  1. I have heard of a couple good massage places in thr GTA
  2. Hence the fence. I wasn't taking any chances of the dog knocking them into it either. It was just a little picket fence made from 1x2 pine, varnished up to look nice, and removable so I could get to it for emptying ashes and such
  3. My daughter was 3 and my son was 6 months old when I got my house with a wood burning stove. I built a little picket fence around it to keep them away.
  4. Going with what flow...and why. A hundred and sixty thousand dollars a year..you realize thats $80.00 an hour. Do they do eighty dollars an hour worth of work? Lemmings follow the flow, and not for eighty dollars an hour..for money like that, you make up your own mind...or listen to the people that gave you the job. They say, oh, I'm really busy...for eighty dollars an hour, you better be busy,,,and doing something too. Oh yeah...I never got my call back...he musta been busy
  5. some places have banned them because of sucky neighbors complaining. I heat with wood now, and my next house will have wood as well. Who can afford gas or electric!!
  6. What do I want to use in my four stroke. I'm fishing starting tomorrow and its snowing right now. What kind of gas line antifreeze do I use. I heard its different between a 4 and 2 stroke
  7. Can you use insulated chimney pipe?
  8. I'm a bit suprised that he can stand there and say "You people don't know whats best for you. I will show you the way" It really bothers me. How are your MP's voting on this?
  9. so where are they right now? I'm hitting St Joes for a week of deer and taking the boat to include a bit of fishing
  10. I called his office today and was told that he would return my call. The woman that answered the phone had no interest whatsoever in why I was calling
  11. What a crock. Tony Martin admits that he knows his constituents don't want a gun registry but he doesn't care. He is voting the way HE wants to. WE pay his wages, WE elected him to put represent US, not his personal beliefs. He says that police associations support the registry. Of course they do. It restricts our freedoms and makes their job easier. This is the problem with politicians nowadays. They get in power and think they are personally running things. We are not their flock. They work for us and should do what we want.. http://www.saultstar.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2156980 Martin will vote against gun bill PARLIAMENT: Sault MP will not support move to scrap registry Posted By ELAINE DELLA-MATTIA, THE SAULT STAR Posted 1 day ago Sault MP Tony Martin is sticking to his guns -- or rather, the gun registry. He plans on voting against a Conservative private member's bill later this week that, if passed, would see the abolishment of the Canadian gun registry. Bill C-391, put forth by MP Candice Hoeppner (Portage-Lisgar), and now into second reading, would ultimately abolish the registry for long-gun owners. It also proposes to destroy all existing registration records for long-gun owners. Martin, who admits that the gun registry system isn't perfect, said it is endorsed by many groups and associations, including the Canadian Police Association and the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, and is a tool used to protect society as a whole. Recently, the Sault Ste. Marie Conservative Association called on Martin to support the bill and end the registry, which the Conservatives call wasteful and ineffective. The campaign, which includes radio ads paid for by the Conservative Association, encourages area residents to make their views known to Martin prior to the Nov. 4 vote. The Conservatives are also pointing the finger at Liberals, who initially implemented the legislation. Martin said he's received a number of phone calls but won't change his position on the issue. "I understand the strong sentiments of the area residents and I've given this issue long and hard thought," Martin said. "but the statistics show that violence with long guns has been reduced significantly since the registry was brought in and that's sufficient enough to support retaining the registry." Conservative association president Josh Pringle said "it's obvious that Mr. Martin is not listening to his constituents." Advertisement Pringle called the registry, established under a Liberal government, "a complete disaster" that needs to be scrapped. "The time is now for Mr. Martin to listen to his constituents and use his free vote as they request," Pringle said. Sault Ste. Marie's federal Liberal candidate Christian Provenzano said the issue is about politics and not policy. H e charged that the Conservatives, over the past four elections, have run against the gun registry but haven't introduced a government bill to scrap it. "If they were serious about it, it would be a government bill, not a private member's bill," Provenzano said. "The core issue here is not about gun control but about how to implement a registry to law abiding farmers and hunters and gun owners without infringing on their rights," he said, arguing that abolishing the registry is not the answer. Provenzano said he's spoken to many gun owners, hunters and farmers about the issue, one that he is personally working on. Martin agreed that instead of having the registry scrapped, he'd rather see changes made to it that will increase its effectiveness, reduce intrusiveness and lower costs of maintaining it. He also wants to see the Canadian government working closer with the U. S. government to reduce gun smuggling, put more police on the streets, increase funding to keep kids out of gangs, add more guns to the list of restricted weapons and take stronger measures to limit the sales of guns on the Internet. Provenzano said that he would "rather fail while trying to unite the people rather than succeed by trying to divide them," a common tactic he says is used by Conservatives.
