Thank you Richard. Look after yourself and have a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year.

To you and Sue, the best Christmas wishes from Jeanne and myself.

You and Diane holding hands by the fire would make a beautiful Christmas picture, Kelvin. Stay comfortable, healthy and be well.

You guys are tough. Cliff, about the pie, your Mom is certainly smiling down on you.

Merry Christmas to you Brian and gang. Hope you all have a happy and healthy one. There's nothing wrong with making it last all year either.

Relationships are all give and take. Get her a new iron and ironing board.

Thanks for the tips. AHHHH go get the second, you only live once.

Thanks guys. Have you used yours much, Stoty?

Future Shop's boxing day flyer has the Go Pro at $189., that's $160 off the regular price. That's the in store price, online it's $30-$40 more. That's still a good price. For those of you who are using that camera, what are the good options/accessories needed with that cam? Positives/negatives please? Thanks.

It could be, Rob, but winter die offs are a fairly common occurrence.

Thanks, nice boat Henry. Would have looked a little more macho with three red float suits.

This is what's known as a "bump" because I think this is an important enough piece of information that everyone planning to fish the Simcoe area after December 31st. should read and understand it. This was given to us for release by Wil Wegman and if there's anyone out there who knows what's happening, it's Wil Wegman.

It only was made public late this morning.

You train someone to do a good job and this is how he pays me back. That does it...the fat dude in the red suit is on modQ. Thanks Mike that was ummm heart warming.

I've posted this here to give everyone a chance to read and understand it. It'll go up to the news section after sufficient time has passed. Thanks

Province Takes Steps To Control Spread Of Fish Disease December 22, 2011 McGuinty Government Protects Lake Simcoe Waters The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources is working to address a fish virus known as Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS). The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed that VHS has been detected in several species of fish from Lake Simcoe. MNR is establishing a new management zone around the Lake Simcoe watershed to address the potential spread of VHS to other inland waters and the spread of invasive species to Lake Simcoe. As a result, commercial bait operators will be prohibited from moving commercial baitfish into or out of the new Lake Simcoe Management Zone beginning January 1st 2012. Anglers are asked to buy baitfish when they arrive to fish in the Lake Simcoe area and not take baitfish out of the area. The geographic range of this virus in Ontario waters has expanded recently. The virus was first detected in Lake Ontario in 2005. To determine its range, the CFIA has been monitoring Ontario and Quebec waters since 2007. VHS is a virus that can weaken and kill fish. Not all fish carrying the VHS virus show signs of disease. As with any dead or dying fish or wildlife, pets should not be allowed to eat or come into contact with them. Fish carrying the VHS virus pose no risk to human health. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources is committed to discussing long-term strategies to maintain a healthy fishery and bait industry with input from key stakeholders and the public. QUICK FACTS In response to the initial discovery of VHS in Ontario, the government set up the VHS Management Zone. The new Lake Simcoe Management Zone (pdf) is separate from the VHS Management Zone. The ministry, in partnership with the CFIA, monitors VHS in Ontario by sampling high risk lakes, studying fish die-offs, and conducting random sampling across the province.

Got a picture of the minivan?

Oh Lew... that's far too simple. It's a conversation ender.

In two years? I wouldn't start worrying about it just yet.

Thanks Ben, we've certainly seen Aadil's success out there on Quinte.

Yes Joe I had recognized the Queen streetcar. I hung around the beaches for a long time and at one time lived at 2 Victoria Park...near the waterworks.

Speaking of "A Christmas Story", the film was shot in Cleveland, Toronto, Lindsay and St Catharines. The Ontario portions were at the Central Senior Public School in Lindsay, Cherry Street bridge in Toronto, some parts of St Catharines including the Victoria School in St Catharines.

Might be one of these men, Meely. http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/001042-110.01-e.php?PHPSESSID=j3trek064qa6mlvt5mc40n45k0&q1=Haley&q2=George&q3=&interval=20

My condolences on your dearly departed, Chuck.

Look at the Quebec regs. Congrats to you and your buds, Larry.
