  1. Sleeping giant in tbay is pretty cool.

     

    Ive always used the yellowhead and if ya hit the praries during a lightning storm its absolutely gorgeous!

     

    If you go on transcanada from tbay to winnipeg let me know. Maybe we can meet in souix narrows for lunch?( only 20 mins outta your way)

  2. Total alcohol sales in Canada is approximately 20 billion per year. "If recreational pot becomes legal, the potential customer base suddenly runs in the millions. Dundee Capital Markets analyst Aaron Salz figures the market would then be worth up to $5 billion." (National Post) $5 billion in taxable revenue is "alot of money" especially considering that governments would tax the drug at a much higher rate then the GST. Then one must also consider the amount of tax dollars spent combating the illegal drug trade along with costs to our legal system. That figure must run into hundreds of millions of dollars.

    Im talking about illegal sales.

     

    Marijuana is cheap in comparison to other "recreational drugs".

     

    There is little money to be made unless you literally moving tonnes

  3.  

    Big sawbill looks easier to get onto too

     

    What about Saturday? Do you know the ice conditions? I had to drive to Sioux Lookout yesterday, all the big water was WIDE OPEN here.

    Super easy to get into lol

     

    But im not sure about the ice??? Its a tiny lake so im hoping its froze over.

     

    Maybe ill just bite the bullet and go check it out.

     

    Be crappy to drive all the way there and find it wide open though lol

  4.  

    How do you explain slow metabolism and fast metabolism? I believe my metabolism is slow and most people will say to that a fast metabolism rate is what is needed for the body to lose weight.

    Well most of the slow vrs fast metabolism is just pure myth.

     

    It has more to do with body types, then diet and activity levels.

     

    You have ectomorphs, endomorphs etc and that plays a much bigger role.

     

    I could write about 6 thousand lines on the topic.

     

    DNP is one of the only compounds, or triidothronine that will actually alter metabolism in a human(and DNP is a derivitive of TNT, yes the explosive, its very very dangerous)

     

    Then there is also thyroid function, hormone levels, neurotransmittors, leptin, grehlin etc all involved.

     

    Its a very complicated situation but its very easy to lose bodyfat if you have someone on your side that understands all these factors

  5. I could provide some real insight on this(being a nutritional consultant practioner by trade)

     

    Kinda funny to hear some of the responses( I know you all mean well however)

     

    If there are more specific questions post em up or pm me if you so choose.

     

    And ie. Metabolism is the rate at which cells die. So if you want to die faster, by all means use real scientific methods to do so

    I've crossed at couple of real redneck border crossings.

    Portal North Dakota is a good one. Poorly laid out and you really have no idea where you're going.

    You drive around a few buildings until you find a little gatehouse where the agent is.

    Poker Creek Alaska is a great little border crossing. There is a sign there that says POP. 2!!! :lol:

    One US guard and one Canadian. It's also the most Northerly border crossing in North America.

    When you go into the US they ask you if you would like your passport stamped. The stamp is quite big (about the size of a business card) and has a large image of a caribou and Poker Creek Alaska in it.

     

    The crossing @ Beaver Creek Yukon is more like a traditional crossing.

    The guards there on both sides are really good people.

    On year when I was pulling my camper to Alaska I had a rock kicked up by my tire bounce off the front of the trailer and smash my rear window about 5 miles from the US border. :wallbash:

    When I got to the border I asked the guard if they had any plastic and tape for the window I just broke. They hooked me up with garbage bags and tape as well as a garbage bin and broom to clean up. Didn't really ask me any questions other than where I was going, doing and how long. :good: :good:

    Yeah the rainy river/baudette crossing is really good too! They usually even remember your name etc.

     

    The wife often gets the "oh, 6 kids! We better not hold you up" treatment lol
