  1. I'm going back 30 years ago when we had a camp on the Ottawa. I didn't hunt but the guys would shoot waterfowl and I was told NO you can't shoot a sitting duck. It must of changed if it's legal now, I would be mad as hell to Cliff especially for these lugins shooting at shore, that's just stupid. A well placed throw of a stone in the middle of the flock would piss them off I bet, or a blast from a safety horn. Idiotos.
  2. Now how great is that? Man the trophy is almost the size of the Stanley Cup. Plus they get to put some cash in their jeans. Forget the fact that those guys were beat out by a lady. I find women that enjoy angling out fish guys regularly, me for sure. Something to do with pheromones I once read.
  3. The wize guys heads in Vegas must be exploding. no one knows who is going to cover who this year.
  4. Just when you think you've seen it all. The Rams Steelers game is delayed because the pyrotechnics when the players took the field caught the turf on fire. Pyrotechnics in a domed stadium, duh. Want to bet that today is the last time the NFL allows this.
  5. I would like to support you, The problem with www.change .org is that I get 6 petitions every day to sign that are part of that org.
  6. I love what you can do with Photoshop.
  7. As they say "it's all good". To live up there she must be a tough gal, so she will mend well, plus she has to put up with the likes of you! And thank you for your thoughts. Of course the tech at the hospital won't give results but told Tich to have a good sleep tonight with a wink. That has to be good.
  8. I learn something ever day. Tom Cofflin head coach of the NY Giants just challenged a scoring play by the Washington Redskins. A scoring play is not challengable (new word). He looses a time out because he challenged it. With all the money these guys get on the coaching staff you would think someone would know ALL the rules besides the zebras.
  9. They got caught. I dare say no other car manufacturers cheat. The L/100 KM sticker on my Chevy Silverado truck when I bought it new is a joke,,,,, on me.
  10. All great suggestions. If I had everything everyone suggests I would have to pull another trailer behind the boat to put it all. But all great. I keep my old ties downs as back ups as well. A spare receiver with a ball including pin. It doesn't help me stored in the shed. And don't forget the duct tape, lots of it.
  11. Too much sun today. I have to go back and check but I would have bet Kelly had something to do with Cleveland, Sorry, an oldtimers moment. edit: yep too much sun or Smirnoff's. Great to hear your son had a shot at coaching at that level, 1 out of several 1000 at least. A former team mate and friend is coaching with Hamilton. He gave up a great paying job as a C.O. to coach at the University and pro level for 1/2 the salary then with a young family. He has a very understanding and supporting wife. He has dragged her and the family across the nation coaching at the University and pro level. I see him getting a head coaching gig soon, I hope.
  12. 2 years back after travelling down the road I heard a bang, followed by a bigger bang and the sound of the trailer tongue dragging on the pavement. I tell you the ball was on, and locked. It disconnected no matter how many people tell me it couldn't be locked on. I take 15 seconds now and put down the wheel jack and raise it until I see it lift the truck. We talked about this when it happened here on OFC. It was locked. Otherwise it wouldn't have made it past the first right hand turn let alone the other 3 turns I made.
  13. As in real estate, location, location. Mom and Dad moved to downtown Hamilton to a retirement residence after 60 years in a nice residential area. He has seen more violence there in his entire life except for the war. I told them, warned tem, pleaded with them not to go there. We are looking for another place as we speak. To make my point it all depends where in the city you live. Jane and Finch is rotten apples to sweet oranges when compared to Rosedale in T.O I've been to Tokyo, one can't compare the Ginza with Romaji where all the sex clubs are, I think that's the area. There will always be areas in cities to stay away from, everywhere.
