Mike the Pike

That might be your Honda pilot John. I know my Honda minivan was built in Oshawa. Actually I had a 1994 Ford Taurus Wagon ya I had to redo the tranny and it was hard on ball joints other than that I loved that car the 3 litre motor ran forever with no problems and it was the most economical V6 engine I have ever driven burned gas like a 4 cylinder it was eleven years old when I got rid of it and it was running well at the time it just was getting too rusty. I have a friend who works on transmissions and he told me that Vans are not the ideal tow vehicles. A friend of mine works at Honda and he said the trannies also let go on the Odesseys so for now I hope she holds out 141 000kms. I have to ask did you put a transmission cooler on your van and did you dump the tranny oil every 50 000 kilometres preventative maintenance goes a long way. MTP

Ya he wants me there Roy we get along great his lake really will cost $75 I also spoke to one of my customers today and he said his lake on his cottage was the same charge good to know from Darsky that some Lakes have reasonable rates. I have made a change of plans I am Northbay bound August 18th.I will also be in Southern Ontario some time soon to feel my arms burn

My second week of vacation this August I planned on visiting my sister and my brother in Law at there cottage in Northern Quebec in a place called Lac des Ecorse which is about 20 Minutes from Mont-Laurier a popular area for fishing in the North. I went last year and regretted not bringing the boat. So yesterday I see the brother in law and he informs me that it will cost me $75 to wash my boat and put it in their lake Hello.......... You people are on drugs. Its seems the locals on this little lake called Lac Gauvin 2kms long by 1km wide wanted to deter the 60 odd boats that come from elsewhere everyday and try and avoid evasive species. After speaking to my Bro-in law I told him I will just go to other lakes and he informs me it will be the same charge elsewhere. There are some places in the Eastern Townships where I fish that charge $20.$10 for parking and $10 to wash the boat.Which I find resonable and I don't blame them one bit for trying to keep zebra mussels and other evasive species out of the Lake. I have now decided I am going to visit my Mom in Northbay Ontario where I will not be gouged So screw you Mont-Laurier Quebec I am spending my money in Ontario. I will not be buying anything at your restaurants ,your chocolate factory,cheese factory and the Maple products store.Not to mention the wonderful butcher I bought my meat from last summer. Hello Ontario Sorry but I had to rant and get this off my chest MTP

OOPS ya was referring to almost 40 Cliff.You have been doing the portage thing for some time. I don't portaging my 16 ft fiberglass canoe its 40 inches wide and weighs about 85 lbs.I didn't know you smoked Mike.

Uh oh a good time to quit smoking Of course your not 40 yet Have a good time boys!

I use Power Pro bought some this year but I must say I also use Stren Super Braid much better than Power Pro

Yes the better option would be to stay in school but if school is not for you consider a trade. I spent 13 years in the printing trade the last 8 years I have been a technical sales rep and that my friend is where you can make great money. Sales is a great career if you are motivated. Be wise Mike choose what you like to do .You get out of life what you put into it. Best of Luck Young man
