Yes, both the Quebec trail pass and the insurance refund cheque came on the same day at approximately the same 3 day stretch - Quebec by Canada Post. I think the OFSC has to look into updating or redesigning the purchase web page or contract it out to amazon.ca - I received no confirmation email, paid for tracking, did not receive a "your thing has shipped" email with a tracking number and was rather surprised to get a "we missed you" sticker from Purolator - anticipating a delivery from Canada Post as in past years. In my particular case, I am never at home when deliveries arrive so will always end up at a post office outlet to pick it up. Had someone not let the Purlator dellivery person into the building to stick the "sorry we missed you" sticker on my mailbox, I would still be wondering where it was. I did receive prompt attention from the OFSC permits email when double checking my permit and a suggestion to change my email address (yahoo) but everything else was getting to the email address. Also, could not find the "my page" on the OFSC permit buying site, so something obviously needs to be updated. Not the only one with these troubles apparently. I feel your pain. But for a lucky circumstance above, mine might have circled the drain for a while also.

Yep, just now. Purolator.

You are becoming a BRP dealer?

No problem in the Parry Sound area.....everyone is a contractor there!

This is a good point - over the past couple of weeks I have had to use the Quebec map so show the extent of trails and facilities to prospective sledders at my work. There are many out there who don't realize that the trail system is as large and comprehensive as it is - all they see in real life are the signs where the trail crosses roads. New marketing company needed.

Andre - same thing here - send an email to the 'trouble' email address and let them know this has happened. They will locate your purchase and send you the body of the email that you did not receive. I had a reply from them in less than 2 hours. My email did not arrive and was not in my spam folder. I did take the precaution of doing screen saves as I went through the purchase process for two machines though and was able to provide the purchase number and payment information. What I can't find is "My Page" ?? Logged back into the purchase area and not to be found. Supposed to give you updates on the progress of your passes. Last year, mine was well travelled - up to Owen Sound and then back to me finally - was happy about spending the $10 tracking fee so I knew where it was.

Dude - "not fixing your reports", " reporting both good things and stuff that needs fixing in your [upcoming] reports" - fixing a few things that need fixing in Ontario snowmobiling. And frankly hoping for some substance as opposed to the usual crappage we have seen from those who are paid to do reports.

Agree with your overall message IQ, but share MM's trepidation due to self-entitlement and a compacted population in the Muskoka area.

For PC users such as myself, this forum has been up and down occasionally due to some EX145 error.....most probably access the site on their phones so may be unaware of any problems. However, any such interruption I report it to Domino here and access is usually cleared up in a matter of minutes or hours. It is upon such occasions that I think how damn lucky we are to have this forum and how much work goes into maintaining it. Personally, I would probably not be participating in snowmobiling except for this forum. The efforts of those who generously spent time detailing their trips, giving advice on mechanical aspects, places to stay and distances, plus tips and tricks has been an inspiration. OC.com has a life of its own on the internet - births, lives lived, deaths and -sadly - marriage proposals among other things. So thanks to those in the past who got the forum up and running and to those - Marty - who are keeping it up and running at present. It feels as if a part of your day is missing if you don't get on here to find out whats happening in this community of ours.

The accolades keep piling up for Nunz. I certainly hope that this job includes reporting both good things and stuff that needs fixing in your reports. There have been occasions in the past when clubs needed a minimum of 50 passes to stay viable and the public relations branch of the OFSC had nothing to say about it. Other clubs such as that in Eganville needed more volunteers to keep functioning, but nothing from the OFSC about that. I could go on....boosterism works to a certain point, but it is essential that all permit buyers are aware of the total mix of snowmobiling in the province - essential if riders are to acquire some sort of ownership of the sport which in return will help alleviate some of the problems such as volunteer burn out, off trail riding, trespassing, loud cans etc. Of course I am sure that to set a good example for others, Nunz et al will be keeping to the official speed limits, not favouring one product or business over another, keeping their machines stock......

Money saved on the Bullit trailer and included equipment pays for my entire sled season this year and I plan to get around quite a bit. No difference between this model and the Triton offering in quality. Personally, never consider or give a damn what the trade in value will be - acquire for my own use and specs. In the case a subsequent owner does not recognize the genius of my various improvements to an implement, they don't deserve to have it.

Bored out of my mind with that show and as I need nothing further for this year, will not be going. Any 'deals' are evened out by the price of admission and what it costs to get there. A tip from previous years - buy tickets online and enter by the door closest to the rail line where usually where the acrobatics take place - way shorter line up. (you will probably loose any seniors discount - but the line ups can be so long you might pass your 65th birthday in it ) There may be other events in the same complex that can also be taken in- once a drug convention at which there was free food to be had. Many of us are of the age where we can speak with authority about various blood pressure and cholesteral medication so fit right in next to the pharmacist digging in to bacon, eggs, and pancakes with table syrop. A free to enter photography show in another area was also interesting. If you think of it, post if they have finally given away that black Corvette they have in a draw every year - looks like the same one each event.

