Get what ever you can from them... you only pay tax on the difference between the purchase and the trade in... so that is your savings vs selling the car later privately !

LOL.. like has been said.. take a lesson Brian, and NO I don't have the patience for it anymore and you're too big for me to ski backwards and have you hold my pole handles. Never really did have the patience.. it just got me on the slopes for free and I did have the quickest advancement from beginner to advanced in the Rideau Valley ski club .....as I believed the bunny hills were impossible to teach kids to ski on if they can't get any speed to glide/turn. I took them straight to Tiger Express, at Calabogie, about day 3 ! lol As for "Snowboarding is better".... I'd just wish someone would tell them they're supposed to share the hill as well. All three of us.. wife, daughter and myself.. got pinged off last Sunday night at Blue. I'm still sore. We used to do stuff like that as kids.. crude plywood boards with bindings... broken skis cut off to what you would now call skates.. mono skis with a plate and two bindings.. and all of them got us thrown off the hills. Now they've found boards cut their grooming costs so let it rip !... just wish we had of patented some of that stuff....

Great stuff Bruce! Wish I had the patience for that... but I don't.

Well that Sucks Jamie... guess that new fish finder you had your eye on for the boat just got delayed. You'll bounce back before you need gas for the boat!

It's always looked like it was closed Norm... but it's NOT! I'm told the dust never settles on the poles !

Send me a PM with names mukluk and I'll talk to my mother. Not sure what year my GFather screwed off and left them to fend for themselves. My mother is the oldest at 83 (born in '26). Moss still lives on the property alone @ 82... and all of Glen's kids still live in the village. Sorry to take your thread off course Burtress... lots of lakes up there for sure and hopefully us keeping the thread to the top gets you some responses!

I just drove the garbage down to the concession road in a T shirt ... Balmy out there .... lol What you gonna do when winter comes waterwolf? lol Good luck tomorrow... or are you on another team??

LOL... the East side is littered with cottages... so easy access over there. Those cottages weren't even there when I was a kid and now my uncle isn't allowed to subdivide his shoreline from inlet to outlet dams! Google earth resolution for that area is so bad I can barely make out what's a main road... let alone a side road or private lane. Guess I'll have to try it out myself some day. Sad that I've never even fished the lake... even though I spent many full summers there as a kid.

I've got private access to the entire West shoreline of Glamor Lake (Little Bear).. but I couldn't 100% direct you there... I can only drive to it by "feel" from 4 decades+ of going to Gramma's/now Uncle's. If you can find it down Glamor Lake Rd, off the Buckhorn between Gooderham and Haliburton, you can probably access if from the outlet dam where my uncles property starts (ends at the inlet dam). Issue is the road to the outlet dam isn't marked as it's a private road on property Gramma sold off about 60+ years ago. Let me play on Google earth....

My uncle had two snow cruisers we got to beat up in Gooderham when I was a kid. Probably still in the barn...

Nice size for the table !!

Another great outing Ben !! Somethings missing.... lol

Man.. TWIN Johnsons... that must have went ! lol And a snow cruiser.... Great stuff Bernie !

Great stuff fella.... too much work for this old lad though.. LOL

It is sad Gerritt... women should feel beautiful without the need for cosmetics ! The "knife" man was the only one with the right attitude !

I've got Sat, Sun and Monday free... but I have a medical on Tuesday. Maybe I can run behind the truck part of the way back Joe !!

I run the $18.99 combos from CTC ! Cleaned up the drag and run it on the loose side..... Clean the grease out of the gears and oil (or the grease freezes and you can't turn the handle). Haven't lost anything YET ... including the 19lb laker last winter that was a long fight in -27 weather. Now that I seem to have been bit by the ice fishing bug... I'm sure I'll upgrade my selection of gear in time.

You got the dishes washed yet Cliff.... lol

that's why I said there are various answers.. Depends where you look.. anywhere from 7% to 9.5%

SURE you are.... you're not gonna trade up cold/wind/slush and such for cement and indoors are you?

There are various answers for #2 Boss ! What % spread you allowing ?? lol Carole's got it anyhow... but she's going ice fishing Saturday ! lol

I'm just trying to get over the fact that it took you a full day to figure it out....

Yah... 2 hours and a DAY ! lol Wanna go Monday?
