Beans check into Durham college here in Oshawa. I don't know about what your asking...but I do know a few people who go there for regular dental checkups/teeth cleaning etc. Good practice for the students. Worth checking into.

Just glad the circus...I mean election is over....and that's about as political as I get.

Glad your getting out Bruce....and getting some for the table. My 2 shore fishing trips this fall have both resulted in Skunks I don't think I've been skunked on 2 consecutive perch trips EVER. Had Chicken Thighs from No Frills for supper again tonight

We always grab corn from the little wagon across from the school in Ida on our way past to the cottage on friday nights. Fair price and the corn is always good. And we always round up our money in their favour. It will be a sad day if we ever drive by and the little wagon is gone.

Congrats to you both Lew. 50 years and you still speak of your blushing bride with the highest of regard. You are both blessed and I'm sure the next 50 will be just as good or better.

LOL X2. As I wipe tears from my eyes. Thx for that. And perhaps we should leave this discussion at that. Onward and upward....

Your wife doesn't like the smell of wood? Bummer And also inconceivable

LOL. Funny because I'm a printer and ALL my work cloths smell like my printing environment. Funny what we get used to and call "normal"

LOL. Debbe has an AWESOME sense of smell. If it was a problem my UA would have been turfed or washed millenniums ago...trust me on that. The fact that it hangs on a coat tree in the bedroom for months on end without being washed or thrown out is all the proof I need that unpleasant odour is NOT a problem. Merino wool gets a HUGE nod from peeps I respect...like Sinker....but since I have not gave it a go myself I can't truthfully evaluate. BUT....when I bought my UA merino was MUCH more $$$$...like 3X's the cost... so I went with UA...cause I'm close to my dollars

I have under armour as a base layer. Wear it pretty much every weekend all fall and winter. Bring it home and hang it up to dry then wear it again the next weekend and repeat and repeat. Doesn't get washed for months. NEVER had an issue with odour. But to the OP's question. Love this stuff Mike and wouldn't do without it. However I can't help with sizing or which version I have. It's probably 10 years old and the writing inside has long been unreadable. However the version I have has the longer cuffs that pull over the back of your hands and has a thumb hole for your thumb. Really like this feature.

They will become your best friends if you feed them Brian. I had one in Caygeon that I fed small bluegills to while I was fishing for them. I had a small gill slip out of my hands once and it hit a rock on the way down and floated away dead on the top of the water. A Heron flew over and grabbed it about 10 feet away from me and that was the beginning of a 3-4 summer friendship.I would go to my shore spot and as soon as it saw me it would come over and stand right beside me...I could have patted it. He/she never showed up this year....so I spent the whole summer looking for my fishing buddy. Sure was fun having a feathered friend to fish with.

A buddy does well on Stony every fall at this time in 50 plus FOW. Vertical jigging an ice fishing jigging rapala....tipped with a chunk of worm for meat. If I was out after eyes I'd be looking deep.

I just get asked if I'm gonna be home for supper or not.

Every summer we used to go to a lodge near North Bay before we bought our cottage in Bobcaygeon. About our third summer I was informed that there is a good topwater walleye bite after dark in a weedy area of 8-12 FOW. I never tried it as I have never enjoyed night fishing...but my brother always did well there when he gave it a go. Give her a go GBW...what are you out?

Me too. And I'm still looking for some type of medication to help with that. 12 months of pulling can't be good for you

Sounds like a good man Bruce. You honour him with this. Enjoy your "up spirits" and memories and sorry for your loss.

If you are referring to the white grubs in perch...in 30 plus years I have never seen a single one in any Kawartha Gills I have ever caught. However some do have these little specs that look like little flecks of black pepper.

I have never been a big fan of walleye. I find the flesh very bland. That's why I eat gills all summer long in the Kawartha's and never even target eyes anymore.

Everyone has there own taste buds to decide with...but for me...bluegills hands down over crappies. The flesh is much firmer and I like the taste better. Perch are still #1 for me though.

Give the electric an honest try Simon. It took me a couple of good feeds of perch to practice on before I had it down. But now I'm like Mike. For me it is quicker, much less messier and does a better job then my old manual rapala. I will never go back to a manual knife for filleting. Added bonus is you never have to sharpen the blade

Depends on how many you wanna clean. Personally I don't like the bigger ones. I find the chunks too thick and they don't fry up as nice unless you cut them up to make them smaller. If I had my choice and was getting enough fish to be selective I would keep only 9-10 inchers. Keep in mind this opinion is coming from a guy who keeps 7-8 inch bluegills all summer long for fish fries.

On holidays in Bobcaygeon. Got up early and went fishing. Not sure when I came off the water but I needed something for my boat...can't remember what... so I popped into Buckeye Marine. When I walked in there was NO ONE within sight in the whole place. Generally always someone out on the floor or someone at the service desk. Heard some talking and popped my head into one of the sales offices. EVERYONE was in the sales office eyes glued to the TV watching it all unfold. I just heard on the weekend that there are still over 1,000 officially unidentified victims from that day. A sad day all around.

Right there are the only 2 things that mattered Cliff. Sorry about the rest of the crap. But thx for the heads up on the 1-800-GOT-JUNK scammers.

Was that your drone flying around after 8:30 but before 9:30.?We saw the blue and red lights on it as we where walking up to check things out...but just before we got up to the street we stopped seeing it.
