  1. Another thing to consider with a 3rd party warranty is the financial stability of the company offering the warranty. My friend purchased an extended warranty for his Jeep Cherokee and the warranty company went bankrupt. He ended up having to pay for both the extended warranty and the many, many repairs to his vehicle.
  2. Is your heart set on walleye and lakers? They are probably the two least common species of all of the game fish present in the lake. I think that you would be much better off targeting pike which are plentiful in the lake. The walleye that I have caught have come on a variety of lures including; Benos, Shad Raps, Canadian Wigglers, Erie Dearies, and spinner baits. I have found Thomson 5 o Diamonds to be effective on pike. Spinner baits and rattle baits work well on pike too. I believe that Baptiste Lake Marina rents boats, they are on Baptiste Lake Road South.
  3. I don't get your logic. You admit that a province with government pegged prices has higher prices then Ontario. Yet, you want all provinces to start pegging the prices. Wouldn't that mean that we would just have to pay even more for gas?
  4. Chinook are stocked in a variety of locations, some directly into the lake and some into rivers. They are being pen reared in Whitby Harbour and at Wellington.
  5. Who does it discriminate against? People who don't have a full license? The rules are not based on age, they are based on drivers who have a learner's permit versus people who are fully licensed.
  6. The weight of the truck itself does not count toward the towing capacity. However, it does include the weight of any passengers and cargo inside the truck. A couple of big guys can take four or five hundred pounds off of your towing capacity.
  7. It's my understanding that the military has requested that the flag only be lowered on November 11th to honour all soldiers killed in combat and not be lowered for the death of individual soldiers. I think that we should honour their wishes on this matter. I also don not believe that senators and MP's warrant lowering the flag. I would lower it for the Prime Minister or Governor General though.
  8. They are a different genus (Hucho) than brown trout which are classified in the Salmo genus along with atlantic salmon. Base on this, in don't think they are too closely related to browns despite their similar appearance.
  9. What difference does what they are made of make? If they are melting, they must be getting warmer. If they are getting warmer it provides very strong evidence that the climate on Mars getting warmer. If the climate on Mars is warming along with Earth's climate it, provides evidence that the climate change on Earth is being influence by something other than man... solar activity perhaps. If fail to see any relevance what so ever to the fact that the ice caps on Mars consist of materials that wouldn't be frozen if they were on Earth.
  10. Unfortunately, I do not have a schematic. I did consider that the MicroTemp may have to sense heat in order to close the circuit. I tested it with a hair dryer, the circuit remained open. I will drop by an appliance repair centre and see if I can get it replaced. Thanks for all of your replies. It is great being able to get help on virtually any topic at this site.
  11. My Whirlpool Gas dryer runs but does not heat up. I think I may have isolated the problem. There is a part called a T-O-D Microtemp that I think is causing the problem. I hooked up a V.O.A. meter to it and the two contacts do not seem to make a complete circuit. I assume that this is come sort of fuse and that it is blown. Can anybody confirm or refute this? Is this something that I could pick up at Home Depot or Canadian Tire; or will I need to order it from Whirlpool?
  12. I worked with a guy named Pornpak. It always made me think of the cabel TV. If you liked sports you could order the Sports Pack. If you prefer other forms of entertainment you could order the ...

  14. There are a lot of lily pads in the area where the York River flows into Elephant. Top water spoons and worms will work well for largemouth in these area. Spinner baits and crank baits in the deeper weed beds will produce a variety of species including largemouth. Weeds are the predominant feature of Elephant Lake, which is quite shallow. If you venture into Baptiste you will have much more variety of depths and structure including rocks, stumps, weeds.
  15. Are you referring to the one north of Elephant & Baptiste? If so I have fished it a little. I did catch a walleye there once but have generally not had much luck. In addition to walleye it should have SM & LM Bass, pike and muskie. It is a very scenic lake wiht great sandy ares for swimming... you may want to head south down the York River toward Elephant Lake to do your fishing.
  16. Another clue is the police resorting to a chain email as opposed to a press release to inform people. That's a common giveaway to an urban myth.
  17. This is no different than a parking ticket. I don't see any difference between ticketing the owner of a car when they don't know who parked it and ticketing the owner for speeding or running a red light without knowing who was driving. It would be different if demerit points were involved.
  18. If you consider eastern Toronto to be in the surrounding area, Protectolite in the 404 & Lawrence area sells fibre glass.
  19. Try building your own, then you can have two new hobbies: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/940341/turn_...metal_detector/
  20. Minn Kota used to sell Maximizers separately from their motors. I am not sure if they still do. I am pretty sure that Motor Guide used the same technology (pulse width modulation).
  21. I am on Rogers in Scarborough at Port Union Rd. I get the History channel on 54, I would assume that it is the same number in Pickering. It may also be available on another number in HD if you have a digital box.
  22. You should be getting quite a few extra features for $80 a month. I am with Bell and I am paying around $30 a month with all taxes included.
  23. I would argue that they are not actually finished. If they were finished, they wouldn't require revisions. I expect that there will be further changes to the regs this year. I know that the limit for Rainbow on lake Ontario is under review. Appearently the MNR has stated that changing the regs after they are printed in not a problem
  24. Used to be is the correct answer. Genmar sold their Aluminum boat line to Brunswick Co. (owners of Mercury Marine). Lund, Crestliner, and Lowe/Sea Nymth were included in the sale. Princecraft was already owned by Brunswick.
  25. Richard Peddie and Larry Tannenbaum need to go first. No decent general manager will work for them. Turfing JFJ while they are still around is going to help the team. The general manager should be allowed to decide who coaches the team; so it would make sense to keep Maurice around for now. The new GM can decide his fate later. It would be nice to trade some of the players fro draft choices; unfortunately, the veterans all seem to have no trade clauses, bloated contracts that no other team will accept, or both. I think it will take a long time to rebuilding the team wants the team actually starts rebuilding. Who knows if and when they will even start.
