Well I got to play Santa yesterday. I went to get my mail and there were two Christmas cards in my mail box, the street address on the cards was right but I didn't recognize the names. One of the cards wasn't sealed and there was a $150.00 gift card in it for grocery stores, I'm not sure what was in the other card but there was something in it too. I checked with our office here in the park thinking perhaps someone had just written down the wrong street number but they didn't recognize the name either. There was a return address on the card but I was afraid that if they went back to the post office who knows where they might have ended up so I decided to try to contact the sender. Well easier said than done, I checked for phone numbers for the name on the return address, no luck. Then I googled the address and in street view found out that it was a modular home park and there was a sign "Georgina Heights" . I googled that and sure enough there was a phone number, only problem is that this park was in Cornerbrook BC but the phone number was 519 area code (Southern Ontario). I tried calling the number just in case it was a management office but no luck, it was the wrong number. Well, I did have the last name of the addressee and a first initial but when I tried calling the only phone number I could find it was no longer in service. Well I kind of felt funny about reading the card but the envelope wasn't sealed so... the message in the card had a different first name so I did another search using the first name of the person mentioned in the card and got a local phone number. I called and a gentalman answered, I asked if he knew someone in Cornerbrook BC and he kind of hesitated so I explained I had some mail that had been sent to me by mistake and was trying to redirect it to the proper person, I didn't want to divulge too much until I knew I had the right person. Well it turns out that yes his sister lived there and the name matched the return address name. It turned out that his address is 11 Homewood, mine is 11 Homestead, his sister had just written it down wrong. Anyway it is only about 20 minutes drive over to his place so I ran the cards over to him. So, it took me about two hours total but I got to see someone enjoy a Christmas present they might never have received otherwise and I got to feel like Santa Claus 😊

Oh shut up lets go with AKRISONERs weather report lol 😆 i want to get ice fishing

Just in case some of you were wondering about ice conditions here is a shot from my webcam on Hunters Bay on Nipissing. Yesterday there were some open spots but it appears frozen today. It’s a little bit later than normal but if it stays cold enough over the next three weeks the season opener should be good to go.

Well that looks like some pretty nice work. No idle hands at your desk.

All wives love musky gear. Sometimes you just have to spoil them; something like a 400 dollar St. Croix rod should do. Expensive? Perhaps. But the look on her face will be priceless.

You guys have it all wrong. My wife would RATHER fishing gear than most other things! The problem is, when we go fishing, she kicks my A$$...... S.

Hard to beat that Cliff, enjoy your pulled pork. I buy the whole loins when they come on sale and chop it all up into kebobs and freeze in meal size portions for Debbe and I. We like pork kebobs and have 2 different marinades we use for them and have kebobs weekly. I scored last time they where on sale so I really stocked up or I'd be heading for a value mart looking for the deal you got.

What Terry said. I still use my X67 and it will pretty much do the same thing. Unless you're intent on seeing bugs walk on the bottom of the lake bed, there comes a time when hype and moneys worth just don't justify the end.

How about a fillet knife and cleaning board. Just sleep with one eye open after the 25th of Dec.
