  4. When her insurance renewal comes up, she certainly will remember for a looooooooong time. Actually, she will be 'facility'. A regular insurance company won't touch her.
  5. Teen driver charged after crash causes $100,000 in damages A teen police suspect was texting has been charged with careless driving after a crash in Barrie, Ont., damaged vehicles, a house and a boat.

  6. If you can't 'bring it over the border' I don't see how it could possibly be legal to mail. Unless the fish is smoked, prepared & packaged by a professional/certified food processing company. And then he purchases it, maybe it could be mailed/couriered. Your right, seems like a lot of work. Regards, Slayer
  7. X2. All staff are certified Mercury mechanics. David has been looking after me for the last three years. Tell him Simon sent you. BTW, if you're considering any marine mechanics in Burlington, pm me. There is a specific company that you need to be aware of.
  8. But then I wouldn't get a chance to meet another legend. I'll call you this afternoon. Any Mississauga members here have a chainsaw they can lend out for a day?
  9. I'm in Cliff. I'll see if I can round up Sean & Troy. I'll call you tomorrow afternoon to confirm details.
  10. Hey Cliff, I hereby insist that you reward yourself for your outstanding efforts by consuming the balance of that fine Dalwhinnie. I would come up to personally supervise you (and of course help out Beans) but as you know, we are moving Mom this weekend . to our house for 3 weeks Cheers, Simon
  11. Yes. Very happy with it. You may need to bend/shape the rod depending on your configuration. If you are not mechanically inclined, you may want to talk to David about installation.
  12. Hey Mike, Don't mean to hijack your thread, but check you PMs. Regards, Slayer
  13. Hey Keith, Call David @ City Marine (on the Queensway) 416 207 0344. Please tell him that I referred you. If he doesn't have it in stock, he can order it and have it delivered in a few days. Here are your part numbers: Panther/Marinetech- Zinc 55-2400 Stainless 55-2600 Simon

  16. Hey Keith, I installed the following product from my Merc 115 to Honda 9.9 http://www.marinetec...otorSteeringKit The link is for the zinc product but I purchased the stainless steel version. It was very easy for me to install (took the boys about an hour) and the result is very satisfactory. Both zinc and stainless come with a quick disconnect system. I would definitely recommend this product. Regards, Simon
  17. I've seen St. Croix in the Mississaug location during my last 2 visits there in May. Slayer
  18. I use a Hyundai Veracruz. Easily handles rods up to 8+. Slayer
  19. Here's a heads up for ya; CANADIAN TIRE STORES IN MISSISSAUGA ARE A JOKE!!!!!!!!! Went to Heartland CT at lunch time to specifically buy; Simano Rain Suit............99.99 Lucky Strike Net.............14.99 Pflueger President.........59.99 Suffix 832 x 3.................47.97 Total.............................222.94 (+ HST) Here's what they had available/in stock; Shimano Rain Suit.........no stock. 1 Available @ Dixie/Dundas + 1 @ Meadowvale Lucky Strike Net............no stock. Available @ Dundas/Mavis Pflueger President........no stock. 1 available @ Dixie/Dundas + 4 @ Meadowvale Suffix 832......................lots available. Didn't buy any. Spoke to 'Dan the Manager'. "there's not any demand for fishing stuff here" and he didn't even order any of the sales items. Suggested that if he actually stocked "fishing stuff" he might find that there is indeed a demand given that we are less than 10 clicks away from Lake Ontario. What a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!! This kind of crap just reaffirms why I don't shop CT anymore. And it makes me appreciate Steve @ JB's and the guys @ LeBarons a lot more. I HATE CANADIAN TIRE Slayer
  20. Hey Ladies & Gents, I wasn't sure if a 30th wedding anniversary is a big deal or just another number divided by 5. So I figured instead of another trip to a 5 star resort, we would do something completely different. Like go . So off we went last Friday to zone 15. First stop was to pick up Mrs. Slayer's anniversary gift. Her very first conservation license + two dozen minnows. She was very surprised to say the least. Saturday was not the best day (rain & drizzle all day long) for a romantic fishing outing, so I pre-fished solo most of the day. Some big OOS SM + little pike (20"). Mrs Slayer & daughter #1B (Tyler) went shopping. (BTW, Mr & Mrs got the bunkie, Tyler got the main cottage all to herself). Sunday the weather turned out great. Sunny & Mild. We spent a good couple of hours marking a lot of suspended fish 7-9 ft. in 14 - 20 ft but had no takers. At noon thirty, we moved to the north end of the lake. I knew of a spot where we have been succesful before and figured the SW wind might be pushing the bait fish up against a deep wall. After 30 minutes, nothing. I decided to expand the zone and marked a previously unknown submerged point with a pool of about 16 ft off the edge. I set up for the troll through the pool towards the point. Midway through the pool, Mrs. Slayer was rewarded with this; Can you tell she loves fishing yet . This walleye was 2.4 lbs and caught on a clear bright day with the sun at it's zenith (go figure). Minnow + bobber set @ 4 ft. Well, my head says to me 'let's do that again". Get in position, start the drift and tell Tyler where to cast. Bobber hits the water and almost immediately goes down. Tyler lands this beauty; For the record, that's not the first pike Tyler has caught, but it is the smallest (5'4 lbs). She aka The Pike Princess. So now my heads makin a lot or racket up there. "Do it again!! Do it!!" So I did. Four passes and zero nothing nada. I did manage to lose a spincast combo while someone was pulling up the bait bucket. No worries there though, the combo was at least 20 yrs old and I couldn't even tell you the name of rod or reel. We decided that the fishing gods had rewarded us sufficiently and it was time to start packing up to go home. So I figured the boat needed a good run @ top speed before sitting for another weeek or two. Mid way across the lake @ 38 mph, Tyler says "Oh Dad!! Another one of your rods went in the water" Crap!! that was my baitcaster combo (but only a BP brand). Note to self; figure a way to tie down those rods to the gunwales. Now I just need to figure out what I need for my anniversay gift . Regards, Slayer
