  1. Here the MNR site: try clicking the fishing license on the front page http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/
  2. To The Rescue A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy butcher board, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his iPod.
  3. Thanks, I was able to get the three year fishing license as well.
  4. Were you able to get a three year fishing license as well? I didn't see that option when I tried to renew.
  5. That doesn't seem to be the case. Although it does appear that the three year license option has been eliminated... I wonder whose idea that was.
  6. Reminds me of my old boss who always claimed that he was "busier than a one armed paper hanger". He never did much; except talk about being busy.
  7. Yes, it did. I think it was when Al-Can sold it to OMC. I think Princecraft was a separate company at one time... Princecraft and Springbok may been merged into one.
  8. Of all the stores that you listed; I would recommend EB Games. The staff there are gamers who will have knowledge about the products they sell.
  9. Good point; I never thought of that.
  10. I think that I heard something about Sony starting to charge for on-line gaming. I assume that it would be for PS4 only.
  11. Hmmm Chinook, Atlantic, and eel... Does this give us a fish that fights like an Atlantic, has the growth rate of a Chinook with the life span of an Atlantic and then goes to the Sargasso Sea to spawn? If so, when can we start stocking Lake Ontario?
  12. I meant that foam can become waterlogged as the boat ages. This would be especially true for boats that are left unattended at docks for days at a time. If water is left in the boat for a few days it would get absorbed by the foam. That was the case for my boat. Even without water logged foam; I would not be surprised if a large 4 stroke motor and a few deep cycle batteries could defeat the flotation.
  13. The foam can become waterlogged over time. I know that a small piece of foam from my old boat broke off in sank to the bottom of the bilge area. It wasn't too long after that that my boat sank. I have been told that the new foam is better. My old boat was a early nineties model. Also kept the boat at the dock so it was often full of water. It probably wouldn't be as much of an issue if the boat trailered when not in use.
  14. I don't think that his comment was disrespectful to your career; it simply pointed out that knowing how to butcher a cow is different than knowing how to raise a cow.
  15. By no means am I an anti GMO fanatic; but, my understanding of 'Roundup ready' crops was that they were more tolerant of Round Up which allowed farmers to use higher doses of Roundup on the crops. How does this lead to lower use of herbicides?
  16. Would the OPP officer have shot it? Do they have a policy on this; or, is it up to the officer?
  17. Getting two or more muskies on at once would fun.
  18. Which one? They did explain that they had cut hooks off of some lures to keep within the four hook rule.
  19. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C05TrzVCEF8 Interesting video. I assume the fish must be able to get in there from the lake somehow.
  20. That is an ironic policy for a company founded by someone who only eats meat if he killed the animal himself. The sad part is that it most likely would have been one of her friends that reported it.
  21. Conditions can change a lot faster than you can paddle a canoe from the nuke plant all the way to the Rouge River. With water temperatures around 40 degrees fahrenheit, tipping or getting swamped could easily become fatal. I hope that you are least keeping close to shore.
  22. Don't forget to put a sheet of Styrofoam underneath it.
  23. I was in a Princecraft. The ones I was talking to were in a Legend. I didn't get there until the afternoon.
  24. Was that the Pickering plant? I was out this afternoon (not in a canoe though) and didn't get anything either. Spoke to another group and they didn't get a bite either.