  14. Mr. G. When I was in high school my favorite NFL team was the Browns but if I didn't cheer for Buffalo I didn't get supper. Jim Brown was reason #1. Plus our school football uniforms were identical to Cleveland's, home and away including the pumpkin heads. I learned that the original Principal of the school was a huge Browns fan in the 50"s but they called the teams The Glendale Bears, he tried Browns but was shut down, So of course my second team was Da Bears, it didn't hurt that Butkus was in the middle then. So I played RB and inside. I think the lowly fans of Cleveland deserves better than the likes of Chip Kelly, I just don't like him, period. He reminds me of Dick Jauron, a deer caught in the headlights look to him. They must have a spinning wheel in the coaches office, who starts this week? Spin the wheel. OK Johnny Football, wait spin again. If Ernie Davis could have continued to play Cleveland would have been unstoppable.
  15. lowerunit, you have been here long enough to know threads have more twist and turns than an F1 course.
  16. Like I said earlier a break in when the residents are at home is very highly unlikely. I need to find out what the odds are in Ontario unless someone here is less lazy than me this AM. If someone broke into my place they will probably leave me a 20 once they look in the fridge.
  17. Chris you choke up on the club.
  18. A rifle shaft 7 iron is much more effective than the shorter baseball bat. And it will do much more damage if wielded. Aim for the muscle between the neck and the shoulder. If you miss one way or another it will still stop someone in their tracks. That is if you are absolutely sure they do not have a gun. I have never been confronted by an intruder and hope I never am. I only know of 1 person that confronted an intruder and he received a shot gun blast to his arm. Opps M2B2 is the second. The odds here in Canada must be very high. All these home invasions I read about in the last few years have been drug related or by persons that knew the victim and they both were from the same country of origin. The person I did know was confronted by 2 masked men and were there to relieve them of their pain meds, and they knew them personally as well. I think those that do have fire arms are higher on the list for theft than a home where there are none. Guns bring big money and are easier to unload. ( No pun intended but it's a good one) Loose lips sink ships.
  19. Fantastic Lew, you da man. Maybe I should book a charter with you if I want to get another before my clock ticks to zero.
  20. Consider thoughts and prayers sent. I have to take my girl in tomorrow for a scan because they saw something, whatever something is. It's absolutely frustrating knowing you can't do a thing. Hang in Blizz, we have your back.
  21. Lew do you know how many Musky you have boated over the years? It must be many and for sure more then my 3. I'll take a Northern over a Musky any day. I know how to catch Pike. But seriously a 40" Pike on light line is far more exiting than a 40" Musky on a cable and a come along.
  22. G, man it's 2 games. You can't win the Super Bowl after 2 games and you can't lose it either. Remember when KC crushed the Patriots I think in game #2 last year. If I remember the Pats were 2-2 after 4 games. Too early to tell about anyone. Giving up a record 475 or some such ridiculous yardage is not good, granted. The Bills actually went up 1 spot in the power rankings on some site, what ever power rankings are. (I actually know but who cares). But 8 sacks, 110 yards in penalties, allowing 500 yards, not pretty. If you go back Buffalo out played NE in the 4th, but you need to play the other 3 too! Bills fans are blaming everything from the officiating to the Doug Fluttie curse in a loss. It's the defending SB champs you lost to not the Saskatoon Hilltops. This is the first year I'm actually watching as a fan of Buffalo since those Super Bowl years. Time will tell. I like how NY looked last night especially with 2 rookie D linemen in the middle they played well. Revis and Cromartie on the corners, that's just not fair. It must be lonely out there. Fitz can hold his own, especially in Jeopardy.
  23. I don't understand what he is suing for. He was suspended only after he filed suit. What damages were incurred to him personally? Great journalism Globe and Mail. In high school almost 50 years ago we were taught answer the 5 W's. Who, what, when, where and why? Shawn Fine hasn't answered those questions well.
  24. 32 PSI sounds low for a trailer tire. I was very surprised to learn my new West Lake tires are 50 PSI.
  25. Very nice Northern Sir. We are planning a return trip to Klotz Lake for some of those big babies after 35 years. A question though, why would anyone know what another guys ass butt looks like?
