  1. One of my favorite George Carlin quotes:

     

    "You know how I define the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there......well, the poor are there just to scare the crap out of the middle class. Keep 'em showing up at those jobs every day."

  2. Got the same neighborhood situation goin on here as well. When the snow flies.......everyones out helping everyone clear out. We havent had any bad apple neighbors for as long as i can remember. Not just snow either........if someone gets a chord of wood dumped in the the driveway, ill be there to help stack it. If someones doin a roof, ya see neighbors stoppin over to swing a hammer. Hear a chainsaw stallin out across the street, ill go get mine out of the garage and bring it over.

     

    Its amazing how society as a whole gets painted with that "Me first" brush when really i witness alot different than that on alot of occasions.

     

    Think the closer ya get to the city life the more accurate that may be. I actually do hear of some horror stories from time to time.

     

    Case in point, i know someone who was painting their house a couple years back and thier neighbor didnt like the color ("they had to look at it too") So the lady kept spraying the house with the hose while the paint was wet to ruin the paint. Of course she was doing it by accident while watering her shrubs. Police had to be brought in to let the paint dry lol. I couldnt even imagine having to live next to that.

  3. Your 100% right Wayne and if I remember correctly troutman1 is just a youngster.

     

    He's obviously very upset with losing his lifelong friend but some of these guys would rather make him feel like a fool for expressing his feelings.

     

    Makes you wonder about some of the folks around here.

     

    Agreed.........seriously, where am I, 3rd grade gym class.

     

    Sorry to hear about losin your buddy troutman. Your more of an adult than some of the posters in this thread.

  4. That is cool you have gar in Chataqua Blaque. It's amazing that not many people target them, and they are one of the coolest fish I have ever caught and go nuts when hooked! Heck, I'm hooked on gar now, they are awesome!

     

    That was many years ago.......im not sure if they still inhabit the lake. I did go back to the area we fished years later and gave it a pretty quickly timed attempt between walleye fishing to no avail. That doesnt mean they arent still in the lake.........i just didnt hook any that afternoon.

     

    I also saw a large group of them spawning right at shore in south bay up on nippissing a few years ago. (obviously didnt target them)

  5. Very cool Aaron.............i discovered gar years ago on an inland lake here in NY (chautaqua) I was a young teen just tossing floating raps for largemouth wading the shoreline and saw a stick with teeth on it rise up near my lure. I couldnt explain what it was, then it hit and was hooked. I was perplexed at what was going on (i had no idea at the time what this thing was lol) I brought it to my feet and almost ran for shore. I then thought..........man i gotta land this thing and get a picture in case ive found something that may be of interest to the DEC. Come to find out by a local that it was a known species. Wasnt known to me LOL.... Its one of my most memorable fishing experiences.

     

    We ended up hooking many more that day and found the same fast and furious action you guys had.

     

    Great show

  6. I also heard recentely about a recall on the Ford F-150's but so far I haven't been contacted by my dealer. If I don't hear by next week I'll give them a call.

     

    Something evidentely can short out causing a fire but details were sketchy at best.

     

    This is what i believe your referring to Lew. I heard about it but also have not been contacted by the dealer on the issue.

     

    I got a Christmas Card from them though :thumbsup_anim:
