Hey everyone, I find myself with a week off in between jobs and was wanting to get out and do some Grouse hunting around Calgary (prob up the FTR somewhere) . Anyone interested in a day trip on Weds, Thurs or Fri? PM me, Rufus28

Take a look at the H2Oil documentry....real eye opener

I also use it for some other forums I am a member of, it is a great app and well worth the $3

I can assure you that those clouds were insects. It was really cool to watch the clouds ebb and flow. Before we had arrived where the bugs were congregating I said to Dmac that it looks like someone is camping on the shore and must a lit a fire, this was probably 1/2 mile up river. We stopped quite a few times to watch the slow water and eddys and there were no snouts, sucked as I was ready with my 4 wt to get in on all of this dry action I keep reading about...

Went for a float with my buddy dmac on Saturday. On the water for 6AM tried Nymphing for about an hour or so and nothing happening. Switch over to streamers and second or third cast something just smashs the streamer and runs upstream. Dmac is driving and is working at getting the boat out of the current. Fish starts running at the boat and I am stripping line like there is no tommorow he sees the boat and takes off downstream. Then he decides to tease us with a glimpse of his belly, pops up and rolls over and all we see is gold and white and proceeds to take off back upstream. Dmac gets the boat parked and jumps out with the net, and I am able to get the fishes head up long enough for Dmac to net him..... Biggest and prettiest Brown I have ever caught. Not taped but at least 22-24" Further downstream we run into a massive Trico? hatch looked like streams of smoke coming off the shore. Nothing rising to it.... Uploaded with ImageShack.us Streamers were the ticket for the day with a couple more bows landed and even more LDR'ed. All in all it was a great day and it was nice to be out early and by the looks of the parking lot at Carseland we had quite the floatila coming down behind us.

It was directed at the original poster....Sorry for the confusion. I do not have my license yet as my shoulder is screwed up requiring surgery and I do not feel safe to fly with the condition it is in. (Being Non intentional Hijack).....The SPOT is a great tool and there is a huge debate (read anti government) in the aviation community right now regarding ELT's (Emergency Location Transmitters) and Transport Canada. The long and the short of it is Owner's and Pilot's feel the ELT system and the new 406 ELT's are not better (in some cases worse) that the old 121 system. I carried mine specially or my Solo Cross Country Flights and so the wife could check in on me via Google Maps. (End Hijack) I also took it last year on a trip up to fox creek last fall. No cell coverage so it allowed me to send an "I'm OK" message to the wife everyday. Brad

I have a SPOT unit that I do not need anymore...I was using it when I was doing my pilots license. PM me if you are interested...

Looks like the NHL says no... http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=328025 Bypasses the Salary Cap

We didn't get a permit and have a very large deck. We are also sellingt he house and got the Real Property Report done. We had to go to the city to get a stamp for our non-perminent shed which was in the easment for the swale. They didn't say a thing about the deck and we got the stamp in 5 mins.

Good luck to everyone fortunate enough not to be stuck in an office.....

YAY post 100 ^

With you there... I have had seasons ticket for the Roughnecks for the last 4-5 years. I absolutely love the game, it is fast, lots of action, great atmosphere and exciting for the fans. I think it is more exciting to watch than hockey....LIVE TV is another story, Lacrosse is just not a TV sport. You lose too much watching it on TV, I think soccer is probably very similar. I have never been to a true world class match but I am sure the atmosphere of 100 000 people roaring, chanting and carrying on would make up for lull's in the action on the pitch. JMHO

Scary..... I stopped using the Mach31 or whatevert they are now, switched to a Safety Razor. Not as close of a shave but no more irritation from 17 blades going over my face at the same time and blades are $5.00 for 10....

I am by no means a huge fan. I will prob watch a bit of it, I like the Rogers on demand site, you can skip forward to the action (goals, chances, yellow/red cards etc.). Free for all Rogers customers. One fo the funniest things I have seen in a while: http://www.theonion.com/video/soccer-offic...is-gay%2C17603/

Lynn, I have artifical turf in my entire yard front and back. I have two dogs and it is great. They can't kill it and it is easy to clean up. You price of $12/sq foot seems pretty high. I paid between $7-8 sq/foot installed. I know the company I used will also just sell you the turf so you can install it your self. I think it runs around $4-5 a square. PM me and I can give you their details.