Darn tootin. I have taken on the challenge of improving my high school French with some success during more recently frequent trips to Quebec. Such an initiative is tough later in life so any help is appreciated. Recently in Shawinigan - my Petro Can points card won't work at the self serve gas pump. Multiple unsuccessful attempts prompts a furious gush of Francais from the attendant inside. I miss most of it so I say "Plus lentement si vous plait! Je parle l'Anglaise." Out of the speaker comes...... P....A.....Y.........................................................I....N....S.....I........D............E

Jam filled ones are my favourite so far in case you need help deciding.

For myself, had to remove the bacon pieces and the pretzels on certain donuts as they are high in salt. You can't be too careful when it comes to your health.

Well, let's try this: The Burger King restaurant number for Deep River is 8642 - link to the survey is: https://www.mybkexperience.com/?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 Full Disclosure - by filling out the survey, I get a free Whopper (plain- no cheese) if I buy a small, medium, or large fry, and a soft drink within one month.

Having completed an appointment in Petawawa today, continued on to pick up a few donuts from McGuire's in Pembroke as featured in this CBC news story: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/doughnuts-pembroke-musician-mcguires-doughnuts-1.5239150 A recipe is included in the news story. As the Ontario trail map continues to be hidden, I can't tell if it is near a trail or not, but those staying at the Holiday Inn at the junction of 17 and 41 just have to continue up the street (by wheeled vehicle) to down town - not too far. Good thing I took the truck.... As my research continues over the next few days, I'll report on some of the favourites. The blue icing tastes pretty good. And PREPARE YOUR FOOD FOR SNOWMOBILING WEEK is coming up - was hoping to incorporate this into a tax receipt issuing entity, but unfortunately all the good ribbon colours have already been claimed and taken up.

With most of the pre-season maintenance and upgrades done, both sleds are now trail ready and in the trailer - here's how they fit - 137 " track in first, 129" next, (although can switch the order) and plenty of room for gas cans, and other accessories. Machines should be close as possible to the trailer walls for best fit of ski hold downs. Extra door comes in handy Experimental ramp door art Thanks to 02sled for the 2 inch ABS pipe trick at the top of the ramp. (1 1/2 inch works fines as well)

Didn't mention anything about consultations with First Nations people in the area - not good. After the 'discussion' about the Champlain statue and the cannons pointed the 'wrong' way, you would think this would be standard practice just to possibly avoid any unpleasantness.

Absolutely correct on all points. I was picturing a different type trailer while reading your post - would not be too difficult to cover the cut with fiberglass fabrication, vinyl sheet or even a flap of rubber with tie downs or fasteners.

I stand corrected - must have been swept away by the majesty of your home renovations and not enough coffee yet this am. I did it to protect Canadian jobs.

Sorry bud, thought you had your answer already and put some new info I found up there. Not sure what Big Fish was thinking when suggesting a large square hole at the back (kitchen renovations no doubt - must have had second thoughts as it has disappeared ) I would have suggested two smaller ski holes cut out in the front.

Both Blake and I have one - he is enthusiastic about its towing capabilities in terms of aerodynamics - more from him hopefully. The Bullit is a newcomer to this particular market niche and my research prior to purchase did not find any other model. Like most things you acquire, it needed a few adjustments and improvements, but nothing major - I am a bit OCD when it comes to adjusting something now or fixing it at the side of the road at -30 celsius. One danger I did not mention was, when working on your sled inside of the trailer always wear head protection - it hurts when a thin scalp contacts a hot roof. I did a review of the trailer here - both good and bad points, unlike some who get them for free and won't give an honest appraisal - Having been both my full weight on top of it waxing the roof without any flexing and under it having a look at welds and structure, I am pretty impressed with the construction. Some internet research has easily sourced out any spare parts - bearings, hubs, and the like (Lippert a well known brand name, much like Dexter) With the extra door and the various tracks and tie downs included good monetary deal as well. The new model advertised has an extra gas charged spring for the front door when previously there was only one. Mine works fine with the single one. ms. slomo and I can easily wheel the thing around the driveway by hand with a machine inside, haven't loaded the second one yet but expect good balance over length to be the same. Brand names? If it helps you sleep at night I guess. I cringe when reading someone making blanket statements about the quality of something without pointing to any comparisons or research to back gaseous claims. Anyway, my interior lights are installed, bearing adjustments up to spec and ready for winter. Might build in a spare tire holder on the rear fold down door if I can ascertain the framework will support a bracket and the wheel weight. thetorches - drop over to North Land trailers in Port Perry, have a look at the Triton model. I'm in the Parry Sound area on weekends after end of August if you want to have a look at mine.

Time to personalize it.....Sticker You....stand out from the crowd....nice colour though https://www.stickeryou.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=local&utm_term=HQ
