Those are great shots Neil. The pelican one is very nice but I've always liked owls more. Murray

Rick, first off, glad you made it out the other side, it really could have been a horrible story otherwise. But boy, what a fishing story for your future Grand kids.

Thanks for the post Steve. Good info to have. I'm finding that the Clear Cure Goo is a bit tacky now with the batteries on my light getting weaker. Sunlight cures it to a hard Finnish though. A word of caution though. If you are using you UV resin outside on a sunny day, you might find that it starts to set up in the dispenser tube. Murray

They would be quite concerned if your tieing supplies included Polar Bear.

Jason, are you sure your son didn't catch that one? Just kidding , nice trout by the way.

I couldn't open your pictures but I had a similar thing happen to my Snowbee waders last year. It's frustrating that a $400.00 pair of chest waders are now hip waders. Anything above waist deep and the water just pours in. All I can say is never again!

Although I agree that the PC's did not deserve to be re elected, I am quite concerned about some of the promises Rachel Notely has made. I still think back to that time when Ed Stelmack suggested he was going to review and adjust the royalty rates the oil companies paid. There was an immediate move of jobs and companies away from Alberta and into Saskatchewan. It took a long time to catch up. My view also is that if she raises the minimum wages by 50%, corporations are not going to simply absorb these additional costs but will pass them on to the consumer. As was mentioned earlier, you cannot run at a deficit forever, it costs a lot of money to build roads, schools and hospitals and the income has to come from somewhere, maybe increased taxes. Now, having said all that, I accept that greater minds than mine are working on this but I too am concerned that Yoga instructor and musicians will come out ahead in arguments with high priced corporate lawyers. This is a situation we are committed to for the next four years so I only hope that Rachel and her merry band will not follow in the footsteps of the Ontario NDPers and put us so far into dept that we cannot dig ourselves out.

Pinocchio, Snow White and Superman are out for a stroll in town one day. As they walk, they come across a sign: "Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world." "I am entering," said Snow White. After half an hour she comes out and they ask her, "Well, how did you do?" " First Place ," said Snow White. They continue walking and they see a sign: "Contest for the strongest man in the world." "I'm entering," says Superman. After half an hour he returns and they ask him, "How did you make out?" " First Place ," answers Superman. "Did you ever doubt?" They continue walking when they see a sign: "Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?" Pinocchio says "this is mine." Half an hour later, he returns with tears in his eyes. "What happened?" they asked. "Who the hell is Mike Duffy?" asked Pinocchio.

Marijuana and Marriage: For those who haven't heard, Washington State recently passed two laws. They legalized gay marriage and Legalized marijuana. The fact that gay marriage and marijuana were legalized on the same day makes perfect Biblical sense. Leviticus 20:13 says: "If a man lies with another man they should be stoned" Apparently we just hadn't interpreted it correctly before!

Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam. The last question was, 'Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk. The question was worth 70 points or none at all. One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages. However, he wrote: 1) It is perfect formula for the child. 2) It provides immunity against several diseases. 3) It is always the right temperature. 4) It is inexpensive. 5) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa. 6) It is always available as needed. And then the student was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just before the bell rang indicating the end of the test, he wrote: 7) It comes in two attractive containers and it's high enough off the ground where the cat can't get it. He got an A.

Don, thanks for the heads up. I have 2 boats in the garage that I will check tonight.

I liked the video

I like that ratcheting pulley.

I have two pontoons hanging from the rafters right now. The method you describe will work very well for you. What I have done is simply pass a 1/2"" rope over the horizontal portion of the rafters and pull on the rope while lifting the pontoon with the other hand. I tie the rope off somewhere on the pontoon that is convenient. This allows me to keep the pontoons partially inflated over the winter. Just enough air to keep the shape. Murray

You do nice work Sir.

. And im sorry, who's CPs?? Country Pleasures in Willow Park Mall. Murray

Thanks for the wishes guys. Peter, I gave up on the beer thing a couple of decades ago so I didn't have a beer for you. I suspect you knew that by how thirsty you were on Monday evening. Went out for a nice supper instead.

Back in February, I was at the Calgary and there were several lodges from northern Saskatchewan with booths set up. I grabbed an info package from one of them called Thompson's Camps of Otter Lake. The pamphlet I grabbed has several different options with prices. If your interested, send me a PM and drop by the house. I live in Canyon Meadows so it's pretty close to you. Murray

Hey Brian, a little late in the day for it but, Happy Birthday. One of these April 6ths we should get together to wet a line. Murray

Thanks Guys, normallyi would have been fishing but I'm a fair weather guy. Spent time with my wife instead.

Well, so much for guessing. Very nice but expensive hobby.

I like it, my guess is it's a 1968 Chev with a 327 putting out about 400 HP. A nice truck.

If you get the opportunity, take him to the Bow Habitat Station in Calgary and let him feed the fish. I do that with the Grand Daughters and they get real excited. Oh, and welcome back to the forum.

Dewitt's pond west of Airdrie is stocked with trout. Not sure on the limits you are allowed to keep. Go north on the QE 2 to the Big Springs road. Turn west for about 8 or 10 KM. watch for the sign pointing to Dewitt's pond on the south. Like Conor says, Chain Lake but a boat would greatly help. Sibbald pond west of Calgary on Hwy 1. Glenmore resevoir right in town for pike. Any of the irrigation lakes for pike. Mitchell Lake, Strubel Lake, sylvan Lake, Pine Coulee. Kananaskis lakes( upper and lower, Lorette pond, Pick up a copy of the 2015 fishing regs and look at the ES 1 section for other ideas. When you do take the kids out, let us know how they made out.

I tried using them in the Downtown area for a rooftop job a few years back. Although they worked, the interference from pagers, taxi drivers, couriers etc. made it very difficult to have a conversation. Most of the FRS radios have numerous sub channels within each marked channel on the dial.example, channel 1A, 1B etc. theses are not really separate channels but rather a filter that screens out incoming traffic unless you are on the same channel (1A ,1B.) So having said all that, you will find that they work but you might be disapointed with the performance.
