After trying all kinds of tie down straps, I finally bit the bullet and installed a set of stainless steel Boat Buckle retractable transom tie downs . They are not cheap but the best tie downs I have ever used, no more fumbling and readjusting every time. I kick myself for not Getting them earlier .

I use super lube full synthetic grease with PTFE I service my own reels and never have a problem with super lube grease

I have bought them at BPS in the past

Procter Marine in Simcoe is the best boat dealer I have ever dealt with, They carry Crestliner boats.

My old Normark scale finally gave up the ghost ( it was a lier from day one ) I see the usual run of the mill brands every where like Berkely, Rapala etc, I need a reliable scale with good quality, What you good folks recommend ? Thanks in advance

We have a winner !!! This should shut up all those annoying reporters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwJ5fIQsiqw

Love looking a kids photos in different cultural outfits, She is cute, and you must be a proud father .

Genius !! I like it

Our deepest sympathies to you and family Wayne. Rest in peace Jen ! Your fight and courage is an inspiration for many !!

I am lost for words , Our thoughts and prayers are with Jen .

^ ^ What he said, Some good deals on used portable honda generators on kijiji

You're very lucky to have neighbors like that ! They look a bit disappointed . You killed their breakfast

I have had much better service from Mike's. They also stock a lot more parts and accessories, power handles. Upgrade kits like better bearings and drag washers, I can look it up on their website before ordering,

Mike's Reel Repair in BC is also an authorized service centre with awesome customer service. Some times it is cheaper to pay shipping on small items from BC than to drive to Aikman in Mississauga.

Daiwa never had good customer service in Canada, Lately it is non existent, I don't even see their booth at the fishing show any more. Your best bet is Aikman for Daiwa parts.

Very happy with Cabela's Guidewear GoreTex bibs and parka, it has kept me completely dry in some real nasty weather.

Glad you're OK Lew, Could have been a lot worst. now go and blast those nasty buggers

I use Nikwax Tech wash on my Cabela's Guidwear Goretex rain suite, works great.

Thanks for the heads up !! Well said Old Ironmaker.

X2 ?

Are you sure 13 is the pitch ? Sounds like diameter to me

Lot of Lures, yes I don't know about a Ranger, ?

Wishing your son a speedy recovery,

Careful with Lennox, they have a line of furnace with aluminum heat exchanger, not durable. No experience with York residential stuff but their rooftop stuff is POS

Steve, I don't have any body I can recommend in your area, I am a licensed HVAC mechanic (commercial) with 35 years in this trade, I don't do residential, sorry. I am not well versed on makes of residential HVAC equipment but I work and talk to people who install/repair residential A/C & furnace on daily bases, one thing I can tell you, it is very important that installation should be done by a licensed HVAC mechanic with good experience and reputation, equipment's make, model, warranty does not mean much if the equipment was not installed properly, A good mechanic will have good workmanship, piping practices like brazing and evacuating the lines (very important), equally important is a well maintained vacuum pump. contamination in the system is one of a major cause of premature equipment failure, proper electrical and thermostat hookup, proper sheet metal work right down to running the condensate drain, A simple example is roofing, A 25 year shingle warranty means squat if the roof is not done right. The reason it feels like a scam because there are too many fly by night "artists" installing A.C and furnaces. no different than any other trade. There is a reason you have to go through 5 years of apprenticeship to get your ticket. A higher price doesn't always reflect higher quality of work, BUT at the same time, "GOOD" and "CHEAP" shouldn't be used in a same sentence when it comes to tradesmen, a good tradesman deserves to make a decent living. I wouldn't install Goodman in my house. Trane and Keeprite are also not what they used to be, lots of bad reviews, If you have any other questions, I can answer via PM,
