  1. Thanks guys, kind of helps. Yea Roy, Now you Know why Im always concerned with Gas. Like alot of members already mentioned, We Canadians have it different because we are so vast. You should see SK. If I move I will pass two towns in 67 kms. The majority is Indian Reservations and farmland, mainly cattle. Yes gas is a concern, but Ive kind of kept that as part of the equation. Ill save $1400 a month by being morgage free. Gas will take a chunk, especially the way its going. So I bought a small car.
  2. I am thinking of selling my house and moving out of The North Battleford City to a small town 67 kms North. The advantage would be that it would leave me Morgage free, small town cheaper on Taxes. Another advantage is it would cut my weeknd trips to my fishing Trailer by 40 minutes to 1hr 45 mins. The disadvantage is that my wife works in the City and I in a resort town on the way to the city. In essance, it would take me 30 minutes to work, vice twenty and my wife 40 minutes vice 5 minutes, but we can car pool it. Basically Im cutting out my morgage entirely instead of waiting two years. We figure we could have a similar if not nicer house. Just wondering if you guys would make the same decision, or some experiences. Kids are not involved.
  3. Ive heard this over and over how a Mercury is nothing but an Anchor. So he wants to make it in China, the same people that floods the Dollar store and made those pair of pliers that bent on the jaws when I removed a hook. I think its time we stopped buying cheap worthless crap from the Chinese. The Reliability or lack of it from a Chinese Merc Built engine may not change, But I BET ANYONE HERE, despite cheap labour, THE PRICE WILL NOT GO DOWN HERE IN CANADA, but other parts of the world it will be more affordable. Too many greedy hands by the time it hits a CANADIAN CONSUMER.
  4. Then YOU can pay the extra Tax and whatever else is extra.
  5. Regina used more power than normal. I have no Idea why
  6. Hey, Ive been out of school for years. But, I was around the last time Oil and gold went up. Even 20 plus percent Mortgage rates. Here is the Scoop, when the Economy is Good, all your fascist do good-er Environmentalist come out of the wood work to preach, and all the lemmings follow suit. But, when the Economy is doing poorly, the environmentalists are quiet, but for sure the lemmings are nowhere to be found as they are concerned with their own problems. My take is this, like KYOTO, this carbon tax, conserve energy, or what ever else that would be nice for the Environment, will wear off soon, especially in Ontario and East as they are in for some tough times ahead. By the way, if anybody cares, for some reason, Regina used more power this Saturday than they did last Saturday. My feeling is they don't care. Lets face it, why should they sacrifice when they don't use near the power as most Ontario southern Cities. We, No, I don't care about the so called Global warming or whatever. All its going to do is cost us more to live. We had our primeminister here in Estavan lo0oking at some plant that is going to curb Carbon emmissions telling the reporters. BE PREPARED TO PAY MORE FOR ENERGY BECAUSE IT WILL COST MORE FOR REDUCING> GUESS WHAT GAS WENT UP THE NEXT DAY
  7. Oh Brother, who art thou
  8. Im proud to say that I pulled a Griswold. Not only did I have my TV on, Beer Fridge in full gear, I even strung up some Xmas lights for good measure. Reason being, unlike sheep, there is no advantage to this David Suzuki recommended exercise. Im not tripping over drinking beers and watching the game in the Dark because he says so. I see no advantage in this exercise of futility. Prices will still go up. W'e would be better off boycotting fuel prices, by the way which went up again here. Why don't you guys boycott toilet paper for a day, as cutting trees contributes to the destruction of the Earth. Yup my trailer was well lit up in Big River SK Last night.
  9. Jean Guy toughguy better watch he doesnt catch some wierd disease in them waters
  10. Never called him a loser, might of told him to bear it, like everyone else, and straightened him up with his ref Money going to Iraq instead of the Roads in Ontario. As far as poor drivers, Being from Quebec, driving in Europe, and living in Ontario- The GTA has the one of the worst drivers that I have ever seen. Now, for my point to you- What are you trying to accomplish. The good samaritan award. So what happened to that thread of the angry outburst. I just had to lay it out when he actually believed money would be better of for his highway than an non existent war in Iraq in which he believed we were in. We Canadians have enough problems than some Naive person cooking up a story. Just giving you my reason for what I said as obviously I was not able to defend myself as I had to work.
  11. Dont let it fool you, just go to Europe
  12. Thats the problem I hear too often--I dont speaken English Theres alway an excuse heh
  13. But its a guy dressed as a women Shes a man--Hes a woman
  14. Yup, Really good points. There is one saying that will haunt me forever my old man used to always tell me You will never miss the water till the well runs dry so true

  16. Upper reaches have excellent brook trout fishing, around the 400, you need a topo to find the pools
  17. I did hear that Canadians gas is measured at temperatures lower than the States. So.... Our Litre is really less than a litre. Another Gouge for the Companies
  18. Only one problem with Charlie Wray, he is a walking ,talking advertisement for Seagar, St Croix, and OKuma. As a matter of fact, he is so bad, its aggravating
  19. Gad about Gaddis THE FLYING FISHERMAN
  20. Thanks, I do have a heart, next time Ill read the link instead of looking only at the Video without the background music.
  21. I really don't know about this one. I really hope that the competitors are only doing it for their loved ones. I really hate to think that they will start an international disable with non disable teams. For Pete's sake if they are make sure the rules are for the Disabled and it is an Immediate Family affair.
  22. Daiwa Crystal that CCT used to sell in bulk spools. Havent seen any since they went with spider line which Im not a fan of
  23. Or the Military. You can always move. Mayor of Oshawa told the Priemier of Sask that he would like his unemployed people work here for a week then go home on weekends. We like the Idea here because we need the workers, but I dont think its practical. Its not Fort McMurray yet
  24. Mary Seeman, and then there was Vladamere Agupoo (pronounced ag-u-poo) in High school. What a Nerd.
