That's where I'm at now that I've retired. Never knew how hard it is to make something different for supper every night. For me, it's no big deal, throw a couple of hotdogs in a pan and I'm eating in 10 minutes. That only works once every couple of months for the wife. Tonight is smothered baked pork chops, served on a bed of rice. Tomorrow I'm thinking buttered chicken. Homemade butter sauce of course; she likes curried foods but not too heavy on the spices. She's worked, raised the kids, and cooked for all these years. It's my turn to give back. Plus she's the money winner right now and I don't want to screw up my weekly allowance!!! LOL Dan.

Got this from Friends who love Vintage Toronto site I belong to. They say it’s 1959. The car seems familiar.

I’m just a couple of minutes from the Yacht club and it’s open for access, the parking area wasn’t plowed on the 17th adding another 100 yards to your walk out.. a couple of permanent shacks are out now and we fished around both of them for a few weeks… a couple of 5ish # pike and a few perch, most people I talked to are using minnows but we have been doing fine with jigs and a little piece of worm. GOOD LUCK

hope it works out for you Doug!

You are correct. At the similar Ah rating a series rated 24V system will out perform a 12V system. The have a 12V system and wiring them in parallel this is the best solution for what I am running - short of dripping $3k for a new trolling motor.

Ok, it wasn't a cougar but a Lynx or bobcat that I saw last summer. Diving out of the trailer park's lane (Heavily wooded on each side) something caught my eye and I slowed to a stop. There it was an amazing cat, about 15 feet inside the bush. It was just standing there dead still. After a bit of staring at each other, I looked down to grab my phone to take a picture. When I looked up it was gone; never made as a sound, it was like a ghost. I still wish I didn't look away but just sit there to watch this amazing animal. Dan.

Well, if you insist on being obstreperous, WHAT PART OF SPLAKE DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? Maybe if you can't tell a splake from a walleye, even with an identification of the fish in question, your not having "seen a distressed fish" tells you that you need to have your eyes checked. And for your further edification, the bait was not petrified. We also caught lake trout in Loughborough Lake with big heads and skinny bodies back ten or twelve years ago when the smelt population crashed, that had undigested bits of plastic baits in their stomachs and intestines, and APPARENTLY blocking their digestive tracts. I am not a fisheries biologist, I am an angler that takes note of unusual things when I catch and/or clean fish. BTW please note that I EAT fish, quite a bit in fact, and resent your inference that I or the other folks posting on here, are members of the extremist animal rights organization you name.

Doug, I posted that and then remembered I know a gal that was in my high school homeroom in the '70's that lives in Rideau Ferry so I looked her up and gave her a ring and she says yes at the Yacht Club boat launch.....not sure when he's coming or if he really wants to drive on the lake to go fishing on the deeper side but guys are fishing right out in front of the yacht Club beach all the time. If they run into problems call us at.....we are at the end of that road inside the park. Give us a name just in case. She wants to know when you plan this and your name in case you call... I've sent you a PM with her phone # and you can give me your full name there so I can pass it on. Wayne

Wish I could help Doug, haven't been to the Ferry in 40 years.
