I don't know Wayne, Dano was probably pretty stressed when you guys had to wake him up to catch that Pickereye! HH

I won't be able to express my feelings on this as it is a family oriented board! I will suggest though, that the money they are going to give those who's combined family income is below $160,000.00 will be deemed as taxable income, so based on your salary, expect to pay alot of it back. Combine this new tax with the City of Torontos cumlative taxes on it's residents and I won't be surprised if down town Toronto starts to look like Detroit in the not so distant future. HH PS.. I have heard Premier "Norman Bates" say multiple times to the media that this new blended tax will be "good for Ontario", but to date, I have not heard specifically how it will be good. Once again, great sales job your doing Premier Doink!

In the big picture of things, I don't think it makes a difference... if it did, commercial netters would not have nets full of fish to pull up. If line spooked fish, they wouldn't swim head first into 100lb plus mono net strung arcoss the river or lake. HH

The Barbie rod has a molded handle that well, I probably can't put down either... I don't balme ya one bit Gerritt! HH

Thanks all! HH

Hi folks, I have a client of mine who has taken an interest in the outdoors. He has no experience in the outdoors and is eager to learn things like survivalist training, etc. Does anyone know who he could get in contact with? Are there individuals or company's I could suggest to him. Appreciate your consideration! HH

Happy B-day bud! Like the cake pic, too bad there's a big ugly mug ruining the picture! LMAO HH

Thanks Wayne! You may be holding the net for a long long time! LOL HH

Lending a net is no diffferent to me than helping someone stuck in a snow drift, out on Simcoe. You help because it's the right thing to do... you lend your net for the same reasons. If you don't, well, the Karma gods will find you. If you don't want to lend it out, why not net it for them yourself? I guess I'm a little more open to helping others then some here. If yah lent your net and it comes back broken, you got no one to blame but yourself. If you help them land the fish, you may end up with a friend, future fishing partner etc... to my mind, that's worth a heck of a lot more than the value of a net. HH

Can't help you with the trip G, but I do know that they have tons of lemons down there! HH

Here's my 2 cents! I BBQ probably 100 to 150 days a year, you name it, I do it one the BBQ. About 9 years ago, I got tired of replacing burners in my cheap Broil Mate. I did some research and found that one of the keys to a good BBQ is it's abilty to provide steady, consistant and even heat across the grill. I bought a Vermont Castings and am still running it today. The BBQ is virtually all porceline enamelled, the grills, cover and body. The grills themselves are cast iron coated with porcelin... I have never had and cracking, flaking etc... and I cook all year round. Like anything you buy, by in large, you get what you pay for. Quality parts cost more, it's pretty simple. The Big Green Egg is an awesome cooking machine, but it requires a lot of planning as like any charcoal burner, it takes time. One should also consider the warranty available on your next BBQ. My brother bought a Napoleon grill 12 years ago. About two years ago, he had a leaky burner. He called the shop he bought it at and they said they would send someone over to take a look... now remember, this was 9 or 10 years AFTER HE BOUGHT IT. He came home from work a few days later and noticed his BBQ wasn't where he left it... took a look and what did he find... the repair guy have replaced the burner, cleaned up the whole BBQ and no bill! That's service folks and you can be sure that the next BBQ he buys will be a Naploeon. Ducane makes a fabulous grill, they are just hard to find. I see there are many Weber fans here, personally, I won't have one! For the price, I can do much better with a Napoleon. Webers feel cheap to me, flimsy, thin metal and just plain cheap. Remember the key to a great grill is heat retention and I just can't see that happening with their thin cheap metal. IMHO! I wouldn't buy a BBQ without a side burner and I won't buy a BBQ that isn't natural gas. Many above have already mentioned the pain of propane tanks. My V.C has a side burner (corn in the summer!!!!), an infrared rotiseriery (sp) back burner and an "overn" burner. All have their applications, all get their use... don't discount anything, until you have tried it! Good luck... but think NAPOLEON! HH

Simply, you can't teach heart! I watched the game Saturday night, Montreal had no heart and no desire to fight for what they wanted. Kovalev does not seem interested in going past, playing through the motions and as we have seen in the past, how Kovalev goes, so goes the Habs. No heart, no wins! HH

It sounds to me that you have made a good decision. One dealer was interested in providing a level of service and the other was simply moving a product. As for the above statement, I find it rather insulting to the O.P. who only asked a valid question. He did not ask for the extra's, they were thrown in as the O.P. is a customer. A customer who will network with friends and a customer who will recommend this service to friends and aquaintences. Suggesting that the O.P. requires someone to bait his hook, to me and in my humble opinion in bad taste and well, offensive. Now excuse me while I go looking for someone to bait my hook! HH

Awe, man, imagine my disapointment when I thought I read "Two red heads go fishing" only to see those less than attractive non red heads in the pics! Thanks for the report... please try to read my mind better in the future! HH

I have heard that the rain last weekend did some pretty bad things to the ice. Any cracks should be avoided as the run off from the rain, really hit the cracks hard. Be careful out there and yah, this weekend will be pretty busy with folks gettin their shacks off the ice by midnight! HH

It seems to me then, that Bob's guiding service would do well advertising on this site. Given the obvious laurels that he is receiving, it would make a get deal of sense to me anyway, that he invests a miniscule amount of his guiding money to better promote his service. Obviously there is a desire from his friends to make us members aware of his service. I hope you guys have a great spring on the river and look forward to your reports! HH

Awesome! Congrats to you and you growing family... let the insanity begin! lol HH

Great Vid man! Nice fish as well! I couldn't help but notice that as the video went on, your hands were beginning to match your red coat!!! Thanks for posting! HH

Welcome to OFC! Just in case you need it, the Addiction Research Centre has a room set aside for all OFC'ers, just in case the board goes down again or your ISP has service delivery issues... there's safety in numbers ya know! HH

I would think that a 40hp 4 stroke would be too much weight in the back end... as mentioned, I would sell the 40 and get a 25 -30hp. HH

Oh, I agree with you John, it's not the end all, be all answer, but it sure does seem to me to be a better option than just throwing money at them! I would suggest that government based incentives would help to create a chain reaction in the economy, from parts to final assembly, which in turn, will trickle down through the economy. Couple that with consessions from the workers and there might be something there! At any rate, I don't think GM is savable at this point. The CAW negoiated a $6-7/hour decrease for it's membership, while GM asked for $25! Still costing the company about $75../hr per employee! (including benefits etc...) HH

Thanks God my wife doesn't come here... actually, for more reasons than that beautiful pup! Good luck, I'm sure a good home will be found. HH

I heard the president of Ford of Canada on the radio today, dude made sense! He said that bailing out GM and or Chrysler in not the way to make them viable... his thought was to make money more available to the public and provide incentives to the consumer, to get them into show rooms and ultimately, buying again. Sure make more sense to me than simply dropping money into the problem! HH

Serg, you will probably garner more and better info if you would take some time to describe to us, what kinda fish, you past experience and most importantly, what your signature dish is! HH

Bernie, that's terrible news! Hobbes was great, sitting on my feet while we watched TV... sorry for you loss my friend! HH
