  1. I recently obtained a rolltop desk for my fly tying. I use a Danvise with a C clamp. Does anyone know of a fly shop in Calgary that might carry the base / pedestal for this vise? I want to get away from the C-clamp to avoid damaging the desk. Perhaps there is out there a base for another brand of vise that might work.
  2. Janice, the office secretary goes in the lunchroom to get herself a cup of coffee. As she is pouring it, Joe a co-worker says: "Janice, your hair smells wonderful", fuming, Janice marches into the Boss's office to report what just occurred, insisting she feels she has been sexually harrased. The boss listens to her story and calmly explains he is very familiar with the company's sexual harrassment policy and he feels Joe the co-worker, was simply paying her a compliment adding that she is overreacting and overly sensitive. Janice replies: "I am not being overly sensitive and I am certainly not overreacting, I fully understand when someone is paying me a compliment, but this is a completely different case as Joe is a midget"
  3. The wife and I move into our brand spanking new house next week. We had the fireplace roughed in (natural gas) and we hope to get it going within not too long. What should I be looking for? any particular brand I should go with? what's the difference between them, are some models more efficient and expensive for being so? what about prices of these things, how much should I expect to pay for a good unit? is there deals to be had out there?
  4. I tried ordering something from them about a year ago and at that time they did not ship to Canada. They change the stuff for sale every one or two days, and the sizes they have are very limited. If the stuff they advertise id your size great, now if they now ship to Canada that would be great.
  5. We are building a house, with posession date being sometime this winter, as a result I will be doing some yard work next spring. I have never seeded a yard, went the easy way in the past with sod and it was alright, substantially more expensive than seeding, but then again I had the instant lawn. What are your thoughts on seeding? is it worth the savings? how about soil preparation, what is required other than levelling it?
  6. got my answer, they cannot get them
  7. I have a few gift cards for Bass Pro and there is one item I am after which I know they do not stock, they do however carry some products from this brand (Simms). Does anyone know if they will special order something for you? I am looking for the Simms Flats Boots, they do not carry them, but they do carry some other Simms products. The gift cards should amount to close to the price of these boots and while I know I can get the boots at a fly shop in Calgary, I would rather use up the gift cards and get rid of them at once. I tried looking for an e-mail address for them and did not find one.
  8. any idea of how much this toy would cost?
  9. Fegus, I will also be looking for a battery for my electric motor and I am interested in what you said about the wheelchair battery. How do they compare in price with a deep cycle battery, also are these readily available or do they come from a specialty shop? what about the charger? will a regular battery charger work on these?
  10. I know the feeling, Phil is proven almost impossible to get a hook on. I have seen people cast to him for hours and have yet ot see him caught. J - LO is just impossible to catch, she rises in the same spot night after night, one of these days I'll get to the other bank and I should get a shot at her. BTW, Phil was named that after watching a fishing buddy cast to him for over 1 1/2 hours one day and then another hour the next, I told my buddy, another 5 mins of that and we'd have to take you to Dr. Phil for some counselling. J - LO is got her name due to where she rises and how hard it is to get to her, I figure I have as much of a chance of getting my hands on J - LO as I do of getting my hands on that fish, thus her name.
  11. So the world cup is about to begin, and as a true fan of the game I intend to watch every single game of the entire tournament. Of course due to work and other reasons, I will not be able to watch the games live. I have a DVD player / recorder with a hard drive (enough to record many games) I just realized however, that for whatever reason CBC does not come up on the list of stations I can record (it is the ONLY station that is not listed). Would anyone here know why this is? as it stands right now, my only option is to record the games in french, the french station will be carrying the entire worldcup as well. Thanks for any input
  12. I have a belly boat, two pontoon boats (both of them purchased used) and a dinghy type boat for 3 people. Don't get the wrong message here, financially I am far from being well off (live in a townhouse with no garage) my go to pontoon stays inflated in a garden shed in the 20 x 15 ft backyard I have, and yes I do have a truck to haul it around with. My suggestion is to wait for the right (used) boat at the right price. I have always thought that going cheap in the long run will end up costing more. A top end pontoon will last forever (1 of mine is 20 plus years old and still going strong). Yes they are pricey, but buying a "disposable" boat might be something you might regret as they are not as sturdy and safety is a must. Cheap boats are cheaply made, with cheap materials, cheap labor etc. The last thing you want is to hear is a weld cracking while in the middle of a lake or floating a river. I have no regrets with my purchases, they were not cheap, but I know I bought what felt was the right thing for me, as I feel safe with any of my boats If you must have a pontoon for a trip, rent or borrow until you find something you can afford that will suit your needs. Belly boats do have their place, for myself however I have not used mine in over 6 years, if I ever need one, it is sitting there waiting for its time to shine. Oh yeah, I am contemplating buying another boat, one with a standing platform, but we'll have to see how that goes.
