A paid banner ad supporting the site would put you in the good books here. It's not a lot of money, but gets you in the face of many fishing folks. Something to consider... HH

As a kid fishing Springbank Park in London, tossing a minnow, no weight into the bottom of the falls at the dam could net you these fish all day long. Caught a few on Quinte in the spring and decided to keep one to try a fish fry... well that won't be happening again! HH

Heading up for three days this weekend. I don't expect to catch anything that will fall in the slot and allow me to have a meal. And I certainly don't expect to bring any fish home... Will report back our findings... HH

Well, it's such a cool song, I would have guessed that it was a cold front! LOL HH

Most of the time when I have met up with them, the exchange has been quick and courteous. What I do have an issue with, is the fines applied to slight indiscretions. Are they really out there to provide a service or are they out there generating revenue? HH

Thanks for posting, looks like fun! Is an "Eminence Front" a cold front or a warm front? LOL HH

I wouldn't worry too much as the Asian Carp will probably get them. HH

I bet he would just love to play for Kennan! LOL HH

I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Kessell tells Babcock "yah, we're not gonna do that" like he did to the assistant coach last year. HH

Safe to assume that pluckin an eye ball here or there for perch bait is not acceptable either? HH

We made beer can canons when we were kids. The old tin beer cans for those of us old enough to remember them, made great canons. Get 5 beer cans and cut the bottoms and tops off of four of them. The remaining can, make a hole with a nail at the bottom side of the can, opposite side of the push/pull opening at the top. This can is your bottom can. Tape all five together with duct tape. Drop in a few drops of lighter fluid and push a tennis ball down the top of the canon, into the second can from the top. I believe that there is a youtube link if you search beer can canon. HH

If you are just wanting to fix it, so you can sell the apartment, I'd look at some of the used appliance shops. They'll deliver, you'll save money and they come with a short term guarantee. That should cover the short term goal. HH

Well, I can only describe my feeling on the matter... the absolute last thing I want to do is hit anybody! I take a great deal of time and caution when bikes are on the road. That means that passing a bike is something I take very seriously and will only do so when the time and space are available to me. To have them then run roughshod over the rules of the road by passing me on the right only makes a difficult situation, more challenging. I just want the bike in my rear view so I don't have to worry about the bike and all the other crap going on in front of me. Another poster in this thread has admitted that they would never wait in line with cars and will circumvent the law and common sense any ole time he feels like it. That's where the hate on for bikes is derived from. HH

I did ask the officer I spoke with why they don't enforce the law and was told there simply aren't enough officers available to do so. Akrisoner, at least you know that you are breaking the law. So is everyone else! My intent was not to bash bikes or their riders, just to find out about the law. HH

I've caught two Largies on the same Rapala, J11 once... but never pickereyes! What a coup! HH

Ok... I finally got a few minutes to look into this, as I was not satisfied with what I learned from this thread. (Not complaining, appreciate everyone's input!) First call was to Service Ontario, who then referred me to MTO, who then referred me to MTO Enforcement, who then referred me to the OPP Hotline, who then referred me to my local police division. What's truly amazing to me, is that none of these "experts" could answer the question definitively. That is until, I contacted my local police division. The answer to my question, is it legal for a bicycle to pass on the right is a resounding NO! The constable I spoke with, said that a bike on the road is under the same rules of the road as any other vehicle and that passing on the right, whether the vehicle being passed is moving or not, is ILLEGAL!!!!!! So, I will get a smidge of satisfaction the next time this happens and I inform my two wheeled friend that they are breaking the law. I know it's not gonna stop them from calling me an annul orifice as they ride into the sunset (or next set of lights!) but I will happy to let them know that at least this annul orifice has his poop together! HH

There may not be anything I can do to stop it, but I would like to know that I am either in the right or not. Chances are pretty good that I'll meet up with the cyclist at the next stop and I sure would like to know that I am in the right, so to speak! HH

Ok Bill, but if they are passing me on the right, while I am in the right lane, are they not passing on the right and is that not illegal? Yah Terry, that's another one that gets me going... and they will be the first to get in your face if they perceive that a car has gotten in their right of way. HH

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this for me... I am wondering if there are any laws being broken, when a bicyclist tries to pass me, on the right at a stop or red light. I know that anyone who has ever driven, has had to deal with the folks on bikes, riding up the curb in order to get to the front of the line at a stop. I'll admit, It DRIVES ME NUTS!!!! I have already taken the extra precaution when I passed them the first time and now I am going to have to do it again. Now, I am not talking about road ways that have a bike lane, I am asking about streets or roads without one. Are these cyclists breaking the law? I sure would like to know so that I can have a civilized and informed conversation while we each jockey for position on the already busy roads. Thanks, HH

Wow! Perchasaurus! That looks like a ton o fun! thanks for the report HH

Tah dah! Awesome and thanks for sharing! HH

I had that problem with my Jimmy. the only solution that worked and temporarily at that, was having the tires re-seated on the rims. Aluminum expands and contracts much more than steel, with temp changes, at least that's what I was told. It was a pain in the bottom, but mostly happened during the fall, winter and spring, when there were fairly drastic temp changes. HH

Well, I can once again re-focus my support to the Leafs, now that Ottawa is out. I can't believe I am saying this, but the run Ottawa took and their play during the playoffs was inspirational. It was a fun run! HH

Who wants the turbines? The company that manufactures turbines wants the province to buy them. They have better connections then the rest of us! HH

Or, simply get the smaller versions of the boards, for smaller water. HH
