      Their fishing prices are a bit high,but the hunting stuff is fair IMO.

      No, there,s something in catnip that repels them, if you could collect cat or fox pee, and leave some around, it would work too.

  9. Came home from taking Jen to Toronto General.. to a message on the machine. "We can't fill your tanks today as promised.. we need different forms filled out than the ones you faxed us. The Insurance company inspect sheets... even with TSSA # and signatures and the fact they're almost identical to the Ontario Oil Council Inspection sheets... aren't legal enough for us to risk our Insurance on!" Really.. pretty ironic isn't it that an Insurance companies tank forms a...

      When it comes to 'sense', insurance companies certainly don't produce it. I hate how they are allowed to set rules for anything while they ignore sound technical know-how.

      TSSA states that aboveground tanks have no expiry date unless they are leaking, yet the insurance companies get to override them while nobody else can.

      ..and Cliff, I'd rather an oil leak than a propane leak in my basement! Of course I wouldn't be stupid enough to call anyone about the oil leak.. ;o)

      NOT what we wanted to hear Wayne.

  11. 4+ inches of ice at my dock. Too bad it'll be awhile before I can get there!!

  12. Alway baffling how they sell a power tool for $129.99 c/w battery and charger and a spare battery for the item is $109.99 ! For that money you may as well buy two tool sets!

  15. Most efficient day of "hospitalling" in 4 years! Sinai at 9:30 to drink barium.. full body CT at 11.. saw the Doctor before noon.. had lunch, drove to Sunnybrook and had all prep for radiation done and back in the truck for home by 2:55!

      I am out most of next week, near North Bay chasing Ski's, then will winterize- crankcase and gear case, but have a few more trips planed afterwards- I usually fish into mid-November but find it too cold to change fluids then....

    4. irishfield

      irishfield

      Yep... check for water in lower units, new clean oil to throw around the bearings for winter storage and livewell intakes capped. Makes for worry free late season fishing!

  20. Grabbed a 3 year old Eveready starting battery out of the garbage shack at the marina, as I was sending Leah home on Thursday with the boat. Battery looked like new. I just charged it and it load tests at 1050 CA !! Score!

      I'm thinking someone said "on your way to town take that battery off the dock to the garbage" .. and they grabbed the wrong one! Oh well !

  21. Smallies have just started fanning to clean nesting spots on Lake Temagami!! Opens in 8 days!

  24. A LOT of white ice out there lads.. sandbars and shoals starting to open up and any current areas. Still lots of ice.. but be careful where you step. Time to put away the machines and go back to walking with picks!
