  6. thanks Irish, for me he changed the way we create any typesetting material/advertising . . . I'm happy to have been involved in the transition from metal typesetting to computer produced type. And I've contributed with helping develop/produce type faces we use today. Google Les Usherwood and see what we did about type design and production. I'm now sitting typing this on an iPad. Try that with any PC siting in a corner or basement. BTW you build great planes since you are still flying them, I'm sue Leah will have a lot more to say.

  10. I can't wait for your next painting after you eat a can of those things!
  11. F&A help me out here. When you have time or one of our Y&R's finest come down to Islington and Woodbridge ave. at around 5:45 pm and see the jackasses blow through the intersection and make a u turn around the island instead of waiting their turn to make a left at the light. One night last month I was first And one pulled the stunt on me and I slowed so he had to stop after his illegal U turn he had the nerve to give hand signals. BTW I took note of the vehicles, BMWs, high end Nissans and the last birdbrain a Benz. I drive a Jeep Compass. These people are dagerous. If you want a hint, park on the south side of the bridge and just wait $$ are there for the taking.
  12. I live on top of the hill at Rutherford and 27, I know what you mean Tybo lots of people coming over the hill at 100! Learned my lesson in 73 when I got my last speeding ticket. There is no need to speed. I just saw a situation at 7 and 27, guy stopped at 27 (red) going north and guy going east took his front end off!
  13. the Merc is upstanding in his field, did me twice. You Cliff are the top when it comes to help, you did me once! I think I helped BillM once, hope he caught fish. Any body need any typography help?

  16. I save Bathurst for the occasional Winter commute. Two lanes, no hills and lots of places to stop in case of problems . . .
  17. The best commute is Woodbridge to Newmarket on a clear/crisp fall day up Weston Road, come to think of it I'm doing it Saturday!
  18. I won't tell. Nice fish Bill . . . .
  19. Woody is the place to be "central" close to everything but far enough out for a quick getaway. I also worked at Yonge and Eglinton across from CT for 10+ years and love the 45 min commute to Woody.
  20. Power washer! GBW, you have thing for wildlife!

  22. Problem solved I'm out there October 7th to help my daughter move just in case! * (10-pound) goose, cleaned and trimmed with innards removed * Sea salt * 1 orange, quartered * 1 lemon, quartered * 1 apple, cored and quartered * 2 tablespoons goose fat * 1/2 cup scallions * 2 tablespoons grated ginger * 2 cups blackberries * 1 tablespoon sugar * 1 tablespoon soy sauce * 2 cups Zinfandel * 2 cups chicken stock Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Wash the goose thoroughly inside and out. Dry well with paper towels. Prick the skin with a fork or fine skewer (this helps release the fat during cooking) and generously rub all over with sea salt. Stuff the bird with the cut fruit. Tuck the wings under so they are not exposed. Add 1/2 inch water to the roasting pan and position the goose breast side down in a roasting rack. Place the pan in the oven for 45 minutes. Check the bird while it's roasting to make sure the water doesn't evaporate or the goose fat will burn. After 45 minutes, take the goose out of the oven. Turn it breast side up and prick the skin again. Carefully remove the excess fat by tilting the pan and using a baster. Add another 1/2-inch of water to the pan. Continue to roast for another 2 hours. The goose is cooked when its juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a skewer. If they are at all bloody, roast for a further 15 minutes and check again. To be sure the goose is cooked, insert a thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh. It should read 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Pour out excess fat leaving about 2 tablespoons. Add the scallions, ginger, blackberries, sugar and soy sauce. Saute for 5 to 10 minutes until the blackberries begin to break up and the juices are released. Add Zinfandel and reduce by half then add the chicken stock and reduce by half again. Pass sauce through a sieve and discard the pulp. Serve with the goose.
  23. TJ got lost again? Too much Jiggy?
