Uh oh...  this doesn't sound great...  feel free to PM if you need/want..

Told them I was in a rush to take dog food to Rubert and all my fish comes from Nofrills.Yes I will. Tonight--not here.

MTO.MNRF-OPP closed down hwy 69 today.I had a question for Sean but I am so traumatized from the interrogation that i forgot what to ask him. I think it was about old trailer plates that might not be in the system anymore.

That sucks about Moose Lake. Stopped in there a few times. For the most part the prices were reasonable and they did have some quality items. I bought a real decent leather hat there that is my go-to lid for bush work. 

They where our closest neighbors ,good people sad to see them go.,

Hey GT do you know where the new 400hwy is going to by-pass the Baril? It won't be long before they are in your area 

Just east,The interchange will be where the old Larrys Tavern usetobe.The old hwy will be used for a service rd. So you well have to pull off the hwy to go to the Store.  Did you know that Moose Lake Trading post is no longer. Windfarm people bought it as they needed the land for a transmission corridor.

No precip in Pt au Baril,just very windy.

I was thinking of having King Crab Legs and a Filet.  But after spending $1100 today fixing a tiny hydraulic leak on the motorhome I will have to skip the filet and just have the crab legs............   

 

Hose/fitting and labour. $1100 WTF.

Unless he lied.

You didn't lie if they didn't ask. " I know nothing"  cue video of Hogans Heros "His renewal will come in different if they run it through the system.Tommy is probably a good driver but the system is based on the fact he is young and has a record.I was the same way at is age. Not much that you can do about it except be patient He lives in a  low tolerance area so do I.Our LCBO store manager lives in Parry Sound,he has got 3 speeding tickets  in a year. I didn't think the Ford piece of shit Focus RS could do that without blowing a head gasket. LOl

Don't question it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We where all there at some point!!! Ticket free since Nov/88.Waiting for my seniors discount.

I live on Hwy 69/saw 6 odots between here and sudsbury yesterday. Cruise control is your best friend Between the fatalities and the over 50 stuff . I have learned to respect the HWY..Not so much the drivers and the trucks who have questionable log book hrs and skills from countries that don't have snow.

I think the Puzz had a contact for a guy that reprogrammed the standard gauge.Fuck if I'm giving them 170+tax when the display already shows it on start up.Haven't found his Kijji add.

Thanks

Just wondering how they work away from major cities.

There is web site that lets you check signal availability.I,m between Sudbury and Parry Sound.My signal availability is 0

Applies to enclosed trailers as well.  Commercial carriers have their own set of cargo secure rules. 

Thanks,just wondered why the double standard.Best one was the cows that got out after a crash.Closed the hwy for a day and we didn't find all the cows for 2 weeks.Guess they didn't have 4 pt restraints.

Interesting. One of my employees was pulled over last winter. Charged $490 for not having a 1 gallon gas can secured. When leaving the cop would not allow the use of a bungy cord to secure the can, had to be strap with weight tag. The cop did allow him to set it on the floor inside the cab with no securing strap.

Made no sense to me.

 

The police officer actually ask him to do something illegal .TSSA reg XXXX.says no fuel in interior of vehicles,that includes mini vans,SUVs. It is also illegal to fuel sleds in enclosed trailers.Those doors are for passing beer to your buddys riding in the back.

All cargo, regardless of what it is must be secured in order to prevent it's ejection in normal driving as well as a collision.  There ate some pretty specific specifications buried deep in the regulations..  but essentially if you have the following covered, you're good. 

-front and rear tied down/secured by quick clamps

-winch does NOT count as a tie down (ATVs)

-loose fuel containers secured in brackets or bungee cords. Fuel stored in approved containers.

-all loose items secured in container or some other way to prevent falling off trailer/out of truck bed.

-all tie downs, ropes, bungees etc  must be in good condition.  

To be clear does this  apply to enclosed trailers? I'm thinking of transport trucks,pallets are not typically tied down.Not that you want an ATV bouncing around in a clamshell.

Yeah...  Rupe is gonna miss when I'm allowed back to work!!!  Haven't looked at that site but will check it out.  It's easy to keep up while off work.  Two sites may be difficult when I return to duty again.  

AS for Ben...  meh..  deal with his type all the time.  I never take it personally and its kinda fun to watch him spin and spout the same rhetoric he does in every single post.  

OC is really Ontario focused,no bullshit. You might even get trail conditions before you go out. that's how good it is.Not one single post on Trump or your employer all snowmachineing stuff.If time is a concern I would give up on FS and make some new friends on OC.

I say away from CE part of the forum. Ben can get a little--well nee deep into a 30 of Coors--you know the answer.

Have you considered asking the Admins of ONTARIO CONDITIONS. COM for a thread similar to this one. No bashing,mostly good information.I personally would like to see you over there.

Say hi to Rubert,he must be your best bud with all the time you had off.

Thanks for the link. Interesting reading. Unfortunate for a lot of folks that have lived along the St. Lawrence River for the last 30 years without issues, and now it looks like it might become a normal annual occurance. 

Claim some restitution or move up hill?

The Ottawa River floods were a little weird.Who controls that system? There is no major control system or resistor to contain water so it has to go some where.What does Quebec send in to the river? I can imagine it's an Iraq Israel situation in reverse or California for that matter.   Interesting topic considering this is FS and usually spend my time elsewhere.

Thanks Ydawg.

Hmmmm maybe The big critics should address their concerns with the International Joint Commision and the International Lake Ontario -St. Lawerence River Board.

seems like maybe they understand and there is a bigger picture.

Thank god it only rains around where you are.  And never anywhere else   

What should we do open all the dams and flood everyone down Stream?

How much does 1” of rain raise the St. Lawrence?  I remember hearing something about a quarter inch of rain raising it 3”.   I could be wrong there but a small amount of rain raised it significantly.   And when you factor in all the other areas receiving huge rain falls and dumping water floods happen.  It can only flow out St. Lawrence so fast  

No one said water level control is perfect science and there are way more factors to be considered then just your precious boat house getting flooded or your basement flooded. 

How about fish spawning?

they need certain levels of water and current   

As for me living in Milton I think my house is pretty good.   My wife and I enjoy it.   I know Milton is not for everyone.

 

Many developments have been approved in areas that stuff should have never been built.I'm guess most urban planners and regulatory agents would have to google hurricane Hazel.

The Great Lakes have a unique water control problem.Dam in the Soo,Dam at Cornwall that's it other than  some smaller diversions.So you let all the water out of Lake Ontario what happens down stream? God forbid we would want  to flood Montreal. Water management is like the weather,mostly done on computer models and historical data.

The water levels on Georgian Bay  ( Huron- Michigan)are certainly on rise. Expect near record levels this summer. The poor people well have raise there boathouses and crip docks,so sad.

The good news for Ydawg is that they are building a new LCBO in Minden,well above the flood plain. Apparently it is bad for the local business when it is closed.
