Another newfie with a firearm...heaven help us Wish Jacob a Happy Birthday for me.

I'll be there in 20 minutes Simon. Don't butter the bun on me though. It would make it too heavy for my tummy Similar story Bruce. Old deli right across from my bank. You know back in the day when you had to go to the bank with your pay cheque to get money The best Reuben sandwiches ever with a ton of sauerkraut and pickles on the side. I never did any banking EVER without a deli stop.

I got one from Photoz real cheap when he got me into carping. If I had not gotten a deal I would have made my own. I figure you could build one for free no problem. A bit of scrap lumber some nails and screws.

Thx all. Just wanted to confirm. Having no cell phone I got Debbe to text them a short message and sometimes those short text messages get screwed up. I can't believe we got that much more snow here. Too bad. I was really looking forward to burning half a tank of gas to rush up there after work and then hauling my behind up onto a slippery roof to shovel off the snow No need for a drive by Cliff. But thx for the offer.

We got dumped on real good in Oshawa last night, so I was planning to head up to Bobcaygeon to clear the snow off my roof up there. I sent a short message to my tennants and they responded saying they had no snow last night and said there was no need for me to go up. Can anybody...Big Cliff...Beansie...anybody on here verify if you did get any snow or not last night in the Bobcaygeon area. Thx for any replies.

Thx for sharing. Loved it.

Construction zones are no fun for anyone. If you think she doesn't like the idea now wait until you have kids and your wife is stuck at home on maternity leave with a sick toddler and a bathroom all tore up or the inlaws show up for a weekend and your kitchen is not quite finished...been there done that. As mentioned above buy a brand new home with an unfinished basement. Todays codes ensure a good standard all around on everything so the house will be sound, and you can putter in the basement without getting in anyone's way. If this is going to be your home and not a flip house any work you do now will be old and tired before you go to sell and you can go reno crazy then. The kids will be out of your hair and you will have more $$$ to play with and way more time. I'm there right now, 26 year old home getting tired and needs some sprucing up. Damned if I have the energy or ambition to do it though

In Pidgeon and Sturgeon near Bobcaygeon anyway the algae has been real bad the last 2 summers. By mid summer I will not go swimming at the public beach because it is so gross. If swimming is something that is real important to you I would not be looking at either of these lakes. I can't comment on the rest of the Kawartha's as I have no firsthand knowledge of the algae concerns/problems there.

Not on the water either....but we have 3 free public launches that are close enough that I can be putting away in my boat less then 10 minutes after I walk out my front door.

That's why I like the Kawartha's Wayne. Our little place in Bobcaygeon is on town sewer and water with a 70 X 180 lot. We just got our 2014 taxes....$1208 for the whole year.

Nice shots Cliff. Where did the white tail one go? It was my favourite

Class all the way Brian. I'm sure they won't sit on the table long.

I hear you about the electric baseboards. Our 640 square foot one floor cottage is baseboard only....$642.06 for the last 30 days Mind you I know it isn't very well insulated either.

You and I are cut from the same cloth Bruce. Sibbald Point PP used to be my favorite winter perching spot. Have been twice in all the years since they started charging for parking. Same goes for IBP although I never went there as much because it is a farther trek. Yes I can afford the pittance they charge. I'm just pig headed enough not to spend it. Lotsa other spots to go wet a line.

Respectfully I disagree Wayne. I'm happy to hear about a sunny day fishing down south or whatever other adventures Cliff and Sue might get into. I however don't wanna see any pics of Cliff in a Speedo

Outdoor cats whether feral or pets will cause the same problems. They all hunt and kill and they all whizz and crap in your yard. It isn't a problem when the number of cats is small..but IMHO that still doesn't make it right. Your pets are your responsibility. I don't know anyone who lets there kids loose to let them kill wildlife or crap in someone else's yard. Not sure why some feel it is OK for there pets to do that A topic that gets under my skin. My apologies to the OP for hijacking his thread.

I understand that Wayne...but thankfully we have never had an issue from critters chewing things up or being where they shouldn't be. Maybe it is because we have winter tennants so someone is always there.However we do have a small opening to the crawl space under the cottage that the critters can always get in. I can't get to it from under the cottage...to tight a fit for me...and I would have to rip the porch apart to access from outside. So we used to find peanut shells under the cottage. Now we have chipmunk and bird carcasses left by those darling cats. And it is sand under there as well...which means to them it is a big old litter box. Yeah I just love people's outdoor cats

Enjoying the updates Cliff. Keep them coming

Agree 100%. We have a neighbor in Bobcaygeon who started feeding the ferrel cats 2 summers ago. One of my wives favorite pastimes is reading and she could sit in the yard for hours in her Muskoka chair armed with peanuts to feed the dozens of chipmunks and bluejays. Two summers of the neighbor feeding the cats and the chipmunks are completely wiped out...we literally only seen one all last summer...when before we used to see as many as 4-5 at a time. And to add insult to injury most weekends when we get to the cottage Friday night we will have to chase a bunch of those cats off our porch when we get up there I have nothing against cats...we have a house cat and she is a great pet and companion. I just don't understand people who think it's okay to let there cats out. To me it is one of the most despicable disrespectful things you can do to your neighbors or your neighborhood. I have seen a favorite fun pastime of Debbe's completely wiped out by outdoor cats. Very upsetting and sad.

It really would not effect me much...I us a Visa card maybe once or twice a year. But for others the inconvenience of not having a card would be far greater. It can take as long as 4 weeks to be issued a new Visa....trust me I know.....and a month is a very long time if you rely on your card for daily business. That is why the 2 card system is a good idea for many.

Funny you should mention that Ron as that is exactly what we do....but I used the wrong Visa If things would have turned bad I'm pretty sure I'd be moving my personal effects into the dog house for a very very long time

A young lad was in his truck at Maple Leaf Park last Sunday when I walked off the lake. Had a good chat and then he checked through my buckets. Always happy to have them boys around.

Agreed. But Visa didn't find anything suspicious in any of there other transactions with other customers. Nor did my wife when she did a search from her end at the bank. It seems like an honest mistake and I'm pretty certain we will get our burner. It's just nice to know that the bank AND Visa both found nothing shady about this company. Made our day.

Joey our only concern was that a despicable company had our Visa info. Visa informed Debbe that there investigation showed that it was a reputable company and not to worry about fraud. They told her that they did not want us to call if we got the burner because once the dispute investigation process has been started they really don't care or have the time to monitor if we get the burner or not. The focus then is on the backs of the company to prove our agreement was honored...as Visa has a 15 day "law' to provide goods once the customer has been debited. Neither of us really care about the burner or the $$$...we are just happy that some shyster doesn't have our Visa info.

Debbe told me Visa was taking over. If we get the burner in the mean time they do NOT want us to let them know. It is up to the BBQ burner company to prove to Visa that we received the burner. Once that happens they will debit our account. The company has 4-6 weeks to follow through...but Visa has promised a refund of our money in 5 business days.
