Sounds similar to what the wife picked up last week, " XP Defender" wouldn't let you go anywhere, couldn't get AVG to run, wanted you to go somewhere and get a program to remove a so-called virus it had found. I put "Malwarebytes " on a dvd for her and it got rid of it, would try getting hold of Malwarebytes and running it.

I'd say keep it, that's what I'm doing. Got a 97 GMC safari, just turned 120k. I really don't know what to get, Safari with all the seats will move a lot of people, no seats a large volume of gear and with the rear wheel drive , frame and 4.3L it tows well for my 2200 lb. rig. Was real sorry when they dropped it, met my needs really well without a huge sticker price of a SUV.

I reload, need to to get every last bit of accuracy out of a rig. Really the 220 Swift ammo is pretty readily available at most gun shops, but don't expect to find it at Canadian Tire or Walmart here. The tricky one to get is the 218 Bee, with a #1 the best option is to handload as the only ammo made for it is flat tipped bullet stuff suitable for use in tubalar magazines of old Winchester lever guns for which it was originally designed. The #1 allows the use of more efficient spitzer bullets and you can load up to a bit more velocity than what the old lever guns would allow. As a teenager in the 60's I could walk into the local hardware store and come out with a gun and ammo without any ID, do I feel any safer now with the bureacracy and paper work, NOT IN THE LEAST. The original poster should pick up a Ruger 10-22 in .22 rimfire. Fun gun for the money and lots of cool aftermarket stuff.

They are my favourite too, Bob. Got a stablemate to that one, M77 6MM Rem bull barrel with an old Weaver T-16 on it, year newer, 1976 with the " Made in the 200th Year of the American Liberty" stamped into the barrel markings. Shot a lot of chucks with it, liked it so much I added another M77 , again in 6MM with a sporter barrel for a coyote rifle, then a M77 in 30-06 for big game and still another bull barrel this time in the .220 Swift, continuing with my fondness for Rugers, I'd always admired the No.1 single shot so added a .218 Bee in one of those. Can't have too many varmint rifles, as Warren Page, a benchrest shooting pioneer used to say " the only interesting rifle, is an accurate rifle" or something very similar.

I've been drinking Carling " Ice " now for over ten years, best of the $28 brands in my opinion. You want skunky, buy Labatt's "Blue "or as it used to be called Pilsner back when a " Blue " was a Molson's "Old Stock Ale" and Labatt's 50 Ale was a number 1 seller.

Great post, great fish, interesting read. Years ago did a lot of father/ sons with my dad, both hunting and fishing. Best trips of my life. Croton Dam? coincidentally, 50 years ago this opener my first steelheading trip was with my dad as a youngster a few kilometres down from another Croton Dam. I got a couple of pansized fish and dad got a single bow of about 6 1/2 pounds. That became our opening day trip for quite a few years together.

Getting a new PC in a week, well actually my wife's old one, duo core with 2 gig ram, got tired of waiting on this old celeron piece of crap and opened the wallet for a new one for her, I5-750. Might even try one of the other browsers when I get a hold of it, not really worth the effort at this time, every update lately has seemed to drag it down even slower. Taking your suggestion under future consideration, thanks.

It is IE7 and I use Sun java, it is the most current update, 03/22/10, went to the Sun site, nothing more current.

I get something similar on occasion, here is a screen shot

Personally, if a guy cleaned up a mess of sunfish and saved the heads to use on a circle hook for channel catfish bait, I would not have a problem with it. I would hope that any warden that caught a guy doing just that would let it slide and if it was technically illegal, just a warning to not do it again. To charge a guy in this instance the CO is just being an

Thanks for the explanation, I actually do carp fish a bit, caught several various stages of mirrors, just assumed due to the fact that it was fully scaled it really couldn't be called a mirror.

A fully scaled mirror?? I am clearly confused

Following this logic, I guess using the roe of salmon and trout for fishing is illegal too.

Twenty Mile Creek up around Jordan might be a good bet, bit of a drive. Same thing though, probably bows in there now and people would be suspicious.

Does appear to be a dying flutter or a copy. I don't collect but have a lot of hand me downs from my dad dating back into the 40's, at 60 I remember a lot of them myself. Here is probably a link to one of the most extensive collections online. http://www.mrlurebox.com/index.html Another link, although I don't think yours is of local manufacture, is interesting as it shows a lot of locally produced baits. http://ontariolures.com//index.html you might be able to track it down from these.

They used to market light bulbs for rural locations that handle higher line voltages. Power company typically has higher voltages on the lines in rural areas due to line loss between widely spaced customers. Might help if everything else checks out.

No, I don't use loop knots for attaching lures where they may make a difference. I prefer to use an appropriate Duo-lock snap without a swivel.

I'm not too fussy on brands, I take about 3 cans, dice an onion real fine, tablespoon of molasses, table spoon dijon mustard, chop up some weinies, mix it all in a casserole dish and bake in the oven. Worth the extra time.

I get an email from them , usually Friday with the Sunday Concert Schedule, will watch if there is something that suits my taste in music. Sign up online for the email, no spam from them either.

There used to be a saying about March " In like a lion , out like a lamb In like a lamb, out like a lion " Lion is warming up his vocal chords, the roar is coming.

Grackles hit the bird feeders 2 days ago, yesterday bunch of robins looking for worms and stuff under the dead leaves in the yard.

There up to $24 now if you have any more friends http://cgi.ebay.ca/New-Float-Reel-Centre-P...=item4a9c70d87e Guess " Stubla " is Russian for Osprey Love the warning " Beware of cheap imitations "

Fine Russian craftmanship

Yeah , what Drifter said, but if you like to collect old, Ontario made pins perhaps They were made by D&M in Milton, here is a few pics I found that the links still work http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/Sag...ter/Osprey1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/Sag...ter/Osprey3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/Com.../CIMG0536sm.jpg

I'd give some thought to maybe going to something in the 10 1/2 foot class. My "go to" rod for that location fishing live bait is an old Loomis lower modulus graphite 10 1/2 foot 8 wt. fly rod blank built up as a spinning rod. It is a relatively slow action that I prefer for casting softer baits, I just hate it when the bait and the line land in 2 different places, and the longer length is nice as usually in the faster runs I find it better to drift the bait under a float like steelheading, the length makes the handling of a float and longer leader easier. Just make sure it is one of the slower action rods for bait fishing, there are some faster action ten and half rods more designed for West Coast Steelheading, they are great for pitching heavy Cleos and hardware off a pier but not the lighter cast for live bait.
