  1. Agreed Cliff, just be certain that the power bar you are using is not a cheapo dollar store version. They don't do squat. You have to pay some bucks to get a good one. HH
  2. Just make sure that you un-plug that TV when not in use, once repaired. I would bet that the power supply bit the dust as a result of power spikes, during power outages. HH
  3. I haven't had one in years. I know that folks say that you can't get sick from the shot, but that was not my experience. Maybe is was simply a coincidence, but the last time I got one, I was as sick as I had ever been. Was it the shot or was I already fighting it and didn't know it at the time of the shot? Who knows! All I do know is that I haven't been that sick since and I don't get the shot. HH
  4. Probably just drop the batter on the floor Wayne! HH
  5. I get the "Thank you for choosing West Jet" call twice a week. I haven't used West Jet. Cliff, the best we can do for those who are not up on this nonsense is to talk to them as best we can. Registering them on the "no call" list "could help", but likely not. HH
  6. I got that call a while ago. The lady on the line was down right belligerent with me! (She don't know me very well!) She ended up hanging up on me! LOL HH
  7. The worst part of the job, outside of the price tag, is that it's quite likely that you will be getting rattles in the dash once re-installed. They are never the same again. Good luck to you... HH
  8. Oh yah Wayne, get off the internet and get that danged plow on the tractor... I have a feeling you are going to need it sooner than later! HH
  9. Hire FishnSled to teach you how to back up! Seriously, if you have ever seen him back his boat up his driveway, you would be amazed! I bet there is no more than a foot of space on either side of the boat... and it's up hill and in the colder months icey. Yah, dudes my hero when it comes to backing up a trailer and no he can't see his boat in the rear view! HH
  10. Shot in the dark, but have a look at the back of the unit to make sure all the vents/fans are clear of dust. Most likely it's a power supply issue though as the TV is going into protect mode by turning off. Power surges from lightning storms and power outages (power going off and on) really do a number on them, as long is the TV is plugged in. It doesn't matter whether they are on or not. HH
  11. Sad news... he treated myself and my wife well when we stayed there a dozen years ago. HH
  12. Man, if you only had some smelt to go with that sausage, I'd be there! LOL HH
  13. As always Simon, I enjoyed your videos... still pretty jealous of the dog though! LOL HH
  14. I'm a first gen Canadian, born to European parents. Neither of my parents spoke a lick of English when they arrived here in the late 50's. Heck, they didn't even speak the same language as each other when they met. They both worked the tobacco fields of southern Ontario; hard work for sure. In the neighbourhood where I grew up, we were the exception... all my friends and neighbours were already 2nd gen and I got a lot of heat from them regarding my mom and dad's accents. Our next door neighbor actually called my dad a "deepie". They didn't like the fact that here we were, new Canadians living in the same neighbourhood as these 2nd,3rd or 4th generation Canadians. I guess they just couldn't understand that my folks were more than willing to work hard for a better life for their family. My Dad taught himself to read English and never took a dime he did not earn from anyone. I suspect that the vast majority of new Canadians have exactly the same desires coming to this country. Yes exceptions always exist, but that is what they are, exceptions. HH
  15. Have a good one Terry! HH
  16. Chad, I admire your idealism, I really do! That said, your daughter is still very young and you still have a number of years to consider "your position". However, trust me on this, you are going to have one heck of a time saying no to her when everyone else is celebrating and your daughter is on the side lines. You can't stop Halloween and you can't stop Xmas... and do you really what to be "that Dad"? You may say that now, but trust me, time changes many things! HH
  17. I bet she had fun Cliff! Happy Halloween everyone! HH
  18. Wayne! LOL Money grab, plain and simple. HH
  19. She has an electronic collar that keeps her close to the house. They are really close to town and on private land, so no hunters, unless my buddy decides to shoot some geese! HH
  20. It was expected that the levels would rise this year, given that the Great Lakes froze over completely, which eliminated a great deal of winter evaporation. Good to see it come back up. HH
  21. They named the dog "Kanga" as a puppy since it has exhibited this kind of behavior since then. As my buddy puts it "this stuff is a daily occurrence with this nitwit"! They are in Durham. HH
