Old Ironmaker

Oh well, 1 and done. I can't do much with bragging rights anyway. Good luck all, I'll be watching. Down another 10 today too.

Lew I just read what you wrote, that's tragic. It just shows how fragile life can be. Rick you must be dumping your chamber pot out the window for all those critters to stay away. Why you don't have those pests is beyond explanation. Where are they? Inside the puppies?

We have a family of Groundy's living in the rock wall at our place, to come and think about we are living at his place. I don't know what they eat but I just throw veggies towards the rocks and it's gone in the AM. If they are well fed they might stay out of my garbage.

Mr. Brian B, hows it feel to be one and done. I might be in the same boat with the Ravens down behind Oakland of all teams. That's why there is Pro Line money to be made early in the season taking the dogs and the points.

Rex is saying "we talked too much" ya think coach? Don't tug on Superman's cape. M2B2 your Purple People Eaters came through today.

20/17 Raiders half over in 3 seconds. We just came back from a walk on the beach and scored 2 nice lures. A topwater with a wire leader on it, we don't have Pike here?????? Amateur neighbours I say, thanks for the 15 bucks in plugs and the wire leader. It has to be 5C warmer down there, coming up the rocks was like walking into AC. Nice. This day can't get any better, we are blessed. edit: I'll let you know how blessed we are in a few months when the 100 KPH winds blow snow through the good quality hurricane rated patio doors. One day at a time.

You didn't just say that Rodbender!!!!!!! I see a delete coming.

Fox urine, that is my theory with my urine. It can't be very attractive to critters. I can see me on Dragon's Den. There will be plenty of people willing to make money at home without leaving the bathroom.

Actually it is a good point labeling stuff. I had a guy on my crew that actually kept gas in Coke bottles in his garage. You can guess what happened when his kids saw the Pop bottles. Idioto. The kids came out OK as they both played ball for Mac and one went on to play in the CFL. Thank God it didn't turn out tragically. I reuse spray bottles all the time and mark them with a Sharpie. I better mark the urine spray clearly or our BBQ might have an acrid taste to it. Note: don't put gas with 2 stroke oil in the lawnmower or in a pop bottle.

There have been several aliens that have been and are amongst us mortal humans, Michael Angelo, John Lennon, Elvis and Tom Brady. He is a great QB and I am tired of watching him beat the rest of mere mortals, not fair. Tyrod Taylor is showing his inexperience this afternoon. But what a gorgeous day. They are pulling Taylor for Matt Castle, why not EJ Manual. Oh he isn't dressed that's why, duh. Aaron Williams off in an ambulance, not a good sign. I wish him well, he is a very passionate player and his 6 misconduct penalties show that, or a lack of discipline, that's on his coaches. When do the Ravens play M2? Down to the beach for a Hibachi Q as soon as this game is over. Life is good today and I appreciate it.

Another 7 off a turn over for NE, oh my oh my. It aint over till the fat lady sings. Too early.

I get up to make Tich a special coffee and NE starts there drive from the Bills 13 yard line. 14-7 NE. I am getting 5 different games today 6 if you include CFL. I am sitting on the deck as I brought the big screen out here. Look to my right and see a NG rig putting along while trying to watch 6 games not including the Jays. 23C and dry, sunny skies. I woke with no pain this AM after having a couple of shots in the hips earlier. Life is good man, really good. Brady knocking at the door again. That's not good.

It is Kool coming across hidden treasures. Last year when moving Mom and Dad out of the home we grew up in the stuff we found was fantastic. My brother found his complete set of Hot Wheels in the box from the 60's, my first ever baseball glove, many kool things that brought me to a tear or two. Remember those child safety locks you got at the garage from the 50's? I found a handful still in the metal boxes. I gave 2 to a pal with a 57 Chev sedan for his back doors. They replace the buttons so a kid couldn't unlock them from inside. I don't know how safe that really was. When doing a reno 20 years ago I found a time capsule hidden in the interior wall of a place built in 46'. The next door neighbors still kept in touch with the family and I returned it to the gentleman who was 10 years old in 46'. During the same reno I found a pair of pristine Electricians pliers that was Gyp Rocked into the wall. I use it to this day.

I'm thinking about just putting it in a spray bottle, like my BBQ flair up water. Hold on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,my wife's saying there's something sticky on the concrete pad by the shed! Ooops.

Yes indeed it is evident you live in Hamilton. Too many trips down Burlington Street Mike? Coke Oven Emissions will cause behavior that we have seen here, be careful and keep the windows up.

As this short campaign (compared to the US 13 month Marathon) I was sure I was going PC as the card in my pocket shows. I am totally undecided now. One thing I am sure of is that Jr. is not the guy I want. If he had a British accent he would sound like a Royal with his over the top entitled speech. I said that once here and got lambasted. He is not the kind of guy I want in my boat for an hour, sorry. He would be sent to the kiddy G7 table. It may come down to, who would I rather fish with for a day? Is that nuts? A guy with a beard? Unfortunately when it comes to marking a ballot people will think like me, an average Canuck, good or bad Wormdunker for PM!

