  1. Can someone copy my Facebook link ? I tried but it doesn't work
  2. Liked ! I live and breathe country , it's the new rock .. Nice pic !
  3. I wish this was fishing related...I've been fishing THREE TIMES all year May 19 , June 17 and Thanks Giving Sunday (regular outings , nothing spectacular) My work schedule had become extreme this past summer 60-70hrs /wk, winding down now..to something normal. It's brought me all over Ontario and parts of Quebec, Niagra, Kingston ,Collingwood, Sault, Wawa, Kap , Timmins, Ottawa, Toronto... etc.. My elevator has a name , Delta Chelsea Muskoka Wildlife Centre Moose Canada's Wonderland , Rama for concerts a few times a month , fiddle/country fests, drag races, plays at Princess Margaret ( WarHorse was awesome) the Falls, Agawa Canyon, Algonquin Pk, Karaoke contests , BBQ's and apple picking and horse grooming...just to name a few. that's enough about work. I did have time for some usual bad luck though.. I started off by breaking a chunk off a Wisdom Tooth, I called all the local surgeons, they said we can take you next week , go to the ER they'll give you pain meds and antibiotics..really? I figured why wait a week when I can to it myself? I got rigged up in my basement bathroom , disincefted all my tools and went at 'er. It HURT !! Success!!! I almost passed out ~! Then a Cat Bite I'm sitting on my deck enjoying a cold beer , this little black & white stray cat strolls up onto my deck and does a figure 8 around my legs, I drop my hand down to pat it , the Monster rolls onto its back and bites me TWICE ! By the second bite I had the Beast swinging off my hand and off the deck into the backyard, never to be seen again.. I rinse and disinfect my wound. I called the SPCA , they told me that if I could trap it they'd come pick it up.. no help from them whatsoever.. wake up the next day with my hand and wrist 2x normal size.. off the ER.. I immediately get an IV drip,and a shot along with the extraction of a CAT TOOTH embedded in my hand. they give me 12 hrs to get the cat or I have to go in and get my shots, all 21 of em + 7 IV drips..If i didn't comply , they were calling a JP to quarantine me for 10 days.. Never found the Feline and went for my shots...PEP & Rabies + IV drips.. turns out I tested positive for " Bartonella Henselae" Cat Scratch Fever http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartonella_henselae.. all better now. If you recall, last summer, I hooked up with a brother I hadn't seen in about 33 years, I did the same this summer , I had the opportunity to spend a few days with him in Hamilton before he flew back home to BC.. where he passed away the same day.. Had to arrange a cross country cremation and funeral here at home, all while having to have a surgery myself.. I broke out in hives for 5 days .. but managed. all is well now.. ......enough with the bad luck.. I spent the little time I had to myself on family and the " little things" I went to an awesome BBQ with TJ and friends :clapping: In September, my wife and I ended up going to an awesome party/concert at Gramp's Place near Temagami, I actually helped organize a bus , a bus full of very happy party goers With fall arriving , I decided to re-model my "Man Cave" I have,Paint, Trim and flooring left to install. I also picked up some " Man Cave " decor at a recent auction..Butter Boxes , Decoys , Signage, Rods and Reels a level and a few crates.. Im looking forward to some time off and maybe some fishing ..or at least more OFC and WFN in the Man Cave Randy
  4. I've seen 5 transmissions literally explode on new Tahoes while towing in including an OPP vehicle , latest one happened yesterday to my buddy with his 2012 Tahoe , sheared off his exhaust and brake/fuel lines ,dented his floor pan all while his driveshaft was digging into the pavement ..
  5. Jig & Minnow / Dew Worm / Leech Doesn't matter what's in the box , I never have the right lure. I don't know if I have a favorite ? I have a "go-to" or "confidence" bait / lure that I use for different species .. from there .. I let the fish tell me what they want . Walleye : Wally Diver , X-Rap, Rubbers, and LIVE BAIT . Pike: "go-to" Williams Wabbler #50&60.. Body Baits and Sponnerbaits. Bass : accidental Trout : occasional, no particulars. Muskie: 1/2 of a Hockey Stick . Randy
  6. They're all in great shape (except for the 30 yr old 40" Pike ) ... A good cleaning is all they need I think ... Don't wanna spend any $$ on this .. Man Cave renovation is already costing enough
  7. Water bleach and a scrubber ? Rinse with clean water , let dry and Pledge the crap out of it ?
  8. Every time I'm in Barrie ( quite often lately) I pop in to pick up a few things .. I always deal with a guy ... never met the lady , unless the guy is a lady .
  9. I have a fair collection of skin mounts . Muskie , Northern , Smallies , Chinny , Rainbow , Speck some game heads and some birds ... I'm redoing my Man Cave top to bottom , and I smoke .. My fish are yellowed and discolored ... Any tips on how to clean them up without damaging them more than they already are ? Thanks Randy
  10. First ever televised suicide attempt , glad he didn't succeed , that was pretty cool ... Excellent protocol and safety measures , a whole lot better than the Wellenda/Niagara crossing .... Contrats to Felix Baumgartner !
  11. Share it anywhere , to me it's a truth of sorts ..everyone deserves to hear it ... Bruce and Melissa are very good folk ... Dawson , the narrator is an amazing kid ..
  12. I agree it's not an original idea... but I find it to be better than the first ...
  13. I never bought it ... !!!! 5K gets it ! message for details ...
  14. Pick your own ... Have a few beers while doing it * ask neighbors before pillaging their lawns and gardens .
  15. Walleye too .. I think it may have to do with the water temps ... ( false spawn) type of thing ? ...
