  1. If winning three out of four games is their normal, I'll take it.
  2. Matt's your uncle?
  3. Wouldn't you have to have a license in order for it to be suspended?
  4. Should be a nice walleye chop
  5. I wouldn't remove the from hood. Just run some planks down each side and attach a flat platform to the planks. As others have said; something needs to be done about the trailer. The bunks should extend right to transom. You may need to both move the boat forward and install longer bunks.
  6. Thanks, I think Hollis is owned by Scotia Bank. They claim that they there fees are actually lower than going through the bank.
  7. Could this be it... https://www.cortlandline.com/products/444-classic
  8. I am considering having HollisWealth management my investments. I was just wondering if anyone here uses them and if they are happy with their service and performance.
  9. We would need a lot more examples to see if there is a pattern. But I did just stumble on example of people with European sounding names getting $5,000 dollar fines... Although in this case the fine is still pretty low considering that they were way, way over their limit. http://blackburnnews.com/chatham/chatham-news/2017/09/21/fishermen-fined-10000-keeping-many-walleye/
  10. You need to have a spotter in the boat too.
  11. You know a guy is worried about his team when he has to restort to bragging about their success in game one of exhibition hockey... Are you worried that this will be the last chance that you get to brag about them this year?
  12. The DEC will be maintaining the stocking levels (a 20% reduction from 2016 levels) for 2018. On a positive note, they did mention record alewife production for 2017. Hopefully, this will help make up for the two lost years. http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/news03/dec-holds-salmon-trout-stocking-steady-in-attempt-to-preserve-alewife-populations-20170918
  13. As good as muskie?
  14. Another vote for Stradic.
  15. Unless the lake has changed significantly in the last few years, walleye are tough to find there. Pike and bass are more plentiful.
  16. The gate to the Rouge was open earlier this month. I am not sure why they would have closed it again. I am resigned to Bluffers not opening at all this year. It would be nice if I turn out to be wrong on that one.
  17. Pure strain muskies have pointed fins. Pike & tiger muskies have rounded fins.
  18. The bigger males may try to keep the smaller ones away, but they can't really stop other males from sneaking in for a squirt while the female lays her eggs. So multiple males will fertilize the eggs of a single female; I suspect that those males will also fertilize other females too. Interestingly, the jacks are more fertile and can shoot a bigger load than the larger males. So a quick sneak attack may allow them to fertilize as many eggs as the dominant male that stays with the female. Females have some control too. They will adjust the rate that they lay eggs based on which males are close by.
  19. Winter gas evaperates quicker than summer gas; so it works better in colder temperatures. I am not sure if it is much cheaper to make though.
  20. Agreed, Hamilton, Kitchener, or Quebec City would be much better locations
  21. Right now they'd be a good choice as one vehicle for a two vehicle family. Many families have more than one vehicle; so this doesn't mean they would be buying an extra vehicle. They could use an electric vehicle for local errands and still have a gas vehicle for long drives where range would be a factor. This could help provide some time for the infrastructure to be built. If it's a hybrid, it uses the gas engine to keep the battery charged. Although plugging it once in while may still be beneficial. The actual cost is a good question. I remember reading recently that the Ontario government gives a credit of up to $14k for an electric car. They can afford to do that if more people start buying electric? Can more people afford to by electric if they don't offer the credit? The other issue is gas taxes. The government collects a lot of revenue from the sale of fuel. One of the reasons for these taxes is to pay for the roads. So owners of electric cars are not contributing to the cost of building and maintaining the roads. This will become an issue if electric vehicles ever capture a significant share of the market. If electric vehicles become more popular, the government will need to find a way to replace the lost revenue.
  22. Ironically, one of the my FaceBook friends just posted today about her plans to see a game in Ottawa. She will be going in January when they play the Leafs...
  23. Looks like a sedan to me. Removing the lid from the trunk doesn't make a sedan into a pickup truck.
  24. Yes, and if their claims that it's the oxygen and not the nitrogen leaks from the tire; nitrogen content should increase and eventually approach pure nitrogen as you top up your tires.
  25. Yeah, they are getting a free ride right now (subsidized purchase price and no gas taxes) and still cost more than a gas vehicle. If electric vehicles become popular, the government will have to find an alternative source of revenue to replace the taxes that they currently collect from gasoline sales.
