Great solo for sure. But for me, the best guitarist in the world by far is David Gilmour. Im in awe listening to his stuff. Check out his DVD or Pink Floyds Live DVD. Just awesome -
Trailer wheel bearing question - solved
holdfast replied to Fisherpete's topic in General Discussion
I worked in an trailer shop for a short spell and was taught to put alot of grease in your left palm amd with your right hand grasp your bearing with your thumb and forefinger and tap that bearing in your palm. You will see grease being forced into the bearing. Force the grease in each bearing. When you tighten the nut, there should be absolutly no resistance. When it spins no wobble. Now that you changed a bearing. ALWAYS Carry one extra set of bearings. Cheaper than calling a tow truck. For me it seems I change bearings more often than tires. -
Sorry Cliff I dont buy this stuff in the Link. ( writer might even have oil stocks) I can tell ya that gas stations are in colusion. Proof when on the radio two years ago a rumour was gas was being risen in Toronto 18 cents. I watched 3 gas stations in Angus raise their prices and when I confronted the manager that was pumping my gas he said that he got a call from the district manager. After me price went up to the dissapointment of the line up behind me. Guess what. It was a rumour only and their price dropped by half. I dont give up easy. Also getting the public angry may force the politions to do something. Maybe something like what Taliban Jack proposed a few days ago. Sorry no spell check

Here is the problem with this human rights crap. I a Muslim complains to the human rights that I feel violated because someone wrote something about us (Fact or fiction). I dont have to pay a cent its paid by you and me. But I the accused must pay out of my pocket for a Lawyer. This is a usless waste of my money for something that could be solved face to face or fist to fist. Or suck it up Muffins and welcome to life. -
Well I believe demand has gone down instead of up. People are buying smaller cars and SUVs are selling more. However gas still keeps going up. If you look at the cost of gas per Barrel which has always been a guide line, we should be paying 91 cents. Government is doing nothing. This is a monopoly thats profiting Billions of dollars and its going into someones pockets besides the government. If we Boycott Esso lets say, it will show the people and government that we do not want to be suckers. Im not saying Esso will hurt, because they will only say if you do that, itll drive prices up. But well say that enough is enough. In case you didnt know, thanks to the barrel being low it will be less revenue for the West, Central Canada and government. But for me and you with gas so high it hits our pockets. Gerrit, you are lucky that you get paid for your gas. Not all of us are so lucky. I may have to pull out of the reserves because our milage doent pay for these prices as I travel twice a week to Saskatoon to make 20 dollars an hour as a reservist. Not worth it financially. This is killer because we Canadians travel long distances to work and distribute goods. How many Billions you ask did the oil companies profit? From now on since all gas stations are the same price, I will skip all Esso stations. This is the best I can do from my end here. Still waiting for a candidate to show up at my door. Start the Rumours on the Radios, letters to the Editer, to your groups, put a sign up beside a candidates sign that Esso is being Boycotted as a random pick. Enough is enough

Im looking to sign up with a person that has some drive and determination to start a Boycott at a particular gas station. One day isnt going to cut it but maybe a few weeks. Obviously he will need some public connections. Oh, for the guys that say it aint going to work, Ill keep in mind that maybe you have something in stake. The very least we need public attention. Although prices have trickled down, Its going to happen again. Im onboard with anybody that is willing to give it a try. Yea its fishing related because I have to drive to fish, let alone work. Im in

Ours went down a whooping 2 cents. Am I the only one that would love to see these thieves kicking to catch their last breath on earth as they are being lynched. Just like the weasel that steals most of the change but leaves a bit in the jar thinking nobody will notice. Heres something to consider. By the time you take the taxes and the tar and so on from one Barrel of oil your left what is made for gas which brings it about a decimal point over. Meaning a barrel is 93 Dollars we shoud be paying 93 cents. Not scientific but in the past it worked out that way.

Maybe Cracker figures nobody will Bite back. Problem with people like that, when it comes to the environment, they think they have all the answers and theyre Gods children. Just Tunnel visions and a head like a cement block.

You may want to buy stocks else where or get out when you smell a downfall due to fraud. Just like the Morgage companies in the USA, Greed will only last so long before the market falls but it could be years. The way I look at it , the increase in gas is the same decrease in my pension because I need gas to get to work to live, and heat my home in winter. The only thing that will hit them is a long term boycott at one of the pumps and I would start at Petro Can for several weeks. Yea I know some of the owners may loose their buisness, but something has to be done. It has to be long term. Yea Mc Teague figures a decress today. Betcha it will be less than the storm increases or figures per barrel comparism as early summer. Yea its fishy how he predicts 1.50 and sure enough its there. Fraud I say and its criminal, We'd be in jail if we dealt with people like this.

