got GT5?? ill be hooking mine up to the internet when im back at home on the 5th!

No, unfortunately won't be getting GT5 until the first week of January..dying to play it though. Already getting a little tired of Black Ops. I'm just afraid I'll get a little obsessed with GT5..

We didn't have much time for Christmas this year but my father in law bought me a new Echo Chainsaw. I'm pretty happy with that!

Eh, $370 for 1100 ft lbs of breakaway torque aint so bad. I know your **** is overpriced up north though. I never buy sockets from them, craftsman and harbor freight work just fine for low end stuff

there was a shop selling them here for $175/case a couple weeks ago, i was all over it like fat kid on cake.

Can't stand Snap-on air tools, louder than anything I've heard. My MAC gun was $370 (CND!), 1100 ft/lbs break away torque at a lower line pressure than the Snap-on gun, and whisper quiet(for an impact, anyway. I can at least have conversations in the shop while using it, everyone has to stop when the guys with Snap-on use theirs.) Maybe you've got one we don't have available to us up here though, that may be the case, I dunno. Not to knock Snap-on though, part of my gift was a cordless screwdriver thing, which I use every day because I'm still an apprentice and therefore get shitty trim work.

Back on topic: Bunch of movies, a new hoody (seems people were upset at me for wearing mine to work all the time and wrecking them), assorted tools, chocolate, new snow pants for my upcoming snowboarding trip, bottle of Crown Royal from the shop foreman at work, a few car books (including a supercar book that lists not only 1989-2002 GT-Rs, but also the turbo Dodges that I got my first taste of boost from ), more presents to open tomorrow, and last but not least, a Blue R34 GT-R! ....Hot Wheels car, but wicked none-the-less.

I got a snowboard to replace my old one, a large amount of tools (and huge metric socket set!), some stuff for the car, bunch of chocolate and nuts, iPhone case, a nice big wine glass set (essential), and Neil Peart's book about riding his bike down to South America. Also got an obscene amount of beer and wine which has already been put to good use.
Also bought some things for myself, Kenwood head unit, Infinity sub , new keyboard and mouse, and gonna pick up some things tomorrow at the sales.

The GoPro is a sweet cam! Did my in-car shots with one, best value for the money!
Never done snowboard shots before, but thanks for the idea Oakville

on the topic of being an apprentice, if i moved back to canadia would i have to do anything special as far as certification if i've been working in shops for several years in the states?

I'm doing my apprenticeship right now. You'd probably have to write the CofQ again and depending on the province you might have to go through at least one year of trade school again. All I know is that most state standards are much more relaxed than they are here.

[m_melen]

not a chance of me doing trade school again. i cant imagine that id have to, i went to trade school in montreal so im sure theyd exempt me from that.i could deal with a test, though. i know the standards in the states are really relaxed, none of the guys i work with went through any formal training. all they have down here is ASE

trip to florida... where i am now rustless cars and palm trees baby!
