Only pokin fun Can't imagine a more spouse friendly pastime. As a matter of fact I usually get gift cards/certificates from the boss to feed my addiction

Posting on the internet for the wife to see you own 6+ fishing rods....there has to be a Darwin award for that

Ordered a burner for my BBQ from an online site on Dec 18th. My Visa was debited Dec 19th. The site promised delivery within 2-5 business days. 2 weeks go by and no burner. I gave them that long being Xmas and all. I sent an email and got a response....sorry for the delay...blah blah blah...but still no burner. Today Debbe takes the info and calls Visa. We will get a full refund from Visa of our money because the law states that merchandise must be received within 15 days of the account being debited. I did not know that and thought I would pass that info on in case anyone on here has been scammed buying stuff online. Wait your 15 days and file a dispute with Visa.

Welcome aboard. And thx for sharing your pictures.

Hope you and Sue have a great time!!!

I'm still waiting for the day where an electric drill on a hand auger really makes any sense and saves any time or energy. Cause when that day comes I will be 1st in line to buy one. Edit to add. Not meaning to Hijack your post Brian. It looks like you did an awesome job on the adaptor. I always enjoy posts where someone shows some of there McGyverism. My frustration with the electric drill option is based solely with the limited number of holes you can drill before your battery is dead. Some days running and gunning for perch/crappie I cut lots of holes and one battery would not last the full day and I don't want the extra weight of taking 2 batteries as I am a walker. If the batteries get to the point where they would last a full day....I'll be a very happy camper.

Awesome Terry. All I got was a lump of coal

Rob Ford. Only because the last time I met him he stole my fav crack pipe and I want it back

Sounds like I'm just as far ahead to buy a new one. Which is what I figured. Truth be told I never gave it any thought before and just figured it was good to go as long as it had never been used. It has been hanging up in the laundry room for 24years Next question. How do I dispose of it?

We have a Fire Extinguisher at home that we got because we have a wood stove. It is rechargeable. I have never had this done but it is time to do so. Can anyone here point me in the right direction to get it recharged and give me a heads up on the cost? Thanks for any help you can offer.

My old man also has some American bills from before confederation I believe. They are hand signed and are for individual states not the united states of america. They have been passed down to him and as far as I know he has never had them appraised. He tried locally once but the local guy said he didn't have a clue and referred my dad to someone in Toronto. If you know my old man driving on a big highway...the 401...is like krptonite to superman so he never pursued it any further.

Couldn't agree more. The fish finder puts way more fish on the ice...and stops you from wasting time on dead water. I curse all the wasted years I was too cheap to spring for one.

The filleting job looks a little rough...what did you use...a butter knive You can't beat fresh perch IMHO. Well done Brian.

My dad....who's in his 70's....did the same and gave them to Debbe and I when our kids where born. A couple of years ago we gave half of them to our daughter when our grandson was born. Our son will get his half when he has a family. I told my daughter to pass them on when she has grandkids. Hopefully by then they might actually be worth something. Right now it's just a fun family tradition.

Don't know the circumstance. But if it is marked as no overnight parking and it was parked in the area the snow removal guys usually pile up the snow...I say to bad so sad....next time read the sign moron. Hell I'd love to be the snow removal guy in that situation. You wouldn't find the car until spring then

Barrie is just far enough away that I will probably never make it in the store....but thx for the update anyway Brian. I'm sure many will appreciate it.

FinS Minnows and Shads work awesome through the ice for perch and crappie. Not sure what species your after Cliff.

We where without power here in Oshawa from 11PM Saturday night until 9PM tonight. Kept the place warm with the woodstove going and went and got takeout sushi...sorry Cliff I know it's one of your fav's....for supper tonight and ate it at the kitchen table with a bottle of white wine and the coleman lantern for lighting. Not your typical Sunday night here in the city Thx for the offer though Cliff.

Love Actually...cause Debbe told me to say so

They stopped being a daily wear boot years ago. But they where still in good shape so I kept them for doing outdoor chores in...like when I'm hauling or splitting firewood or like I already mentioned for throwing on when I shovel the driveway. Seems pretty stupid and wasteful to me to just throw them away. Do you EVER stop and think before you type out one of your useless replies

Why did they only last 4 years I have some comfy sorels that are over 30 years old. Pretty much only wear them when I shovel the driveway now as they are a little heavy. But I have put them through alot of abuse over the years. Maybe it's just me... and I mean no offense by it...but if I had to replace a pair of winter boots after only 4 years I certainly would not be buying another pair.

Very well said and I wholeheartedly agree.

Beat you by a week my friend. Debbe and I had a holiday bakeathon last Saturday. Enjoy the holidays and your goodies

If it's real...that's why they make millions...while we sit here with a coffee and play on the computer
