Your action of posting it here might bring about some positive changes for whoever views it that may not have seen it otherwise. Good on you for that Now after I finish my Burger and Sweet Chili Heat Doritos for lunch I WILL restart my diet. But wait... it's the long weekend. I'll have to restart on Tuesday..Yeah Tuesday that's it

Congrats. Enjoy your new slice of Heaven

Thx for sharing that Ryan. If it helps just one of us get off our butts and take better care of ourselves, then you and Dave have done a great thing NOTHING is more important then your health.

A big thank you Terry for helping out And you too Brian I hope people enjoy it.

I have neither so I can offer no help. Actually the main reason I have neither...other then I'm cheap ...is I just can't decide which way to go myself.

Beauty Dan Don't forget your camera.

Well I can see it didn't work. And I have no clue how to get the video on here.

We have a swampy area behind our cottage...Lotsa turtles both painted and snappers and tons of frogs. One frog is huge....way bigger then all the rest around. Our neighbor has named him King. King doesn't like getting picked up and he will become very vocal when he is handled. I have caught tons of frogs in my life but I have never heard one anywhere near as loud as this guy. The first time my neighbor caught him I thought there was an angry cat in the yard somewhere. You could probably hear him from a football field distance away. Anyway my daughter took this video with her phone when they where up earlier this year. That's my wife Debbe with King. My neighbor calls her the frog whisperer because she is always hunting down frogs when our grandson Lucas is up for a visit. I hope the video works and you folks get a kick out of our King. Edit...A big thx to Brian & Terry for loading the video for me. Terry has posted it further down in this thread.

Just got up and haven't had my breakfast yet. Your an evil evil man That looks awesome Simon.

Happy Day Maureen. Go out and enjoy it :thumbsup_anim:

I have had mink/weasel take fish from me while I'm shore fishing and they are less then 3 feet away. If I had not been looking in that direction and seen the movement he would have got away scott free because he never made a sound. BTW it was a 10 inch perch and I was having a real good day so I just let him have it. Met up with him...I'm assuming the same one again...3 more times that fall and he came up to me and took fish everytime.

X2...I have seen it happen. Turtles are slower and more methodical, and I highly doubt that the fish left behind would have been banged up that much.

Thx Bruce. I was waiting until the tops had all died down I'll try to remember your advise for next year. I'll get them harvested next week sometime and save the best ones for planting this fall for next years crop.

It all looks good Bruce . You definitely have a green thumb BTW I just pulled up the first garlic bulb from the garlic you gave me last fall to grow. I used it along with some of my fresh basil and fresh tomatoes and we made an awesome Bruschetta Since you have it all figured out...when and how do you suggest I harvest/store my garlic crop?

My family of 4 grew up going to this park. The hiking trail's are everywhere in the park..our main attraction... and it hooks up to the Bruce trail with lots of beautiful shore line hiking along GBay. I think Cypress is still a no motor lake..so a yak would be perfect. A couple of Sandy beaches in the park but Dorcas Bay and Singing Sands beach is right across the highway....now that is a huge mother of a Sandy beach and you can wade out forever before it gets deep so it's good for the kids. A side trip or 2 into Tobermory...10 minute drive... for supplies and to check out the Harbor is fun too. My folks had a cottage up there on the Lake Huron side of the Bruce on Larry's Lake...it had loads of Smallies and small pike so I never even fished in Cypress...but I know it had bass and walleye and it sure isn't fished hard. A few nice spec creeks up that way too...which I fished everytime I went and always had a brookie breakfast as long as the season was open. Do a more advanced search of the area if the park sounds good to you, there lots of stuff to do up there. The upper Bruce is a real gem and it really doesn't get the crowds that alot of other areas of Ontario get. http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/pn-np/on/bruce/activ/activ2/activ2a.aspx

Happy Birthday Roy After your 10 hours try to relax and enjoy the rest of the day.

A 15 year loan for a fishing toy :dunno: I couldn't sleep at night.

I hate it when that happens

I'll give you $50 for it when you have it up for sale in the classified section at the end of the season Joking aside...sweet looking reel.

Sooooooo jealous Emil !!!!!! My next serious perch fishing will not be until the end of September on Simcoe. BTW I still owe you a trip to my fall spot . Especially after our missed chance to hook up last fall. Enjoy the fish fry's :thumbsup_anim:

Lindsay Crappie Tire has my name all over it this weekend. I'm gonna check out the kayak for $120 off too.

They talk funny

Looks like you had a great day Enjoy the fish fry's

The room started at 28 and was cooled down to 20 by the time I checked it 2 hours later...not really sure how long it actually took. My point was the main cottage was still much warmer and I wanted solutions to address that issue. I'm thankful for any helpful suggestions I can get whether they are from A/C professionals or from some homegrown McGyver experiments

The main room has a cathedral ceiling with a big fan at the peak of the roof. I was already going to experiment with running it in reverse next weekend to help draw the cold air off the floor. I only installed the A/C yesterday and ran it for 3 hours just to make sure everything was OK. I have not really gave it a good workout yet. The bedroom being so small it was cooled down to 20 after about 2 hours...mean while the main room was still 24-26 My concern is the thermostat on the A/C will shut off the unit before the main room has cooled enough. So I was looking at ways to get the cold air out of the bedroom quicker, which is why I was thinking about wall vents up high to move the hot air in faster or the cold air out faster. Just as a side bar. This has never been an issue before this year. Last fall I had 3 big trees taken down resulting in a lot more sunlight beating down on the cottage roof and the big windows in the afternoon. The tree removal was necessary. Two where dyeing and the third was a leaner that hung over the cottage and always concerned me when it got real windy. But boy has it ever warmed up the cottage. Take it from me...if you have some good shade trees around your home or cottage...don't remove them unless you have to
