Speaking of fish....anyone seen the video of the marlin stuck in the wellhead contraption? Very sad....I'm surprised PETA hasn't wormed their way into this on a large scale.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the trucks that you can rent with hitches on them (including rental car rentals) don't have a transmission cooler or trailer brakes to haul RV's......so be mindful of that too.

I've been in the same scenario - almost kicked some chick's ass because she was parked there, no tags, "just waiting for her husband to get his prescription". I told her "too ****ing bad...you better move or I'm calling the cops" and she peeled out and came within 2 feet of running over my 2 feet. As for the abusers - my mother comes to mind. She had a bad chronic back problem. She needed the tag because she had to use a walker/cane to get around. But then she had major surgery and 6 months later was a new person. They never took her tag back and she still uses it (FYI....I haven't talked to her in 14 years or I'd report her). I see lots of abuse like that, but this isn't the point. I agree with larger fines but unfortunately this is just another one of those things that falls under "cash cow" and likely won't prevent anyone from doing what they've done before.

OMG...I can't believe guys believe that those pills work.....hahahahahhaa The only penis enlarger I know about is about a dozen beers....works for both male and females. Perception is reality, after all. Hilarious!

Hey Tony, When you're ready to give up your car, the heat in your house and the meals on your table, let the oil industry know and they'll quit drilling and ergo stop having these unfortunate accidents. Let's see who can come up with something unique and not repetitive to say to an old argument and future thread that is going to end in a closure by the mods....I got nothing right now

I never leave my fishing gear in my vehicle. In fact, I don't leave anything in there but a cheap pair of sunglasses and the odd water bottle and tennis balls for the dogs. I learned from parking at a C-Train parking lot, where other cars got broken into, what to leave and not to leave. You know those fancy garage door openers? Got one? Then don't leave your insurance or anything with your name or address in your vehicle. 2+2 = house broken into through the garage. And always remember, if you leave said garage opener device in your car, to flip the power switch to your garage at night or when you're away for an extended period of time. Sorry for the big of sideways threadjack there Rick....but I'd like to know how someone broke into your car with no damage....did they pick the lock? Sorry to hear about your radios being jacked...but glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been. That's the kind of lesson you don't want to have - an almost-lesson is good enough there hey?

Any place that sells raw dog food - BARF diet stuff. Here in the SE of Calgary I get mine at the Barking Lot or Pet Planet. They come in small, medium and large (knuckle) bones.

SERIOUSLY????? Any good baker knows you need ROASTED nuts - lightly. Goddddd

We used to use artificial turf from Home Depot...cost us $50 for the whole season...that bought us enough for the whole length of the trailer and the width of the awning....and it stayed down until end of season when we rolled it up and threw it out. For you...probably $30 or so for your trailer.

The way you told that story made the hair on my arms stand on end by the time I got to where you said what it was!!! Tell ya what...I'm heading out on Sunday....I'll catch him and take a picture for ya mkay? LOL

Any bone that is not raw - i.e. right from the animal and packaged or frozen is considered cooked or "processed"....but it is cooked in some manner. I do agree that raw bones can hurt your dogs too....your dog has to have the "constitution" to handle raw food. I have a lab that can't have anything but his kibble or he's puking and crapping for days. Literally - anything - even too many milk bones send him over the edge. But I've got a golden who has eaten raw chicken breasts, thighs, turkey necks, backs, buffalo bones, knuckles - and loves it and it agrees with him. So...ya...you gotta be careful. But no dog should ever get a cooked bone - I stand by that statement and so do the professionals who know about dogs.

I'm so archiving this thread. There are a lot of rocks in that river that I predict will make contact with my boat...and I have a feeling I may one day need this advice.....

Well Kyle...not a beer lover but I do love my wine. And Zyn also has an AMAZING selection of wine at great prices. I've met Kyle (Kyle...I'm the blonde that was looking for the Frog's Leap Cab that runs the wine meetup group) and I can tell you that these guys run an A-1 establishment - and I've been to every single one in Calgary to compare. It's worth a couple of hours of your time to explore if you haven't already. I think I might have to try some of them beers one day

A friend of mine got a couple of puppies and I positively CRINGED when I saw them chewing on a T-Bone from a BBQ'd steak they just cooked. I went out on a limb at the risk of offending her and told her the many reasons why those types of bones are bad for dogs and, thankfully, she was very thankful. I know we have had past posts on this and a couple of sick doggies, but I ran across this article this morning and I thought it serves as a good reminder. Our policy on dog bones as per our breeder and our vet is nothing but raw buffalo bones - if it's cooked it can kill. They give the chewing satisfaction without all the health risks of "cooked" bones. Spread the word dog lovers! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,591364,00.html

Sorry....no motorcycles allowed in the boat.

Well Well.....progress at last. We bought this little craft....used to someone, new to us....can't wait to throw it in the river.

$200 on #32. I'll get one of Clive's pics hanging on my wall yet

Didn't I see Clive somewhere in another thread as I was reading through late last night? He surely must have lost my email....haven't heard from him since 1985 Gonna fish the Bow with us this year Cowboy? Will this be the year? Got a funky new boat you'd look good parked in the back in

If'n you quit riding crotch rockets and learned what your priorities are, you wouldn't be in this predicament.

That'd be the one I thought it was....didn't you find that guy in a Beaver Pond though Dean? Brian - I have what you're looking for on my downstairs computer somewhere....I'll try and find it and post it....been a few years. Great memories guys!

I heard it was taken from a Beaver pond, no? I remember Brian's bull trout...the first time I saw that pic the words Holy **** just kept coming out of my mouth over and over. It remains the most impressive memory I have of a Bow River fish yet. We don't even bother with pictures of fish unless they're taped over 23 inches. That's where our biggest sit right now. But the new fish kharma of our new boat is gonna change that this year - and I'll have my camera ready for this same thread at the end of the season. See ya then.

Not having much luck finding someone off kijiji yet that is giving me the confidence that he will build what I want, so am looking for recommendations for man/company who does good work in terms of deck building. Need a front porch rebuilt - no railings, just the wood base and stairs. I know what I want, just need someone who knows and has proven that he knows what he's doing. And won't charge me a gazillion dollars to do it. Thanks!

Big guy....you know the Honda generator we had when we had our trailer and I'd do it all over again. IMHO, that's what you want to do. Whisper quiet and can charge your batteries or just run your electrical. The generator will probably outlast your trailer - and you can take it with you wherever you go. It's worth the $1,300 new or I'll bet you can find a good used one.

ahhhhh....that's what I was thinking about. Thanks!

So Louise isn't starting shuttling until after Easter. Anyone of the other shuttles working yet? With record-breaking temps next week there's some certainty we'll be needing one before April 7th. With regards to Policeman's Flats - do you need a key or special privileges to launch from there or to take out? I heard at one time you did need a key or something. We haven't used that launch in over 7 years but since 22x is not open, it looks like it's Glenmore to Police for a float until everything opens up.
