  1. ME : Hey Lloyd... you should get out of that barge haulers way.. LLOYD: "he can go around". ME: Lloyd... you're starting to sound like M T. Hey Lloyd.. why don't you get out of that guys way.. LLOYD: he can go around. ME: Not without snapping his outboard cable.. why don't you give him room.. LLOYD: "Nah".... gets on the radio "Tug boat.. tug boat.. tug boat, UandMe.. UandMe.. UandMe" TUG BOAT: "Go Ahead". LLOYD: "Tug Boat... what are your intentions?" TUG BOAT: "I INTEND TO GO STRAIGHT IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU"!!! LLOYD: "Affirmative" in a squeaky little voice !! LMAO ! (wind was gusting 72k out of the SW)
  2. No doubt.. show me where that is written in stone. I don't believe it! (but willing to be edumacated)
  3. Thanks guys... the other shirt Dave... says "I'm so Hip.. I only need one"!
  4. My old Big Bear needs the choke pulled full to start.. then 1/2 to run for the first 3 minutes or so. Won't even fire if you don't...
  5. Hell Brian... he'll be so busy riding the trails now he will stop fishing all together!!
  6. Shaun... mark a glass jar about an inch up with a permanent marker... and put some water in the jar up to that line. Slap a lid on it and throw it in the truck. Hit your local gas station and while filling up put a squirt (of gas silly) in the jar, then continue to fill up your truck. In the time you fill the truck leave the jar sitting on top of the pump. If the "water" line rises above the marked line, there is ethanol in the gas. It's as simple as that...
  7. If any of you have Facebook... please share that video link. Jen wants it to go viral... end goal she really wants to get on the Ellen show to share the inspiration! Just in the door after another full week of chemo. Monday's MRI showed the tumour on her skull has reacted / shrunk / changed shape which are all good signs. Two more full weeks of chemo at minimum, one starting Dec 17th and the next early in January. Then we'll see how they proceed from there. Wayne
  8. Thanks Guys! Terry... her Oncologist still doesn't understand how she does it either, but he sure brags about it that she can!
  9. Their daughter's a pleasant gal... can't help other than that. She knows more about fishing than most men, so I can only imagine she learned it from her father. I've heard good things about the place, but can't give any details as to accoms. Lots of "back" lakes accessible thru portages off of Cassels and Rabbit. You'd have to really pick your days to sled thru town and onto Temagami if you wanted to pull huts. Sled only... carbides are cheap I guess. I've done it twice, but enough snow on road to do so.
  10. Day three of chemo over... two more to go for this week. Jen's been off work for about 2 months now... had time to finish her walking montage and get it uploaded today. Might make you think twice about complaining about day to day aches and pains. No peeking behind the fig leaf! (although you may wanna pause it there and take in everything she's missing!) <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/D4Tj6DZy9kM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
  11. Probably not the way Dave wanted it to end after 40 years.
  12. Considering the money in farming potatos, I don't imagine they'll stop anytime soon. My wife's cousin is/was a produce grower / distributor. They've been living on a 75' "boat" in the Bahamas, 6 months of the year, for over a decade now... from profits off a property that is IMMENSELY smaller than this one in question.
  13. Getting into? They ARE Ontario’s largest potato growing and packaging operation.!
  14. Did she say "filmed live by our own lake TV crew"?
  15. Really sucks that Gerritt knocked that 24 lb'r off Will... what a tard that lad can be!!
  16. And if you go.. let me dig for the best stores name. Bought Leah a 1/2" wide herringbone once side.. smooth the other necklace in 1991 and went into the same store just 3 years ago to buy myself a new wedding band with my casino winnings and the owner of the store remembered us... as he only ever had one necklace of it's kind. Don't forget to ask for your beverage of choice in the jewelry stores down there to keep yourself occupied while the wife browses the counters! They all have "stock" behind the counters or hidden in display posts
  17. You can get screwed walking into Jeff Walters in Barrie too.. Leah's wearing one that cost me 10 grand... that turned out to have a big oculsion thru the center! Looks real nice.. just don't look toooo close. Oh and BTW.. that was for our 25th Anniversary, her original ring set (engagement and band) cost us $420 in 1982. Flashy and big doesn't add to the love attached!
  18. I see the tooth fairy is broke these days!! I'll have to come back to this one, gotta get to bed, have to be in SF for noon tomorrow for a funeral.
  19. If you could compare "regular" 100% gasoline to "regular" 10 to 15% ethanol mix gasoline, you would find that you get better fuel mileage on the straight gas! Premium doesn't even enter into the equation... until you buy Premium without ethanol and compare it to regular with the crap in it.
  20. Do a search, the question has been asked about 4 times since September with a lot of good advise.
  21. Regulation is GVWR of the truck.. plus the GROSS capacity of the trailer can't go over 4500kg. Doesn't matter what you have in it / on it if you're running black letter plates on your truck... even for personal use. Now if you throw a camper in the box of the pick up.. now the regs don't apply and you have the MTO's blessing to do what you please as to towing. I told the MTO guy at North Bay that had me pulled over with my Lund behind (yellow sticker truck and trailer for the first time in my life) I was going to buy a pup tent and put it in the box of the truck and call it an RV. I don't need all the creature comforts of home! I say black letter plates because many of the guys here are using their "business" trucks to pull their boats. I've also heard that the MTO has cracked down on anyone over 4500kg truck and trailer, regardless of whether the vehicle is registered personal or business.
  22. Yes (if you were talking a true gas to gas comparison) and No... fuel with Ethanol in it doesn't put out as many BTU's as 100% gasoline does. Canadian Aero engines ran a bird on Alcohol for a few years around this area and it's rated 100HP engine, when put on the dyno, could only produce 91 HP on alcohol. It made 102hp on the same dyno run when using gasoline or 100LL. This same HP performance loss = a fuel consumption increase by running gasoline with 10% or more Ethanol mixed into it. Ethanol fuel simply can't put out the same amount of power without increasing fuel consumption and even then I doubt you're getting full HP.
  23. We got the "bowling ball" mattress via Sears about 4 years back for up at the lake. I went with firm thinking the thing would "wear in". Leah still gives me crap for that... it's still like sleeping on a board and wonderful that you never feel a thing with your "neighbour" having a restless night. We should have gone with the plush vs firm and that would make it the perfect play sleep surface. We have a Sealy Posturpedic Crown Jewel here at home.. over 2G's and a piece of crap!
  24. Yah.. that would make a lot more sense Dave!
