You gotta love that dry heat. 90 is indeed very tolerable down there. My warmest day was 112 in Laughlin and I wasn't even sweating. I chuckle in the summer everytime the news up here says tomorrow's high will be 75 but the humid x will make it feel like 90. I'd take the dry Arizona 90 over the humid southern ontario 75 anyday. And the way things cool down in the evening...man I love that too. Retirement is just around the corner for us, so Debbe and I are starting to look into snow bird options ourselves. If you got the time to PM me some of the details about your area it would be most appreciated. Enjoy your season in the sun

I haven't been since I was a kid...but St Jacob's was always a nice place. Lotsa interesting things to buy and people to meet. Knowing your interests I can only assume you felt right at home there and probably looked forward to it every weekend. Sounds like a dream job to me. Take care of yourself in the off season and next St Jacob's "season" will be here before you know it.

I could go lots of different ways with that one. But I'll just leave it alone

Sounds like the planets and the universe aligned for your buddy and everything fell into place perfectly. Congrats to him on a job well done.

Yep. What the man said. You broke the law. You got busted. Suck it up buttercup.

Entertaining as always Snag. Nothing better then a few it's with your mees.

Thx for the post. I found it very interesting. Trapping I'm sure is something that is in serious decline as far as the younger generation taking up the trade. Do you eat any of those critters? The reason I ask. In 80 I was a JR in Kiosk...Algonquin Park. We had a trapper visit out camp and give us a little presentation about his craft. He was asked if he ate any of the animals he trapped. He said with a sly little grin to a group of 17-19 year old guys that eating beaver was his favourite. We all laughed like hell and all the standard comments where trotted out. But once all the joking settled down we found out that he was indeed serious. He was an entertaining gentleman who clearly had a passion for trapping. Nice to see others are still enjoying an honest outdoorsy trade. Good on you. I'd love to see more pics of your passtime.

Quality time with your Bro...well done!!! My bro is a busy man so we don't wet a line together very much...but both of us look forward to it when we get the chance. Great report and pic's....thx for sharin.

Guess I'm too dumb to have a grasp on reality. I don't feel screwed at all. Maybe that's a good thing

Black squirrels in our attic 3 years ago...don't know how many...just heard them skampering around UP THERE. The little buggers took ALL the pink blown in insulation and piled it up in one corner of the attic above my daughters bedroom...making a nest I suppose?The rest of the attic was void of insulation. I took a radio up there with and extension cord and left it in there with the volume turned up high for 2-3 weeks. Haven't seen them since. Guess they didn't like my radio station

Your killing me too Bruce!!!! Being down the road a little bit from me I know you get a 2 week jump start on me in the spring...give or take...and a 2 week extension in the fall as well. BTW just finished your salsa last night. And my son said to me yesterday. "Your buddy sure packed the dills in this jar...it's work to get one out!" Side bar....everything goes with breasts...everything

Dawg what varieties of lettuce and onions do you grow? More specifically are they day neutral specific to your region? I have a big veggie patch and studied it quite a bit when I first got into it....over 20 years ago. Some varieties that do well up here don't do well down there...and vice a versa...because they are breed specifically to do well in particular regions according to temperatures of course...but also day length. Most local nurseries don't have a clue about such things and if you don't either you could be getting the "wrong" seeds/seedlings. One of my favourite things in the world is tilling my garden for the first time in the spring. The smell of the fresh earth and the sounds of the robins and other birds chirping and flapping around my hedge on a beautiful spring day. I'd love to be able to putter around out there all year. I envy you for that. BTW did my final tilling Oct 14th to put my garden to bed for the winter. Thx for the post...but your killing me

My deer experience was only fatal to the deer and my 1986 VW GOLF. So I can make jokes about it. Your friends experience is just awful.I can't imagine being involved in that. I wish the family all the best at putting it in the past.

LOL... and I do mean LOL.

LOL :clapping: The one I hit on an ice fishing trip up to Pefferlaw never had insurance either :wallbash:

Sad...but true. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Taxes are a necessary evil. Does anyone REALLY think the government is just taking the money to screw people?..REALLY? I'm not trying to start a pissing match. Just saying it's necessary and anybody who is an adult Canadian should have realized a long time ago that this is the way things are in Canada. Suck it up or move.

Yep. I 2nd that. Accident do happen though... I suppose.

The skis look awesome.Anything to make the dragging in the winter easier. Looking forward to a report when you give them a test run on the lake this winter.

Your timing must be off...or your presentation. Cause steelies truly are braindead fish. Well probably not any dummer then any other fish...but I have caught lots over the years..so I'm telling you they can't be that smart Keep at it, you will succeed.

Been too busy perching to shave Tony. I was gonna go shirtless for the picture....but... decided against it

Always room for you in my boat Shayne...but I know it's hard for you to leave the birds alone this time of year.

I was waiting to see if you where gonna respond to this Bruce. Without counting your fish my estimate was that you guys had 60. I guess I was pretty close Like I told you guys it was a sub par day in there....hopefully next time you get to see it's true colours. With those big schools of shiners that we saw moving in, things should pick up in November.

The pleasure was all mine Robert. We had a great day. Nothing better for me then sharing a nice fall day perching with other fishermen who enjoy it as much as I do. Make sure you tell your old man to take it easy in the next little while,cause I'm looking forward to getting down your way with you boys.

Yeah I enjoyed it Bruce. I'm glad you guys made it up and I'm happy you took a few home for a good fish fry. The 11 I kept are scheduled for a supper appearance as soon as I get off OFC and start cooking BTW thanx again for the jar of pickles AND the jar of salsa. I tried one dill it was great...and the salsa is almost half gone...you did an outstanding job on that. You and Robert are welcome in my boat anytime. I'll return the jars this winter if I get down for smelts.

I have never owned a pin...and prolly never will. But my whisker has never let me down.
