Cool, I had t heard of this until now. Apparently the land around the Great Lakes only rises a few inches every 100 years so the water level fluctuation we can actually notice in our lifetime can be attributed to evaporation/precipitation.

Any details on your diesel unit? Does it require a 12 volt battery to operate?

Mortally wounded deer sometimes leave little blood, but a mortally wounded deer will leave much different tracks/patterns than healthy ones. One of the reasons I prefer night tracking. The best advice I was taught for hunting was don???t look for the animals and tracks you want to see, look...

No offense to anyone, but I???ve never understood the whole idea of only hunting mornings or avoiding shots late in the day to avoid night tracking. The process of tracking is the exact same regardless of daylight in that you???re going slow and methodical either way. I actually prefer night...

Unfortunate that the adults in the vicinity ignored the behaviour, whether it was the dog or the kid, that lead to this bite. Either the kid was annoying the dog, or the dog shouldn???t be around kids in the first place. You???re right that someone missed something. Good thing it wasn???t...

Project Scope Road rehabilitation will occur on Norfolk County Highway 59 and includes Cold Recycling (CIPR/CIREAM) at a depth of 100mm, cold planing/milling, 50mm HL-3 overlay, tack coat, shouldering, line painting, and mailbox adjustments from Front Road to Hastings Drive. They???re going...

We went to Bronte last weekend with the kids to spend a half day walking the creek and hanging out at the mouth/marina/park. I had no idea they closed pier fishing there until Oct 15. Obviously due to the migrating salmon BS. When did this happen? We saw 1 live salmon and 1 dead. Practically...

Just a friendly FYI???. Instead of using spray foam you can use a pool noodle. Just take the rubber end/handle off the net and push/rotate the hollow metal handle of the net into the end of a pool noodle. The thin end of most nets easily cuts an exact fit piece of pool noodle that fits snug...

Stainless doesn???t flex like aluminum so you get a much better hole shot. My boat came with stainless and the original aluminum so I switched to the aluminum for one outing and that was it. Same size, pitch etc but the stainless is so much better. Huge downside to stainless is the hardness...

Launched the boat at 6:00 with two of my boys and started start south in 59 fow. Nothing going on a variety (spoons, cranks, harnesses) for 30 mins which got me worried. Switched to watermelon and purple perch spoons. Fire! Riggers, dipseys and 7 color were all on fire at 2.5 mph as long as we...

Those crying about the lack of sales simply do not understand the true costs and time to setup at shows. The Sportsman show minimum size booths are $1500-$1900 with the large spaces costing $8000-$11000 and more. Add in fuel costs, transportation of goods, your time along with wages and it???s...

You need to shop around if you???re a longstanding customer and got a 25% increase in one go, especially with a clean driving record and no property claims. Our property, vehicles and toys went up a combined 3% more than last year. Renewals came in last week.

Employees wanting (demanding?) higher wages. Sub contractors facing higher costs and wages. High fuel costs. Material costs have skyrocketed. Insurance and lawsuits are getting out of hand for many municipalities with silly lawsuits. There???s quite a few valid ???excuses??? that...

Yeah the standard 1lb ???non refillable??? tanks. I really don???t care about the legality as common sense prevails. When done properly there are zero issues. The odd one that does leak (everyone leak tests after refilling I hope) just gets put onto something and used up before the tank is...

I???ve been refilling 1lb tanks myself for about 15 years now without a single issue. It makes these heaters the cheapest possible way to provide heat, besides using free firewood.