  12. Nice fish. Whats a reef runner and what method do you use to get down 45'?
  13. Do they taste any different?
  14. I didn't notice that at first...you now rate a great bug DUH from me
  15. I don't really have a problem with HST coming in. What I have a problem with is the huge increase in taxes because of it. The that crook McGuinty wanted to be fair at all, it would be coming in at something like 5 and 5 to make it 10, not 5 and 8. They are taking way more tax dollars in and we will see no increase in services for it. It will go to political pet projects for re election. And you know it won't stay at 13, it will grow, anf there will be nobody to blame when it does because the feds and provincials weill just point and say, it wasn't me that raised it, it was them.
  16. And how do you think it would look with a stand up top...easy to land a fish, just open the door and drag it in
  17. How would you pay at a boat launch? And does it have front wheel drive to get out, or do you have to back out...what about rod storage?
  18. Just the weak ones die off from alcohol..the strong ones survive. Think of it as a cleansing. And I'm done arguing ploitics...it just gets me angry.
  19. We didn't ask them to borrow it. We asked them to try and do something about the recession. They use that as a blank cheque to get all their pet projects through and leave us with a massive debt. I still don't understand how we sold off all of our power generation facilities and we are still paying for them. Not only that, we are paying to build more capacity for private enterprise to own. Poor planning on our governments part has killed Ontario's manufacturing sector. This property reassesment is a scam too. My property taxes are going up 20% and I have to pay to have the city haul my neighbors leaves away.
  20. I think you are out of line there Irishfield. A lot of people have no choice in the matter We don't need it as a new normal. The new normal seems to be politicians being so used to lyeing that it is normal now. That crook McGuinty said NO New Taxes. This is a new tax.. I can understand the harmonizing part, but not at the same rate. It wouldn't have to be on electricity if the people of Ontario still owned the power plants they are paying for. And all the new ones we are subsidizing construction on for the big guys They are taking taxes to impress us with new spending...how much new spending do we really need? cripes, we are pretty comfortablenow. Maybe a little more on poverty, but a little less tax on some industries(forestry) wouldn't hurt. The government is handing you a line of crap...why do you insist on buying it
  21. I was here a few years ago. really nice place. http://www.foxlakelodge.com/FoxLakeLodge.htm I have caught some decent bass there
  22. Had to bring up cold eh.... This shot is warming up before a long days ride. It was only -15F but we left at 8 am and got there at 6 pm. Total miles for the day was 304.6...yes, miles. The next day we rode back. I think I totaled 1100 miles for the week. stupid pic won't post again
  23. holy crap..they have a forum for everything
  24. You fish with guys that wear skirts now? Well, that marriage didn't last
  25. A few years ago this guy took me out steelheading. I wasn't too sure of it and he was going to show me the method for bottom bouncing. He jumped in the river and picked what I was looking at as the best spot. There was a spot where the fast was meeting alongside the slow water. He was casting out near there but not quite to the spot. I was above and couldn't get to it while he was there. I told him a few times...Johnny, you gotta get further out to there..there is a fish out there. He just wouldn't do it. He finally gave up and moved off. I stepped in and said, here, he is right in there, and casted to it, I missed by a few feet and took another shot. this one went where I wanted, drifting right into the eddy I had picked out.....BAM fish on.... I just knew there was a fish sitting in there but you gotta get right on top of em.
