  1.  

    Is it possible the OP's cat, which he allows to wander the neighborhood, damaged the neighbors property and she was simply returning the favor?

     

    What was it someone said about needing to be a good neighbor to have good neighbors?

    Their is at least 15 cats in the neighborhood, including two from the neighbor. (Oh she has a dog too)

     

    Did our cat pee on her grass? Lol

     

    ???

  2. Just for reference, maybe you remember the spedometer went out on the 01 jeep liberty and I believe you(dan) suggested the rear wheel censor either corroded or something like that.

     

    I took it too emo shop and it sat for 2 weeks and they couldnt find any issue. So i was done with them.

     

     

     

    Anyhow I just called and there is an emergency in the family? so im sure that plays a part in the delay.

     

    I hope everything is ok.

  3. If I tried pulling a 9 day wait on a customer's vehicle; it be the last I'd ever see of them as customers.

    I guess it's a different situation up there, when this might be the only shop for a few miles?

    You have way more patients then me, I'd be on the phone with them so much; that they'd fix the thing(s) just to get rid of me. LOL

     

    Dan.

    Yeah dan its like a pop. Of 1000 tops and hes the only reliable mechanic around soooo...

     

    And like I said hes working on scoolbuses so that takes priority.

     

    And he has 3 staff lol. A lady to answer the phone, his son doing oil changes/tire rotations and simple tasks.

     

    So hes the only guy actually fixing vehicles.

     

    Im not mad at him, but I sure am frustrated with no vehicle

     

    Oh he towes for free too.

     

    I could have had an outside companny tow to fort frances canadian tire but it would cost a good chunk, and canadian tire in fort sucks

  4. For a bare minimum, a pfd would save the families more grief as the "search" would be over quicker.

     

    Spare the rescuers and "recovery" teams as well.

     

    Beside affording you a longer window for rescue of course.

     

    I always think of not me falling into the water but, being hit by an out of control Jetski or Wake boarder.

     

    Cheers,

    Mark

    For a brief period. Pfds wont keep you afloat for long if current is involved. Ever see a dead body from drowning??? It might just rip the pfd right off you

     

    Not familiar with the lake though so you may indeed be correct

  5. Sadly I don't believe a pfd would shave made much difference unless they were wearing appropriate cold weather gear. Wet suit or better, a drysuit but I not everyone will have or can afford either. With the water temps in the spring, they would have succumbed to hypothermia imo unless they didn't panic. Which is what happens when people hit very cold water very suddenly.

     

    I hope they find them so there's closure for the families.

    ???a pfd aint saving naddas in low temps

     

    Condolences to family and friends

  6. OH! Must have missed the getting towed part - last I remember reading was you were waiting for a tow truck to be available.

    Really hope it gets resolved quick and easy (and cheap!).

     

    Michael

    Me too!!!!

     

    We did have to wait kinda long for a tow, they came on friday or saturday night at like 930pm ???.

  7. I gotta admit I ain't NEVER heard of it taking a week to get a tow truck - y'all sure they haven't forgotten about you?

     

    Michael

    They got towed already. Just no work done yet.

     

    Kinda sucks but I know the owners son and they are servicing and working on some local schoolbuses so im low on the totem pole

  8. There is zero difference when it comes to blocking out UV protection. There is a major difference in clarity between a $30 pair of glasses and a $200 pair of glasses. Is the price difference worth it? It is to me.

    Id have to try but im very happy with cheapo berkleys. Fit well, cheap and effective.

     

    On these $300 glasses can you see 20ft down in muddy waters or something?

     

    When the water is clear here I can sight fish no prob in $20 glasses
