How many of us can really cast stones at the guy when it comes to getting behind the wheel after having more to drink than you should have? When I was a young man, drinking and driving was commonplace. Younger people are much more responsible about drinking and driving now than they were 30 years ago.

Yes todays kids are a million times more responsible then my generation was. Throw a box of beer in the back seat of the car and away we go!!!!

Drinking and driving was pretty much an every weekend practice from age 16-21 when I was growing up. My daughter rarely drinks and I've never seen her drunk. My son will bend elbow's to excess but will phone a cab or a none drinking friend....EVERY TIME. Much more responsible then I was at that age. Must have something to do with his mother's parenting skills.

Thx for sharing. Thought it was great. Going to try and hunt down a video of the stand up routine now.

Is this a hypatitical (sp?)question?

 

I sure hope so. A three week old? REALLY

X2.

Pay it, move on and don't change insurance brokers for at least 3 years. Life's too short to sit in court

X2....not the way I ever wanna spend 1 second of my free time.

Yes the countdown is on. I'll be there for the 3 week recreational cod fishery. I can't wait!

Don't forget your camera and please share on here. Have enjoyed all the "newfie" stuff you have posted in the past. And no worries about giving up "secret spots" on the world wide web...lol.

3 weeks in NFLD.

 

S.

Betcha your already doing the countdown too

At the cottage in Bobcaygeon....80 minutes away...fishing pretty much every weekend from May until October.

That sucks my friend. Keep your eyes open and keep putting out the word and something good will come up. Your due for a good break.

Sounds like a good road trip Cliff. Enjoy the fish fry.

Dan, unfortunately I can't see any of the pics. There is a square that says in bold black letters " IMAGE NOT AVAILABLE" with a X on a red octagon.

Same here for your original first posting of pictures. Hope you can reshare them somehow. Would love to see them all.

My local will get the order in 2020 if I'm lucky... But tks!

I know you are probably joking...but... I have dealt with the HH in Bobcaygeon for many things, most recently an outdoor wood burning stove. Called them on a Monday from my home here in Oshawa after finding the item on their website. They had NONE in store...but said they would get it for me. They had it waiting for me in there store, fully assembled, at no extra cost... when I came up the following weekend. Not all stores or people are created equal. If your serious give the caygeon store a call. My experience is they will go that extra mile to help you out.

230k a year is a low wage for CEO running a company that large, if you disagree you can spend 6 years and 300k-400k to get your MBA then you could do it as well.

Was thinking exactly the same thing. My father in-law had a saying when it came to interviewing for a job. He would say "If you pay peanuts you get monkeys and I have never been someone's Monkey" I had to take him at his word that he used this line as I was never at a job interview of his. I can however say with 100% certainty that he was successful and knowing his personality I could hear him saying the words.

IMHO the CEO salary was low for the position. Those type of jobs and the work they require...well... that's just the way it is.

I can't comment on Goodwill as I never go...but I used to frequent the Value Villages in Oshawa and Whitby. It has really changed in the last 5 years. Still some really good deals to be sure but the pricing has really skyrocketed. Yesterday for example Debbe and I where in Value Village because we had a $10 gift voucher that Santa had put in my stocking at Christmas. Debbe ended up browsing through the women clothing while we where in there. Then we where off to Costco. At Costco she saw some jeans she really liked for $15. Grabbed a pair to try on at home. Got home and loved them. She then told me lots of the women jeans in Value Village where $20...and this is all used stuff donated for free. Something wrong with that picture right there.

Sorry to hear this news Beansie. Pets... especially dogs... really are family.

Happy B-day Cliff. I hope Sue spoils you.

 

Besides a good education will make you a lot more $$$$$.

A good education only gives you a better opportunity to make more money. The rest is up to you.

I agree with what you and Bill are saying, however not everybody can do that dance for various reasons. I just find it unfortunate that the developed world in general is throwing the middle class under the bus. And please don't take this as a rah rah union rant because it's not.

The article says the bridge opened Nov 29 2015 and broke apart January 10 2016 . So a total of 42 days in operation. I'm thinking some engineers have some serious explaining to do

i just quit for the first time and made it 4 months started again over the holidays, today is my first day smoke free again .

My brother quit and started up again 3 times before he actually beat it. He hasn't smoked for nearly 25 years now. Keep at it. You will be glad you did.

From a guy who is watching his father fade away with COPD all I can say is well done!!! You have dodged a very very undesirable bullet.

Good job I was going to join a buddy on Cooch today but backed out because I didn't like the forecast or the current ice thickness. Next weekend for sure.

And I know that nervous feeling coming in from a days fishing on iffy ice. I hope to never experience it again. But man I'm still jealous.

Enjoy your fish fry.

Picture #2 and #5 are what it's all about Nick. Picture #4 just made me smile. Glad you all enjoyed the fish fry and thx for sharing

I dont think the blue collar guys have left, they just see the pressure on their local waters, so keep things tight lipped.

 

Myself, I like the off topic stuff. Lots to learn, and I have already learned tons from reading this board.

 

That said, I havent posted a report for ages. Not sure why, I just dont see the need to anymore.

 

Ive met a lot of good people here, and enjoy reading all the posts, and reports. Its quite a diverse group, with a ton of knowledge. I would rather share knowledge, than photos of my ugly mug holding a fish.

 

All that said, there are some killer reports, and I read them all!!

Sorry to hear the news Cliff. I hope the MRI finds the problem and it's easy to fix. In the mean time take care and take it easy. You know how to get ahold of Debbe and I if you need a hand with anything.

Nice fish and great report James.

Love your photo too Beansie. Is that a electric trolling motor on the back? Must not have far to go if it is.

 

 

 

Bottom line

 

 

The NHL needs to release , BEST ,world juniors to play for OUR COUNTRY.

I agree Brian...but you gotta understand there position. And I'm pretty sure everyone of them players signed there contracts knowing that was the deal when they signed on the dotted line.
