Like I mentioned,the smoker was busy while I was away. Spoils of yesterdays catch. Dry brine for 6 hours, rinse,rack, let sit in the fridge til 4am this morning. Pop in the smoker with a pan of apple chunks,another added when I got home.

Yes buddy,I waded my way out at your old haunt. Just as the rain started,down went the float. Nothing like a Sunday morning quicky

I bought a pair of these last week. I got to use them this weekend . With my left eye as you all know, having glaucoma and surgery repair, the bright lights these days are bad for me. It was recommended that I buy and try a pair of these. I have to say, what a great relief. Like I said,I used them this weekend during my early morning drive to the river. They knock that super bright head lights down to a dim. Not blinding anymore. I also wore them home this morning during a overcast day. They sure brighten up the light. When I got home and took them off, man it was really like day and night. I would recommend anyone that has the same blinding issues I have . Worth the money I spent on my pair. I even got a nice cleaning cloth and hard case. I can see clearly now ,the blinding light is gone,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, https://www.amazon.ca/Bell-Howell-Polarized-Sunglasses-Military-Inspired/dp/B07771NCTS

Border is still closed . I am guessing it's an ON boat

I've fished the French river for over 50 years, often several times a season. I had my son ( who is DD) with me a few years ago. He has always liked looking at stars, but where we live on Ohio there is always too much ambient lighting to get any really good views. So, one night at the lodge it was a clear night and I pointed out the Big Dipper, Milky Way, etc. to him. He was fascinated. When we went back into the cabin, he asked when he could see the northern lights. I explained to him they were fairly rare, and that in somewhere between 50 and 100 trips to Ontario, I had only seen them once. The next night, after he went to bed I read for awhile. When I decided it was time to hit the pillow, I went out on the deck and grabbed a bottle of water. As I looked up from getting the bottle, I was astounded to see the northern lights in all their weaving glory. Of course, I woke my son, and, in fact, the camp bell was ringing to wake others for this rare event. It went on for awhile. My son was fascinated. I'm not crazy religious, but I am certain there was something going on here.
