Like said already. Weather experts can't tell me if its going to rain or not tommorow with any accuracy, yet they'll have me believe they can predict the earths climate in a few decades? If it gets warmer, I'll welcome the change. If it gets colder, well, I'm a Canuck, I'll tough it out, eh?

Thats the trick. Cooking oil needs to be heated. Or, you can do like my great granddad did in the thirties. Run a still, and turn your grain into alcohol for your gas burning vehicals...

I use twist ties on all the sliding pieces. Keeps the birds in and the cat out....

Funny bear spray story...When we were fighting fires in the mountians in BC, one of my army buddies came upon a griz. It was a realy windy day, and buddy over reacted. He yelled, pulled out the pepper spray, fired it off. Only it was into the wind, the bear was way to far away, and he was pointing the nozzel in the wrong direction. Result, my buddy rolling on the ground clutching at his face, and the bear curiously watching, wondering what in the heck that idiot was doing before lumbering off, while I was pointing and laughin...

We didn't have proms, but I remember my graduation party. My dad got me trashed on whiskey before the dinner. Shortly after supper I got into a fight with three guys in the bathroom...then ended up staying until breakfast, and getting a ride back (20 miles out of town) in some random parents van, still hammered...After one day rest it was on the bus to basic training....

I know spray works on black bears mostly. Then again, it doesn't always work on coked up psychopaths in the human world, so it may not work on a sick, hungry, or overly agressive bear in the wild. If I turn around and see an angry grizzly, and have enough time to draw one thing from my belt and fire, I'd rather have a nice hard hitting hand gun.

I've never understead the play dead...Bears eat dead carrion, and if you look dead enough they'll just stop mauling you and start eating you. I've whacked a little black-bear in the face with a log once though, and it was enough to send it running away. If it were a griz, or even a bigger more agressive black bear, I'd rather be shooting it in the face. Unfortunatly, where I come from, pistols are the devil, and I have to keep mine locked up at all times unless I'm at an approved firing range. Rifles/shotguns are usualy slung, and near impossible to get up and fire at a charging bear that suprises you, and is impossible to draw and shoot if a charging bear is on top of you...

I know a guy who knows a guy that can hook you guys up....Just don't tell the man, man...

If you plan on going any distance on a bike, I'd recomend a cruiser over a crotch rocket. Its just uncomfortable driving for an hour stretched out over a gastank. If I were to get a bike these days, due to the riduclous ammount of insurance, I'd look for something little like the Honda Rebel. Cheap on gas, cheap on insurance, cheap to buy (only around 5K brand new), and you don't have enough power to get yourself into real serious trouble. When I was 17, I had a crotch rocket. Being young, stupid, and invincible, I decided to open it up on the highway. I was going about 120mph when I hit some gravel, lost my traction, and laid it down and rode the gas-tank for a good 1/4 mile or more. I flipped it into the ditch and left it there, and decided I was luckey to be alive with only a couple nicks and scrapes...

When will it start? I wouldn't mind if Manitoba turned into a tropical paradise...Sorry California, you'll just have to move inland when the flooding starts. I'm going to run my car for no reason now and turn on a bunch of lights I don't need to help speed things along...;p

So, are you stopping over in Winnipeg? Maybe there'll be time to grab a coffee...

I drive however I feel like, whenever I feel like. I just cut out other expenses, like less/cheeper beer. No storebought meat. No mechanics unless I realy can't fix it myself...And sometimes I'll throw purple gas in my car while at the farm. Not like anyone pulls over a Cavalier and checks for dye...

Grease in a paper sack, if I'm luckey...Have to head out on exercise tonight.

I kind of figured Florida was well known during the whole Spanish main and Caribian pirate era.... But the fountian of youth thing sure explains why everyone over 60 seems to pick up and move there....

Four...And I generaly don't go on the internet at home...

Cigarettes...... I get withdrawls symptoms if I don't shoot for to long a period... I go insane if I'm out of a wild natural place for more then a week...

I prefer to buy my CD's from the small town book-store here. He charges the same as or less than Walmart, and whatever he don't have, he'll get within a week. And why should I buy them? Well, I got better things to do then spend an hour per song to download them all. Besides, when they make an album, you only hear a couple of the songs on the radio, but there is still 10 or so good songs you never would have known existed if you didn't buy the CD

Because, if your late for the appointment, they cancel you, but still charge a a bunch of fees, that you'll have to pay again next time you show up for your re-schedualed appointment....

I'm with Cinch on her point. I've often though of starting a Young White Man club, and creating a bunch of ruckus just like those other groups from the other races do. If it would accomplish nothing other then getting people to see how rediculous everyone else is being, it would be worth the effort. I would have finished collage if the government payed for me to go like the natives. I'd have my own business on the go now if they'd hand me free money like they do to the immagrants. Heck, I could even have a comfy government job if it wern't for the fact that over half of the advertised positions specificaly state "Preferance will be given to women and members of visibal minority groups"... Its long past time for all this equality and racisim stuff to be dropped, and just start treating everyone the same.

I don't know. Work horse or not, I prefer the feel of wood. Besides, with a little sanding and re-varnashing, you can fix up scuffs and make it look new again. Besides, the odd scuff and chip gives a gun more character in my opinion.

Well, I've been a heavy arrow advocate for a long time now. This winter, I picked up some carbon arrows, and new broadheads, and dropped a bunch of weight. I'll find out if I'm sticking with it after I shoot my spring bear. As for deer, you can pretty much kill a white-tail by throwing rocks at it, so I think people sometimes over-think thier setups. I've seen 40lbs kid bows with arrows that look like toys pass through on deer when shot into the right spots.

I got busted this year for not attaching my notched tag to my deer. Mostly a misunderstanding of the guide, as I was under the impression I didn't have to tie it on until I reached difinitive transport (my car, parked on the gravel road just off the trails), while the CO figured the truck I was using to pull it out of the deep woods was transport (which it wasn't, my brother just did me a quick favor on his way to an appointment). Now, if they made a news story about it, it would sound like I was trying to sneak out of the woods, so I could use my tag the next day. Without getting the whole story from me, it makes me sound like a poacher looking for extra deer, which was far from my intention. All I was doing was keeping the tag safe from getting torn off and lost while lifting and draging the deer around.

Well, I don't realy hate my synthetic stocked guns. They just don't feel the same as a good wooden stock. I wish more guns came off the shelf with wood as an option. Even my Baretta Stamped, replica of a Colt SAA, comes with a crappy feeling plastic hand grip...

They do all sorts of things. Any time they might risk thier car spotted, the look for same make/model/colour, boost the plates, and no worries being ID'd that way. Also, when they steal a car, often they'll take someone elses plates. Keeps the car from comming up stolen right away, as most people notice thier car missing within hours, but can go days or even weeks without noticing a mising plate.

I can't see myself getting one. Regular TV is just fine, and I've even got rid of cable. Got better things to do the worship the moving picture
