  1. That was probably just ice cream I hope it nothing too serious. Unfortunatley, that does not sound like the case.
  2. I think that missing the playoffs this year and next is part of the plan. You don't trade for draft picks so you can turn the team around in one year. Leafs also picked up a scout. http://www.torontosun.com/2015/07/20/maple-leafs-snag-top-red-wings-scout?ref=yfp
  3. Shouldn't the father and son both be charged with obstruction of justice? The son should obviously have additional charges for the accident too.
  4. Baptiste is nice. That would be closer to three hours from Richmond Hill though.
  5. NHL Expansion plans http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/nhl-moves-forward-with-quebec-city-and-las-vegas-expansion-bids-163822781.html
  6. The 'Zoo' board was a completely different site. I think 1999 was the first year for this site; I found out about this site from a post on the Zoo board. It was at least that old; I actually won a trip to Lake Nippissing from this site in 1999. I think it was Thanks Giving weekend. I couldn't accept it because it was too close to my son's due date; he was born on Oct 26, 1999. Chris and Canadave did most of the posting back in the beginning.
  7. Most people would just use the bill of sale for proof of ownership. You do get a title of you actually register your boat. However, very few people register their boats; most just license them.
  8. Don't BlackBerry phones run all Android apps?
  9. You may want to have a way of disconnectiong it if there is a short. Adding a plug to the boat may be better than removing it from the motor.
  10. It doesn't go as far as Bluffers. The eastern boundry is around Victoria Park or the Harris water treatment plant. A harbour license is required for the Ashbridges Bay launch. I have one, so that is not a problem. It sounds like parking may be an issue on weekends. Thanks for the responses. I have new plans for tomorrow; but may try out there later this year.
  11. You could try vertical rod holders at both the front and the back of the boat. These can be purchases or home made as other have posted. Having storage at both the front and back allows you to move the rods around depending on the type of fishing that you are doing. You can store them in bow when trolling or in stern when casting from the front of the boat.
  12. Does anyone here regularily use the Ashbridges Bay boat launch? Is there usually parking available on the weekends? I am considering launching out of there tomorrow. I don't want to drive all the way down there and find out that there is no where to park. Also, do you know what is costs to park there? I have only ever used it in April when the parking is free.
  13. Were they inflatables? If not, you don't need to wear them; just have them available.
  14. https://www.facebook.com/210972522255883/photos/a.373576069328860.94148.210972522255883/1027329000620227/?type=1
  15. If you go the fillet route, don't forget to leave the skin on. Otherwise, you can be charged. You need to wait until you are ready to consume the fish before removing the skin. A CO needs to be able to determine the quantity and species of fish that you are transporting.
  16. Another move by the Leafs. Hopefully he will be able to help them a little. I don't think he will ever be a star. https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/maple-leafs-acquire-taylor-beck-predators-jamie-devane-232139560--nhl.html
  17. Here are a few pictures from the fishing events hosted by TUFA - Toronto Urban Fishing Ambassadors. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153434228540480&set=gm.1028924737131736&type=1 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154063227662576&set=pcb.1028820557142154&type=1&permPage=1 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153433580595480&set=gm.1028782477145962&type=1 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153434228190480&set=pcb.1028924737131736&type=1&relevant_count=5 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153434228675480&set=pcb.1028924737131736&type=1&relevant_count=1
  18. Interesting read. I would certainly never have thought of this. http://www.keepcanadafishing.com/coke-its-the-real-thing-to-stop-fish-bleeding/
  19. In terms of the fishing guide. I don't see how a salmon would pick up any additional contaminants in the rivers since they don't feed. So as far as safe to eat, I would say they are just as safe or just as bad (two different perpestives) as fresh caught fish from the lake. I do suspect that they won't taste as good as a spring or summer fish from the lake.
  20. Yes, it is strange how smokers (even ones who would never think of tossing other garbage on the ground) think it is accpetable to just toss their butts anywhere. I guess there may be a few exceptions. But I don't think that I have ever seen a smoker save a cigerette butt to be disposed of properly. They may use a garbage can or ash tray if it right there; otherwise they just toss it on the ground or into the water.

  22. Perhaps if you include the portion that is embedded in the head of the brush it would be an inch long.
  23. That's because there are more people who care about the Leafs than there are people who care about the Senators... Get over it.
  24. Why would you want a rent-a-player during a rebuild? Even a three year player is not what you want during a rebuild.
  25. This one is a little quicker than most... http://www.outdoorhub.com/news/2015/06/26/video-worlds-fastest-pontoon-boat-awesome/