I was telling a pal that I have to lock my garbage up in the shed and he asked why? Why? Because they dig around and leave only the bones for me to pick up. He says he leaves his garbage out and urinates around it and doesn't have a problem. It actually sounds logical. So I did this today. Does anyone else piss on their garbage? I hope Mrs. Richter next door doesn't call the cops. This isn't a Johnny D Corleone buster. Straight goods ????

I'm wathching Ottawa/Sask game. Entertaining 27 all 36 seconds,. Hold on.......why a time out by Sask,,,,,,,29 secs left Ottawa chip shot to win. 22 seconds left. 3 points is good. Ottawa int. Win Ottawa away. Watch out for these Red Blacks folks. They can be the real deal in the east. Heavens name what is that Rough Riders mascot supposed to be? A giant rat? Calling Collarus' injury an ACL injury. Anterior Cruciate injury is not good. A strain 3 weeks a tear gone for 2015. I hate that no matter who it is. Years ago it was a career ending thing. No matter who your team is let's hope it's not a tear. Currenty ranked 1st in the league in every sat for QB's. Would you have him come out of the locker room in street clothes, in his uniform or not at all? I say uniform, he can lead from the sidelines plus keep the opposition coach thinking. Burris the old goat threw for 477 yards!!!! Not bad on the road, wait, fantastic man I love old guys doing well. Burris just gave Collarus a get well soon call out, so did the Regina QB after the game, pure class.

Sorry Rick, we drove out to Norfolk today to find some and all the tobacco is gone. Next year I will get some as long as I don't get any rock salt in my ass. Maybe I'll just ask. I think it is great to raise the kids immersed in their Mom's culture but make sure they know the other mosaics of your mixed DNA. I have a niece that anglicised our last name and do not like that one iota. She is Irish Italian but didn't like our Italian name I suppose. I have cousins that did the same to get a leg up in the 60's. We all love her but I can't condone that. With your Mom there she can be a positive Nona. Don't lose who you really are in the conversation. You forgot the American part.

I tried to sell 1 item on Kijiji. Never again. I had to waste my time and one time the guy needed to use the washroom and they were looking at everything I had but the inflatable for sale. Go behind the tree was met by "No I have to go inside". They were casing the place I know it 110%. When I asked them to show me some of the cash they had the guy couldn't show me a 20. It was a total casing of my place. They wanted to know if I go south for the winter. Get the "F" out of here and I told them if one thing was missing I know who they are but they don't know who I am. I took my phone out and took their pictures and the license plate. The truck had 2 different colored fenders and was a hoopdi. I was born on a Thursday, not last Thursday. Just after that the tragedy in Ancaster happened. I gave the boat away to a deserving person on another forum. What am I going to do with 200 bucks? Risk, reward, not worth the risk I believe. Beware all, there are people out there that are not worth dealing with. I am pessimistic with a capital P because of years of making me that. I'll give it away before having to deal with some of these goofs.

I didn't watch the game, I had to sneak out of the theatre to check the score. I hope to hell Collarus only has a strained knee and not a tear. This and the NFL are all QB driven leagues. NO QB, no chance. Saw Black Sunday, 6 out of 10 because I know the story and it wasn't told that well. But Johnny Depp had a Oscar winning performance. I thought it was Whitey Bolger playing himself, eerie actually. Nothing about his victims, all about him and his punk ass.

Dave I have not met a refugee that has a sense of entitlement, have you? Actually I have only met one well dressed refugee on a flight over from London and he spoke only Hungarian. I tried to help him fill his declaration form and all he could say was refugee. I pictured a refugee clothed in rags carrying a valise on their heads. Times have changed. I do know 2 men in black took him out of line before he reached customs. So I have no expertise when it comes to refugees, not many of us here as well I would guess. How did they know who he was before handing in his form? I thought it was strange then and still do. Maybe they get a heads up from the flight crew, I don't know. Hold on Bubba boy come to think of it a Dr. of mine was a refugee from Libya. He certainly has paid back whatever debt he put on us and I am thankful he's here not there.

Taking care of those in this World that happen to live in a country where you risk your children's lives just to attend school, if they have a school to attend is what we do.

dave524. I did not have a similar experience that you did with our wonderful former service men, I should say some. Being of Italian decent back then I was a visible minority. The first non WASP attending our grade school I leaned early what it felt to be treated differently. I actually had teachers and others speak very slowly to me so I could understand them. That was a long time ago. I received a failing grade in health habits. My parents were called in to explain why I wore the same cloths more than a few times a week. My American born mother went ballistic on them as my clothes were washed before every time I wore them. She went on to become the Prez of the Home and School association the next year.

Ah ha! That explains everything. This proves you are indeed an alien to our planet that posses abilities our species can not even comprehend. That is the mother ship above you.
