Old Ironmaker

I don't care what the guide says DO NOT EAT ANYTHING FROM THE BAY. Research Randle Reef.

Great chose Kalvin, kudos on the GMC, great rides. I bought my Silverado at John Bear on Upper James, probably you as well. Poor service, I have to warn you. 6 big screens, WIFI and 5 service reps and 1.5 hours for an oil change COME ON MAN!!! 20 or more bucks less at other garages on the mountain. You don't have to deal with GM services. The body shop manager had to actually get on the asphalt to look under my rig and he was dressed like he was going to a wedding not a body shop and complained he got dirty. COME ON MAN!!

Add another member with both intelligence and taste to the GM list of proud owners. Great choice Lucas. Searle's in town is great to deal with.

9 pages for a pick up truck. Good, bad and really ugly if you ask this Silverado guy. The last thing I need is a cooler under the back seats. I'll take subtle style and reliability over fake plastic wood dashboards and redneck under floor coolers any day. My tasteful opinion only.

If you told me any Walleye would be there today I wouldn't believe you. Good to see, congrats. Please DO NOT EAT IT.

Klotz Lake Camp. Highway 11 way up there before Long Lac. Guaranteed if you know what you are doing. Fishing not catching.

Those huge Jumbo Jets are riveted. I wonder why? I am a StarCraft guy. I have seen welded boats with zero leaks after 20 years, same as riveted. And leaks after 4 years on both. Chevy or Ford?

I am an old guy that does not like paradigm shifts. I admit it. I will take a Rappala over almost, I repeat almost all other brand tackle. Each and every one has their application. Bass = Rappala and Walleye depending when and where. But long lining here on Erie for Pics I never tie a Rappala on, never. They just don't work as well as others, Reef Runners, Ripplin Redfin, old AC Bombers, Greasy Chicken, Limp Richards, Mamas Stew and Pink Panties spoons to name a few of the crazy spoons here. This year Erie Dearies worked well, they came out over 40 years ago. As far as quality you pay for what you get. But I will never pay 15 bananas for a plastic body anything. I do have a few Live Target plugs I paid 20 bucks for that stay in the box in case I loose them. That should go in stupid things one has done thread. You know the saying, new tackle catches more fisherman than fish.

Congrats Ryan, I hope it works for you. Watch your wind prediction sites and be smart before heading out in that boat on any lake. I will never set my butt in one since I saw the "White Light" in a Jon style boat on a 500 acre wind protected lake. That's when I bought our StarCraft deep V.

oops

Our prayers and hearts are with Sue, your family and you today Big Cliff.

Good luck fishing, I loved Balsam way back when we went every fall for a few years. We never did fish much though, more elbow bending and loosing money at cards. I hope you aren't like my cousin who would invite me up to his cottage in the Wiarton area fishing once a year, at the end of October and he just happened to almost out of gas in the boat. I didn't mind the first 2 times if only to get away and see the leaves on the trees. But by the third year it was so obvious, actually it was obvious the first year, I told him I would give him the Family DIY plumbers rate and DIY Marine mechanic rate and he can't afford that so he had better learn how. Actually he can well afford it, he's just cheap and thinks I'm stupid. Good guy overall.

I'm working night shift and go back to my office. These are the old type offices with 1/2 upper windows. I meet our cleaning lady doing her job. "Hello Mr. Boss" she says "Hi Rita." I say and give her a smile." I sit at my desk and start doing something. My lower leg gets "itchy" and the itch starts moving. I realize a Mouse is crawling up my leg under my long Johns. You have to picture that I basically have a Batman utility belt on. An old heavy Motorola radio, a 10" industrial flashlight, 25' tape and big metallurgical log in the back pocket. Now I scream like a little girl, jump up out of the chair and undo the belt and my pants and underwear fall to the floor, grab and throw Mickey against the wall, all the while screaming like that schoolgirl. The problem was the Mike for the radio is clipped to my shirt and the cord is stretched to the floor. I/m standing there butt naked from the waist down and the mike decides to unclip, hit the floor and come back and smack me in the face drawing blood. Now I look up and realize the little old lady has been standing there for the entire show.

I like what one guy said "A big stupid one."

A true legend and most importantly ORR, Original Rock and Rolla.

Do a compression test. Last year we installed a rebuilt crate OB on a guys boat. It ran but like crap all year. Sputtered and spit at 3000 RPM, started, trolled just fine. Finally found low compression on 2 of 4 cylinders.

I once Pepper sprayed myself by accident. It burns like an essobee, (auto correct that) for a long time. And makes you feel stupid, for a long time.

I don't know if this is fake news or not. An unbelievable story. www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-dorset-41608814

Fantastic Dan, she missed sharing a bday with me by 2 days.

I have crank baits, spoons, spinner baits and long minnow baits in my box.

The HD antenna doesn't suit our viewing needs.

On call, not working 24/7. I take it you have never been in management. You do what ya gotta do.

That's not true. Not for Hamilton Health Services at least. Between Mom and Dad being in there too many times in the last few years sometimes I feel I am on a first name basis with staff. I have never been refused information, sometimes very detailed info from the duty nurse on the ward including their primary Physicians name and number. They have even returned calls in the middle of the night.

We know all to well about Algae Bloom on Erie, 2" thick try 2 feet thick here. Has been for years, it was here when I was an 8 year old staying at friends cottage on the lake. Why don't they get it on the US side like we do is my question?

For a million bucks I wouldn't recognize his name and that is regretfully sad when it comes to Canadian talent. Say Mr. Lehey, of course, everyone know him. Condolences to his fans, friends, and family.
