How you making out Dave? I was on Zyban this summer. I went from a pack a day to 1 1/2 packs a day. The first time I tried Zyban in 1998 I quit for 3 months. Maybe the second time around it doesn't have the same effect. I'm chewing the gum this time around. Tasty stuff. Nearly spewed when I chewed the first one.

This marks for me 24 hrs - 14 minutes - WITHOUT A SMOKE!! Nobody piss me off today. J/K I have always found the first 30 days to be quite easy to quit, it's after that that drives me nuts. I know it doesn't make any sense.

You must be old!

Looks yummy! No doubt it will do the job, cool tie.

And now for the pics we didn't see!

I would take it apart first and see if it isn't just a loose ribbon cable. I have been using Toshiba LT's for many years and have never had a physical problem with a Satellite that needed parts. At work we have these LT's bouncing around vehicles and left outside at -30 to +30, seldom an issue. The Tecra's are a different story though. Bigger bucks, supposedly more robust, but nothing but problems.

$60 for $25 ?? That's a difference of $35. I tell you what. Send me a cheque for 20 bucks every month and I won't phone the cable company in Slave lake.

Now get the screwdriver out. You can do it.

Clive I just had the keyboard done on my Tecra (Toshitba). It's a 10 minute job (by a tech) and I can't imagine the keyboard costing much more than a $75-100. I would look into it if it's still a good machine. edit - $25 http://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Toshiba-Sat...a/dp/B000KJW5QI

See, just goes to show how well I listen to fisherman. Let's make it a day when everyone isn't running on 3 hours sleep. Licenses must all be purchased in advance!! Maybe someone could give me a hint on where the fish are too?

I'll have to watch it again but I don't think the guys verified they caught any of the fish on the hopper patterns.

Are these lakes built for storm runoff purposes? If so, I'm surprised they support fish.

Yes Harry that's the one.

I just took a look at McKenzie lake on Google maps. What are all the little structures scattered around the lake shore? Docks, casting platforms?? http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=50.9121,-11...02,0.02&t=k

Great year for me, finally got down south to fish some waters in the Crow area. The fire ban was on though so most of the waters I wanted to fish were not accessible. Fishing around Edmonton wasn't as good as last year for quantity although the size of the fish was up. Met some good people this year that I look forward to fishing with next year.

It was on the Canadian Learning Channel, 103 in Edmonton. Didn't catch the time. I record them on my computer and once it's finished recording the time doesn't show up anymore. If you can accept a 1.5 Gb email I'll send it to you, I doubt it though. Nice to see you back around this joint ADC. How was your season?

Hey Lonefisher maybe we can have a quit smoking competition. I'm a pack a day guy. I don't even like smoking anymore, I only smoke because of the addiction. Did the Zyban thing (again) this summer, the stuff is crap. Acupuncture, hypnotherapy or laser are methods I've never tried, might be worth it. The father of a buddy of mine quit after smoking for 40 yrs+ with hypnotherapy. He said it was like he had never smoked. He sucked back 4 packs a day.

And then you always have this to look forward to.

"The New Fly Fisher" TV show has an episode today called "Hoppers on the Bow". I recall a rather heated thread on the subject some time ago. Should be interesting to see what they have to say.

I guess breakfast is out of the question this morning. Loved the guy in the haz mat suit, now there's a guy stepping up to the plate.

Then he would have to see a psychiatrist for the phantom pain.

Funny you should ask. Don't know what the pattern would be called, had a thread on it. It sure was successful at Dolberg in the fall. http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...ic=1547&hl=

I'm a crappy tier and don't have a problem catching fish on my ties. The largest fish I caught this year was on this:
