Yah Bill, I bought mine when they were first available in Canada. It weighs a ton! The burners look like the day I brought it home, the "body" or frame if you will has deteriorated to the point I am concerned it will just fall over one day soon! What has pushed me to entertain a new grill? One of the valves for the main burners has frozen. My guess would be grime from cleaning the grill has finally gotten into the valve stem and jammed it up. I do entertain a lot, with numbers of people ranging from 10 to 75! My brother, using his Egg, cooked 50lbs of pulled pork on his egg and brought it to a party we had. He also makes his own bacon on it. I have some interest in smoking, but it is not my main concern. Also, my brother uses his egg year round, uses an electric charcoal starter and tells me he can get up to 900F in 15 minutes. That's pretty quick. My biggest issue with the Egg, is a lack of a side burner. I know I can build a system, inclusive of the egg and side burner, but that leads me to a further expense and a construction project to integrate both into one package. So, that's why I am looking at both gas and charcoal. Friends with the high end Napoleon are getting less than a decade out of their BBQ's, maybe I am spoiled! HH

Hi All, Well, my long time cooking companion, my Vermont Castings BBQ is finally starting to give up on me. I bought it a some expense back in 2003. It has served me well and owes me nothing at this point. I am a BBQ kind of guy, and will BBQ all year round, unless and until the outside temp gets below -15C. I am looking for suggestions on what to look at to replace my VC. Price range is in and around the $2K CAD range. I am open to either natural gas or charcoal. My brother has a Big Green Egg and honestly, that is direction I am leaning towards. That said, I am open to suggestions and hoping to get a cross section of advice, based on the international flavour of this site. (see what I did there!LOL). Thanks for you time... HH

There's a bait shop on 69, just north of the hwy 69 bridge over the French. If I recall correctly, just past the Hartley Bay road, on the east side of the hwy. Sorry, can't recall the name of the store. It's in the basement of the owners home. I also think that the store at the Key River and 69 sells bait. HH

Shane, Cliff would bring his guitar and amp and I would bring my bass and amp a few years ago. We haven't done it recently as neither of us want to play Brown Eyed Girl anymore! LMAO! HH

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder Chris! And you hit the nail right on the head. My search is constant, seeking the ugliest most offensive shirt I can find... I am getting close! LOL Thanks for doing the report Cliff! HH

Glad I got the eaves cleaned out as the 2nd T-storm of the afternoon just rolled through... HH

They are worth every penny YOU spend Cliff! LOL HH

I hope you were at the bank getting $$$ for the steaks! LMAO! HH

Well that was quite the light show last night here in Scarborough! As I was watching it from the upstairs bedroom, I noticed that my upper eaves was pouring over onto the lower eaves, so guess who's gonna be on his roof in an hour? Waiting for it to dry a bit before I make the climb. Looks like we have yet another afternoon with potential storms. Oh, and I had to take a full three inches of water out of my pool this morning! Can't believe how much rain we've had of late! HH

What Cliff said! Polish the resume and get looking for a better gig. Stay employed and find a different job. You ware viewed as far more employable while you are working, then when you are not. Jsut be sure that the next company you work for offers what you are seeking as you don't want to be seen as a job hopper. RE the resume - don't just talk about your roles and or functions, talk about your accomplishments. things that you did that helped save the company you are working for; time, process and money. If you can quantify that for a future employer, they will recognize that you can provide value to them. HH

Terry, most Uber drivers don't net fish, just sayin! HH

Is the stop actually set up to stop and catch poachers or is it in reality set up as a revenue generator? I guess it depends on who you ask! HH

Ok, I changed my mind, I'm with Brian on this one! LOL HH

The pool's gone up an inch and a half since yesterday Cliff! HH

At least he could have used the stainless screws through the hull, so they won't rust! What a buffoon! HH

I'm with Terry and Sinker on this one. When we give away one of our rights, the next one seems easy to let go as well. HH

We4ll we have a forecast for tomorrow and heavy rain and east winds to 35k. Might consider staying away from that pier for a bit! HH

Still cheaper than a Leaf's playoff game! I was at game three of the Leaf's playoff run. My buddy has been a season's ticket holder for years. Face value of the ticket was not mentioned on the actual ticket, but past experience tells me they were about $400 a pop. Four beers with tip was close to $75. Food is stupid expensive. The place was packed.I would much rather watch it on TV. HH

So cool to see... thanks for sharing. HH

Come on Lew, that 2nd pic looks like a decent Pickereye chop!!!! LOL Looks pretty nasty to me, thanks for sharing Lew. HH

Every time Brian, every time! LOL I'd say yah got off lucky! LOL HH

I tried to turn on the game last night, but CBC was airing three hours of video showing paint dry. HH
