With -40s past few weeks (months) lol we are pushing30 to 36 inches, enough to groom the ice roads, hope u get some good ice down there real soon, I can see it happening according to the weather network.

Everyone should have to work for what they get in life for sure, I sure have no money tree. That applies to everyone.

Also Simon we always spray the starter area with a wd40 or other moisture dispurser which will not leave a gummy residue, JUST make sure the surface is not hot when applying.

Hey Simon, We had the same or similar problem with ours when we moved here. The spring was to cold and stiff and not pushing the starter gear down all the way to the flywheel, we had to gently warm the starter with a hair dryer it worked, but were warned not to heat up to quick as it could crack things, all I know is it worked for us. -43 here today. Liked your video, check ours on the weather network, fun isn't it. Sometimes after u use the blower a bit of moisture will freeze in there after the machine cools off.

THATS MY WHOLE POINT RIGHT ON

I guess we can all have the right to disrupt road and rail traffic if we have issues with the government after watching the news today. Forget going to your local elected officials. If I have an issue with gov't I do not have the right to inconvenience others. And yes my grandfather and uncle died fighting for the rights of all Canadians. What are your thoughts.

Yes it is very sad turn of events. Condolensces to the family. Somehow there has to be a better education process for people who venture out on the ice who do not normally spend a lot of time out there. What is common sense to you or I may never come into their train of thought. I know we have grilled some rules into our son regarding ice since he was 4, at 17 he still plays by the same rules. It is cheap insurance and gets us all home safe. Our prayers are with them.

Just eat 3 cloves of garlic before u go fishing. When u catch a fish just breath on it then u wont have to worry what other options are available really, .......maybe more people should work on a farm and as for new people on the board welcome but understand it is not like the other board..................................this one is far superior in every which way, whether it be in dealing with technical help, support with family losses, fishing tips etc.

FRIIIIGGGGGIIIINNNNN AWESOME No more snow blindness. Great job Roy/TJ

Congrats awesome day, those whities bring back memories when we lived in Barrie. Glad u had a great day.

Heres to more tight lines for u guys, great pics of laker. Blizz

Amazing video, amazing trout, amazing scenery Watching the video I think my heart was pumping as much as yours was. Simon might have some competition now lol.

Thats why I watch the CFL. Its growing in popularity.

Thanks Tom 0 and IFH for taking the time to respond also . We have had a small drip in our sons shower which could explain why the top element is not reaching its max temperature. We will also drain the tank and clean the lower element. As mentioned the tank is only 2 years old. Have an awesome weekend guys Cheers Blizz.

As mentioned before it is a little bright but with the lack of sunlight up here the screen lights up the whole damn house Saves alot on hydro don,t need any lights on . You guys are doing a great job updating and hopefully the screen will tone down a bit with time Cheers Blizz

Great job Simon, you give the rest us a reason to keep on trying, not that we're getting skunked or anything

Great idea, quick question how do u like the performance of the heater, we were just looking 2 days ago at them on the canadian tire web site.

Thanks guys for taking the time to help out,alot of great points were raised which I was not aware of, you never stop learning Cheers Blizz

Thanks guys, I got ahold of a multimeter and will check it, found a website of john wood for testing, I guess its the joys of getting kinks out of a place you have recently bought..... .. but I would really rather being . Thanks again Blizz

-47 windchill this morning , enough ice here to send some back to lake simcoe. Our hot water tank was installed November 2011. The tank is a gsw john wood 40 gallon. 3000 watt upper and lower elements. Top element is warm but the bottom is cold. I tried the upper reset button but it did not help. There is just my wife, myself and our son. Our showers are short but our sons is cold. Can I replace the lower element or might it be something else. I am between jobs right now so any tips are truly appreciated. We bought our first digital camera at Christmas and I promise to send pictures as soon as I can figure how to upload them onto the OFC. Thanks Blizz.

Congrats to all of you, best time of your life, and a very special one. I remember when my son was born i tried to miss every pothole possible bringing him home. I kept saying to him fishing fishing fishing, but his first word was mmmmmum, Down the road if u ever have disagreements kepp to a minimum and resolve quickly, it goes to fast, our son is 17, I wish I could turn the clocks back to when he was 7, Cherish every day, all the best.

I know the screen is temporarily a little bright but on the positive side, with the lack of daylight up here the screen lights up the whole damn house lol ........save alot on hydro, won't need lights on . Keep up the great work.....thanks for your efforts to update......you have the know how, we have to have the patience. Looking good.

Great pics, great day on the ice and beautiful sunset. Doesn't get much better. We are still talking about your dinner presentation from last week, awesome. We are still checking seat sales lol maybe we can get Buffalo Joe to fly us down.lol Cheers Blizz.

Check out fuji finepix s4200, got it at staples for Christmas, great pics day or night, very good zoom, hope to post some pics in next 2 days.

grt 1 GO WITH GAS; Tried one on Lake simcoe before we move up here. Sold it half way thru the season. Good for first ice, but did not perform in thicker ice and in colder temps. Bought a cheap gas auger and still using it up here. Still cuts thru 5 feet of ice.
