, think you have to watch the species you use now, use them alive or dead and if they are too big, cut in half for 2 baits.
  20. Some artists are trade friendly and don't mind if fans tape performances and trade, believe the "Greatful Dead" were the first to do this with a taper's section in the audience back in the 70's. Couple of sites that have a lot of legal free downloadable music are: http://www.archive.org/details/etree http://wiki.etree.org/ There are other sites that use torrents that you have to be a member of to use the trackers, they also trade what are known as ROIO's, "recordings of independent origin". These are audience recordings of concerts, recordings of FM radio shows and even DVD's of TV specials, audience recordings and broadcast concerts that are not copyrighted or available commercially. As a member of quite a few of these let me recommend Dimeadozen The Trader's Den Lossless Legs HungerCity and Pure Live Gigs google should put you to the Homepage of these sites should you wish to go this far and join Going to commercial and copyrighted material, I have had issues with the previously mentioned Pirate Bay, not with a virus in the actual downloaded material, but some of the banners, pop ups and ads seem to have issues with them, BEWARE!!!! I would try Demonoid.com first, don't seems to have the same issues there, it is a member site as well but will let you download recent uploads without membership. Hope this helps you or anyone else interested in music.
  21. ditto on the House Finch, males are similar but look like their head and shoulders were dipped in raspberry jello. they are quite common.
  22. Ditto on the Safari / Astro, I'd replace mine with a new one in a heartbeat if they still made them Tows my stuff well ( up to 3000 lbs.), lots of room for gear if you take one of the rear seats out, will handle all your kiddy seats and even the best one on the used lot today should be in your price range. Got a 97 with only 122,000K on it , keeping it till it dies, never had a majour issue with it.

  24. Thickest I ever saw then was in Stoco Lake, fished there for Musky back when a chum was in the air force based in Trenton. Pods and pods were visible at high speed motoring just hanging lazily just under the surface.
  25. D ) would look great with T-Top over it for those hot sunny days PS. don't get a bimini attached to the gunwales like I did, totally defeats the open.... walk either side of the console when fighting a fish.
