Did I miss the vote?

I work in the HVAC industry. The cost to have a furnace replaced through almost any company nowadays is ridiculous. I just had a conversation with a wholesaler of ours that supplies furnaces to installers. He said the rates being charged by installers for a standard furnace install in an 1100 sq ft home are anywhere from $4-9000, without A/C!!. Utility providers that offer furnace replacement plans are usually just playing the middle man. Their payment plans are usually through finance companies that put the customers on very long repayment plans that make it look as though you are getting something cheap due to a low monthly bill when in reality you end up paying double the going rate. Their installs are done by the same guys that you would contact through the phone book to do an install. They also try to up sell with service plans that a guy with a little mechanical aptitude could easily perform him/herself. Do not pay for 12 months is another gimmick. It all adds up to a very thin wallet in the long run. By the way I do furnace installs. The starting rate is $12000.00. This includes no interest for 30 days, free filter every 10 years, 20 year checkup if I'm still alive then, and an all expense paid float trip down the Bow. You have to buy lunch and drinks though.

I would be very careful with any monthly payments through the utility providers. There has been some horror stories surrounding these schemes.

I think you should have them bronzed, mounted on a nice base, then placed next to the Bow River in one of the cities nicer parks in order to signify the importance of fly fishing to many Calgarians. You can then bill the City a half a million dollars for your work.

Iran sounds like it would meet most of your requirements.

Is this TV in the bedroom perhaps?

Ya you're right, he's had enough time to come up with excuses. By now I'm sure it would all be just lies. (Tongue-in-cheek - again......)

No, not a good idea. He needs to explain his side of the story first. We all know he's keeping tabs on this thread.

Ya I meant to apologize for my rather lengthy launch that day. Next time I'll bring my smaller craft: http://www.wimp.com/boatramp/

or TMZ

I've made my popcorn so where's the video?

When's the garage sale???

You would think when they build and manage a dam the reservoir would not be required to be kept at a full level going into the winter months. They seem to like to ride the full line on the Red Deer. Probably makes for the best jet boating conditions. http://www.environment.alberta.ca/apps/basins/DisplayData.aspx?Type=Figure&BasinID=7&DataType=3&StationID=RDICRES

I still think the most appropriate response to this whole experience would be this. Anyone up for a leisurely paddle?

Good choice. People have to remember that a lot of guides work freelance and are not necessarily permanently employed by fly shops. (Although if they are contracted out by a fly shop they should not be acting in any manner that may harm the reputation of the company.)

I tried but couldn't find it.

Would you happen to know the contact name from Parks that looked into this? Maybe they would be interested in the emails I have that could shed a lot of light on their investigation.

Here's a perfect example of privatization gone awry. http://parklandinstitute.ca/research/summary/delivery_matters3/

I would prefer not to have my Tax Payer Funded Provincial Park space being rented out by private individuals, whether they work at or manage the sites or not.

or mortician............ just sayin

I have since been told it is the camp host that is trying to rent out the trailer. Needless to say I am going to be putting the heat to maximum, whether this is legal or not. I'm tired of our Provincial Government giving away our resources and assets to those who feel they can do whatever they want with them. Privatization in this Province is costing the taxpayers a hell of a lot more than anyone ever expected.

Maybe someone could find out if this guy has his unit parked at Dutch Creek and is renting it on my tax payers dime. I already called him. He says he doesn't have it parked there although his ad states he does. I told him why I was calling, to inquire about what he was doing...
