I have extended family in Rome and they got snow last week, I got an email that 60 km east of Rome where I was born they got two feet, a cold winter was +4 when I was there. The last time they had a decent snow fall was in 1956, my dad built a snowman for us and then we came here a few years later, seen it very year since! I started my snow blower in October, bought a NEW shovel and there they sit! Not an once of gas used. There is always next year.

My mailman drives a van, on may way to the communal mailboxes I followed him up the street (his back doors are open) goes around the corner and all the packages come tumbling out I stop and wait has he runs back to pick them up!

Moose, I've been involved with Ontario Tourism for the last 17 years, your documentation on what Ontario has to offer for our visitors is incredible, from what I've read in your reports you are truly an amazing outdoors man. I'm sure in your photography/writings you have inspired many. And will continue to do so in the future. BTW from where I sit your writing is excellent to say the least. You sir have many skills from helping people, photography and outdoor skills which I'm sure you will pass along. For most us what you have accomplished will only be a dream, but thanks to you it surely comes to life when you check in. When is the book coming out? Thanks A.

Drifter ordered steak! And got free chicken!

MMMMMMMMMMMM Rabbit with roasted potatoes/white wine . . .

FUN AND GAMES ON THE SHORE Water Babies: Splish Splash: Dig a hole in the sand. Line with plastic shower curtain. Fill with water for baby’s private splashing pool or ‘fish pond’ fun. My question is the "fish pond" is this legal?

Both of you guys are ace in my books. I've used you both, not in the Biblical sense.

Sorry Percher, for the miss spell, I love my iPad but it has a mind its owen with spell check. Roy will correct me soon!

You ARE the man! Per cheer. A PDF print out is a good idea Beanzi, but only the pages you need. I don't understand why if you get it with the vehicle why not pass it on . . . I just sold my 95 Jeep and all service records for the last 12 years plus manual was include! I'd take Percher's offer.

I paid Paul, it's not me.

Amazing Irish, you have an amazing girl to contend with. My youngest (21) went through a nasty test last wednesday to see what it may be and can be removed or treated . . . We are on pins and needles until they see the results and options. Jen is amazing in her progress.

Thanks Irish as CT may just 'donate' it for a small fee, I may just put it on a shelf for later/ kids.

I know where there is one off 9th line Oro in 46 feet of water and it has a rope the noobie didn't know what the rope was used for

Starting Monday I have to park outside. I'm looking at a Remote car starter for the winter, I can get one really cheap/with saved card money plus sale price at CT. Any opinions problems/installation and draw backs would be appreciated.

Too tall to be Roy! Or that's a really small fish.

Good catch! As son as my grandchild is old enough I'm back out! You should invest in a food saver and vacuum pack them, they will last a lot longer . . . Just saying

[quote name='Rattletrap2' date='19 January 2012 - 07:22 PM' timestamp='1327018973' Oh, and I've been married for 31 wonderful years to a great woman and raised 3 Daughters. Congrats Rattle. I've raised 4. Took them out when I had my hut on Simcoe, all they wanted to do was ride the machine and eat. It wasn't that cold, one actually dropped her leg in an outside hole, but NEVER AGAIN, we like the mall with mom! .

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

many years ago I had a great friend for a neighbour five house or so away (still a good friend). On Saturdays and Sundays I heard saws and hammers, once this thing broke over the fences I went over, slowly walked up behind him (him on a ladder) "Sir, do you have permit for this" he froze and looked back . . . Man those Greeks can rattle off fine words I didn't understand. Karma comes back, I was in my yard burning scrap wood in steel pail, I turned around and there stood a man in a fireman's uniform. The first thiing that came to mind "are you selling tickets to the ball" NO SIR, it's about the smoke/smell, what smoke it's wood burning. . . I wasn't going to win this one at least for now. I was also pround owner of a large outdoor brick BBQ, Asked the fine man that next time I would burn my wood in that and have some meat nearby, We just laughed it off, as he had to respond to the call and then I questioned the $$$ another good laugh!

I never touch the "hard stuff" but I do collect it. My oldest is a 64 Crown Royal and a Kings Ransom that was 12 years old when my daughter was born and that was in 77. Now that's warm. Be careful out there, I was the same, not worth your life. Memories of ninth line.

Pour "something" over ice cubes and YOU will be cured! If you fall what you'll hit all be warm and dry!

I have a Windsor Hotel listed in my Ontario Accommodation Guide, if they are still around. 507 Main Street POwassan ON 705.724.2029. There is also a B&B Satis House B&B 258 ENglish Line 705.724.2187

Welcome To Canada The guy shooting this video is deer hunting from his tree stand, when an adult-aged black bear moseys into the clearing directly below his tree. What the bear does when it looks up the tree--after over two minutes-- and sees the hunter may surprise you. I personally think it’s an "oh crap!" moment, but this guy has got to be one cool customer ... either that, or he had a video camera in one hand and a .44 magnum in the other! The moral of this story must be ... "if confronted by an adult-aged black bear, just be calm and act cool ... then merely ask the bear a question." Turn your audio up so you can hear this; you just won't believe it unless you hear it for yourself! http://www.wimp.com/curiousbear/
