Heading there this aft, I'll check!! P

Will do Taco. On the way down can I borrow a chain?! You gotta have some around your place, all rednecks do!! LoL P

Yup you absolutely correct!! It's used for building pallets and fence posts!! Totally worth while (from a cost/benefit analysis) if you ask me!! P

Me too! I went down to protest at the McDougle Centre earlier this year and I have written letters!! So I'm allowed to bitch! P

If anyone has a line on some "reasonable" parking near the Holy Cross Hospital in Calgary during regular business hours (slight variations Mon & Fri), please let me know. Thanks, Peter

Yeah that's the one Neil!! Now find me a recipe!! P

Yeah two words... Carbon Fiber... = not cheap!!

Yeah probably not what the owner intended for use of a fleet vehicle... Though not my choice in recreation, I didn't see a problem with what they were doing as they seemed to be on a designated trail... That was until the one guy tossed the piece that ripped off of the under carriage (or what ever it was) into the bushes, as well as the guys drinking beer (I'm pretty sure they didn't pack their bottles out - but that's pure speculation on my part... P

Nice work Mike!! Very nice work! P

Yeah ok... Darrin & Craig!! LoL P

Yeah I LOVE your boat Jay and I'm SUPER jealous! I just hope the new ones offer the option to stand and cast!! LoL! Looking forward to some more invites next season! Cheers, P

Wow! Great service!! I just wanted to pass along a shout out to the FFC members that work at Honda West (I'm not sure if it's appropriate to name drop)! They went above and beyond helping us out with info pertaining to a soon to be purchase for my dad! Thanks for your help guys!! Cheers, P

Dale, I'm still curious about why the report says "Registered in New York"?! Maybe that was where it crossed the boarder?! And he is selling it b/c he wants something bigger... P

I just pulled the Carfax report and for the most part it seems ok... A couple of things that stand out. Registered in both Georgia and Windsor which is consistent with what the seller has stated... Then when it details it's registration in Windsor on 08/07/2009, it lists that it passed safety inspection, the correct color, that it has been registered in New York (but then that doesn't show up on the report?! Huh?!), and it also lists the mileage as 40,049 kms. Then it states that between 08/02/2009 & 02/02/2010 the odometer reading was reported with ~9000 LESS Kms (which could be a clerical error, I suspect). We have confirmed that it presently has ~ 50,000... Do you think this is a red flag?! Also says he shipped it out here from Windsor... Obviously the Alberta registration doesn't show up in this report as he says it was only registered last week (easy enough to check at any registry, plus he has a valid license on the vehicle, etc.)... P

Mom & Dad's car died last week so they are looking to buy a used vehicle (not sure if through a dealership or private sale, at this point...). Dad and I went out this morning to look at one and it seems to be in pretty good shape (if we get to a point where we will consider purchasing it we will take it to our mechanic, etc.). The guy that is selling it moved up here from Georgia to Windsor, Windsor to Calgary (said his family purchase the car new, etc. in Georgia) - also had all the upgrades needed to bring it into Canada (daytime running lights, miles to kms, etc.). I know there is a way to check out (at least) the registration/ownership in the USA. Can anyone tell me how I have a little bit of info I'm looking at expanding (car fax/car proof?)... Thanks, Peter

Colin, Your probably right... My exp. with returning lines is that the specific shop must send in the line to get a reimbursement (at least that is what I've been told they had to do)... My other motive was to try and save hybridfive a couple of bucks in postage plus his time & effort... My "bashing" was directed at WSS b/c they (historically) don't tend to provide customer service like they should (they also refuse to send in rods that were purchased there for warrantee issues and place the onus on the consumer/purchaser to do what I would expect to be THEIR job - as that is the essence of customer service), I guess I was trying to illustrate that one should support a business that stands behind the products they sell (& manufactures they represent) instead of passing the buck (so to speak)... P

Better yet, take it back to where you bought it and get them to send it in!! Oh yeah, Wholesale Sports won't do that (next time go to a dedicated fly shop [any of the sponsored shops on here] and they'll take care of you!)!! P

Purchased a couple of these yesterday at Fishtales and the fish where we were fishing were slamming them under a hopper (no surprise)... Can anyone pass along a pattern, they seem pretty easy to tie (if in fact they were tied with an oval chrome bead - presume you could get these at Michaels?! Thanks, P

I prefer GPX over Rio Grand (for all my fast action rods - Rio grand has a slightly longer head so it roll casts like a dream, but doesn't loat the rod as good as the GPX - IMHO) and Rio gold for my medium & med/fast action rods! For over-lining a 10' 5wt, I would 1st try the 5 wt GPX as it's a 1/2 wt heavier (borrow someone's & give it a chuck) and then move up from there... P

Yeah when I try the old name it shows up on the available networks, but won't allow me to connect... Not that big a deal at this point though... Thanks, P

Are they neoprene or trip-lam membrane (like goretex)? If the former, MEC, scuba shops and anywhere that sells wet suits will sell some special soap to clean neoprene, if the latter use a specific wash (like Granger's) for goretex (or other laminents) and follow the instructions to also restore waterproofness, etc. P

Thanks BiggyJ for helping me out last night! One little hiccup is that it still won't allow me to connect with my old network name (really weird as I can set up the network under that name, but it won't allow me to connect)... Cheers, P

I needed to reset my wireless router recently (was no longer showing up on the iBook and still showing up on the iMac but wasn't allowing me to connect) and I can't for the life of me get it working again beyond an unsecured network (my neighbor set it up for me about 4 - 5 years ago). Anyway can anyone walk me through it?! It's a Hawking HWRGM1A. I can access the website, but I'm not sure what to input within the required fields. Depending on how much work it takes there might be some beer (or another beverage) in it for whom ever helps... Cheers, Peter

Used to track fish during the spawn (possibly for bullies). Contains the receiving part of the electronic tagging system.

Don't cheap out! Simms and Patagoina are the best and have the best guarantee/warrantee bar-none!! P
