x 2!! I hate walking into a pristine mtn lake, hiking trail, backpacking spot and seeing the same thing!! Totally inconsiderate and disrespectful if you ask me!!!! P

Brad you're on crack. <--poke--< You can totally see it's eyebrow!! P

Dustin, I use an 8 wt for my pike/bully rod with a Snowbee XSD Cartridge reel (comes with 5 cartridges so you can put on a variety of lines). Great drag at a great price!! If you want to take them for a chuck, lemme know... P

LoL! You think that's cheap... Try getting stuff down in Mexico where you DON'T even need an Rx (not that I'm advocating illegally importing Rx meds from Mexico ) LoL! P

18 wheelers blowing by or passing on the highway exceeding the speed limit by A LOT (especially through the National Parks - actually anyone speeding in the National Parks chaps my hide!)! P

Also remember that public schools are out for Christmas vacation (last Friday) and Catholic schools are not (yet). http://newsroom.calgary.ca/pr/calgary/calg...page_rss=165905 As the new school year begins the streets will be busy again with children heading to classes and a new start time for school zones comes into effect. School zone hours have been adjusted to begin 30 minutes earlier than the previous 8 a.m. start time; they will now begin at 7:30 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. “This change will help increase safety for children who attend schools with an early start time”, says The City’s Director of Roads, Ryan Jestin. “This will also provide additional safety for children who are involved in extracurricular activities prior to the school day.” The school zone change has been in effect since August 1, 2010. Although there are different start dates for the various schools, the earliest classes begin is August 5. The Calgary Police Service monitor and enforce speeds in school zones throughout the year. “Public safety is the number one priority for us and this change is an important step towards keeping our children safe. Motorists need to be aware of the dangers of speeding through school zones and must slow down”, says Constable Jim Lebedeff of the Calgary Police Service Traffic Section. Motorists are reminded to slow down when in school zones and to pay extra attention when driving through these areas. Watch for children walking and cycling to school and heed school safety patrols.

Curious... Why are there 2 separate petitions up on the petition site? P

Question is... Why does your B-I-L keep selling you lemons?! LoL P

Yeah, I observed a grater/plow making one pass down the middle of our street!!

John, I've rented from Sports Rent in the past and others I know have rented from the U of C. Neither rents rowing frames. BowRiver Shuttles might... P

Steve, I use a flat square piece of foam and wrap several 2 or 3 dropper rigs around it... P

BINGO!

If you happen to see the Lotto 649 "Fly Fishing" commercial, what do you notice (other then they guys fishing in such close quarters)?! Do you think they could have used actors that actually know how to fly fish?! P

Yeah I guess 4 is better then three!! If someone doesn't mind though, they are a pretty good deal!! P

Sorry, I meant "TXL" not ZXL P

I've noticed there are now 4 different Sage Txl rods for sale up on the trading post... So is there anything wrong with this particular model or what?! P

Thank you Murray!! Lots of Christmas cheer coming your way!! P

Gang, I need a favor from someone driving from Sherwood Park to Calgary in the next little while (hasn't worked out with any of my Edmonton connections). A buddy has a double rod tube for me and I was wondering if there is someone that can bring it down from Sherwood Park? Let me know. Thanks, Peter

Don't feel bad... That's how Don Anderson still catches all of his (probably in the same potholes, as well!)! LoL P

Steve... Quit sucking up to the new guy!! BC, Welcome aboard! P

Another article (I think originally from last year): http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2008/11/18/f-snowtires.html

Got 2 a couple of years ago and went with Carrier units... The installer was reco'd by my cousin who was a plumber and is now retired. Installer (one man show) was a cranky old coot, but definitely knew his stuff. Even got $450 off/unit under a manufacture rebate (total cost was "around" $4500 per unit including install and metal work, etc. if i remember correctly). Went with mid efficiency units which is what was reco'd by the installer based on our specific needs, i.e., age of our house, sq. footage, the fact that we have a rental suite, etc. When the city inspector came around he did make a comment on the installer and mentioned that he was one of the good ones and had never had a problem with any of his installs! If there is anything else I can help you with as far as my exp., let me know but I'm sure there are guys on here that work in HVAC so they might be more knowledgeable with specifics... I personally wouldn't go with anything but a well known manufacture - Lennox (the most expensive), Carrier, York, etc. - but that is just MY opinion! Another thing is if there is a home show coming up in the near future... Most manufactures will have some form of representation so you can check things out under one roof... Peter

Carter, This is the one I invested in (Mustang). I primarily wear it in the winter when fishing off of ice shelves or during the summer fishing from a pontoon... Not necessarily "angling specific" but low profile ( I can wear it under a vest - when I wore a vest). It's expensive, but worth it in my opinion (I mean, how much is your life worth?!)... P P.S. Another benefit with this design is that you can get them in a variety of colors (including some neutral ones - mine is the black/grey. When inflated, however they are all bright yellow = highly visible). Also, be careful not to buy used or "on sale" (Craigslist, Kijiji, etc.) I noticed when I was 1st researching them, someone had a bunch of discontinued models for sale and when I googled that specific model, they had been recalled!!

Looks like some nice (fishable) water!! Too bad it's ruined by a bunch of jackasses!! LoL P