Pull the Knives out of our backs. Gas in SK $147.9. It spiked to 134.9 a Day before labour Day and the New Orleans Hurricane. Then it Spikes to 147.9 for the texas hurricane which is 45 cents a gallon while texas spikes 5 cents and the USA average of 5 or 6 cents. They insist that we reach $1.50 as televised. So a Barrel is less than $97 and we have the highest gas prices in History. Time we and the Government did something. I KNOW ONE THING, I DONT CARE WHAT PARTY HE MAY BE FROM BUT IF I SEE A CANDIDATE AND HE BEATS AROUND THE BUSH I SWEAR I WILL EMBARRASS HIM. Time for this criminal Mafia monopoly stop. I have less and less in my pocket. They may say we're not in a recession. Then We're in a depression. (Sorry no spell check)

Why dont you put all your efforts into the Gas issue. Its ruining my sustainment and quality of life. As far as cottages or whatever your worried about, not on my list of bullets for the next candidate that is brave enough to ask for my vote. Rather see these monkeys do something to these criminals that have a monopoly on us. Seems we got hit harder by the hurricanes than Texas and New Orleans. Texas Gas went up 5 cents a gallon. Canada 45 cents and that doesnt count for the spike of the Hurricane that wasnt ( Oil Production) in New Orleans. This hurts my family the worst.

Never heard of eating or netting sturgeon in my lifetime. Should of never mentioned the Sturgeon. Now Im curious. As far as the Pike, witnessed my Buddy catching a 26lb Pike below the Lachine Rapids in Mtl. When he cleaned it , it had a 3lb Brown trout. Imagine the St lawrence River.

Wow that was awesome Cliff, Hazel has the perfect voice for that song. Rock on -
Yea I seen the Documentary too sometime in June just around the same time as Mr Dressup's( AKA Puffins) Carbon Tax announcement ,Ill tell ya the Biggest waste of money is the Liberal Biased CBC that weening you people especially when they wont even keep the National Hockey theme. Wouldn't hurt us up here if we used our taxes for better things than paying for that useless TV station.. By the way lets keep Politics out of here, there will be more of this environmental Crap during the elections no Doubt from your CBC. Of note, The CBC Special did mention that the lakes were remote and the only way in was by Bush Plane. Sorry Mr Pilot but Natural resources are important to our economy. RambleON, why bring up this now? For your information, some of these projects were started before the minority government were elected, as you know the opposition would be AWOL if debated, regrettedly my taxes apparently feeds them.

The day before Labour Day weeknd Gas here Spiked 9 cents to 139.9. Of Course the Hurricane was on its way to New Orleans. Well oil was being reduced daily and now its near $100. But our Gas went down 2 Cents to 137.9. This should be the Campaign issue but it ain't, something has to be done to control this fraud.

Yup Sep 11 changed my life for two reasons 9/11 and the year before my Mom passed away Sep 11 I remember I was in Petawawa on Top of a Truck getting a Cam net ready for an Exercise and looking down at a Soldier that was excited saying the World trade centres were under attack. The Next Day the Commanding Officer had the whole Unit on Parade and told us that the Canadian Military was on Red Alert and he was awaiting Orders from the Brigade Commander who Happened to be General Hilliar. Incidentally, In 1981 we were doing on the job training in Wainwright AB before we would be shipped out to Chilliwack for our Engineer Course right after recruiting when a fellow mate told us an Interesting fact. He happened to be doing his Basic Infantry course with the PPCLI Battle School in Wainwright and relayed what he was taught that Day. He said that his Instructor told them that the greatest threat to Canada and the Canadian Military would be Terrorism. Who would think that, when, we were still in the Middle of the Cold War. It freaked all us kids and freaks me out to this day.

Better Buy a Hockey bag and rent a Caddy for all that stuff

Is this Politicial or is it what we love to do?
holdfast replied to jedi jeffi's topic in General Discussion
Unfortunately water Hydraulic energy is clean and relatively safe and is something that Canada has an abundance of. We all rely on it. So what are the other options? Coal and Nuclear power. Forgot about the Windmills. I was up in a helicopter and I can tell ya that they are unsightly. Hopefully the governments are smart enough to weigh in the factors. IE electricity or a persons recreational activity. -
Well one thing is for sure. When they opened the locks and great Lakes to shipping, I don't think anybody was thinking about how it would change our Environment

By any chance did this happen in Borden. If so and I knew the Guy. Anyhow the person I knew I didnt know he had done time in Jail, but definitely got the boot. Incidentally his wife was an MP who he had met in jail previously. If we,re talking about the same person
