Ottawa victorious in the battle of basement. They've clinched a spot in the top 30 for the season. With two games remaining, Montreal, Vancouver, & Phoenix are within reach.

There is another version... Eugene Melnicks’s garage burned down. Eugene called the insurance company and spoke to the insurance officer and said, “I had that garage insured for sixty thousand, and I want my money.” The officer answered, “Hold on there, just a minute. Insurance doesn’t work quite like that. An independent adjuster will assess the value of what was insured, and then we’ll provide you with a new garage of similar worth.” There was a long quiet pause, and then Eugene answered, “If that’s how insurance works, then I want to cancel the policy on my hockey team.”

Do you have any other sources that indicate that license and insurance will be required for personal use of a drone? That is not the way I read it from this site https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/opssvs/applying-special-flight-operations-certificate.html

Roman’s garage burned down and his wife, Tessa, called the insurance company. Tessa spoke to the insurance officer and said, “We had that garage insured for sixty thousand, and I want my money.” The officer answered, “Hold on there, just a minute. Insurance doesn’t work quite like that. An independent adjuster will assess the value of what was insured, and then we’ll provide you with a new garage of similar worth.” There was a long quiet pause, and then Tessa answered, “If that’s how insurance works, then I want to cancel the life insurance certificate on my husband.”

Maybe you should wait until the team you cheer for wins a cup before you attempt to make jokes about other teams not winning cups...

Here is the owner's response. Even if he is telling the truth, I don't consider a propane tank to be an appropriate marker. Hopefully he was honest about it being taken care of...

I saw a post about this on Facebook earlier today. The poster seemed to know which commercial hut operator left the garbage but didn't mention their name.

Somebody prepared a list of the most disappointing teams in the NHL this year. Oddly enough, they didn't put Ottawa on the list... https://ca.news.yahoo.com/five-disappointing-teams-nhl-season-223701277.html

Wouldn't Service Ontario just be for the trailer plates? The vessel license is federal.

Big win tonight. The worst they can do now is tie for third in their division.

Do you know when the ceilings were done? Some of the old popcorn ceilings used asbestos. If yours in one of them, then covering it would be preferable to removing it.

Are you talking about Simcoe or Toronto? My friend is still ice fishing on Simcoe. So I wouldn't expect it to be wide open just yet.

No reported injuries, hopefully this doesn't affect production http://fishingtackleretailer.com/kens-classic-report-card

My friend told me that he is still ice fishing out of Innisfil. He usually just walks out.

But they might bring them down, even if it is not all the way to zero.

Interesting goal. But should the play have been dead behind the net? https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/cam-ward-surrenders-hell-goal-vs-coyotes-004011153.html

Don't worry. I am sure they'll tank properly next year and get that first pick... oh wait

I just got back. It is similar to other years. Most places offering no tax; but not really outstanding deals. If you are planning a big ticket purchase; then the no tax is a pretty significant savings. Lots of seminars and activities for the kids. It wasn't too crowded today. I am sure evenings and weekends will be different. I think that entering Marchbreak or Countdown will get you $3 off ticket prices if you buy on-line. I picked up a pair of these for $15. There was someone in hall 5 selling them for $20 a pair. I got mine from the guy that is selling clamps for tarps. https://www.amazon.ca/EZE-Docker-Portable-Temporary-Mooring/dp/B00W6LAE8Y

I think it is still best to have it.

A CO detector would probably be a good idea just in case. I think you can get battery operated ones.

I have never seen that before... https://www.theepochtimes.com/uplift/man-ice-fishing-when-he-suddenly-starts-running-what-he-saw-on-top-of-frozen-lake-excitedly-screams_2436366.html
