Aint she a honey

Had to replace my gas rental because of leak. 20+ years old.

It was vented thru the chimney as was furnace. I was told new code was a stainless chimney liner would be needed. $600

End of the day, went with a purchace. Vented thru the wall. Also replaced furnace.

First year, water heated needed service. Electronics. Fixed under warranty.

Problem is, newer appliances are more complicated and more problematic, though more efficient.

Kinda like a four stroke outboard. More fuel efficient. More yearly service. Either way you pay

What I and the mrs want,is above and beyond what ole saint nick can give us.

 

Someday

`

I know a good stork

why did the chicken cross the road?

to show the skunk that you can

Baitcaster the only way to go for heavy baits. Faster, easier. Way more casts in a day.

It is beyond me how guys can cast a 1/4 oz jig with one

Hard to feel sorry for guys who need to live on the edge like that

Hi Guys. Some advice please.

Had a similar problem with my rear wheel drive Safari van.

Trying to stop at the end of an icey driveway, the 4Runner wouldn't stop even with antilock working.

I popped it into neutral and that seemed to help.

Is this a rear wheel drive problem? The rear wheels still push, at idle, in "drive" when brakes are applied?

Would putting into 4WD help?

thanks, peter

I hear the MNR is seeing less and less fishing licenses bought every year

You da man!

Those pictures are killin me.

Good work for sure

Always better to fish with a buddy. But people are busy and often can't commit.

Fishing alone is like kissing your sister

21-27 days is prime beef aging range.

 

Kobe and Certified Angus (certified is not the crap you buy at Sobey's marked 'black angus') are aged this long which is one third the reason for their incredible flavour and tenderness. Even how the cow is slaughtered will have an effect on the meat. It's little known but halal slaughter methods actually do produce a more tender cut in the end.

 

HOWEVER a grass fed cow will always produce a better marble and overall flavour if slaughtered and hung the same as a corn fed cow, that's just fact. They can both turn out pretty good though.

 

Grass fed beef can be grade F to Canada Prime in rating.

 

Corn fed never goes higher than AAA.

Cattle not fed grain for the last 3+ months before slaughter have very little marbling and fat cover. They can't eat enough grass and hay alone to fatten up. They need grain or corn silage to fatten. Aging the meat after slaughter is key. The carcass loses about 5% of weight/week of hanging. Supermarkets don't age meat at all. To much $ loss. That's why supermarket meat is hit and miss in terms of tenderness. A good butcher would be a better choice but you will pay more. Costco always has tender steak but they, as well as many supermarkets, mechanically tenderize their steak. This is controversial. CBC's Marketplace did a show last year on this topic. Mechanically tenderizing with a machine that punctures the loin, from which steaks are cut, potentially pushes E. Coli from the surface(where it is easily killed by heat) to the centre. Unless the steak is cooked well, there is risk of disease. For the same reason, Guys, never eat ground beef unless well done. Surface germs are mixed into the centre thru grinding. In a non mechanically tenderized piece of meat, germs on the outside are detroyed even if the meat is rare in the middle.

 

How is raising them on a concrete floor covered in bedding any different than dirt? I've had the pleasure of catching some huge turkeys and it sure was interesting each time...

It's complicated but worms that live in the ground carry the disease (Histomoniasis). Not sure why wild turkeys don't seem to get it.

Domestic turkeys are a unique breed that are bred specifically for the table. Their breast meat is so large, they cannot mate naturally.

The male can't reach. So if your kid doesn't know what they want to do with their lives, there's always a carrier as a Turkey BREEDER.

Looking to buy a decent rod/reel for my nephews for Christmas.

Want a solid open face spinning reel and a bombproof rod likely no more than 6 ft.

I'm a Shimano guy so likely will buy one of them but not necessarily..

I hear the Ugly Sticks are pretty tough

Trying to stay under $100 for combo

Any suggestions?

There are no steroids used in poultry. Antibiotics yes, in commercially raised birds.. They are needed to keep the mortality low due to the overcrowding and less than sanitary conditions in barns with thousands of birds. The farmer must with hold the meds for a specifiic period of time before slaughter so they can be eliminated from the meat. Birds are raised using intensive farming methods because the consumer won't pay what it would cost farming the old fashioned way.

Anabolic steroids(legal) are implanted under the skin of the back of the ear in fattened beef cattle. These cattle grow a little faster -perhaps 1%. The profit margin for the farmer is so slim, if he doesn't use them, he makes no money. The amount of steroid found in the meat you eat is microscopic in amount and has no know impact on you based on typical consumption. They are however, banned in Europe

In the US, most dairy cows are injected with Bovine Growth Hormone regularly. This has been studied to death and was found to be safe.

This hormone is banned here in Canada.

I am very familiar with current farming practices and chose not to purchase "organic" meat. For me the extra cost is not worth the tiny(perhaps) benefit.

We have an incredible inspection process. Modern medicines used in farming are highly regulated and tested.

There is more risk in the saturated fat in the beef you eat(if you eat a lot), than any medication that could be found therein.

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as "free range" turkeys. They are raised indoors in climate contolled barns on concrete. They are highly susceptible to a deadly disease when raised on dirt. (Blackhead).

no experience with a float jacket but have 2 Salus sailing/kayaking life jackets.

they are excellent. made in Canada .....but not cheap

Thanks JD. Yup need a licence to fish the ocean shore

Thanks Guys. Didn't think you needed a licence to fish salt water?

A buddy of mine says you can catch a variety of stuff from shore.

Anybody know how and where?

thanks, Peter

 

Hope you got that taken care of Paul

Hardwood or softwood?

Never heard of Seven Marine

keep an eye on Kijiji

nice to see a healthy walleye population up there

Same as Lew, I use yami filters and yami lube. So what, it might cost say even 30.00 more. Money well spent in my opinion.

Agreed.

Might be a bit more than $30 but not near as much as taking the Mrs out to dinner, once.

I like this website.

Gives water levels on the Trent and the various watersheds
