  1. I've heard that too but figured it wasn't worth grousing about!
  2. ....but 5 years later they are still walleye!!
  3. Thx kuha and Costa for clearing that up. Is the one shown on the link a better quality than at CT? The price is similar.
  4. I'll be looking for a battery soon too. Glad to see this thread. What's a 'ups' or is that a typo? thx
  5. I think the short answer to that question is that it's close to CFB Petawawa
  6. Don't take it personally. The OP wasn't trying to belittle you!!
  7. Well maybe the guy has a relatively minor problem in that it's safe to drive slowly a few kms to the nearest exit.
  8. Like I said above, that news report is cockeyed. The reporter seemed intent on giving it a certain type of spin and it looks like he succeeded. Here's a better one: http://blogs.windsorstar.com/2014/02/10/brutal-winter-helps-great-lakes/
  9. That's quite a misleading report. Of course they will remain below average! As the article says, they have been falling below average for the last 15 years. You'd hardly expect levels would recover in 1 year. But if you read further down you can see that they are predicting quite a nice rebound this year. It also says the study commissioned by the IJC recommended that gov'ts 'investigate installing water control structure, They did not recommend that because they be specifically told in their mandate not to make recommendations re these structures. It also says that that dredging of the St. Clair river produced a 'significant' drop. While that may be true in the most literal sense, the study showed that the effect was minor compared to others such as evaporation.
  10. The problem is that 90% of drivers consider themselves above average---seriously, that's no joke!!
  11. I've been skunked so many times on Simcoe that I'm used to the smell!!
  12. No offence, but I think Steel Bunny is a tad better looking!!
  13. Welcome aboard. But before you can really fit in here you have to tell us all where you stand re the Leafs! You an post those comments on page 160 or so on the thread just below, or maybe just above!
  14. You'd probably lose interest in finding fish, catching fish or eating fish if she was on board!!
  15. Old age ain't for wimps...but it beats dying young. Two medical students were walking along the street when they saw an old man Walking with his legs spread apart. He was stiff-legged and walking slowly. One student said to his friend: "I'm sure that poor old man has Peltry Syndrome. Those people walk just like that." The other student says: "No, I don't think so. The old man surely has Zovitzki Syndrome. He walks slowly and his legs are apart, just as we learned in class." Since they couldn't agree they decided to ask the old man. They approached him And one of the students said to him, "We're medical students and couldn't help But notice the way you walk, but we couldn't agree on the syndrome you might have.. Could you tell us what it is?" The old man said, "I'll tell you, but first you tell me what you two fine medical students think." The first student said, "I think it's Peltry Syndrome." The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong." The other student said, "I think you have Zovitzki Syndrome." The old man said, "You thought - but you are wrong." So they asked him, "Well, old timer, what do you have?" The old man said, "Well, I thought it was GAS - but I was wrong, too!" _________________ Old fishermen never die---they just smell that way.
  16. Yeah, they say the same about snapping your fingers to keep elephants away but it has worked for me so far. Rather hit a deer than an elephant though!!
  17. OK Drop bike off at takeout--lock to tree Paddle downstream Unlock bike, lock canoe to tree Bike to vehicle Drive to take-out to get bike.
  18. My friend used to take a bike with him, with his canoe on top. Then he would pedal(not paddle) back up from Paris or Glenn Morris, (depending on where he put in) along the bicycle trail(which, I believe, is paved).
  19. I guess some Swedish fans were surprised!
  20. Oh, for a while I thought it was sports!!
  21. From Glen Morris to Paris in canoe 1 Sun aft was the best bass fishing ever! The 2 of us caught 20-30!
