I'd be headed for home if I were you Cliff! I don't think its a stretch to suggest that international borders will soon be closed...

I bought a pair of NATS for this season based partly on your advice misfish. I agree with every word - super warm, unbelievably light and very comfortable.

Public healthcare provides free testing. Right now the private US system has a gov't administration trying to get this approved while keeping private insurance/manufacturers/lobbyists happy while attaching a bunch of other non-related matters to the bill. Without testing where are the hot spots to focus on? Where to focus a properly sized media education campaign? S. Korea does more tests per day than the US has done up to now. Canada has done over 1,000. US decided to not use the WHO test method in order to allow private industry to create it in the US. 'Glitches' are claimed to have prevented creation of a working test kit. US claims 3,000 cases nation wide but Seattle claims 546 there alone. Without testing no one knows but numbers seem way more than a non-testing gov't says. May become another Italy the way things are going, sadly.

My Ram did the same when I got it. 2014 new 8 speed tranny . They installed new updates and it never been back. Nice ride G.

But once you figure it out like I have been able, and I am a HB 101 for dummies guy, I have it set that I was even able to mark a size 10 scud drop hook in 90 fow this morning .

Congrats on everything Geoff. About time is right! Love that ride. I have always been a GM kinda guy. Dad was a GM man from day 1 as Mom and his main ride. The very 1st memory I have of our family car was a beautiful 55 Chevy, 2 door hardtop. Predominantly Forest Green with a white roof and white body accents. Would that be nice today or what?. I know it had leather interior because I remember I liked the taste of leather and I would chew on the backs of the front seat. Come on I was 2. All those Ram Rodders and Foolish-150 owners are jealous of that beauty you have now. That colour I used to call Blackberry, on black it is a head turner. I am still driving my 011 Silverado my wonderful wife bought me brand new, my 1st ever brand new vehicle I ever had. With all this talk of doom and gloom last night we were talking and we said maybe it's time to trade her in and get into a nice new Caddy SUV. I've had a few huge Caddies, my wife called the 81 Eldorado "The Love Barge." You will love her, the new bride too, good luck to you both. edit: Be careful backing up, those tail lights ain't cheap. Please don't ask me why. I paid 200 bucks less for my 1st car, a 66' MGB. I just looked at the pics again. That is one mean machine Geoff me boy. Maybe a Sierra. I had a 89' Sierra short box step side before this Chevy, traded her in on the Chevy with 400,000 miles on the 350, couldn't kill it. Think hard about the underbody protection. I didn't get it but now think I should have. Maybe not from the dealer, shop around with the aftermarket guys if you are interested.

USA has just stopped all flights from Europe. This simply means travelers will come through Canada to get there. This in effect makes us screen and deal with these passengers. We need to keep in mind that presently the whole idea isn't to stop it from getting here but to slow it down so as few people as possible at any given time require critical medical treatment. 'Flattening the curve' they call it. If too many need critical care (won't take many with hospitals packed now) decisions will be made as to who lives and who dies like apparently in Italy now. Without public healthcare the US is having serious issues even getting free test kits going unlike places like S. Korea where hundreds of thousands are tested weekly. Likely to spread more quickly in the US than in Canada and now we will be paying to help screen travelers to help flatten the US curve while raising ours.

Good info, did not know that. The Crappie in Wabigoon Lake are interesting. I moved here in 2007 and caught my first one that summer, it was a slab of around 14” inches. Growth rates vary from place to place and from source of info too, but after studying up and factoring in the slower growth rates you generally get in fish this far north, I would say that the first one I caught was at least 10 years old. It was not until a couple years later that I discovered how to catch them consistently by accident one springtime. At that point there were very few locals I knew that targeted them or even knew what a crappie was. Once the word got out about 5 years ago they are very popular locally, and people think they have only been here a few years, but unless the crappy that I caught was one of the originals ‘introduced’ to the lake they have been in the lake for 20 years at least. I have heard two versions from 2 separate Conservation Officers , one said they got into the Wabigoon chain of lakes by way of the humble pelican, pelicans find them easy prey when they are shallow in the spring and full of eggs, they consume them, fly to other lakes, take a poo containing in damaged eggs and those hatch. The other version is a local guy, who has since passed away, introduced them illegally in the mid / late 80’s, It could be a bit of both but I tend to believe the latter.

I have the 2018 version and has been rock solid. 50,000 k and it has not been babied. 3 trips to the Nipigon area, 1 to Quebec and another pulling my camper to PEI.. I will have to keep it for awhile because it has some scratches from the bush.. my only complaint is that the wheels and tires are for in town driving and not off road..

Yummy
