  1. Anything DSL/ADSL is owned by bell at the end of the day. They have a monopoly on the telephone lines that we the public paid to build. Bell is the scum of the earth. That's just my two cents.

     

    If you can go cable, do it. I use Cogeco for internet and use VOIP (primus) for telephone. You can't even compare the speed of cable to DSL... its not fair.

     

    I just can't wait till we get fiber! Damn yankies are ahead of the game... I will always blame the CRTC for us being behind in communications technology...

  2. We had a PST auditor in the office last week and he told me that HST will not affect gasoline prices.

     

     

    Gasoline/Diesel

    Current Tax : 5%

    Tax after change : 13%

     

    Dara whats the name of your auditor. I'd love to tell his supervisors hes lying to people or has no idea what hes talking about. And shame on your for believe something without looking it up for yourself.

  3. About 30-50 cents a pound, I use a lot at work and usually get about $150/month from scrapping them.

     

    Whats $150 worth of batteries look like Dan... I'm now interested... What about like power supply batteries and things like that? or is this just AAA, AA batteries you are recycling...

     

    Because I know I could collect tons... My work pays people to take them away lol.

  4. Hazardous Waste Materials Day has it!

     

    Check your local trash collection leaflet for the dates in your area. (2010 should of come to you recently)

     

    I like to leave them around my house randomly so when I'm out of batteries and on the hunt... I at least entertain myself for a while.

     

    *Yes I found one* *damn its dead* *puts back where he found*

     

    :wallbash:

  5. Went out late afternoon to leak test my "new" boat. Went really well... only one tiny leak. While me and my buddy were lugging it into the water his daughter was pointing to the water saying "fishy". I look to my left at the little creek assuming there's a tad pole. Nothing, I'm like wheres the fish? She points out to the lake again, I'm like OHHHHHHHHH jeeze!

     

    Seriously there were over a hundred that I could count in a matter of seconds...

     

    Now are they coming into spawn? The area I was at the water was fairly shallow. Do they feed when they are in this close freaking out?

     

    They were just slapping each other almost... not sure exactly.

     

    There was this one that came right up to shore...like less than a foot from shore. I went over by it, stayed COMPLETELY still until I walked away and it took off like a bat out of hell. Huge swells of water as it took off.

     

    I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to catch one of these guys... If so.. what bait would I use. Its ALL slop (probably the reason they were surfacing (just hitting seaweed everywhere else).

     

    Here is a video of just one of the MANY swarms I saw :

    And here's what the whole area looks like :

    How would you even being to fish this area? Would it be a waste of time (the skeeters are horrible in this area lol)?

  6. Oops......!!!

     

    TC1OZ... no slight intended ...! my apologies if I have offended you.. believe me that was NOT the intention!~

     

    As someone here was suggeting the West Arm bridge on Hwy.64 is a great place to catch walleyes (and it is)... I just wanted to take this ... opportunity to remind "all people" ... not to leave garbage under the bridge...

     

    I am constanly picking up pop cans, beer bottles, plastic minnonw bags and other junk left by people fishing under this bridge...

     

    And in general more people will mean more mess...!

     

    It is fine to encourage people to fish from shore.. and the bridges of the West Arm ... or for that matter anywhere else...

     

    But the fact is a certain number of people leave a lot of garbage (from time to time) under our bridge... and it gives everyone fishing there a bad name...!

     

    So please do not be offended here... but embrace the message...!

     

     

    the cap't :Gonefishing:

     

    No problem, just seemed more like an attack out of left field than a topic of discussion lol.

     

    I don't post much about it on this forum, but a few of my local hot spots are near Tim Hortons... And I've been doing a lot of roll up collection this time of year... and funny how they are all losers? I have a feeling people keep the winners... But I feel the same as you, it wasn't there to begin with, shouldn't be left there.

     

    Good point, I agree with you 100%, but I'm sure that if you read it now you'll see why I was confused. :whistling:
