I gotta agree with Terry, Garry2rs and a few others. I have a good buddy who fished the PWT for about 5 years, as both an amateur and a Pro. Four days of pre-fishin some of the nastiest conditions ( read Lake Erie with a 40 MPH west wind...) then, three days of fishin in THUNDERSTORMS, fighting 9 footers.. well I know my feeble body would have tossed in the towel pretty early on in that debacle! Then, as mentioned, pack 'er all up, drive to Wisconsin and start it all over again! It does a real job on body and machine! I've got a real measure of respect for folks who choose to make a living this way... so I say Sport! HH

I have a friend who has had a long standing theory as to what is a sport and what is not. His definition is a follows; "it's only a sport if you can drink beer out of the trophy"! So, based on this theory, the Stanley Cup and the Grey Cup are representative of the only two "real" sports out there!LOL HH

I think hunting "cougars" is a sport! HH

Can't agree with you more Wayne! My normal commute home is about 45 minutes, door to door! Yesterday, I left the office at 4:30 and arrived home at 7:05! At one time, we actually managed to get up to 40k! If you are not confident driving in this stuff, STAY HOME! HH

Sure puts a lot of things in perspective, now doesn't it? Thanks for posting that... some real food for thought. HH

As some may know, I recently (June 07) sold and bought a new to me house. My old house was built in 1932 and still have most of it's original wiring, knob and tube, on the 2nd floor. I knew it, my real estate agent knew it and we handled it this way; - my agent paid for my house inspection, (on the house I was selling) using an inspector that is also tied to an insurance company. He obviously caught that fact that at least 5 circuits were knob and tube. He than told me and my agent that if I replaced all the two wire recepticles with ground fault recepticles, he would pass the house and in turn, GUARANTEE insurance on the house. -so, when the house hit the market, there was a completed and passed home inspection sitting on the dinning room table for potential buyers to see. - I did not get a house inspection on the new house... past experience told me to save my $400! IT's simply a waste of money! It is not required by the banks/lenders any more. Your lender only wants a guarantee on TITLE SEARCH these days. With so many folks having their homes sold out from underneath them, the banks only care for the Title search. -I have some buddies in the building business look at my new house... I'm sure that most of us have someone in the know in the construction industry that could help them out. No fancey bound report, but with my $400.00 still in my pocket, I'll make notes!LOL Rick, I don't think that you have any real recourse with your previous inspector... the industry is based on peoples insecurities and there really are no ramifications to their ineptitude! Regarding your panel, I agree with Taper, not your problem... if it passed inspection when installed, it's fine. If prospective buyers are turning away based on that, then your agent should be asking them why they are considering buying a 100 year old house? If they want modern, tell them to go buy a brand new house! I hope things work out for yah... I'd be talking to my agent and finding out what they are going to be willing to do, to help you sell the house and in turn, make them a big fat commission.! My agent went beyond the call of duty, in order to get my business. They included: -replacing old dated light fixtures and installing them on her dime -painting my veranda - her dime -staging my house with her furniture - her dime -paid for the home inspection - her dime -lined up insurance for the prospective buyers I could go on, but ... your agent is the key to your success... I wish you the best of luck! HH PS... just a note about knob and tube... it has been functioning in my old house for 75 years! Flawlessly, I might add... personally, I think the whole knob and tube "scare" is simply yet another revenue generating vehicle for the insecure. Heck, if it was gonna blow up, wouldn't it have done so some time within the last 75 years!LOL Rick, see if you can get someone to insure it as it stands, before you start dropping thousands into it!

That was a great video, thanks for posting! I agree, the smile on the little one made my day! HH

NOt to be-little the importance of this message, but when was the last time you saw a car that did not have running lights on, all the time? I received this message yesterday and am wondering if this is fact real? If it is, then it's yet another example of our society slowly falling to it's knees! HH

Thanks for posting this Mo, it really is very heartening to know that so much good has come from this event. And to get the information from the French's, well it kinda warms the heart! Thanks again and hoping to make it to the event again! HH

No need for all this trade talk... the Leafs are gonna make the playoffs! I believe that the meds, have kicked in! I'd be a lot upset at their season so far, if I wasn't so heavily medicated! HH

Wilson's is definately open! I drive by it every day! They are located right across the street from the Moss Park Armoury on Queen Street, near Jarvis... FRH... they moved over the summer. HH

I have a 96 Jimmy and have recently (within the last year) had similar problems. Stupid question, but did you try engaging the 4 x 4 with the vehicle in Park? That was the trick for mine, after the mechanic cleaned out all the guck in the front end... I don't put it into 4X4 enough and the gunk plugs up the various vacuum lines etc... putting the truck into park, then engaging the 4x4 has worked well for us this winter season. I hope someone else chimes in for ya as well! HH

It is amazing how many times that catfish has eaten that ball! Sorry for that... we've seen that one a number of times! HH

FOr a good example of their devastation in Toronto, just take a walk along the Leslie Spit, you'll find all your stomach can handle! HH

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...in_page_id=1770 Can't help but think that this is what these darn things are doing all over our province! HH

I would 2nd the suggestion of using snap weights to achieve the depth you want. Again, speed with be a huge factor in being able to repeat success. Sounds like it would be fun though! HH

Sorry Wayne, it's actually on the CBC, coast to coast! A rare Thursday nighter giving the entire country a taste of what it's like to be a Leaf fan! But it would be pretty funny to see the Leafs win! Could you imagine the embarrassment the Habs would feel if they actually lost the the "Loafs"! HH

Ok, what I want to know is what did that poor BBQ ever do to you? How about a cover on that thing? Poor little guy, sitting all alone, covered in snow, you should be ashamed of yourself! I hope you don't expect your next bbq meal to come out right! LOL HH

Based on all the eamials I receive, the word has gotten out that I to have a short shaft... Luckily, I've managed to convince my wife that this ___________ is twelve inches! Funny, all the rulers in the house are that long too! HH

Praise the lord and pass the biscuits, Al Linder's coming to town! HH

Shena is.... a punk rocker! Well done CLiff, although I don't think you were loud enough! HH

Lools like someone is going to have to start bidding on yet another tackle storage system!LOL Congrats Wayne! HH

I was watching CNN last night, and they reported that there were something like 31,000 lightning strikes per hour as a result of that front that went through the U.S. yesterday. Glad to hear our OFNer's state side are ok... that was one nasty bit of weather! HH

updated from a "Watch" to a "warning". Guys, I'm a frost bitten Canadian boy who can handle the cold and snow with the best of them... but to be honest, my 50 minute commute will grow into a 90 minute commute very quickly if what they say is coming, arrives. On the bright side, my son and I will be able to put a second story on the snow fort we built on Sunday! HH

Sorry for the news, my thoughts and that of my family will be with you and TonyB. HH
