YK Thom Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 A nice sculpted ice bar Very nice, that looks like some really good ice to be that clear. They cut blocks out of the bay. There is an ice sculpture compitition as well. A Japanese guy won last year. We get thousands of Asian tourists in the winter up here aurora viewing.

Turbox Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 where is the best place to see those northern lights tom? its on my bucket list. what time of year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 where is the best place to see those northern lights tom? its on my bucket list. what time of year? Right here in Yellowknife NWT. Aurora tourism has become a very well established industry here. Pretty much any time between mid September and the end of March. I would recommend January to March as you are less likely to get cloudy conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfbane Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Are there many fellow Canadian forum members here? Thoughts on Klipsch availability in Canada as well as the sinking (plummeting), dollar? What's a Canadian? Isn't that a type of bacon??? Calgary right now. Scottsdale soon I hope. With the price of logs, rocks and oil all down things are not as great in the Great White North currently. Back Bacon is the correct name for what some people call 'Canadian Bacon'. More bad news: American Cheese is actually 'Cheddar Cheese' and it should not be dyed orange. Ever.

Babylon7 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 You can probably post here if you are looking for something in particular. I am sure several forum members are willing to ship to Canada! By the way, I still think Ebay is the best place to shop for Klipsch deals. Most forum members selling know the value and sometimes even ask more than their worth because the company they keep in here. On Ebay some people find the goods at Salvation Army, yard sales, estate sales or whatever and just offer them up cheaply. For the seller willing to ship to Canada, not only is there expensive shipping costs, but also duty (on old items!)... It almost always ending up being double (with the poor exchange)...

Very true, 42 cents on the dollar pretty much kills that thought......now I have to go downstairs and cook some peameal bacon!

Saw a speaker on ebay for US$90, this is followed by USPS shipping of US$77, and then conversion for a total of CAN$ 240!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) What's a Canadian? Isn't that a type of bacon??? To clarify I changed my photo to one taken at last March's Long John Jamboree.Sitting in an outdoor patio at -21 on a frozen lake drinking beer. Like a good Canadian. At -21 degrees ambient that would be warm beer, right? Edited January 21, 2016 by babadono 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 22, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2016 You have to hold the beer so it does not freeze, now that's different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Y'all know the difference between a Yankee and a Damn Yankee don't ya? Keith A Yankee visits the south and a damn Yankee visits and never leaves. They're like hemorrhoids. Once they come down they never go back up and are a pain in the a**. (I'm a damn yankee).

YK Thom Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 A proper photo of the Long-john Jamboree site. It is a good time for aurora viewing as the temps are getting better as well as longer hours of daylight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
