Looks awesome. Have you tried Portabella mushrooms fried with your onions instead of regular mushrooms? Do it once and if your tastebuds are the same as mine you will never use regular mushrooms again.

That's my beef with steak as well. It's inconsistency. I could care less if I ever ate a steak again for this reason....but Debbe loves steak so we get them. And I don't care where you get it you will get a poor cut every once in a while. When I wanna good steak here in Oshawa I go to Buckinghams and get a Delmonico but I have even had a few of them that didn't measure up, and that really grinds my gears when it's as pricey as it is. No disrespect to Buckinghams cause it's a great place...I just think that's the nature of steak. As to your burgers. I do pretty much the same but I also chop up some fresh mushrooms real small and mix in as well. Nothing beats homemade patties

Thx for sharing. I caught a good sized crappie once and when I went to unhook it I noticed a couple of inches of heavy fishing line sticking out of its butt. Pulled the line and the crappies face buckled in ? Took awhile to figure it out but he had a hook stuck in the roof of his mouth with about a foot of line still attached to it and the line had went through his whole body and out his butt!!!!! I got my hemostats out and pulled the hook out of his mouth and slowing pulled the line out of his mouth. Swam away fine and was a perfectly healthy looking fish....but I imagine it must have been uncomfortable for the poor bugger with that line running through him.

Been on here a long time. I never posted an intro when I joined and to this day I have never posted a picture. Guess I slid in under the radar somehow

I agree with what everyone has said. Let kids be kids and learn about life along the way. However none of us know the whole situation. Perhaps the kids or there customers created traffic flow problems on the road or sidewalk or threw away garbage that they never picked up but the next door neighbour had to deal with it. Eventually that would upset most of us.

Through Fergus Elora used to be awesome for browns. Might still be...I have not fished it for over 10 years, maybe 20. I grew up within walking distance of the river between Fergus and Belwood but moved away in 1982. They didn't stock the Browns until after I moved Used to be areas that allowed live bait but most of it was artificial baits and barbless hooks...not sure about present day. Make sure you know the regs before you go.

That was my 1st thought as well. Once a complaint is made the bylaw officer's hands are tied, and his job is on the line if he doesn't do his job to the letter.

You killed me with this one. Haven't made a single pie since the kids moved out....the youngest 3 years ago. Strawberry Rhubarb has always been my favourite pie and jam for that matter. And nice work on the OFC apple pie. Thx for sharing with us.

Awesome picture. Thx for sharing and good luck with the full on assault next trip

Smitty 55 those babies sound so good. I'm happy you have found a keeper. We don't do anything with tomatoes except eat them fresh so 4 plants is more then enough for the 2 of us with lots to share with friends family and co-workers. And because we only eat them fresh I have ventured in the other direction and opted for med to small size tomatoes rather then larger ones. But it is a trade off. I still have not found a smaller fruiting type that has the flavour I am looking for. There good...still miles better then store bought....just not perfect. We had a neighbour who has passed that really had tomatoes down to a science. He put in 100 plants a year and needed a wheelbarrow when he went out to pick them. One year he had these seeds that he claimed he got from a friend of a friend who was involved in hybridizing tomatoes for some company....can't remember which now. Anyway the tomatoes he got from those plants where huge and I mean huge. He gave me one once that was the size of my plug in kettle in my kitchen. I would guess it weighed 4LBS. It was pretty gnarly looking but it sure was tasty.

G....If you can pick up the pace just a tad...you will be able to kill me in a 100 yard dash Keep at it.... and keep sharing your journey.

Glad to hear Brian. Try to put your feet up and relax for awhile.

Doesn't sound like any fun Lew but I'm glad to hear your doing good.

Brian I don't know how I missed this thread....but I never saw it until today. I have nothing to add that others have not already expressed but I still wanna wish you the best getting through all this. Take care.

Now there's an aha moment your don't want. Sorry to hear the news G. Get through this, learn from it and take care of yourself. Best of luck to you.

Yep and I'm afraid who you vote for won't change a thing.

Your supposed to clean your grill

Contact me on that Shayne. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to save you $250 a year minimum.

My wife is a bank manager and both my kids work for the bank. You are so far out to lunch that it really doesn't even warrant a response. But I will respond. Bank fraud is real and at a "Branch" basis they have no control. PM me if you wanna chat. But stop painting bankers as the bad guys if you really have no clue.

Pretty windy cold and WET here in Oshawa now Brian. And its still coming down. Glad I got my gardening done this morning.

On the upper Bruce there used to be a government program that if you had a minimum of 2 acres,I believe, and you agreed to not develop it in any way they paid your property taxes. We bought a chunk of bush between Johnson's Harbour and Willow creek on the Huron side and we qualified for it, but never filled out the paperwork because we where unsure what we where going to do with the parcel of land. Held onto it for a few years and then sold it when we decided to cottage in the Kawartha's instead. Just thought I'd throw this up here for someone to consider and check into if they are interested.

Did you get to piggy back any smallies Brian? Beats my morning. Weeded by veggie garden and changed the oil in my tiller. Nice shots. Thx for sharing.

thx for the chuckle

Thx for the laugh Cliff. As long as the osprey didn't jump out of a boat onto the muskies back no one will care

Check out the Kawartha's. Lots of small towns...we are in and love Bobcaygeon.....with lots to offer and less of the negatives you are having grief with.
