  1. Size matters when it comes to your wood. I am not sure how it works in Hamilton, but in Toronto, any trees that are less than one foot in diameter can be cut down without permit. If you cut one (over a foot in diameter) down without a permit then you are taking your chances. If nobody complains then you will probably be fine... but it only takes one.
  2. Just don't get caught at the border with it. Plus, the ban is provincial and border is a federal responsibility. You are allowed to use them if you have an infestation; so they are not completely banned.
  3. I have seen it done; an electric motor, not down riggers I saw it on a fishing show. They had an auxiliary tube for the electric motor that was attached to a donought style flow tube.
  4. I think Tohatsu is making some of the Evinrude motors too.
  5. What about for Android? Form what I understand most, if not all, Android apps will run on Blackberry phones.
  6. Montreal Donuts... http://nesn.com/2014/05/montreal-fans-refused-to-eat-boston-cream-donuts-at-bell-centre-photo/ They should have called them Cream Boston donuts and sold out
  7. Have you considered the graphite props with replaceable blades? I think the full prop is priced similar to aluminium; but the blades and hub can be replaced separately; so fixing a damaged prop may be cheaper. E.g. I recently damage a single blade of my prop; with graphite I could have just replaced that one blade. You can also have two sets of blades so you can switch the pitch of the of the prop I don't have the brand name handy; they were at the sportsman show..
  8. Wouldn't issues with tires holding air most likely be an issue with the rims or installation rather than the tire itself?
  9. It will be interesting to see how this works. I am not convinced that this is a good idea. I don't think it will have a significant impact on the zebra population of Lake Winnipeg. I have a hard time believing that it isn't going to kill anything other than zebra muscles. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/eyes-manitoba-tries-blast-zebra-mussels-unique-experiment-140013689.html
  10. Saw this in the paper today. http://metronews.ca/news/world/1027521/aussie-angler-finds-live-frog-inside-fishs-mouth/
  11. I have a rechargeable lawn mower that uses two 12 volt batteries connected in series to produce 24 volts. I leave the batteries connected and hook a regular 12 volt charger to each a single battery and charge one battery at a time. This has worked on the same set of batteries for close to 10 years.
  12. Thanks for the replies. Some good information.
  13. It is illegal to use them as bait in Ontario. I am not sure about the rest of Canada.
  14. During the winter I keep them in the garage. I add snow to replenishing the water. I also fill a water bottle half full of the water and shake it and pour it back in to aerate the water. I usually only keep them a week like this; sometimes a little longer.
  15. Do the Vancouver Canucks count? Also Montreal Maroons were a completely different franchise. Both teams were in the league for quite a few years. Generally the anglophones cheered for the Maroons while the francophones cheered for the Canadiens.
  16. Yes, that and the anti-car attitude from many councilors and the former mayor.
  17. They are just what need to fight Asian carp.
  18. I am planning to get my driveway paved and have some steps built. I live in Scarborough. If anybody has any recommendations about who I should consider (or, who I should avoid), I would appreciate hearing them. I am not yet set on material; I am open asphalt, inter-lock, poured concrete, etc. for the drive way. I am leaning toward concrete for the steps but I would consider other options. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
  19. Polaroids can be scanned... you may not be in the clear yet.
  20. I think my dad had the exact same motor on his old wood boat.
  21. What type of fishing do you plan to do? Cable steer gives better control for fishing tight cover. Power steering models allow you to control the motor from anywhere in the boat; which is better for trolling. Automatic pilot type models include features such as memorizing trolling routes, anchoring the boat (if get a hit while drifting just press button to keep your boat right there). A longer shaft will keep the prop in the water when the waves pickup and when you are standing in the back of the boat. More power full is better. You don't have to use full power when it is not needed. You will be glad to have it when you do. Higher voltage gives better performance but requires more batteries. Do you have a place in the boat for the extra batteries?
  22. Outside on a paved bike path? Or, outside on a rough trail through the woods? The type of riding you plan to do will affect whether a road bike, hybrid, hard tail, or double suspension mountain bike is the best choice.
  23. Perhaps someone can correct me if I am wrong; but I think that notice would include a space where you can fill out counter claim for damages to paid to you. You are the victim of harassment. Perhaps you could point that out to them if they contact you again. I don't see what their claim would be. You are not preventing them from receiving damages; you are simply informing them that it will be the insurance company, not you, signing the cheque.
  24. That cannot happen. They are both western teams.
