Merry Christmas to all.

Don’t take you phone fishing!

Why do you need one? You are a smoker? we preserve all sorts of stuff and don’t use one!

Seacore in Woodbridge sells them. They are located at Weston Rd and the 407.

Here is a business kindness. We have a fresh pasta store, family owned which we support. We buy pasta sheets; my wife used her card to pay for it $8.77. we get home and we get a phone call from them after they did a search that they had charged her $877.00 !!! All well they contacted the card company and they adjusted the amount. On our next visit we all laughed at the matter and when they issued the receipt we made a point to make sure it was was correct. Clients for 30+ Years. will never use anyone else. Their fresh pasta is the best, along with imported goodies. $30 feeds 18 and lots of leftovers.

We brought up four girls with one income, there was almost never a do you deliver night! we make everything at home from jarred tomatoes to our own cured pork products. I make my own wine and have been for 40+ years. Always keep a well stocked pantry from specials or buy in bulk. Today’s kids are a bit different want stuff prepared for them. Advertising (which I was/am in) sold that idea. Fisherman, we have NEVER had a TV dinner! they still sell that crap! if in pinch; broccoli rob (Rapini) in frying pan with garlic and a few hot red pepper 🌶 flakes and on a hot plate of pasta. About $2.00 for four.

Cliff your kindness and perseverance will be repaid eventually. I too found a package in my mail box last month, street behind me, rang the bell no one came but there was a car in the driveway, left it on a chair.

I have a lot of them and wish them all the best. In these trying times. No matter what we do, this situation should keep us together. Let’s Celebrate the holidays as best as we can. Keep safe better times are coming, hopefully.

Why waste in the oven!

here in Woody they them on every corner fresh egg pasta. Then you ask them to be cut into linguine fettuccine spaghetti . . . We buy ten sheet cut into three equal pieces and wife make makes lasagna, feeds 10 easy.!

But will they want it ALL eventually, that is the question? As they used to say many years ago “gas, a$$ or grass, nobody rides for free”

i renewed on line and it was here in two weeks. Yes we don’t have to do it, but I like to follow the rules and regulations, always have, there are no free rides and eventually we will pay for missed renewals. I hated standing in line to renew!!! We all remember those years.. Wayne, don’t worry I won’t turn you in. Now the driver’s licence and heath card, both expired!! Will tackle next week. If a photo is needed then I’m as they say, SOL. Keep well, what I posted is only my experience and not as we say in advertising a CTA (Call To Action).

HEI i was only guessing figured built and you will have fishing spots close by. I’m city folk lol

B it depends on how long they will be out there. Is it a weekend or a week overnight fishing trip . . .Many years ago we had a heater fail on Simcoe in the middle of the night it was not pretty and glad we had two huts. yes wood is a nice touch we had one on Simcoe and lugged wood out every weekend. I remember a guy who had an oil drip system, that was classic and dangerous!

Cliff, I sent you an idea in an email. may not be viable but a thought.

Lew, my reno took longer than “quoted” but it was done to my satisfaction. Our basement stairs were builder installed and painted grey. The stairs were capped with hardwood, riser and step. Matching the floor colour was no easy task, took him over a week to have stain custom blended. Electrician was someone I worked with closely because of the generator hook up outside box. I gave him and extra $100. When it was all done a close friend and also an electrical contractor came over and wanted to see the hook up, outside perfect, inside NOT, need to separate what circuits you want to run in a power outage. he tasked me to find the lines and label them, I did. he put in a pony panel and transferred all of the lines. Cost: espresso home baled goods and a good conversation. I did his logo when he started his own company also at no cost. when I started the reno I could have picked electricians and other trades but having a lot of people come in it causes confusion and sometimes pisses off other trades. I have to do my roof next year and that scares me a bit.

Comes in very handy, she made three huge pizzas Saturday and they were all ready at the same time! Lots of room for a family get together no lugging food down stairs. daughter that lives with has it all set up after she sold her house in Bowmanville.

I had my basement done in 2018. Drew my own plans, not to scale but very close. Got 3 quotes and they were as different as night and day. We do this we do not do that. I was going to do my own plumbing and move a water tank (with help of a master plumber/gas person and my own supplies) saved lots of labour and on my own time; new sewer lines, custom bathroom, water gas and fixture installation. . .I could have bought my own electrical supplies at almost cost, not. I did decide and made my comments insurance . . . Timeline was 6 weeks. He did what was needed and if it was not what I wanted it got fixed right there. I wanted LED counter lights in another kitchen, NO problem . . . No charge, never a no charge , a small addition, generator hook up cost me $100 (a tip) he did the box work. YET, a six week job went to 8 months. I had no care what was the hurry was just get it done, he never shut me out and any changes were done. I never agreed with him suppling what he had no idea on anything I wanted so we agreed, I would purchase kitchen/counter installed, flooring, bathroom fixtures and flooring, he installed. got these a great prices while I shopped and got quotes. The project turned out amazing. We collaborated and agreed, he gave some and I did my own thing to find what I wanted at the right price, a nice project with no nightmares. We sat and had many espressos with home made goods my wife supplied while they worked. Just a happy ending.

The votes are in. Who wants to die from this? myself I’ll keep my family safe for now. I practise the rules. Hopefully we will all get through this. SOME won’t. It has not affected my family yet. Please, this is not a joke It will kill some of us eventually. .

Some protection is better than none, I’m with Beans. i do not work outside my home. When I go out I follow the rules. We have our ‘bubble‘. This was not spread on it’s own. We have to keep it from going forward. my wife and me are in the age range of getting the worst affects, it and it will probably kill us if we get it. I have followed this closely, I lost my job because of it. In April the US had 42,000 deaths, look at them now! A vaccine may not be comfortable for all of us, which is our right, but let’s not put others in jeopardy who want to follow the guidance from our experts. When I need a plumber I call a plumber, not a lawyer.

We had lots of wind, no power out; some damage to my patio coverings , have to replace them.

Cliff, I never knew they existed until a few year back. I had one next to my office in Markham and used them, amazing. I ordered a cable for my generator for a hard hookup for my house online and they came through with an amazing price. Couldn’t buy the wire for that. I’m live closer to the Brampton store so I go there. Congrats on your new toy.

Cliff says “plant it” :)

Great post Brian.

Cliff I had saved 20 of them and gave them to small winery. I have a few left. If you strike out email me and we can arrange something.
