Well this letter doesn’t make me happy.
Looks like Bell is discontinuing its High Speed Satellite Internet offering. I have been a customer for two years and I love it. There’s no other high speed service available here other then higher cost satellite providers so I guess I am going to be left out in the dark as of June 30th, 2005.
Not happy. 🙁

Check it out.
I thought this was pretty neat!

Looks like pricing is starting at $27,700 US. That should put her around the $36,000 Canadian mark. The dealers were talking around $45,000 so this pricing seems to be a lot better then expected. No Canadian pricing has been officially announced yet (to my knowledge).
Honda Canada also has information online finally. Click here to see it.
The one item that really grabs my attention is the towing capacity. at 5000 pounds even with your gear (no doubt up to a certain limit) it’s a lot more truthful then most every towing spec out there. For example (this is totally off the top of my head) the Toyota Tacoma has a 5000 pound towing capacity. But if you have a 200 pound passenger, a 300 pound dirtbike and another 500 pounds of cargo then the towing capacity is down to 4000 pounds. Honda seems to have a better way of describing the true towing capacity. We’ll see if this is correct when some more detailed specs are released.
Hope you enjoy the link!

We just got in from cutting some holes in the ice. We found anywhere from 12-17 inches in all the holes we cut with the thickest ice being about halfway between burnt woods and the end of St. Alban’s looking in a straight line across. As we ventured out towards Roti Bay where the usual “trail” would be we found the least amount of ice at around 12 inches. Between Morrisville and Conne we found about the same as we found the last time we were out there 2 weeks ago – 12-14 inches.
Not a bad amount of ice. While we were cutting we saw two vehicles cross from Conne to St. Alban’s and a third came out and turned around and went back to shore. To get on the ice in Conne people are using the usual spot at the end of Burnt Woods and in St. Alban’s they are going up at Voyce Cove.

I got a phone call this morning from someone who drove their truck across to St. Alban’s. Crazy I say, but I will reserve that judgement until I get some more holes cut to see how thick the ice is. With 5-7 inches out there 2 weeks ago I can’t see a huge amount of ice being there right now.

This is just one step closer to pushing me to the edge!
I want this little toy so bad… but I need a new camera first. Arrrghhh!
I was just sent a link to this auction on eBay.
Deformed L shaped Froot Loop Mutant from Kellogs. Weird
Someone will probably buy it. 🙂
SnowBear called back. In less then 24 hours! Too bad I wasn’t home and got a message on my machine.
I called them back and then left them a message.
They called back within 15 minutes and took care of the situation. They are sending me a new winch and I get to use this noisy misbehaving unit until I gets the new one. Word of advice to SnowBear owners. If your Canadian Tire is anything like the one that I bought my plow at then you better get in touch with SnowBear directly. Their tech support seems to be second to none!
Now if only I could get my hands on the remote control unit for my plow!
