My portables.

Made this one out of scrap and recycled lumber and building materials. Doesn't look like much, but it was cheap (less than $30 not including the stove) and it's warm. Parked it on the lake out front of my house for those days I don't feel like going far with my portable.

How I do it when I use a pop-up shelter. How I do it with my flip up.

This is all I could find on ATV's. Licensing You need a valid Driver's License to legally drive an ATV in Ontario. Ontario honours Driver's Licences issued by other jurisdictions. Additional permits may be required by some trails. Insurance In order to ride Ontario's trails, you must have insurance for your ATV.

This is what's required for snowmobiles. Not sure about ATV's. Licensing Anyone 16 and over who has a valid Ontario driver's licence, motorized snow vehicle operator's licence (MSVOL) or a licence from another jurisdiction is allowed to drive a snowmobile across a road, on roadways where legally permitted and on trails. The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs issues the MSVOL. To get this licence, you must successfully pass a snowmobile driver training course. Contact your local snowmobile club to obtain more information about the MSVOL program or visit the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs website*. If you do not have a driver's licence and you are 12 years of age or older, a valid MSVOL, or a licence from another jurisdiction authorizing you to drive a snowmobile will allow you to drive on trails. Drivers must carry with them at all times their driver's licence or MSVOL. Failing to produce either of these documents to a police officer or conservation officer when requested could result in a fine of up to $1,000. The Motorized Snow Vehicles Act is the primary piece of legislation that governs snowmobiling in Ontario. To view the MSVA and other Ontario laws and regulations, visit www.e-laws.gov.on.ca. Contact your local snowmobile club to obtain more information about the MSVOL program or visit the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs website. Registration and Insurance Before driving a snowmobile, it must be registered with the Ministry of Transportation. If you are operating the snowmobile off your own property, the registration must be valid and you must have liability insurance. Carry both the registration permit and the insurance card with you when riding. Failing to produce either of these documents to a police officer or conservation officer when requested could result in a fine of up to $1,000. Helmets Everyone who drives or rides on a snowmobile requires a helmet that meets the standards approved for motorcycle helmets. Everyone who rides on a cutter, sled or similar device towed by a snowmobile must also wear a helmet.

Just watched Don's tribute, and he mentions the justice system for 4 seconds of a 1 minute 53 second tribute, and what he says in that 4 seconds is probably the way it will end up going down. So I don't see how this can be classified and a rant against the justice system or political grandstanding. Good job Don.

There are still Olive Gardens out west in Manitoba, Alberta and BC. They are part of the Darden Franchise chain which also operate Eastside Mario's, Red Lobster and Longhorn Steakhouse to name just a few of their brands. Hopefully Target can revive Zellers.

Boy, banning the word drunk would take it's toll on Country Western music.

It's not the government. The CBSC is run by the broadcast media. The broadcast media is censoring it's self and deciding what Canadians can listen to. In a way, it's worse than government censorship, because the CBSC isn't accountable in anyway to the Canadian people. At least governments can be defeated at the polls.

Believe it or not, it's not the government. The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council is made up of members from the broadcasting industry. Just another reason not to listen to Canadian radio. Thank god for iPods and Sirius, where an individual is allowed to decide what they want to listen to.

It's actually either. The Americans use the term Half Staff, as in this link re: Arizona. http://www.google.ca...Q7mGS2w&cad=rja My condolences to the officers family. With several peace officers in the family, news likes this always hits home.

RBC has been the best for us too. Over $1400/yr cheaper on our 2 vehicles, house and snowmobile than any of the local agents were able to quote us for the exact same coverage.

Looks like a good price. Cheapest I've seen is $184.

Found this on another forum. Maybe relevant. Sounds like a few issues with the carb. snowdayzed Joined: Feb 25, 2010 Points: 1 Re: Toro Power Clear 180: Anybody use it yet? Reply #54 Feb 25, 2010 10:34 am It would seem that the toro powerclear 180 has had its share of problems with the float pin in the carb. I myself have had the mispleasure of purchasing one. December 9th, 2009 my husband and I were at our toro dealer and saw this snowblower. He wanted to buy one so I would have a managable machine while he was gone serving his country over seas. on january 4th we found the puddle of gas under it. So like alot of others we took it into the dealer and the float pin was replaced and it was covered under the warentee. but wait. we hadnt had to use it for a month but yet on feb 17th we found another puddle of gas under it. Once again we took it back to the dealer for repairs. Its still there but they were replacing the entire carb. Just have to love this machine that has been in the shop more than it has been used on the driveway NOT. Did I happen to meantion I live in michigan. oh joy gotta love the workout from shoveling. Of course there is the problem that if anyone would have walked into my garage with a lit cigarette, pipe,cigar, match etc. can you say kaboom? I did notice though most of the posts i have read stated the machines were purchased in december. hopefully this problem is limited to one lot of parts. Hey, I can dream rite? themoo Joined: Feb 8, 2010 Points: 3 Re: Toro Power Clear 180: Anybody use it yet? Reply #48 Feb 13, 2010 2:29 pm After a week, I got my 180 back with a new carb and carb kit. No charge. Snow is tomorrow. Bring it on!

After trying to start it, pull the spark plug, if it's wet, then you flooded it. If it's flooded, pull it over with the throttle off and choke open, the plug out and dry the spark plug. If the spark plug was dry, hook the plug up to the wire and ground it by resting on the top of the engine and pull it over. See if you have spark. If you have spark, and the plug was dry, then fuel isn't making it into the cylinder. This could be caused by many things. Does it have a fuel shut off valve, is it on? The carb maybe dirty and plugged. Maybe you need to prime it more than you have been to get it to start.

Ouch

Looks like a excellent buy. Be careful on the ice this year, there's a lot of dodgy spots in some areas.

All I have are my sled and my boat.

Yes it's time.

Darn right. Trust me, Russel MB and Mayerthorpe AB are always on my son inlaw and daughters mind.

Yes, and relatively civil for the most part.

Yeah, some people do love their internet fishing.The kid definitely caught his limit today.

There still is in Ontario. Any plate with a D or MDx prefix is a medical doctors plate.

Love that GTO.

You are wrong. It falls under the Criminal Code of Canada, and operation of any machinery while impaired anywhere is illegal.
