  1. I apologize for the ramp being down from everyone here in Haldimand to those that comes from out of town to use our free ramp and take up every parking spot. I am going to talk to the Mayor and see if he can raise our taxes a bit, just a tiny bit so we can build another ramp for you out of towners. $3500 a year in property taxes for a 900 sqft cottage with zero municipal services including sewer and water, no public transportation (75 bucks for a cab from the lake to Caledonia, a 25 minute drive). I think we can all kick in a few more bucks a year to build you a new ramp. You are all welcomed. Johnny D/Selkirk On.

  2. I never had much interest in walleye fishing but for a good chunk of my life we always did a trip to Quinte on the May 24 weekend and a favorite bait was tolling a blue / orange Bomber Long A after sunset.

  3. 49, well that's a good start for a screen play. There's a story many would be interested In hearing Dave.a thing about being single and the life, not a single bit. Yes my card was a Chargex now Visa. Show a millennial one of those card swipers and I wouldn't believe they would know what it is BUT. Friday a refrigeration tech came here to look at the fridge that is leaking and guess what he had to take a credit card? Yep a card swiper, I swear.

  4. Johnny , it is all over the place cause of the supplement depending on your income. I am lucky, my American wife of 20 years, yesterday was our anniversary, has never drawn a paycheque in Canada, so I do the income splitting thing to the MAX, get a bit of a supplement cause my income is lowered. Get someone to help with the taxes or a good program, lots of tax advantages with age, you'll be surprised how little you pay . I have a fairly good guy that does our taxes. He better be based on what he charges. We do the income spitting thing and I know that based on my gross income I should be eligible for the supplement that I applied for. I never though I would make it to 65. To think of it I still haven't. I once got very good advise from an old timer, having a good Accountant is more important than having a good Lawyer. A very successful businessman that once owned most of the real estate in downtown Hamilton once told us to be successful one should owe a million dollars when he dies not have a million dollars in the bank. I'm well on my way to being successful. My parents grew up during the Great Depression and WW2. If you didn't have the cash in your pocket you didn't buy it. The 1st and last time they got credit was for the home I grew up in. We are going through settling the estate as Dad passed this passed April. I was floored when we found out he was carrying around a card with 100K credit available on it, guess what the balance was, yep, zippo. There was 1 transaction on it from 12 years ago when he bought his last car for 35K. That was the very 1st new car off the lot they ever bought. I remember driving out into the sticks in Stoney Creek to pay the mortgage every week. (They were the grand parents of the Hartsburg brothers of NHL fame if anyone remembers them) I didn't get my 1st credit card until I got married at 24. When I got divorced from my former wife she had a stack 2" high. I have 2 and my wife has 2, I think. No Irishfield, you don't get a paycheque you hand out paycheques!

  5. Issue resolved. I tried moving the gas tank up to about half the height of the motor and it was spilling gas out the fuel pump. Let it running for about 30 seconds and it continued. Hooked everything back up and it was running for a good 5 mins without issues. Thanks for the help guys.

  8. Thousands upon thousands of fans screaming, yelling & cheering on their favorite teams and everybody having a blast, don't think I'd be too upset about 4 ladies also having fun whether it was over the game or not. Life's waaaay too short to sweat the little stuff.

  9. I'd have asked them if they could lower their voices. could work, or not, never know. kinda related. was camping in algonquin few years back and there was a very loud radio crowd with kids next to us. didn't look like the crowd you'd want to ask to tone it down but went over anyways. they were apologetic and turned their radio off. told them that wasn't necessary, just a bit lower volume. they were great the rest of the weekend and really nice people.

  10. They also paid $110.00 to have a good time. How they have it is up to them. I'm sorry they spoiled your day but they weren't drunk, fist fighting or smoking stupid stick. I'm sure you went to the old Ivor Wynne in Hamilton. If you got tickets in section 26 the action in the stands could be more entertaining than the Cats on the field. I can still hear the tinkle tink tinkle sound of an empty 26er of Wiser's Whisky roll down the concrete steps.
