  1. My daughter, TheBigKid, has been driving seniors around Etobicoke for a while on a volunteer basis. They love her, of course (who wouldn't), and they become quite attached to each other as many of these folks have no appreciable support from other people.

     

    Then they die. That is the thing that is the real cost of this kind of work. You gotta know that going in, and work your brain around to the place that says you were there for them when they needed someone most.

     

    Good Luck, FisherGirl. We need more folks like you. Thanks.

  2. Oh, Fire and Brimstone fer chrissakes! Drift crawlers, small spinners, goop under floats, I have no idea, really. Cast to beaver dams with small floating raps, twitch em. Small bucktails with a bitta woim. Inflated worm off an egg sinker. Somethings gotta work. Wet fly on a dropshot rig. Minnow under a slip float. Somebody stop me.

     

    Sin no more my son.

  3. I think that the Garmin 76CSX is tops. A compass sensor, expandable memory, large colour screen, submersible, floats.

     

    Put a 1 GB micro sd card, and you can hold the topo map of Canada at 1:50,000. You still need to buy (or borrow) the map, but the map is incredible. You can try out the map at http://www.garmin.com/cartography/mapSource/topoCanada.jsp. There is a link in the upper right part of the page that loads an applet that lets you pan and zoom all over the place. Compare it to Google Maps, and it's bang on, but with elevation data added, and much higher resolution in remote places. I like the idea of a road map of Canada, everything, on this little handheld gizmo.

     

    I'm sure you'd be happy with either the Lowrance or the Garmin, but I bought the Garmin. GPSCity out of Calgary has the best prices, no PST. Check them out for either receiver.
