  1. I'm trying bud.....even have a rock solid quit date picked out now.
  2. Dammit....I'm genuinely dissapointed that this is merely satirical spoof news....I want one of those buttons!!I love my Timmies and my guns and my blue blooded redneck MP/PM!!
  3. Haha Pete,better yet......maybe it's time more CDNS adopt an American gun attitude. Amend the Charter with a RIGHT to bear arms,and have the media stop playing to irrational fears and promoting the lefty liberal anti-gun agenda. Drunk driving kills and injures more CDNS every week then firearms do in a year.....let's ban cars! Hell,let's ban booze while were at it. Obesity and heart disease kills more CDNS EVERY DAY then firearms kill in 10 YEARS....let's ban forks and hamburgers,fries n gravy!!!
  4. Yes Don,they're all crooks....but the Cons are the ONLY party not vowing to take my guns away. I'm not a single issue voter,but that's an important one to me,especially so in these uncertain times when we may find ourselves in a SHTF scenario. I don't trust any government that doesn't trust it's citizens with firearms. .....and if Firearms legislation was a non-issue,I'd still vote blue.
  5. Really Don? Do you honestly expect me to read 66 pages of union propoganda,prepared by the very NDP friendly CAWU and walk away with an unbiased perspective?? ......did I mention I love my guns? BTW....Registration is the first step towards Confiscation.
  6. Well Clive,as posted previously,as a blue bleeding Conservative,I'm not at all impressed with the party's environmental record,and the Omnibus Bill did in fact gut and take the teeth out of the Fisheries Act,most notably,protection of habitat legislation,essentially paving the way for pipelines and resource extraction industries to operate under far less scrutiny and with far less regard for any aquatic habitats in question. A necessary evil to get Alberta oil flowing to 3 coasts perhaps....and while I'm not anti-pipeline per se......doesn't mean I agree with these blatantly obvious moves to appease big oil. I'm still a supporter of Conservative ideologies and all.....but they did set back freshwater habitat protection in Canada by 50 years at least,much to the disgust of many anglers,outdoors people,and environmentalists.I know of many salmon conservation activists back east that will not vote blue this time around based on that issue alone. Myself...well.....I like fish....but I love guns,lol.I also very much enjoy being gainfully employed with expendable income in my pocket within a strong Albertan economy,which is not on any priority list of the Libtards nor Dipshits.
  7. Worst PM according to who Don? Oh let me guess,the Libtard/commie/hippy attack ad coalition,lol. I've got to admit,I'm very dissapointed with the Cons environmental record,but the others will bankrupt the country,they're anti-oil,anti-Alberta,and just plain bad for bizness.Imho,Canada has prospered under this govt for the most part,including getting us thru the last recession in good shape.Its no fault of Harper's that the WORLD oil price has tanked.....and on national security/anti-terror measures and dealing with threats.....no brainer,Stevo is the only one with balls enuf to use the M word and call it like it is.......not to mention the Cons are the ONLY party not vowing to take my guns away.
  8. I've fished Atlantics below falls and rapids on several occasions.In fact,in NB at least,there's many named pools,private and leased pools,and crown reserve stretches well known for their falls and rapids,not a problem that I've ever heard of?Mind you,snagging and poaching can be an issue on some of them,but as long as your fishing legal,no worries...giver.
  9. "Officially" it opens @8am..... PM sent
  10. Got mine at FishTales when I moved to CGY 4yrs ago,they probly have it? It's not the spot burning tell-all that some critics would have others believe,but it's a really good overview for a newcomer to AB for sure.Ive barely scratched the surface still,it would require a few summers at least of hardcore,full time fishing to fish the whole book me thinks?
  11. Glad to hear that he's able to come home,obviously a good sign.As parents,it's always worrisome and a feeling of helplessness when our kids endure even the most common of childhood maladies like flu,chicken pox or whatever,and I can only imagine how terrifying it must be with such a serious condition as a brain injury.Best thoughts and wishes for a speedy and full recovery. As an aside ,my thoughts were with your lil fella yesterday while fishing a southern stream. My fishn partners and I were having a pretty good day on the water since 8am,but the action had slowed considerably by late afternoon. We met a guy coming downstream on his way out that offered a solid tip..."try a Big Foamy"..haha...he had been hammering trout all afternoon on same. Sooooo.....one of my partners swapped out his caddis for a BF,and first cast...WHAM!! Beauty 14" bow! I was a lil slower to heed the advice,jumped ahead to the next nice run,and worked it over with the EHC that had produced well earlier on in the day.....nada sniff. WTF....I tied on a BF,and in that very same run rose 3 fish,and stung a beauty of a 16-18"(?) bow that came unpinned almost immediately which would have been my best fish of the day if landed....but still... Big Foamys were the ticket.Lotsa hoppers clickn and chirpn on the windy,grassy banks,I'd say the fish must be keying in on the big juicy meals now. Anyhow....i thought of you,and I doubt I'll ever be able to fish a big foamy again without thinking of a little boy that I've never met.Very nice to hear that his condition has improved.
  12. Sorry to hear that Foamy.Best wishes to your lil' guy and family.
  13. Everglades??
  14. WOW!! Speechless......
  15. Obviously he is NDP fun police.....if he were a Libtard he'd want to ban guns.
  16. Hmmmm...speaking of "fitting in" to CDN society....??I guess that only applies to immigrants?
  17. Assuming that means there was minimal damage to hull,or limped downstream with duct tape bandaid??Good stuff,congrats.
  18. 22x launch Friday eve,broken glass count is up to 6 now,4 of those in the truck/ trailer stalls.
  19. Nice vid,well done!
  20. Those yellow boots are probably the best bet for security? My sister's husband had their sleds on a trailer in the driveway,with a chain around the axle running under garage door,and chained to his motocross inside. 3am they were shook outta bed by what sounded like a car crashing into their house.....you guessed it,it was his bike being ripped thru the garage door and drug down the street,sparks flying.BnL jumped in his truck and gave chase in his underwear,and they must've had bolt cutters,as he found his mangled bike only a few blocks away.********* got away with the sleds,although one was recovered by cops a year or so later?
  21. Distance chart at 22X launch. I find the float times posted here to be a bit optimistic....maybe with higher water,and not stopping to fish or eat along the way? ie;in last cpl weeks,I've done Glenmore-22x on pontoon,6hrs with a cpl brief stops. Glenmore-22x on guided drift...11hrs with several stops and lunch. Police-Mac....11hrs with fishn stops and 1hr rain delay. Soooooo ...to answer hour Q,I've yet to float Mac-Carseland,but according to chart,it's 8-10hrs(?)......so probly take me 18-24hrs minimum,lol.....I like to stop ALOT!
  22. At 22X/Sikome boat launch parking 3 days ago,noticed broken window glass in truck/trailer parking stalls....I thot...."shitty...somebody's truck got broken into?" At 22x launch tonite,not 1,not 2,but 3 piles of shattered window glass in parking lot!!! So at least 2 fresh new break-ins in 3 days? DO NOT leave valuables in your vehicle in FCP!! F'n pathetic!!
  23. That would be ideal.
  24. Raising fish as opposed toooooo....rehabilitating naturally sustainable populations?? ....THAT would make too much sense...
