Round 1 - seven years ago!

Fiddleheads are way behind this year. Bumped in to a few of these though

It would suit me just fine to keep the borders closed, everyone can keep their own cooties in their own yard. There's no NEED to travel out of the country, only personal WANT.

Swap them out for a can of red kidney beans and a 1/4 cup of molasses G.

Looks good again Brian. Debbe makes awesome raisin bread but I could not find her old recipe. Truthfully she has not made it for years but it is really good. If she still has the recipe hidden somewhere I will send it your way.

Thanks for the encouraging words Wayne July maybe???? I hope the Mrs is well

Now that bread sure does look good.

Rough Riders. It,s a 2 part series .

Memorable Firsts in the outdoors- Candace "Candy" Hanlon. mmmm Sorry to bust a thread, but this really stuck with me and was the first memory to come to mind.😈

A friend of mine sent me this and I thought its worth posting here.

Can't wait for the fiddleheads. As for steelhead, fall only for this guy.

Hey there Rick, good to "see" you! I noticed that you weren't joining in on the cooking topic you started way back when, but figured you were still laid low with your serious work injury you told me about a while back. Hope you are your crew are well, and yes, next time I am up your way we are GOING to go fishing!!! I had no moose to can this year, and no goose either, so when the time came to lay down a few jars in the impending pandemic apocalypse I ended up doing ground BEEF, and CHICKEN, and PORK sausages. Sad but true............mind you I did one batch of canned ground venison......... Doug

saturday we had a crazy hatch of some kinda midges, i ate one when a breeze blew one in my open mouth lol...not that that helped me catch any trout at all lollll

Bonus for me I guess, as I've always demanded ZERO free advertisment logos or plate wraps on every vehicle I buy. Last one was my '18 truck and the prep guy had stuck a Bourgeois sticker on the tailgate. I requested it's removal and with reluctance salesman tore it off.. and the clear coat. Tail gate then swapped from another truck for me and a sticker put back on the other....

I fished both days with my kids. We got skunked as well!! I don't feel so bad now!! Couldn't beat the weather though!!

no, he talked to each of them directly, he runs a small marina/ boat storage operation thing if you want to back up your opinion with a wager, $100 or whatever, I'll post a picture in a week of a $750 ticket from hwy 35 from one of these cottagers?

Well Dave welcome back. If you are ever heading to Lindsay for any reason soon I might be able to help you out with a few fishing items. G

Where's the cheese? Please don't tell me that orange coloured stuff is cheese. There is however a place for it in our society but 1 place it shouldn't be is on a magnificent sangwidge like that Brian. Fake cheese allowed on 1) grilled cheese or 2) cheeseburgers.

You'll have a hard time launching in Penetang or Midland. Shot I grabbed while we were out doing some essential travel to the banks outer wall deposit slot.

Sounds like another "I was told by a buddy who was told by a buddy" story especially since the OPP have stated they are not doing this.

That's my opinion too. From the WHO right on down, federal, provincial, and all the so called expert advisors, total incompetence, resulting in thousands of lives needlessly lost I talked to, from a distance, a busy body guy who lives up here in Haliburton and knows a lot of cottagers, he's heard of 3 incidents of cops pulling over cottager's cars on hwy 35 and telling them to go home, 2 refused and got $750 tickets

Lol. I am lying and need to learn how to read? What am I mis representing? They also mention in the article that those are only frontline staff. Nurses, doctors, PSW's. The numbers are much higher if they included support staff, like food prep or custodial. So who is misrepresenting? I am trying to paint a target on a system that failed to protect people who can't protect themselves. Not the workers themselves. But in my opinion, the only way to prevent, or at least lessen the impact of another pandemic, is to limit travel. Again, it's the question of how so many people who can't travel and who are dependent on others for care, were so heavily infected. Was it family? Frontline staff? Or support staff? Had to be one of those 3, correct? I don't think it's a random coincidence that healthcare workers were one of the most heavily infected sectors of the population, and infections in LTC were so high. Again, every infected healthcare worker also effects the system exponentially, so if you can remove or minimize those infections, you are better able to deal with infections among the general population. To me that makes sense, but I am ignorant and cant read.

Cisco, Toronto is not ontario. I agree, most international travel happens in the big cities, and that is why cases are so high among the general population. But they are specifically talking about how so many healthcare workers tested positive. Toronto was on the low end of those percentages. Peterborough was 45 percent of cases, on the high end, which is where the first spike in deaths occurred. They also specifically say that of the health care workers tested positive, most got it from travel. They were very quick to point that out, to dispell notions that it was being spread despite PPE's and clinical precautions. Again my whole point is that if i get sick, its no big loss to a critical system. If a healthcare worker is infected, right away the effect is felt exponentially. Especially in a smaller region. That person is quarantined, and so are anyone they came in contact with, which, if you are a heathcare worker, means other healthcare workers. Who picks up the slack, work extra shift, and are at an even greater risk due too fatigue in a dangerous situation? Their co-workers. For the record, i have spoken to an opp officer, hospital staff, paramedic, and a volunteer firefighter. All agree. I am sure there will be some serious investigations into how it got into the one sector of our population that we knew was at risk, and had no way of really isolating themselves.

A wise old electrician at work use to tell me of a Dyslectic Agnostic man who was never really sure there was a dog. Moparfest come on man! Just have them bring the B bodied cars they are all 18 ft long.
